Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______1.0 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Cannon Consulting Engineers (CCE) has been commissioned by Bloor Homes and Sir George A. Agnew to produce a Framework Residential Travel Plan (FRTP) in support of an Outline application to develop land for residential use on Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk. Figure 1 provides a site location plan.
1.1.2 This Framework has been produced in accordance with current Department for Transport’s (DfT) travel planning guidance and in consultation with Suffolk County Council. It should be noted that as a Framework, this report is intended to outline the approach to and measures that could be employed within the final Travel Plan for the site. This will be produced by the developer and agreed with SCC prior to occupation of the development and then reviewed at agreed intervals thereafter for a 5-year period.
1.1.3 This document is to be submitted and read in conjunction with the Transport Assessment (Ref: CCE/X601/TA-01), also produced by Cannon Consulting Engineers.
1.1.4 The development proposal consists of circa 210 dwellings. The application is for Outline planning consent therefore a completion date for the development is not known at this point in time and will be dependent on market demand.
1.1.5 In accordance with best practice and guidance, the Framework Travel Plan has an objective to reduce the reliance on single occupancy car users, to reduce demand for car parking and to maximise the use of other more sustainable forms of travel such as walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing by future residents of the development.
1.2 Site Location
1.2.1 The Beyton Road site is located to the south of Thurston village centre, approximately 2km to the north of the A14, between Bury St Edmunds (10km to the west) and Stowmarket (15km to the east). Thurston is surrounded by villages such as Beyton, Great Barton (A143) and Pakenham.
1.2.2 At present the site comprises of agricultural land and is bound to the west by Barton Road/New Road, to the north by Beyton Road and to the east and south by Mount Road (East). A Site Location Plan is included in Figure 1.
1.2.3 The roads immediately surrounding the site are known locally by different names. For ease of comparison later in the report, the road names used within the AECOM report prepared on behalf of Suffolk County Council (SCC) have been used. The road names are included on Figure 1 for ease of reference.

Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______1.3 Development Proposals
1.3.1 The site is located to the south of Thurston village centre on the southern side of Beyton Road. The development proposal comprises circa 210 dwellings. The site will be served by two points of access, one from Beyton Road and the second from Mount Road East which borders the southern edge of the site. The development also includes land specifically for the purpose of delivering off-site highway improvements at junctions identified as an issue in historic assessments by the Authorities.
1.3.2 An Illustrative Site Layout is contained in Appendix A.
Site Access
1.3.3 The northern access will form a priority T junction with Beyton Road. This junction will form a raised table as part of a proposed traffic calming strategy along Beyton Road.
1.3.4 The southern access will form a priority T junction with Mount Road (East).
1.3.5 At both access points the visibility splays have been determined by the recorded 85th percentile speed of the road and provided in accordance with DMRB. CCE Drawings X601_PL_ 200 and 200B.
1.4 Internal Site Layout
1.4.1 The indicative site layout is contained in Appendix A. The internal road layout is anticipated to comprise of major and minor access roads with footways and direct frontage access and shared surface driveways with direct frontage access.
1.5 Parking Provision
1.5.1 Car parking spaces will be provided in accordance with Suffolk County Council Guidance for Parking (adopted 2014, second edition 2015). The standards relevant to the site are summarised in the table below.
Property Vehicle Minimum* Cycle Minimum Size 1 bed 1 space per dwelling 1.5 spaces (1 allocated and 1 shared between 2 secure covered spaces 2 units for flexible use); 2 spaces per dwellings per dwelling (satisfied if 2 bed when provided within curtilage (or where garage or secure area is sharing a space between 2 units is not provided within curtilage practical) of dwelling to minimum 3 bed 2 spaces per dwelling dimensions) 4+ bed 3 spaces per dwelling Table 1.1: Suffolk Guidance for Parking (second edition 2015)
4
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______*Standards exclude garages under 6m x 3m (internal dimensions) as a parking space but can include under croft parking and car ports providing as they have no other current or potential use.
1.6 Pedestrian and Cycle Accessibility
1.6.1 The proposed site will be designed to provide the most direct cycle and pedestrian linkages to the local existing road and footway network.
