    Stone Hill Park Framework Travel Plan

    Introduction

     AECOM has been appointed by Stone Hill Park Limited to provide transport advice for the redevelopment of the former 

    Manston Airport, renamed as Stone Hill Park (SHP), the Site.

    This Framework Travel Plan (FTP) accompanies a hybrid planning application for the comprehensive redevelopment of 

    SHP and has been prepared in accordance with National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) (2014) and Kent County

    Council’s (KCC) ‘Guidance on Transport Assessments and Travel Plans’ (2008).

    In addition to this Travel Plan (TP), a Transport Assessment (TA) has also been prepared to assess the potential impacts

    of the development on the transport network surrounding the site. The findings of the TA and TP have fed into the

    preparation of the Environmental Statement (ES) that also accompanies the planning application. These reports are inter-

    related and should be read in conjunction with one another.

    Background

    The site is located to the west of the conurbation of Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs in the District of Thanet and is

    bound by the A299 Hengist Way to the south, B2190 Spitfire Way and Minster Road to the west, arable farmland to the

    north and Manston Court Road and further farmland to the east. The site is bisected by the B2050 Manston Road which

    connects with Spitfire Way to the west and the A256 in the east. A site location plan detailing the extents of the site is

    included in Appendix A.

    The site is a disused airfield with no aviation uses currently taking place. A small number of existing buildings are

    Stone Hill Park Framework Travel Plan

    It is envisaged that the measures included in a FTP should demonstrate a holistic approach by incorporating both ‘hard’

    engineering measures and the ‘soft’ marketing and management measures necessary to address the transport impacts

    arising from the development.

     A FTP should include targets, monitoring and management arrangements to ensure that the objectives of the plan are

    achieved and that it remains sustainable over the longer term.

    Purpose of a Travel Plan

    The main aim of this FTP is to reduce the reliance on use of the private car for essential and non-essential journeys made

    by staff, residents and visitors to and from the site.

    This FTP will provide a template for development of future site specific TPs for individual plots located on the site.

    This TP has been prepared in line with the guidance provided within:

    ·  Department of Communities and Local Government ‘National Planning Practice Guidance’;

    ·  Department for Transport’s (DfT) ‘Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process’;

    ·  DfT ‘Making Residential Travel Plans Work: Guidelines for New Developments’;

    ·  KCC ‘Guidance on Transport Assessments and Travel Plans’; and,

    ·  KCC’s ‘New Ways 2 Work – best practice guide for preparing Travel Plans in Kent’.

    Benefits A wide range of benefits can be accrued from the implementation of a FTP, including a lower demand for car parking,

    improved health and wellbeing of residents, staff and other users of the site as well as reduced environmental effects in

    the vicinity of the site in terms of air quality, noise and congestion.

     A broader range of benefits that can be achieved from the implementation of FTP initiatives include:

    ·

    Improving accessibility by ensuring that walking cycling and public transport measures are built into the design

    Stone Hill Park Framework Travel Plan

    IntroductionThis section of the FTP considers the key transport policies which are pertinent to the development proposal. The relevant

    policy documents are considered at national, county and local levels under their respective headings.

    National Policy

    National Planning Policy Framework

    The Government’s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published in March 2012, and outlines theGovernment’s planning policies and how they are expected to be applied. The document replaces all existing Planning

    Policy Guidance notes and Planning Policy Statements.

    The NPPF states that, ‘the purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable

    development.’ According to paragraph 9:

    ‘Pursuing sustainable development involves seeking positive improvements in the quality of the built, natural and historic

    environment, as well as in people’s quality of life, including (but not limited to):

    making it easier for jobs to be created in cities to ns and illages

     –  Policy TR3 – Provision of Transport Infrastructure – ‘The district and county councils will ensure, by means of a

    legal agreement that proper provision is made for transport infrastructure that is necessary and relevant to the

    development to be permitted. Proposals for transport infrastructure will be assessed in terms of their impact on

    capacity and safety of the transport network together with their social and economic impacts.’

