1 Introduction

1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 AECOM was commissioned by the Society of Merchant Venturers (SoMV) in March 2016 to provide transport planning advice and to inform an outline planning application for a proposed 65 dwelling residential development on land off Quakers Walk, Devizes. 1.1.2 This report forms an Outline Residential Travel Plan (TP) which accompanies the planning application for the proposals. This TP should be read in conjunction with the Transport Assessment (TA) and other documentation that forms the planning application. 1.1.3 The site is located on the north eastern edge of the built up area of Devizes some 800m north east of the of the town centre as shown in Figure 1.1. 1.1.4 The outline proposals are for a residential development of up to 65 dwellings, associated parking and an internal road network. Access to the development will be from Quakers Road, a residential access road which serves the residential development known as Quakers Walk to the north. Quakers Road meets London Road to the east at a priority junction. Separate pedestrian and cycle accesses will be provided in to the site. 1.1.5 This document is an outline TP as the development has yet to be built and occupied, and accordingly, the demographics of the future residents are unknown. A full Travel Plan will be prepared for agreement with Council (WC) following occupation of the development. 1.1.6 The document has been produced taking in to consideration both overarching national and more local planning policy including the sustainable requirements set out in the National Planning Policy Framework and in WC’s ‘Develop a Residential Travel Plan’ guide. 1.2 Why Develop and Implement a TP? 1.2.1 A ‘TP’ is a generic term used to encompass initiatives to encourage the use of alternative transport modes to the car and to manage car use in order to reduce the environmental impacts of a development. 1.2.2 A TP provides a strategy to influence travel behaviour by encouraging more sustainable travel for all users accessing the site. 1.3 Benefits of TPs 1.3.1 The key benefits of a residential TP can include: Increased Travel Choice 1.3.2 TPs can increase personal travel choices and offer financial savings to residents by promoting and improving alternative travel options. Health Benefits 1.3.3 Many alternative forms of travel involve an element of physical activity that can help improve the health and mental wellbeing of residents. Public / Environmental Responsibility 1.3.4 A decrease in the number of vehicle movements results in cleaner air and reduces the potential for congestion both in the development and on the local highway network. The site also becomes more attractive for pedestrians and cyclists. Positive Publicity 1.3.5 TPs can generate positive publicity and improve the environmental image of an organisation, an area or a development. It demonstrates to the residents living in surrounding areas that the organisation/developer is committed to limiting single occupancy car trips and promoting more sustainable travel options.

1.4 TP Structure 1.4.1 The TP is structured as follows: x Chapter 2 describes the site location, local pedestrian and cycle access routes, access to local facilities and public transport links; x Chapter 3 sets out the development proposals; x Chapter 4 outlines the targets and objectives of this TP; x Chapter 5 identifies the role and responsibilities of the Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC); x Chapter 6 outlines the sustainable travel measures to be implemented; x Chapter 7 sets out initial monitoring and review strategy for the TP including potential remedial strategies; and x Chapter 8 provides details of useful contacts relevant to this TP.

1.5 Commitment to the TP 1.5.1 Ensuring full commitment to the TP is key to ensuring that the measures and aspirations set out in the document are fully implemented and achieved. As such the following key stakeholders will sign the final TP to show full agreement to its objectives. x Managing Director of the developer/housebuilder; x The Site Manager; x The developer’s Travel Plan Coordinator; and x , Transportation and Development Manager.

1.5.2 Those named above will sign the final TP document as at this time the details of the developer, site manager and Travel Plan Coordinator are not known. AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 3