1.6.2 A number of pedestrian connections are proposed on the desire line. There will be pedestrian footways at the northern junction with uncontrolled crossings provided to connect with the existing footway on the northern side of Beyton Road.
1.6.3 Two additional pedestrian connections will be provided onto Beyton Road. The eastern most pedestrian link will connect to Pokeriage Corner with a new uncontrolled pedestrian crossing providing a connection to the existing footway on the northern side of the road. The second pedestrian link will be at the north-western corner of the site onto Beyton Road. Again, an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing will be provided.
1.6.4 It is proposed to provide two new bus stops on Barton Road on the western boundary of the site. Pedestrian connections to the bus stops from the site will be provided.
1.7 Servicing, Refuse and Emergency Vehicle Access
1.7.1 Paragraph 6.8.5 of MfS notes that the design and layout of developments should help secure opportunities for sustainable waste management. Planning Authorities should ensure that for new developments, there is sufficient provision for the appropriate collection of waste without an adverse impact on the street scene.
1.7.2 Further consideration of MfS identifies at paragraph 6.8.9 that the maximum distance that a resident should have to carry their waste is no more than 30m and waste vehicles should be able to get within 25m of a refuse storage point, equating to a maximum distance of approximately 55m from a residential property to an appropriate location that a refuse vehicle can stop within. It should also be noted that whilst the maximum reversing distance of a refuse vehicle is approximately 12m (paragraph 6.8.8), if the road is straight and clear of obstacles or visual obstructions, this distance can be extended.
1.7.3 As this is an outline application the internal configuration will be examined in detail as part of a detailed application, however it is considered that the design and layout will adhere to the guidance set in MfS.
1.7.4 The access points have been designed to accommodate a refuse vehicle. Swept path analysis for an 11.2m refuse vehicle has been undertaken and is included on CCE Drawing X601_216 and 217.

Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______2 Travel Plan Policy and Guidance
2.1 Residential Travel Plan Overview
2.1.1 A Residential Travel Plan (RTP) is a package of measures designed to reduce car use originating from housing by supporting alternative forms of transport and reducing the need to travel in the first instance, while also improving overall access to goods, services and reducing the severance of communities.
2.1.2 RTP’s also provide a key management tool for implementing the transport solutions highlighted within the access and movement strategy of the Transport Assessment. The Transport Assessment demonstrates that there are no capacity issues on the local highway network as a result of the proposed development. The focus of the transport strategy is therefore providing sustainable connections for local journey in particular. It should demonstrate both the ‘hard’ infrastructure measures and the ‘soft’ marketing and management measures necessary to address the transport impacts arising from a new residential development.
2.1.3 It should be recognised that the location of the development, its physical design and proximity to local facilities and services will create all the conditions to make sustainable travel choices a feasible and attractive option for residents.
2.1.4 This Framework Travel Plan has been developed in the context of a number of National and Local Policies. This are reviewed below.
2.2 National Policy
National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019)
2.2.1 The NPPF identified Travel Plans as a key tool to facilitate sustainable travel and requires that:- “All developments that will generate significant amounts of movement should be required to provide a travel plan.”
2.3 National and Local Travel Planning Guidance DfT Good Practice Guidelines: Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process (2009)
2.3.1 This guidance defines a Travel Plan (TP) as “a long-term management strategy for an occupier or site that seeks to deliver sustainable transport objectives through positive action and is articulated in a document that is regularly reviewed.” The document Good Practice Guidelines: Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process sets out actions that can be taken to produce high-quality, robust travel plans.
2.3.2 The Good Practice Guidelines aims to help those involved in producing and implementing travel plans – local authority planners, transport and travel plan officers, developers and consultants – understand the processes involved and good practice steps for achieving successful and sustainable travel plans. Through suggested policies, processes, procedures
6
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______and good practice examples the report highlights how to secure effective travel plans that are successful, sustainable and enforceable.
Making Residential Travel Plans Work: Guidelines for New Development (2005)
2.3.3 This guide was commissioned by the Department for Transport, to bring together emerging principles of good practice and to identify issues that need to be taken into account in developing residential travel plans and securing them through the planning system. The guide is aimed at the practitioners involved in this process, including local authority highways and planning officers, property developers and consultants.