     –  Polic y TR12 – Cycli ng - in order to promote increased use of cycling the Local Plan states:

    · ‘The council will seek the provision at the earliest opportunity, of a network of cycle routes. Planning

    permission will not be granted for any development, which would prejudice the implementation of 

    proposed cycle routes.

    · The council will seek the incorporation of facilities for cyclists into the design of new and improved

    roads, junction improvements and traffic management proposals.

    · Substantial development generating travel demand will be required to provide convenient and secure

    cycle-parking and changing facilities. Proposals to provide such facilities as part of development

    proposals in town centres and at transport interchanges, schools and places of employment will be

    permitted, and

    · In new residential development facilities for the secure parking and storage of cycles should be provided

    or, in exceptional circumstances where not provided, the design should facilitate the provision in future.’

     –  Polic y TR15 - Green Travel Plans – ‘Development proposals likely to generate significant travel demand and/or traffic

    movement will be required to demonstrate, through green travel plans, specific measures to encourage and facilitate

    use of walking, cycling and public transport in preference to private car travel. The council will seek to approve

    measures, which will assist implementation of green travel plans and school travel plans.’

     –  Polic y TR16 - Car Parking Provision – ‘Proposals for development will be required to make satisfactory provision for the parking of vehicles (including, where appropriate, service vehicles). Proposals seeking car parking provision

    above the standards set out in Appendix G will not be permitted. In conservation areas where provision of parking in

    line with this policy would be detrimental to the character of the conservation area or have an adverse effect on the

    setting of a listed building or ancient monument then exceptions may be made.’

     Appendix G of the Local Plan outlines the current TDC parking standards. These are provided for a limited range of land

    uses with all other uses expected to be limited to 70% of the levels established within the KCC Vehicle Parking Standards.

    The standards that are specified are outlined in Table 2.4 below.

    Consultation Document (January 2015) have been identified as pertinent to this TP. However, it should be noted that this

    is not an adopted plan and therefore the policies outlined here are only provided for reference to indicate current policy

    direction within the District.

    Section six of the Preferred Options Consultation report sets out the transport strategy for Thanet and notes that KCC andTDC are jointly working on a Transport Strategy for the district that aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the

    transport network.

     –  Policy SP34 - Safe and Sustainable Travel s tates that , ‘The Council will work with developers, transport service

    providers, and the local community to manage travel demand, by promoting and facilitating walking, cycling and use

    of public transport as safe and convenient means of transport. Development applications will be expected to take

    account of the need to promote safe and sustainable travel. New developments must provide safe and attractive

    cycling and walking opportunities to reduce the need to travel by car.’

     –  Policy SP35 - Accessible Location states that, ‘Development generating a significant number of trips will be

    expected to be located where a range of services are or will be conveniently accessible on foot, by cycle or public

    transport. The Council will seek to approve proposals to cluster or co-locate services at centres accessible to local

    communities by public transport and on foot.’

     –  Policy SP36 - Transport Infrastructure states that, ‘Development proposals will be assessed in terms of the type

    and level of travel demand likely to be generated. Development will be permitted only at such time as proper provision

    is made to ensure delivery of relevant transport infrastructure. Where appropriate, development will be expected to

    contribute to the provision, extension or improvement, of walking and cycling routes and facilities and to highway

    improvements.

     –  Subject to individual assessments, schemes may be required to provide or contribute to:

    · Capacity improvements/connections to the cycle network

    · Provision of pedestrian links with public transport routes/interchanges

    · Improvements to passenger waiting facilities

    · Facilities for display of approach time information at bus stops along identified quality bus corridors

    · Improvement and expansion of public transport services

    · Improvements to the road network’

     –  Polic y TP04 - Public Transpor t – ‘Development proposals will be expected to take account of the need to facilitate

    use of public transport. The Council will seek to approve proposals consisting of or incorporating:

    · Improvement of passenger and waiting facilities

    · Measures to improve personal security

    · Improved accessibility for people with mobility limitations

    · Bus/rail interchange facilities

    · secure cycle storage.’

