A high carbon transport project is defined as a road or an airport.
An expanded road or road junction is one that has increased capacity for motor vehicle traffic, we are not counting bus lanes, cycle infrastructure, or pedestrian infrastructure.
The intention of this question is to understand overall increases in road capacity, rather than recent housing developments. We will exclude minor roads built exclusively to connect new housing to the pre-existing road network.
Approved = Passed a planning application in favour of expansion or construction of a road/airport since 2020.
Expanded = A road/airport has been expanded after 2020, even if it received planning approval before 2020. In the case of airports the expansion would include increasing passenger numbers.
Built = A road/airport has been built after 2019, even if it received planning approval before 2020.
