3.2 Trip Generation

Proposed Use –Trip Generation

3.2.1 The redevelopment proposals consist of constructing 1No. 3 bed bungalow with 2No. parking spaces. 3.2.2 In order to calculate the potential trips generated from the proposed single dwelling a robust first principles approach has been taken and, in this regard, the following has been derived; AM Peak - 2 two-way trips PM Peak – 2 two-way trips Daily - 4 two-way trips

3.2.3 In this regard therefore, further analysis into the impact that the proposed development might have on the local highway network is considered to be unnecessary as it represents an increase of less than that of daily variation on the highway network during the sensitive peak hours.

3.3 Car Parking

3.3.1 In accordance with the both Harlow Council and Essex CC parking standards the proposed development proposes 2 parking spaces.

3.3.2 In this regard, the level of parking proposed is acceptable.

Cycle Parking

3.3.3 Cycle parking will be provided either internal to house or external in the garden and will be covered and secure inline with the Essex CC parking standards. 3.3.4 A total of 6No. cycle spaces will be provided using Sheffield cycle standards or similar and are to be secure and covered.

Emergency vehicles 3.3.5 A Fire Tender can access the proposed new dwelling and will be able to reach within 45m of the building in accordance with MfS.

Delivery and Refuse Collection 3.3.6 Deliveries will take place as per the existing dwelling from the kerbside. 3.3.7 Refuse collection will also take place from the kerbside with bins being located within 25m of the public highway for collection on collection day.

Summary 3.3.8 On this basis, and in accordance with ECC parking standards, this development is acceptable on highways and transport grounds.

4. CONCLUSIONS

4.1.1 Based on the data and analysis presented in this report, the following conclusions are drawn:

 The design of the transport provisions within the site accord with Harlow Council and ECC prevailing standards and guidelines;

 The development is to provide 2No. parking spaces;

 Potential Trip generation is very low, and no further analysis is necessary. Furthermore, there will be negligible to no impact in terms of air quality because of the proposed development;

 Refuse collection and delivery and servicing will operate like the adjacent building from the kerb side;

 Emergency vehicles can enter and exit the site.

4.1.2 Based on these conclusions the impact of the development proposals on the surrounding transportation network should be considered beneficial and sustainable, and that no further work is to be carried out. 4.1.3 On this basis, it is recommended that the proposed development be recommended for approval on highway and transportation grounds.