2 Site Background

2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 This section describes the site location, local pedestrian and cycle routes, access to local facilities and public transport links. 2.1.2 A site visit was undertaken on 20th April 2016 to help inform this analysis and to provide an up to date understanding of the site. 2.2 Site Location 2.2.1 The site location is shown at Figure 1.1. It comprises an agricultural field to the south of Quakers Road. 2.2.2 The Site is situated some 800m north east of Devizes Town Centre and is bounded by a residential development and school to the north, the Headquarters and the Devizes Sports Club to the east, allotments to the south and a Public Right of Way (PRoW) named Quakers Walk to the west. 2.2.3 The adjacent parcel of residential development to the north of the site was constructed on former agricultural land and consists of 248 market and affordable dwellings. The Trinity primary school which partially bounds the site to the north opened in June 2012 and provides six classes, with a seventh planned to be added in September 2016. It has been built to accommodate 210 pupils, with an enrolment of 170 pupils as of September 2015. The school was converted to Academy status in July 2015. 2.2.4 The Devizes sports club is located to the east of the proposed development site and primarily serves the town’s local rugby, cricket and tennis clubs. 2.2.5 The A361 London Road via Quakers Road provides a link from the site to the surrounding road network. London Road continues south to Devizes Town Centre via road including but not exclusively, Commercial Road, Sidmouth Street, Monday Market Street and Maryport Street. To the north London Road continues past the residential cul-de-sac of Park and out of Devizes through the residential area of Northfields towards Swindon some 31km to the north. 2.3 Existing Facilities for Pedestrians 2.3.1 The Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) “Guidance for Providing for Journeys on Foot” identifies that 2km is the preferred maximum distance that people will walk for commuting or education purposes. These trip purposes constitute a significant volume of peak hour trips from residential developments. The guidance also indicates that 800m is the preferred maximum walking distance to a town centre, and 1200m is the preferred maximum walking distance to other destinations. 2.3.2 The site is located some 800m from Devizes Town Centre, which is an appropriate walking distance as set out in CIHT guidance. 2.3.3 The principal pedestrian links to the development will be along London Road to the north and south; and across the Park Bridge at the southern end of Quakers Walk. Pedestrian Route via London Road 2.3.4 The main access to the proposed residential development will be from the north-eastern corner of the site and will tie into the existing ‘Quakers Walk’ estate road. Quakers Road provides a 3.5m shared footway / cycleway on both sides of the road, and the roads internal to the existing residential estate provide 2.0 metre wide footways. Dropped kerbs and tactile paving are provided at side road junctions. AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 4

2.3.5 The footway on the western side of London Road has been diverted in the vicinity of the recently constructed Quakers Road junction with London Road and crosses the site access road at an uncontrolled dropped kerb crossing with tactile paving and a pedestrian refuge island before continuing back to join the western edge of the London Road carriageway. 2.3.6 The realigned footways at the site access junction tie into the existing footways on London Road. To the north of the site access junction, the footway links to the residential cul-de-sac. 2.3.7 A PUFFIN signalised pedestrian crossing is provided on London Road between the Quakers Walk site access junction and Roundway Park junction. This provides a continuous pedestrian route between the site and the southbound bus stops on the eastern side of London Road. 2.3.8 To the south of the Quakers Road junction, London Road has footways along both sides and benefits from street lighting. Whilst there are no controlled crossing facilities across London Road in the immediate vicinity to the south, it is unlikely that future residents will need to cross London Road as they can reach the majority of town centre facilities by staying on the western side. 2.3.9 Pedestrians walking along London Road to the south of the site access junction will need to cross a few side road junctions, most notably the access roads into the Police HQ. These are equipped with dropped kerb crossings with tactile paving and therefore do not form a barrier to pedestrian movement. 2.3.10 The route between the site and Devizes Town Centre is relatively flat, although there is a short incline where London Road crosses the Avon and Kennet Canal some 400 metres to the south of the site access. Uncontrolled dropped kerb crossings with tactile paving are provided across all arms of the mini-roundabout junction between London Road and Estcourt Road, with refuge islands also provided on the main road arms. 2.3.11 Footways continue along both sides of Estcourt Road towards the town centre and provide access to the closest doctor’s and dentist’s surgeries. Uncontrolled dropped kerb crossings are provided across side road junctions, which is appropriate to accommodate pedestrian movement. At its western end, the footway on the northern side of Estcourt Road ties into the footway on the eastern side of Southbroom Road. A controlled PELICAN pedestrian crossing is provided to allow pedestrians to safely cross to the retail facilities on Sidmouth Street, or the Sainsbury’s supermarket on the western side of Southbroom Road to the north. 2.3.12 Beyond this point, footways are typically provided on both sides of the road throughout the Devizes Town Centre area. 2.3.13 In conclusion, this route between the proposed site and the town centre is suitable for all pedestrians, including wheelchair / mobility scooter / pushchair users. It will be an attractive option, even during non-daylight hours due to the presence of lighting and natural surveillance. Pedestrian Route via Quakers Walk 2.3.14 A shared footpath/cycleway connection will be provided between the proposed development and the Quakers Walk PRoW at the southwest corner of the site. 2.3.15 Quakers Walk provides a connection to the town centre to the south and is typically between three to four metres wide with a surface in a generally good condition although it can experience standing water in winter. Whilst the surface is not laid to tarmac, paving stones or other formal footway material, the gravel surface is well bedded down. However, Quakers Walk is not lit and does not benefit from any natural surveillance, beyond other users of the route due to its rural nature. The rural nature of Quakers Walk is considered to be a benefit and it is an attractive and well-used leisure route as well as providing direct connection to the Town Centre. 2.3.16 In winter months, it is anticipated that the footway inside the site boundary will provide an alternative for a section of Quakers Walk for pedestrians, extending the full length of the site before connecting to Quakers Walk at the southern site boundary. 2.3.17 New Park Road is located to the south of Quakers Walk and crosses Park Bridge, which passes over the . Whilst there are no pedestrian facilities over Park Bridge, or between it and the southern end of New Park AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 5