     –  Policy TP10- Traffic Management  – ‘Development required to implement traffic management measures designed to

    realise the best use of the highway network in terms of safety, traffic capacity and environmental conditions will be

    approved.’

     –  Polic y TP06 – Car Parking – ‘Proposals for development will be expected to make satisfactory provision for the

    parking of vehicles. Suitable levels of provision will be considered in relation to individual proposals taking account of 

    the type of development, location, accessibility, availability of opportunities for public transport, likely accumulation of 

    car parking, design considerations and having regard to the guidance referred to below:

    ·  In considering the level of parking provision in respect of proposals for residential development (use

    class C3), the Council will refer to the guidance provided in Kent Design Review: Interim Guidance Note

    3 - Residential Parking.

    · In considering the level of parking provision in respect of proposals for other development, the Council

    will refer to the indicative guidance set out in Appendix E’

    Best Practice Guidance

    National Planning Practice Guidance

    The Government has undertaken a review of the planning guidance that supports the delivery of the NPPF and published

    updated NPPG online at http://planningguidance.planningportal.gov.uk/. The updated planning practice guidance includes

    guidance on TPs, TAs and Transport Statements.

    The Planning Practice Guidance on TPs, TAs and Transport Statements includes guidance on:

    ·  When TPs, TAs and Transport Statements are required;

    ·  How the scope of the plans and assessment should be defined; and,

    ·  What should be included within the documents.

    This FTP has been prepared in accordance with this guidance.

    Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process (DfT, 2009)

    This document was published in April 2009 and sets out the role the planning process can play in securing an effective

    TP, which minimises the impact of development on transport infrastructure and assists in reducing CO 2 emissions. In

    particular, it highlights that the key to a robust TPs is the development of a clear and integrated framework together with

    an explicit relationship between the TP and the development site.

    The document addresses current policy and describes the role of both the Local Authority and the applicant in facilitating

    the travel planning process. In particular, specific reference is made to securing the TP through condition or planning

    obligation, such as the Section 106 agreement, in order to ensure that it has an outcome. In order to understand if a TP

    has been effective, the document also outlines the importance of a monitoring and enforcement regime, and the

    specification of outcomes which are clear and measurable.

    In delivering a successful TP, the document also highlights the importance of involving all parties who are likely to

    influence the strategy to ensure that the document is an important part of the development delivery.

    IntroductionThis section reviews the existing transport conditions in the vicinity of the site. More specifically, the section provides a

    description of the existing site operation and location, a review of the existing walking, cycling and public transport facilities

    in the vicinity of the site, a description of the existing highway network and a review of accessibility to amenities.

    Site Location and Existing Uses

    The site is located to the west of the conurbation of Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs in the District of Thanet and is

    bound by the A299 Hengist Way to the south, B2190 Spitfire Way to the west, arable farmland to the north and ManstonCourt Road and further farmland to the east. The site is bisected by the B2050 Manston Road which connects with

    Spitfire Way in the west and the A256 in the east.

    The site is a disused airfield with no aviation uses currently taking place. A small number of existing buildings are

    occupied and low levels of activity occur associated with this. These occupied buildings are located on Spitfire Way and

    the airport access road within the site.

    Figure 3.1 below illustrates the site location in relation to the main junctions and railway stations in the vicinity of the site.

    This plan is replicated at Appendix A.

    between the Minster roundabout and Columbus Avenue roundabout is a dual-carriageway featuring two lanes in each

    direction, is subject to a 50mph speed limit and is street lit.

     A number of points of access to the site are located on Spitfire Way providing emergency access to the former runway and

    taxiway network in addition to a number of existing buildings.

