Introduction This Travel Plan has been produced for Land east of Sleaford Road (B1188) and west of Dunston Road, Metheringham. Paragraph 111 of the February 2019 ‘National Planning Policy Framework’ [NPPF] (Section 9 – Promoting Sustainable Transport) states that: ‘All developments which generate significant amounts of movement should be required to provide a Travel Plan, and the application should be supported by a transport statement or transport assessment so that the likely impacts of the proposal can be assessed’. Additionally, Paragraph 003 of the Planning Practice Guidance document ‘Overarching principles on Travel Plans, Transport Assessments and Statements’ (March 2014) advises that Travel Plans should be created to help achieve modal shift to more sustainable modes of travel. These should provide: “…long-term management strategies for integrating proposals for sustainable travel into the planning process. They are based on evidence of the anticipated transport impacts of development and set measures to promote and encourage sustainable travel (such as promoting walking and cycling). They should not, however, be used as an excuse for unfairly penalising drivers and cutting provision for cars in a way that is unsustainable and could have negative impacts on the surrounding streets” A Travel Plan is a site-specific management strategy for attempting to manage the number and type of trips generated by a site in a sustainable way and to deliver sustainable transport objectives. It is a living document that sets out ways to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicle trips generated by a site. It includes aims, targets, measures and incentives to encourage the use of sustainable travel modes. The Travel Plan process includes monitoring, review, and refinement as travel survey data is collected and the trends in travel patterns are determined. The initiatives in this report may be amended or altered over time. The overall objective of the travel planning process is to minimise the number of single-occupancy vehicle trips generated by residents and visitors travelling to and from the development site by encouraging the use of modes other than private car (e.g. walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing). 1.1. The Proposed Development The Application was granted full planning permission from North Kesteven District Council on 17 February 2021 for the following operations: “Erection of 329 dwellings, formulation of new access points from Sleaford Road and Dunston Road, provision of new internal access roads, and provision of new sustainable drainage infrastructure”. The Site is included as a Residential Allocation listed in Policy LP52 of the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan (CLLP) and identified on CLLP Policies Map under site reference