2.3.4 The guide seeks to bridge the gap between existing advice on the physical layout and location of development (e.g. planning and design guidance) and that on managing the resulting travel patterns (e.g. through Local Transport Plans). It is complementary to the generic guide produced in 2002. It draws from the DfT’s research in the 2004 Smarter Choices report.
Personal Travel Plans: A Review of the Effectiveness of Personalised Journey Planning Techniques (2005)
2.3.5 This document is based on a study which was commissioned in February 2001. The aims of the project was to review the effectiveness of Personalised Journey Planning techniques. "Personalised Journey Planning" covers a variety of techniques and approaches that provide individualised analysis and advice to people based on their journey making characteristics, with the aim of achieving modal shift.
2.3.6 The aim of the study was to review and compare the different approaches and techniques and to evaluate where they might be most appropriately used. The study concludes that such techniques are best used in the context of a wider comprehensive travel demand strategy and should be an integral part of any strategy. If they are used as part of a wider strategy to change travel behaviour then it is very likely that the full benefit of the strategy will be felt.
Making Personal Travel Planning Work: Practitioners Guide (2008)
2.3.7 This Practitioners’ Guide is based upon extensive research undertaken as part of the Making Personal Travel Planning Work: Research Report (2007).
2.3.8 The Guide is for practitioners interested in developing a PTP programme in their area. It aims to help practitioners to understand the PTP process in more detail, and to learn, based on evidence, how effective PTP can best be delivered.
7
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______Suffolk County Council Draft Travel Plan Guidance
2.3.9 SCC has provided a draft guidance regarding the components required within the Travel Plan. These include:
• Introduction • Background Information • Baseline Travel Information • Objectives • Targets • Measures • Communication Plan • Monitoring • Role of the Travel Plan Coordinator • Finance Plan
2.3.10 All of the above have been included within this FRTP.
2.4 Summary
2.4.1 In summary, the DfT advises, that all types of travel plans for new developments need to:
• Be site specific – the detailed choice of outcomes and specific measures will be partly determined by the opportunities and constraints offered by the site; • Combine the ‘hard’ measures – of site design, infrastructure and new services – with the ‘soft’ measures of marketing, promotion and awareness raising; • Provide a package of measures that are integrated into the design and occupation of the new site, rather that ‘retrofitted’ after occupation; • Include measures to support walking, cycling and public transport use and facilitate disabled access; • Consider parking provision. A degree of parking restraint is likely to be important to the success of the plan in reducing car use; • Include arrangements for managing the process.
2.4.2 The structure of the RTP has been broadly set out in accordance with the DfT’s ‘Travel Pyramid’ methodology as follows:
• Section 3: Background Information, Baseline Conditions and Accessibility • Section 4: Objectives and Targets • Section 5: Measures and Travel Plan Strategy • Section 6: Monitoring and Review

3.4.3 To further assess the pedestrian facilities in close vicinity of the site, an audit of four routes toward a number of key land uses has been undertaken. The audited routes are as follows:
• Route 1:– Thurston Primary School (CEVC Primary Academy, School Lane IP31 3RY); • Route 2:– Train Station / Pharmacy (Station Hill, IP31 3NS); and • Route 3:– Thurston Community College via Station Hill.
10
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______3.4.4 Details of all four of the routes are shown in Figure 3.
Route 1
3.4.5 The existing footway on Beyton Road is approximately 1.5m in width and currently does not benefit from street lighting.
3.4.6 After approximately 150m to the southeast, pedestrians can connect to the existing footway on the western side of Thedwastre Road. The footway on the western side of Thedwastre Road is approximately 1.5m in width and benefits from intermittent street lighting along its extent.
3.4.7 Approximately 250m to the north of the Beyton Road / Thedwastre Road / Thurston Road crossroads junction, Thedwastre Road forms a narrow bridge across the railway line. At this point the footway is delineated by a white line on the carriageway, with no kerbing present. The traffic over the bridge operates priority working.