    The site is well located in terms of strategic vehicular access with the A299 skirting the southern boundary. The A299 has

    recently been upgraded as part of the East Kent Access scheme which opened in May 2012 and provides strategic

    highway connections towards Sandwich, Deal and Dover to the south and towards Canterbury, Maidstone and London to

    the west. The A299 in the vicinity of the site is a dual carriageway featuring two lanes in each direction. With the

    exception of the junctions the road is not street lit and subject to national speed limit (70mph).

    From the Minster roundabout the A299 continues east on an east-west alignment along the southern boundary of the site

    to where it forms a three arm roundabout with the A299 Hengist Way and Canterbury Road West (Cliffsend Roundabout).

    Canterbury Road West borders the site in the south east and is the former A299 before the East Kent Access scheme was

    introduced. The road is in places a wide single carriageway with one lane running in each direction but has been traffic

    calmed through the village of Cliffsend. Immediately to the east of the Cliffsend roundabout a set of traffic signals have

    been implemented to calm traffic and encourage the use of the A299 Hengist Way. Through the village of Cliffsend

    Canterbury Road West is subject to a 30mph speed limit and is street lit. Either side of this the road is subject to national

    speed limit. Canterbury Road West continues east through Cliffsend where it forms a roundabout with the A256 Haine

    Road at Lord of the Manor.

    To the south of the site the A299 forms a roundabout junction with the A256 and Cottington Link Road (Sevenscore

    Roundabout). The A256 then continues south towards Sandwich and ultimately Dover. The A256 continues east and

    forms a traffic signal junction with Sandwich Road, Haine Road and Canterbury Road East at Lord of the Manor.

    The A256 Haine Road runs in a north-south direction to the east of the site and links the Lord of the Manor junction and

    Sandwich Road in the south with Westwood Cross and the A254 Margate Road in the north.

    To the west of the Minster roundabout the A299 forms roundabout junctions with the A28 which provide connections

    towards Canterbury to the south and Margate to the north. The A299 continues west and provides connections towards

    Herne Bay, Whitstable and the A2/M2 at Brenley Corner.

    In addition to the provision of some footways adjacent to highways in the local area, there is a network of Public Rights of 

    Way (PROW) comprising public bridleways and public footpaths in the vicinity of the site. Most notably the TR10 bridleway

    connects the east of the site with Ramsgate.

    Figure 3.2 below shows the PROWs in the vicinity of the site along with walking isochrones for 400m and 800m fromexisting points of access around the site boundary. This plan is replicated in  Appendix C.

    Victoria via Sittingbourne and Bromley South. The station is served by bus route 11 and therefore connects the

    development to the station.

    Minster Station is located approximately 2km south of the southwest corner of the site and is considered accessible by

    cycling and bus routes 38A and 11. Minster train station provides one train per hour to London Charing Cross (viaCanterbury). However, the station does not offer access to high speed services making this station less attractive for 

    access to rail based public transport.

    Future proposals for a Parkway Station to the south of the site, due to open in 2019, will provide further enhanced rail

    connections and access to Kent’s high speed rail services.

    Thanet Parkway station is part of a wider package of improvements on the Ramsgate to Ashford line that aims to reduce

     journey times to London from Ramsgate to around one hour. This is a two phase project broken down as follows:

    ·  Phase 1 - Ashford to Canterbury West - work currently underway;

    ·  Phase 2 - Canterbury West to Ramsgate - due to be complete by the end of 2016

    Reduced journey times to London will greatly enhance the accessibility of Thanet as a whole and provide access to

    London within approximately one hour.

     Access to Amenities

     Access to local amenities has been considered by reference to the number of services and facilities available within

    walking, cycling and driving distance of the site. An acceptable walking distance to access an amenity is considered to beup to two kilometres. An acceptable cycling distance is considered to be up to five kilometres.

    The site is located remote from large urban centres and therefore existing access to amenities on foot is limited. However,

    as identified above parts of Westwood, Ramsgate and Margate are accessible by bicycle.