Capabilities on project: Transport

Road, this is a quiet cul-de-sac with little traffic. The presence of parked vehicles on either side of the road contributes to low vehicle speeds, as seen in Photograph 1. Photograph 1 – Parked vehicles on Park Bridge

2.3.18 A footway is located on the western side of New Park Road to the south of the bridge. This footway crosses an access to Devizes Community Hospital. The junction is provided as a footway crossover, which ensures priority for pedestrians over vehicles. 2.3.19 At its southern end, New Park Road forms the northern arm of a four-arm double mini-roundabout junction with Commercial Road. New Park Road continues to the southwest, with footways provided on both sides, which continue onto the A342 New Park Street at its southern end. 2.3.20 To the southeast of the double mini-roundabout junction, Commercial Road connects with the A342 at its roundabout junction with the Sainsbury’s supermarket. Footways are provided on both sides of Commercial Road. 2.3.21 In conclusion, this is a quiet and attractive route between the proposed site and the town centre. 2.4 Existing Facilities for Cyclists 2.4.1 Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) 13 identifies the potential for cycling to replace short car trips, particularly those less than 5km in distance. Whilst this document has been superseded in planning terms, this advice is still considered relevant in movement and accessibility terms. 5km equates to approximately a 20 minute journey by bicycle. 2.4.2 Devizes Town Centre is located less than one kilometre from the proposed site, and as such is within appropriate walking and cycling distance based on CIHT and PPG13 guidance. 2.4.3 There are a number of cycle links connecting the site with Devizes Town Centre and the Kennet and Avon Canal. The Devizes Cycle Network is well linked to the development, providing excellent access to the site for cyclists. The principle cycle links to the site will be along London Road to the north and south; and across the Park Bridge at the southern end of Quakers Walk. Cycle Route via London Road 2.4.4 Quakers Road benefits from 3.5 metre wide shared footway/cycleway on both sides between London Road and the edge of the residential development. The roads within the residential development are lightly trafficked with low vehicle speeds and are therefore conducive to on-street cycling. 2.4.5 An on-road cycleway is provided on both sides of London Road in the vicinity of the site. Some 500 metres to the north, the on-road cycleway extends to the roundabout junction between London Road and Windsor Drive. It therefore provides a link between the adjacent residential site and Roundway Business Park. To the south, the on-road cycleway extends to the Devizes Sports Club access, around 400 metres from Quakers Road. AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 6