3.4.8 The pedestrian route continues north on Sandpit Lane via the existing footway on the western side of the carriageway. An uncontrolled pedestrian crossing, formed as a raised table, across Sandpit Lane is provided a short distance to the north of the Sandpit Lane / School Road junction to facilitate safe pedestrian access to the footway on the northern side of School Road.
3.4.9 Along School Road, the existing footway on the northern side of the carriageway benefits from street lighting and is in excess of 1.5m in width for the majority of its length. Approximately 400m to the east, the footway merges with the footway on the western side of School Lane, which runs in a northeast-southwest alignment as it approaches Thurston Primary School. Here, access to the school can be achieved via a brief crossing of the carriageway.
3.4.10 The route is approximately 1.1km long and therefore can be walked in approximately 14 minutes. The first section of this route can also be utilised to reach the nearby bus stops on Thedwastre Road, at which bus services 384 and 337 can be accessed.
Route 2
3.4.11 The existing footway on Beyton Road is approximately 1.5m in width and currently does not benefit from street lighting.
3.4.12 After approximately 250m to the west of the site, the footway on Beyton Road merges with the footway provided under the railway bridge. Where the footway on the northern side of Beyton Road crosses the existing petrol filling station on the northern side of the carriageway the footway is delineated by a dashed line across the entire frontage of the petrol filling station forecourt.
3.4.13 The footway under the railway bridge is narrow, at approximately 1m in width with a pinch point of 751mm, and does not currently benefit from street lighting. However, after a short distance to the north, the footway merges with that which is provided on the southern side of Station Hill which provides access to the railway station after approximately 85m. The
11
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______footways on Station Hill benefit from street lighting and are well overlooked by properties fronting onto the carriageway.
3.4.14 The route is approximately 480m and therefore can be walked in approximately 3 minutes.
Route 3
3.4.15 The existing pedestrian route to Thurston Community College is the same as the initial section of route 2.
3.4.16 Following the access to Thurston Railway Station, pedestrians would continue east along the footways on either side of Station Hill.
3.4.17 Approximately 200m to the east of the 3-arm mini-roundabout junction of Barton Road with Station Hill and Beyton Road, Station Hill swings to the north and intersects with a cycleway offering an east to west link with Sandpit Lane.
3.4.18 To the north of this point, the footway on the eastern side of the carriageway widens to form a shared use footway/cycleway and continues north toward Thurston Community College. After a further 120m, a pedestrian crossing is provided across Station Hill to facilitate safe crossing of the carriageway for pedestrians.
3.4.19 Continued travel north along the footways on either side of Station Hill provides a route toward the left-right staggered junction of Station Hill with Norton Road after around 200m. Beyond the uncontrolled pedestrian crossing across Station Hill, the footways on either side of the carriageway are of good width and quality, and benefit from street lighting along their extent.
3.4.20 At the left-right staggered junction of Station Hill with Norton Road, the footway on the western side of Station Hill merges with that which is provided on the southern side of Norton Road. Pedestrians can continue their journey along this footway, or use the uncontrolled pedestrian crossing across the bellmouth of the Norton Road arm of the junction to access the footway on the northern side of the carriageway.
3.4.21 The footways on Norton Road benefit from street lighting and are approximately 1.8m in width for the majority of their lengths. To the west, the footway on the northern side of the carriageway affords direct access to Thurston Community College, whilst the footway on the southern side affords access to the Community College via an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing across the carriageway, located approximately 150m to the west of the left-right staggered junction.
3.4.22 The journey is approximately 850m in length, and therefore can be walked in around 11 minutes.
3.4.23 It should be noted that as part of the infrastructure committed to by the five sites, a number of pedestrian and cycle improvements are proposed locally. These are shown on Figure 6.
3.4.24 A new Primary School is proposed as part of the Pigeon development in the north-east of Thurston. The location is shown on Figure 3. The walking route from the site to the proposed 12
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______school will be similar to Route 1 described above, however pedestrians will continue straight along Sandpit Lane as opposed to left along School Road. The walk distance is comparable at 1.2km which equates to a 15 minute walk. As part of the Pigeon Development proposals new footways and pedestrian crossing points will be provided to access the school.