    Figure 3.5 illustrates the amenities and facilities in the local area. This plan is replicated in  Appendix F. Table 3.3 below

    summarises the distance between the former terminal building on the site and local facilities.

    facilities are within cycling distance. To address this a local centre is proposed to be provided on site as part of the site

    wide masterplan to ensure the necessary facilities and amenities for both residents and users of the development are

    provided, reducing the need for travel in line with national and local policy.

    Introduction

    This section of the FTP provides an outline of the development proposals including a review of the access and parking

    arrangements.

    Development Proposals

    It is proposed to comprehensively redevelop the site to provide a mixed use development comprising of employment,

    retail, leisure, residential and educational uses. This planning application seeks hybrid planning permission. This will

    enable a range of land uses to be subject to outline planning permission, while a proportion of the site will be granted

    detailed planning consent. The development proposals that are the subject of this TA and included within the planningapplication are summarised in Table 4.1 below.

    Introduction

    This section of the TP outlines the likely travel patterns of future residents, staff and other users of the site of the site. The

    indicative modal splits used in this section have been extracted from the accompanying TA for this masterplan planning

    application.

    Residential Travel Patterns

    Trips to / from the development have been disaggregated into journey purpose using information from the DfT’s National

    Travel Survey (NTS). NTS provides journey purpose under a number of headings. For the purpose of this TA the trip

    generation has been split into work, education, shopping and other trips. The anticipated daily percentage split for each journey type which has been extracted from NTS 0502 and is illustrated in Table 5.1.

    Stone Hill Park Framework Travel Plan

    Table 5.2 above demonstrates that the highest proportion of trips are anticipated to be undertaken by car (46%) followed

    by car passenger (21%). The third most popular form of transport is likely to be by foot (18%) followed by bus (10%). Only

    2% of residents are anticipated to travel via bicycle.

    Employment Travel Patterns A significant quantum of employment land use is proposed as part of the development proposals, for which the end tenant

    is currently unknown, therefore 2011 Census Travel to Work data has been used to derive the likely modal split of trips.

    Due to the low number of work based trips generated by MSOA ‘Thanet 014’ in which the site is located, the modal split

    for the surrounding seven MSOAs have also been used to establish a robust mode share at the development. The

    resultant mode share is illustrated in Table 5.3 below.

    Introduction

    The aims and objectives of this FTP are set out below. The aims and objectives that have been set are developmentspecific and relate to the overall aspiration for the ongoing sustainability of the development and reducing the reliance on

    the use of the private car.

     Aims

    The overall aim of this FTP is to reduce the reliance on use of the private car for essential and non-essential journeys

    made by residents, staff and other users of the site. The overall aim is supported by the individual aims shown below:

    ·  Minimising travel by private car where practically possible to achieve fewer vehicular trips from the development

    than would otherwise have been the case;

    ·  Reducing congestion on surrounding roads and the effects of development-based traffic on emissions, noise,

    visual intrusion and road traffic accidents;

    ·  Encouraging the use of alternative methods of travel that minimise the environmental impact of local residents as

    well as those living/working within the development site through the promotion of attractive, safe, viable and

    efficient modes; and

    ·  Raising awareness of environmental issues, especially those which impact on personal health and innovative

    Introduction

    To support the aims and objectives of this FTP, mode share targets will be set. As per KCC’s ‘New Ways 2 Work – best

    practice guide for preparing Travel Plans in Kent’ the targets set in this FTP will be SMART:

    · Site - specific:  The targets take into account the location of the site in terms of accessibility and the type of 

    development proposed;

    · Measureable: The proportion of residents, staff and visitors using each mode of transport will be measured and

    monitored using the travel questionnaires as outlined in section ten of this report;

    ·  Achievable:  It is considered that given the proposals for public transport, walking and cycling that the targets are

    achievable;· Realistic:  Given the low baseline proportion of cycling and public transport trips a target increase in these types

    of trips is considered realistic. A reduction in staff car driver based trips (by 10%) for journeys of less than 5km is

    considered realistic as it is likely that these journeys could be undertaken by public transport or cycling; and

    · Time-bound: The targets are to be met within a defined period.