2.4.6 Whilst there are no further formal cycleway facilities between the Devizes Sports Club access and Devizes Town Centre, the route is generally flat. The change in level where London Road crosses the Avon and Kennet Canal is not considered to be a constraint for cyclists. Cycle Route via Quakers Walk 2.4.7 Cyclists will be able to use the footway/cycleway connection between the proposed development and the Quakers Walk PRoW. Quakers Walk runs to the west of the site, forms part of the Devizes cycle network and is approximately three to four metres wide with a surface in a generally good condition for cyclists, although there can be standing water in winter months. 2.4.8 Quakers Walk could either be used for recreational cycling, or as a connection to the town centre to the south. Whilst gated at its southern end, cyclists will only need to dismount, or slow down, in order to pass through the pedestrian access at the side of the main gate. 2.4.9 The roads to the south of Quakers Walk are quiet and therefore attractive cycle routes. 2.4.10 The Kennet and Avon cycle route runs through Devizes on route between Bristol and Reading. This forms Route 4 of the National Cycle Network. In the vicinity of the site, this traffic free route follows the towing path that runs alongside the Kennet and Avon Canal, which runs approximately parallel to A361 London Road. 2.4.11 The Kennet and Avon cycle route runs through Devizes on route between Bristol and Reading. This forms Route 4 of the National Cycle Network. In the vicinity of the site, this traffic free route follows the towing path that runs alongside the Kennet and Avon Canal, which runs approximately parallel to A361 London Road. 2.5 Accessibility to Local Amenities 2.5.1 Based on CIHT and the superseded but still relevant PPG13 guidance the site is located within appropriate walking and cycling distances of local facilities. 2.5.2 The Trinity School, located directly to the north, is a purpose built primary school which opened in June 2012 and is due to increase pupil capacity to seven classes in September 2016. AECOM understands that the school has outline planning permission to build extensions as it grows. , a secondary comprehensive, is less than 1km from the site. located near to Devizes School provides further education opportunities, and there is a local library available within the town. Access to Devizes School and Wiltshire College is via London Road. 2.5.3 There are various medical facilities within Devizes, with three doctor’s surgeries, five dentist’s surgeries, a community hospital and an NHS treatment centre. The community hospital departments include out-patients, x-ray, physiotherapy, maternity antenatal and podiatry/chiropody. Access to these can either be via London Road or Quakers Walk and New Park Road, dependent on surgery and preference. Footways are provided along both sides of Estcourt Road towards the town centre, providing access to the closest doctor’s and dentist’s surgeries. Dropped kerb crossings are provided across side road junctions. 2.5.4 Recreational facilities in Devizes are very good; an existing sports club is located directly to the east of the proposed development site, comprising seven tennis courts, one cricket pitch and a rugby pitch. Access to the club is from London Road, located to the south of the Police HQ and immediately north of the bridge over the Kennet and Avon Canal. A leisure centre with facilities including a fully equipped gym, dance studios, sports hall, and 25m swimming pool are located near to Devizes Green. Access to these facilities would be via London Road and Church Walk. Other social amenities are available within Devizes, including various pubs and restaurants, coffee shops, a cinema, and a Conservative Club.

2.5.5 Various shopping facilities are available within Devizes, with shops primarily along Sidmouth Street and High Street, both of which can be accessed via either London Road or Quakers Walk and New Park Road. Sainsbury’s and Morrisons supermarkets are both less than 1.5km walk from the site. 2.5.6 Employment opportunities are available in Devizes including but not exclusively those at the Roundway Business Park to the north east of the site. 2.5.7 The distance of select facilities from the site is set out in the Table 2.1, including whether they are within recommended walking and cycling distance as outlined in the superseded but still relevant PPG13.

2.6 Existing Public Transport Provision Bus Services 2.6.1 The CIHT Guidance “Providing for Public Transport in Developments” defines 400m as the recommended maximum distance to walk to a bus stop. Table 2.2 shows the distance to local bus stops. Table 2.2 Distance to local bus stops and services operating from them

Bus Stop Approximate Distance Services Operating from Site

Devizes, nr Police HQ (London Road northbound) 500m 49, X49

Devizes, nr Police HQ (London Road southbound) 530m 49, X49

Keepers Road northbound <50m 1C

2.6.2 Although the London Road bus stops are outside the CIHT maximum distance to walk to a bus stop, the additional 100m only equates to around 60 seconds of additional walk time. In addition to this, there is a bus stop very close to the site on Keepers Road. Given this the bus stop provision is considered reasonable to serve the proposed new development. 2.6.3 North and south bound bus stops are located on London Road immediately to the north of the Quakers Road junction. Both provide a passenger shelter with bench, timetables and a raised kerb. A number of services operate from these stops on London Road. A summary of the services including typical daytime frequencies is provided in Table 2.3 2.6.4 A northbound bus stop is provided on Keepers Road immediately to the north of the proposed site. Facilities at the stop include a flag, timetable and raised kerbs. 2.6.5 Table 2.3 shows the approximate daytime frequency of bus services. Table 2.3 Bus services serving the site

Service Route Daytime Weekday Bus Stop Served Frequency 49 Swindon – Devizes - Trowbridge 60mins London Road

Devizes Mkt Place - Nursteed - Marina 1C 30mins Keepers Road Meadows - Devizes Mkt Place 1

Devizes – London Road – Bishops Cannings – X49 School Service London Road Trowbridge

