The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This policy safeguards land for planned road schemes so that development cannot block their delivery. The protected schemes include several Aylesbury link roads, the Wing West Link Road, Buckingham South Link Road, Princes Risborough Relief Road, Whaddon and Horton bypasses, A421 capacity improvements and Winslow link roads. Development that would prejudice these schemes, or the Transport Improvement Lines shown on the council's website, will not be supported. Major sites must also identify, protect and help deliver strategic transport infrastructure where evidence shows it is critical.

TR2: Transport improvements
Development will not be supported where they would prejudice the provision of new or improved safeguarded highways infrastructure, as shown on the Policies Map. The following schemes are safeguarded by this plan:
a) Eastern Aylesbury Link Road (south) (between A41 and Mike Griffin Way).
b) Southern Aylesbury Link Road (between A41 and A413).
c) Southeast Aylesbury Link Road (between A413 and B4443).
d) Southwestern Aylesbury Link Road (between A4010 and A418).
e) Northeast Aylesbury Link Road (NESS Site) (between A413 and A418).
f) Wing West Link Road (between Cublington Road and Stewkley Road).
g) Buckingham South Link Road (between the A413 to the A421).
h) Princes Risborough Relief Road (between Shoot acre Lane junction with A4010 and Grove Lane junction with A4010 via the NESS site).
i) Whaddon bypass (between Coddimoor Lane and Nash Road).
j) Horton bypass (between B488 Horton Road / Station Road junction and B488 North via Land at Horton).
k) A421 capacity improvements (between Bottledump Roundabout and A421 / Coddimoor Road / Whaddon Road roundabout).
l) Winslow Link Roads (between A413 Buckingham Road and Great Horwood Road; and between Great Horwood Road and Little Horwood Road) Development will also not be supported where it would prejudice the delivery of Transport Improvement Lines identified on the council’s website. Major development sites are required to identify, protect and help to deliver strategic transport infrastructure, both existing and new, where there is robust evidence, the infrastructure is critical to widening transport choice and realising opportunities for large scale development, and prevent severe transport impacts on the highway.
7.304 In line with the Highway and Planning Authorities' priorities, the local plan formally safeguards Highways schemes on the Policies Map, and Transport Improvement Lines through this policy to ensure that no development could prejudice the delivery of these schemes.
7.305 The Council will not permit development that would prejudice the implementation of any of the schemes safeguarded by the Council (see list above and see transport improvement lines on the website). There are different types of road and junction improvement lines, and they are required to provide improvements to road networks, to increase road capacity, improve road safety, as well as creating additional public transport or non-vehicular routes for walking, wheeling and cycling.
7.306 In addition, major development sites are required to identify, protect and deliver strategic transport infrastructure where there is robust evidence it is critical to widen transport choice or support delivery of large-scale development. Strategic transport infrastructure may be required to improve the current transport network or support future travel requirements.
7.307 Strategic transport infrastructure includes new roads, improvements to road networks and creation of additional public transport (bus or rail), or non-vehicular routes for walking, wheeling and cycling. Infrastructure will be delivered on site or through contribution towards its delivery. Due to the nature of Buckinghamshire, roads will remain an important part of strategic transport infrastructure.
7.308 Developers will need to liaise with the Council and neighbouring Councils to appropriately address cross boundary impacts as part of their planning application.