    Introduction

    This section of the report outlines the measures and initiatives that could be introduced at the site to achieve the targetsset out in section seven. The measures have been split into the respective land uses proposed on the site as follows:

    ·  Hard measures applicable to all users of the site;

    ·  Measures specific to the residential development;

    ·  Measures specific to the proposed employment and leisure uses on the site; and

    ·  Measures specific to education uses.

    The final measures to be implemented will be the subject of further discussion and refinement post application. It is

    envisaged that the measures proposed will be secured by a travel planning condition attached to any planning consent.

    Stone Hill Park Framework Travel Plan

  • 8/15/2019 SHP2016 - Framework Travel Plan

    52/99

     Allowance has been made within the pedestrian and cycle strategy for connections to/from the proposed Parkway Station.

    Should this station be delivered it is proposed that the footway on Canterbury Road West between the existing emergency

    access to the site immediately to the west of Jentex and Cliff View Road will be widened to provide a pedestrian route

    to/from the station. It is envisaged that this proposal will be secured via S106 agreement.

     A plan showing the proposed walking and cycling strategy is included within Appendix H.

    Secure and covered cycle parking will be provided in accordance with KCC’s parking standards to encourage cycling as a

    mode of transport. Where appropriate, showers and changing facilities will be provided for staff.

    Detailed Planning Application

    The site access arrangements for the Phase 1 development include the provision of a shared cycle/footway on one side of 

    the carriageway and a footway on the other. These new facilities will eventually be connected with the wider siteinfrastructure. However, in the interim they will provide access from the individual employment buildings to Spitfire Way.

    Cyclists will be expected to continue their route on foot from Spitfire Way whilst pedestrians will be able to access the bus

    stops associated with the Phase 1 Public Transport Strategy (PTS) outlined below. Secure and covered cycle parking will

    be provided in accordance with KCC’s standards to encourage cycling as a mode of transport.

    Public Transport Strategy

    Outline and Detailed Planning Application

     A comprehensive PTS has been developed for the site in conjunction with the principal bus operator for the area

    Stagecoach East Kent and KCC. The final strategy that is implemented will very much depend upon the phasing of the

    development and external factors such as the wider bus market and delivery of other strategic sites including the proposed

    Parkway Station. However, based upon discussions to date and an indicative phasing schedule the following strategy is

    proposed:

    Phase 1

    Stone Hill Park Framework Travel Plan

  • 8/15/2019 SHP2016 - Framework Travel Plan

    53/99

    Phase 4

    Development Quantum: Up to 1700 dwellings served from the A299 Hengist Way and Spitfire Way with emergency/bus

    access also provided from Manston Road. Up to 85,000m2 of employment space provided accessed from Spitfire Way.

     Accompanying PTS:·  A contribution towards diversion of route 38 through the site to serve the new local centre; and

    ·  A contribution towards diversion of route 9 through the site to serve the new local centre.

    Phase 5

    Development Quantum: Up to completion of development

     Accompanying PTS:

     A contribution towards the potential introduction of a new bus service to link the Local Plan sites, Westwood Cross, Stone

    Hill Park, Parkway Station and Discovery Park.

    It is considered that this PTS will be sufficient to accommodate the demand generated for public transport as a result of 

    the Proposed Development and will encourage the use of this mode for travel to and from the site in line with the targets

    set out in this FTP.

    Plans showing the proposed PTS by phase are included within  Appendix I.

    Electric Vehicle Charging

    In accordance with TDC’s ‘Air Quality Planning Guidance’ (2016) appropriate provision for electric vehicle charging will be

    provided within the development to encourage travel by low emission vehicles. It is envisaged that the provision of electric

    vehicle charging point will be secured by condition attached to any planning consent.