3.4.25 Reference is made to the Department for Transport Local Transport Note 1/04 – Policy, Planning and Designing for Walking and Cycling. This document refers to the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) guidelines for “Providing for Journeys on Foot” which considers suggested acceptable walking distances for various journey purposes such as commuting, walking to school and recreational.

Travel by bus accounts for 6% of trips to Bury St Edmunds (central) and 4% by Train. Train travel also accounted for 11% of trips to Cambridge, 9% to Ipswich and 7% of trips to the ‘Remainder of destinations’ such as London.
3.8 Existing Barriers to Sustainable Travel
3.8.1 The Census data suggests that there a high percentage of residents currently drive to work outside of the village. This suggests that there are limited travel options available for work destinations further afield.
19
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______4.0 Objectives and Targets
4.1 Objectives
4.1.1 This framework outlines a package of measures designed to reduce the number and length of single occupancy car trips likely to be generated by development at the site, while supporting more sustainable forms of travel and reducing the overall need to travel.
4.1.2 Guidance on the use and preparation of residential travel plans is presented in the Department for Transport (DfT) document, ‘Making Residential Travel Plans Work: Good Practice Guidelines’ (September 2005). This includes the following main objectives for a residential travel plan:
• To address residents need for access to a full range of facilities for work, education, health, leisure, recreation and shopping;
• To reduce the traffic generated by the development to a significantly lower level of car trips than would be predicted for the site without the implementation of a travel plan;
• To promote healthy lifestyles and sustainable, vibrant local communities;
• To encourage good urban design principles that open up the permeability of development for walking and cycling linked to the design and access statements;
• To address specific problems identified in the development’s Transport Assessment.
4.1.3 In addition to the above, the following objective has been added to this Travel Plan:
• To raise awareness and encourage use of sustainable transport alternatives; and to reduce single occupancy vehicle use.
4.1.4 Further DfT guidance is presented in the document ‘Good Practice Guidelines: Delivering Travel Plan Through the Planning Process’ (April 2009). It advises that a residential travel plan is required for developments greater than 80 units. The guidance advises that a travel plan is a long-term management strategy for a site that seeks to deliver sustainable transport objectives through action and is articulated in a document that is regularly reviewed.
20
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______4.2 Targets
4.2.1 In accordance with local policy requirements this Framework Residential Travel Plan for the site development has outlined initial mode shift targets based on 2011 Census data.
4.2.2 SCC’s guidelines on Residential Travel Plans recommend modal shift targets should be considered over a 5 year period for single occupancy vehicle trips from new developments. Targets should be realistic and achievable, and will need to reflect the existing mode share of sustainable modes of transport in the site area.
4.2.3 The Travel Plan will primarily target Commuting and Business trips as these generate the largest number of car driver trips. However it is considered that in targeting Commuting and Business trips, the measures provided as part of this FRTP will have a positive influence on other journey purposes.
4.2.4 It suggests that the percentage of people travelling as a single occupancy car driver could be reduced by 10% (10% of 78 = 7.8%. Target reduction therefore from 78% to 70% for resident outbound journeys).
Percentage Mode Share 2011 Census Data

4.5.5 It is considered that a 10% mode shift target from single occupancy car drivers over a 5 year period is realistic. It is considered that a higher percentage of trips could be undertaken as a 21
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______car passenger (through lift sharing), pedestrian, cyclist and by using public transport with the measures set out within this FRTP.
4.5.7 SCC require that at the 100th dwelling occupation a travel survey of the residents living at the site be undertaken to establish mode share patterns and if necessary targets for reducing single occupancy vehicles will be reviewed and revised. An example of a residential travel survey is set out in Appendix C.
4.5.8 The next section of the report outlines the strategy and measures proposed to encourage sustainable mode share of residents at the development.
22
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______5.0 Travel Plan Strategy and Measures
5.1 Introduction
5.1.1 In order to improve on the mode shift away from single occupancy car use anticipated from the development, a number of specific ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ Travel Plan measures will be implemented.
5.2 Development of the Strategy
5.2.1 In accordance with current DfT guidelines, the Travel Plan strategy for the site has been derived with reference to ‘Good Practice Guidelines: Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process (2009,) and the previous ‘Making Residential Travel Plans Work: Guidelines for New Development’ (2005). Both documents encourage the use of ‘The Travel Plan Pyramid’ to ensure that all aspects required in the formulation of a Travel Plan are addressed to encourage sustainable travel modes for a development.