    Car Club

    Due to the size of the development, provision of a car club scheme within the development may be viable. We will explore

    the potential for a car club with national operators and seek to secure implementation of this as part of full travel plans

    Travel Information Notice Boards

    Travel Information Notice Boards could be implemented in communal parts of the residential development providing travel

    and community information. The boards could display a map of the proposed development and surrounding area and local

    bus information including timetables and location plans for bus stops. The board could also include information about

    cycle routes, walking information and the car share database.

    The board could also be used to inform residents of any forthcoming travel initiatives or events that are being organised by

    the Travel Plan Co-ordinator (TPC).

    Travel Website

    Details about travelling to the site could be made available online. This information could be maintained and updated by

    the TPC on a quarterly basis.

    Pedestrian and Cycle Promotion

    Residents could be provided with a map of the local facilities which are easily accessible by cycling or walking, together 

    with an indication of suggested routes as part of their welcome packs and on the resident notice board. Regular updates

    could be made available by the TPC via the notice board.

     A Bicycle User Group (BUG) could be established by the TPC to encourage travel by bicycle and assist those less

    confident in cycling to take up this mode of travel.

    Public Transport Promot ion

    Residents could be informed of public transport choices via their welcome packs. A map could be provided which would

    illustrate bus stop locations in relation to the site. The recommended shortest safe pedestrian route, as well as average

    walking times to the bus stops could also feature.

    Residents could also be provided with a summary of the bus services operating from nearby bus stops. Details of bus

    routes servicing key destinations including rail/bus interchanges, facilities, and key centres could be provided. Bus

    Welcome Packs for New Staff 

    This TP could be promoted to new staff through an introductory ‘Welcome Pack’ that would be given to all new members

    of staff as they start on site. It is anticipated that the employment zones proposed on the site would be occupied by a

    series of tenants. It is envisaged that upon a business moving in the manager of that business would be presented with

    enough welcome packs for the staff of that business. As a minimum the welcome pack could include:

    ·  Public transport timetables and route maps;

    ·  Cycle route maps and BUG details;

    ·  Walking Information; and

    ·  Car share database details.

    The welcome pack could be updated twice a year to ensure that the packs issued remain relevant.

    Travel Information Notice Boards

    Travel Information Notice Boards could be implemented in communal parts of the school providing travel and community

    information. The boards could display a map of the site and surrounding area and local bus information including

    timetables and location plans for bus stops. The board could also include information about cycle routes, walking

    information and the car share database.

    The board could also be used to inform students and teachers of any forthcoming travel initiatives or events that are being

    organised by the TPC.

    ·  Cycle route maps and BUG details;

    ·  Walking Information; and

    ·  Car share database details.

    The welcome pack could be updated twice a year to ensure that the packs issued remain relevant.

    Travel Information Notice Boards

    Travel Information Notice Boards could be implemented in communal parts of the hotel and leisure buildings, providing

    travel and community information for staff and visitors. The boards could display a map of the site and surrounding area

    and local bus information including timetables and location plans for bus stops. The board could also include information

    about cycle routes, walking information and the car share database.

    The boards could also be used to inform staff of any forthcoming travel initiatives or events that are being organised by the

    TPC.

    Travel Website

    Details about travelling to the site could be made available online. This information could be maintained and updated by

    the TPC on a quarterly basis. In addition sustainable travel options could be promoted on the hotel and leisure websites to

    inform visitors before they arrive at the proposed development.

    Pedestrian and Cycle PromotionStaff could be provided with a map of the local facilities which are easily accessible by cycling or walking, together with an

    indication of suggested routes as part of their welcome packs and on the staff notice boards. Regular updates would be

    made available by the TPC via the Travel Information Notice Boards.

     A Bicycle User Group could be established by the TPC to encourage travel by bicycle and assist those less confident in

    cycling to take up this mode of travel.

    Introduction

    It is important to have a strong organisational structure with clearly defined roles in order to deliver a successful TP. Thisincludes identifying key responsibilities, how the TP will be implemented, how the initiatives will be enacted and the

    procedure for monitoring and review. This section outlines how the TP will be managed.

    ManagementThis FTP is an overarching document designed to help the formulation of individual TPs for the site to be secured at

    reserve matters application stage.

    Travel Plan Co-ordinator 

     An overarching TPC will be appointed for the whole of the site. This TPC will act as a figure head for the ongoing

    management and commitment of the TP as well as the TPC for the re-occupation of existing buildings on the site. Details

    of the appointed TPC will be provided to KCC as part of the discharge of a site wide condition. The TPC will be

    responsible for:

    ·  Marketing and publicising of the TP and individual TP’s;

    ·  Acting as the “Public Face” of the TP, the key contact point for residents;

    Not all members of the Travel Plan Working Group will be known until the whole site is occupied. As soon as available, a

    contact list of the nominated people associated with the TP will be drafted and held by the whole development TPC.

    This FTP provides a template for how TP’s will be developed across the whole site. To ensure that travel planning

    measures and initiatives can be effectively implemented and shared across the development a TP Working Group

    structure has been devised. This structure outlines the key roles that will be provided in order to operate the TP across the

    site. Figure 8.1 below shows the suggested Travel Plan Working Group structure.

    Monitoring and Reporting

    Introduction

    Monitoring of this FTP will be required to determine the effectiveness of measures and initiatives. This section of thedocument gives a suggested strategy for implementing, monitoring and reviewing the progress of the FTP with respect to

    the objectives and targets that have been set. The first data collection exercise (a questionnaire to establish up to date

    baseline travel habits) will be undertaken within six months of implementation of the final site wide TP.

    Securing the Plan

    It is envisaged that the FTP will be secured by a site wide travel planning condition as part of the planning consent.

    Individual TP’s for each land use will then be secured through reserved matters applications.

    Implementation

    This FTP looks to establish a sustainable approach to travel provision and the behaviour of those travelling to and from the

    site. This FTP will seek to influence the transport choices made by residents, employees and visitors to and from the site.

    The way this FTP is implemented will determine how successful the measures and initiatives are in influencing this

    behaviour and there are a number of areas which can be targeted to maximise its impact.

    Travel behaviour is determined at a very early point and once people settle in to a particular routine it is difficult to alter. It

    Stone Hill Park Framework Travel Plan

    In addition to travel surveys the SHP TPC will also be responsible for collating information about parking utilisation and

    servicing to inform any parking management strategy and servicing management plan. This will form an integral part of 

    the monitoring process to ensure compliance with any relevant planning conditions.

    The TPC will be responsible for ensuring that each representative of the TP Working Group disseminates their respective

    travel surveys to ensure a good response rate is achieved.

    Following the initial baseline travel survey further travel surveys will be completed on an annual basis every year until

    three years post occupation of the final building to determine how the TP is progressing against the targets established.

    Information gathered through the monitoring process will be recorded for input into the review process. The output from

    the review process will be made available to the key stakeholders, including KCC, free of charge.

    Reporting and Review

    The FTP will be reviewed annually with the first review to be undertaken after one year of the FTP being implemented in

    order to measure its effectiveness. The TPC will be responsible for the review process with the support of the Working

    Group.

     A Monitoring Report will be developed by the TPC summarising the results of the surveys. The report will include the

    current survey results compared against the targets established within this FTP. Should the results of the survey show that

    the targets are not being met the report will include details of measures which are to be implemented in order to help

    improve mode share.

    The review of the FTP will consider residents and staff travel needs arising from new developments in transport provision.

    The TP will be updated as appropriate to account for this.

    KCC uses Jambusters to monitor their TP’s. Jambusters provides an innovative TP management software package which

    includes site audit questionnaires and staff travel surveys designed to monitor and report on the progress of TP’s. The

    use of Jambusters will be discussed as part of the development of this FTP.