5.2.2 The guidance suggests it can be helpful to view a Travel Plan for a new development as a pyramid of measures and action, which is constructed from the ground up, with each new layer building on the last all set within the context of the outcomes sought. The structure of the Travel Plan pyramid is illustrated below:
Source: The Travel Plan Pyramid - DfT Good Practice Guidelines: Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process (April 2009) 23
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______5.2.3 Using the same order of levels presented in the pyramid, outlined below, the following section sets out in more detail how the Travel Plan strategy for the development will be delivered. An action plan has also be provided in Appendix D which considers the proposed measures for the Residential Travel Plan.
• At Level 1 – the base of the pyramid, the choice of location for development, provides the foundation for good accessibility, by ensuring proximity to existing facilities and services, including schools and public transport.
• At Level 2 – are all the physical aspects of the development that can be expected to influence travel.
• At Level 3 – is the input of a site travel co-ordinator to co-ordinate the ongoing development and management of the plan, including further measures, awareness raising, monitoring and review.
• At Level 4 – are the services and facilities to be delivered as part of the travel plan to help meet transport needs as appropriate.
• At Level 5 – the top of the pyramid is awareness raising, marketing and information. These are measures designed to ensure that people know about the services and facilities provided through the travel plan and to encourage more sustainable travel.
Level 1 – Location
5.2.4 As outlined in Section 3, the location of the site in relation to the existing facilities and services within Thurston is good and already provides future residents and visitors the opportunity to undertake walking, cycling and public transport trips for local journeys. The location of the site is therefore considered to offer a good foundation for good accessibility.
Level 2 – Physical Aspects
Design and On-site Infrastructure
5.2.5 Providing the opportunity for sustainable modes of transport from the site has been an influencing factor in the design of the of the development. The following key measures have been incorporated into the Layout Plan.
• A fully permeable layout through the site for pedestrians and cyclists reflecting desire lines;
• On-site streets and junctions designed to the standards outlined in SCC guidelines and the Department for Transport's Manual for Streets, to limit the dominance of the car;
24
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______• Careful street design to restrict vehicular speeds to 20mph or less with walking and cycling links to existing routes within the neighbouring residential area;
• Off-street car parking provision to accord with Suffolk County Car Parking Guidance;
Off-site Infrastructure
5.2.6 The site is located so as to make maximum use of the existing off site infrastructure. Existing bus stops are located on Barton Road, identified as ‘Thurston Opp Fox and Hounds (stop reference - sufgajdw/sufgajga), approximately 360 metres from the centre of the site and another located 400m northwest along Barton Road opposite the post office.
5.2.7 It is proposed to provide two new bus stops on Barton Road on the western boundary of the site. Pedestrian connections to the bus stops from the site will be provided.
5.2.8 A number of pedestrian connections are proposed on the desire line. There will be pedestrian footways at the northern junction with uncontrolled crossings provided to connect with the existing footway on the northern side of Beyton Road. Two additional pedestrian connections will be provided onto Beyton Road. The eastern most pedestrian link will connect to Pokeriage Corner with a new uncontrolled pedestrian crossing providing a connection to the existing footway on the northern side of the road. The second pedestrian link will be at the north- western corner of the site onto Beyton Road. Again, an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing will be provided.
5.2.9 As part of the local highways assessment, a number of local highways improvements are proposed which are detailed further in the associated Transport Assessment Reference CCE/X601/TA-01. Drawing CCE X601_PL_211_P01 summarises the local highway improvements which include the following:-
• A site access and raised table traffic calming feature on Beyton Road • A site access onto Mount Road East • Improvements to Pokeriage Corner – raised table to slow traffic, uncontrolled pedestrian crossing and visibility improvements by moving the northern stop line out by approximately 1m. Widening of the footway on the north western radii which will be the desire line for residents accessing Thedwastre Road. • Traffic calming on Beyton Road – raised table as per the accepted traffic calming treatment on Mount Road, Bury St Edmunds to reduce traffic speeds. • Beyton Road/Barton Road junction to form a three arm mini roundabout. This improves visibility to the north from Beyton Road and reduces traffic speed on Barton Road. The roundabout will give priority to the Beyton Road traffic that currently has poor visibility and has to give way to traffic from the south. The mini roundabout also allows for changes under the railway bridge. • Realignment of the carriageway under the railway bridge to increase the carriageway width to 1.5m whilst maintaining access under the bridge for large vehicles. The realignment makes the carriageway parallel to the bridge abutments which reduces
25
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______the skewed effect that currently exists. In combination with the mini-roundabout this treatment will reduce the observed vehicle speeds under the bridge and the current centreline infringement by most traffic exiting the bridge when travelling south. The carriageway width is maintained with this improvement. • Minor changes to the Station Hill Road/Barton Road mini roundabout to accord with carriageway realignment and provide capacity improvements. • Major improvement to Fishwick Corner including the realignment of Barton Road to create a staggered junction. A flared northern approach improves capacity and the junction changes improve visibility and reduce the delays to individual vehicles negotiating the junction. • Enhancement of the existing bend warning signs on Mount Road East. It should be noted that the speed on this section of road is being reduced to 40mph as part of the local highway improvements proposed by the five sites and to be delivered by S106 funding. It is suggested this is reduced to 30mph.
Level 3 – Site Travel Co-ordinator
5.2.9 A Travel Plan Co-ordinator (TPC) will be appointed to take responsibility for the development and management of the FRTP and ensure its delivery. It will be the responsibility of the developer to ensure that a TPC is appointed 6 months prior to the first occupation of the site in accordance with Suffolk County Council’s requirements.
5.2.10 The TPC will undertake the following role:
• Give a ‘human face’ to the RTP by explaining its purpose and the opportunities on offer. This will include offering personalised journey planning advice;
• Help train people selling or letting the residential units in respect of the RTP so that it is marketed as an integral part of the development;
• Ensuring the process for the ongoing management of the plan are set up and running effectively;
• Helping establish and promote individual RTP measures;
• Liaising with public transport operators and other service providers such as local bike shops; and
• Overseeing the monitoring and reporting of the RTP including liaising with Suffolk County Council where appropriate.
5.2.10 Administration of the FRTP involves the maintenance of necessary systems, databases, paperwork, consultation and promotion. These duties would be permanent for the duration of the plan. Regular updating of the RTP document will form part of the responsibilities of the
26
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______TPC. The Travel Plan Coordinator will report to the Travel Plan officers at SCC. Meetings with SCC to discuss the progress and development of the Travel Plan will be set up as and when required. The first meeting will take place once the residential survey is completed and reviewed.
5.2.11 The hours undertaken by the Travel plan Coordinator will vary. During the marketing of the site and in the initial stages of occupation they will be working as part of the marketing team distributing information, promoting sustainable modes of transport and residents inductions. During the survey period, following the 100th dwelling occupation of the site, the TPC will be working almost full time organising and reporting on the survey. Once The Travel Plan is up and running and the initial survey complete they will commit as much as time as required to undertake their tasks and this will be funded by the developer. It is estimated that this will involve being available for approximately 3 hours a week, averaging a total of 2 days over the period of a month.
Developer Contact Details:
TBC – Outline Permission sought at this stage only. Contact at Bloor Homes will be provided at Reserve Matters.
Travel Plan Coordinator Details:
TBC – Outline Permission sought at this stage only.
Level 4 – Services and Facilities
5.2.12 A number of key services and facilities to compliment the location and physical design of the development will also be implemented to further encourage the use of sustainable transport modes.
5.2.13 Initiatives and measures to be implemented are listed in Table 5.1. These are considered to be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Time Bound) and they will be implemented from the outset. This provides the maximum opportunity to influence the travel behaviour of future residents from first occupation.

21. TPC to promote National Lift share week.
Table 5.1 Measure to be implemented
Level 5 – Marketing, Promotion and communication
5.2.14 It is recognised that a marketing and communication strategy is key to the success of the RTP. The marketing strategy will aim to raise awareness of the key services and facilities implemented as part of the RTP and distribute travel information amongst residents and visitors.
5.2.15 It is considered key to provide travel information to potential residents. Therefore information on sustainable modes of transport from the development will be provided at the marketing and selling stage for the development.
5.2.16 Prior to purchase of a dwelling each resident will visit a marketing web site or an on-site marketing suite. The website will contain travel information and staff at the marketing suite
30
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______will be trained so that they understand the purpose and workings of the RTP and the key services and facilities proposed to encourage the use of non-car modes.
5.2.17 Marketing will also include a dedicated website, social media, newsletters and community engagement events to promote the Travel Plan.
Resident Induction
5.2.18 Every new resident and employee in the development will be made aware of the RTP with contact made from the TPC within the first 2 months of occupation. The TPC will explain the travel opportunities available to and from the development and the key services and facilities provided as part of the RTP in detail.
5.2.19 Each resident and employee will be provided with a ‘Travel Information Pack’ (TIP) upon occupation. The pack will contain a high quality map of the area, showing cycling, walking and public transport routes, plus up-to date timetables for local bus services. A key role of the TIP will also be to raise awareness of sustainable travel initiatives being implemented through the RTP, i.e. the SuffolkCarShare.com database and walk to work week. It will also provide information regarding online shopping and supermarket home delivery. An example of a Travel Information Pack is shown in Insert 5.1 below:
31

Insert 5.1: Example Travel Plan Information Pack and Questionnaire
5.2.20 The welcome pack will also provide the contact details of the TPC should any residents have any transport related matters or questions. It will also provide details of the Travel Plan Website.
5.3 Securing the RTP and Funding
5.3.1 All measures implemented prior to the development being occupied will be funded by the developer, including the appointment of a TPC and the production of marketing material. The developer will also fund the initial baseline travel survey undertaken upon the 100th dwelling occupation of the development and subsequent surveys.
5.3.2 A finance plan spanning five years will set out which measures will be financed each year. This will be completed following discussion regarding the Section 106 contributions relating to the development. It is acknowledged that SCC required a fee of £1,000 a year for annual monitoring and support. An example of a Travel Plan Cost calculation is contained in Appendix E. Please note this is an example only and the final costs will be for discussion with SCC.
32
Land south of Beyton Road, Thurston, Suffolk Framework Residential Travel Plan ______6.0 Monitoring and Review
6.1 Monitoring
6.1.1 A programme of monitoring and review will be implemented to generate information by which the success of the RTP will be evaluated. On-going monitoring and reporting is required to ensure the continual effectiveness of the RTP. This will help establish whether the agreed objectives and targets are being achieved. Monitoring and review will be the responsibility of the TPC.
6.1.2 The TPC will arrange the travel survey to be undertaken once the trigger point of the occupation of the 100th dwelling is reached. The surveys will be carried out on an annual basis. All measures will be implemented prior to occupation of the site and each resident will be provided with a Travel Information Pack upon occupation of each properly.
6.1.3 The surveys will be agreed with SCC prior to be undertaken. The surveys are likely to comprise of the following data collection:
• Automatic Traffic Count (ATC) at the site accesses to survey the site for a one week period during a neutral month to ensure that the full vehicular impact of the development is monitored. • Questionnaire surveys of residents within the development to identify their workplace destination, the mode share, to establish the reasons for car use and barriers to switching to more sustainable modes of travel; • The surveys will be available in paper and electronic format
6.2 Review
6.2.1 The TPC will report the survey results to SCC within one month of each survey. The TPC and Officers will then review the results and, if considered appropriate, revise the targets accordingly.
6.3 Enforcement
6.3.1 This Framework Residential Travel Plan forms part of the planning application documentation and therefore is an integral part of any consent that may be granted. The RTP will be secured as part of the Section 106 Agreement accompanying any planning permission and the obligations within it will be enforced through the provisions within it.
6.3.2 Specific covenants on the Developer will be included in the S106 Agreement, and the developer will be obliged to implement the provisions of the RTP, including the appointment of the role of a Travel Plan Co-ordinator for the duration of the plan (5 years). The duties of the TPC during this period will include annual RTP reports and revisions to the RTP, so that future targets are achieved.
33