2.6.6 The timetabled services on London Road and Keepers Road typically provide a total of some six two-way services per hour during the day Monday to Friday. Reduced services operate over the weekend. 2.6.7 Service 49 and 1C provide access to Devizes town centre, taking less than 10 minutes from the bus stops on London Road. 2.6.8 Future residents will also have the option of using Connect2Wiltshire services which operate on London Road. These services, which must be booked in advance, provide door to door transport for anyone living, working and visiting the areas served. Services operate Monday to Saturday in the Devizes area and bookings can be made as little as 20 minutes before the bus is scheduled to leave its starting point. Alternatively, the Connect2Wiltshire Taxi Bus provides AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 9

Capabilities on project: Transport

bookable journeys from Roundway Gardens to Devizes on an approximately hourly basis during the daytime, Monday to Friday. All Connect2Wiltshire services are wheelchair accessible. In addition, each bus can carry up to two bicycles. 2.6.9 In summary, bus services are available to Swindon, Trowbridge and Marlborough as well as to neighbouring towns and villages. The proposed site therefore benefits from relatively frequent bus services to a number of destinations which provide employment, retail and leisure facilities. This will encourage those living at the proposed development to use public transport as an alternative to the car.

Rail Services 2.6.10 The nearest railway station is Melksham, 15km away from the site by road. Direct services are provided to Swindon and Westbury, which operate at a frequency of around two hours. From Swindon and Westbury there are regular services to destinations including London, Bristol and Reading. 2.7 Summary 2.7.1 The site is well located for access to Devizes Town Centre some 800m to the south via London Road, and to the wider road network via the A361 to the north and west. 2.7.1 London Road is the principle vehicle route to Devizes Town Centre and is subject to a 30mph speed limit in the vicinity of the site. Direct frontage access to a number of residential properties and employment uses is available. 2.7.2 Footways are provided on both sides of London Road adjacent to the site. The footways provide direct pedestrian links to employment uses to the north and to Devizes Town Centre to the south. An additional off-road route is provided to the town centre via Quakers Walk to the west of the site. Footways are typically available on both sides of roads within Devizes Town Centre. The existing pedestrian infrastructure provides a good walking environment between the site and existing local facilities including schools, retail, employment and leisure uses. 2.7.3 The pedestrian accessibility of the site complies with CIHT Guidance, with Devizes Town Centre retail, education, and employment land uses falling within the recommended 2km set out in the guidance. 2.7.4 The whole of Devizes is within a 5km cycling distance of the site making cycling a viable alternative to the car to access multiple land uses including employment, leisure, retail, education as well as emergency health facilities. An off-road cycle route is also provided adjacent to the Kennet and Avon Canal which will further encourage cycle trips to and from the site. 2.7.5 The site is adequately served in terms of public transport as two main bus services operate close to the site on London Road and Keepers Road. These services provide local links to Devizes Town Centre to the south and employment land uses to the north as well as longer distance links to Swindon and Trowbridge.

3 Development Proposals

3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 This section of the report sets out details of the proposals including the quantum of development, parking, layout and access. 3.2 Land Uses 3.2.1 The outline planning application is for a residential development of up to 65 residential dwellings on land off Quakers Road, Devizes. In addition open space and associated play facilities will be provided. 3.2.2 The site comprises of one field currently managed for agriculture. 3.2.3 The site will form a continuation of an existing residential development which abuts the northern boundary of the site. 3.3 Site Access 3.3.1 Access to the site is via Quakers Road which runs through the recently built ‘Quakers Walk’ residential development abutting the northern boundary of the site. The proposed site access road will be 5.5m wide, with 2.0m footways on both sides. 3.3.2 Development traffic will utilise Quakers Road which meets the A361 London Road at a priority junction to the east of the site. This is consistent with the permitted development. 3.3.3 The indicative site masterplan identifies the potential for a “gated emergency access” to the Sports Club to the east of the site. 3.3.4 Within Section 2 it is demonstrated that there is good pedestrian and cycle access to the site, with good access to local amenities. 3.4 Site Layout 3.4.1 A layout based on priority for pedestrians and cyclists and providing a strong sense of place will be provided. This is consistent with the design principles set out in the Manual for Streets (MfS) and MfS2 documents. The indicative masterplan for the development is shown at Appendix B. 3.4.2 There will be one main distributor road running through the development to provide access to all dwellings. This will form a cul-de-sac to ensure that the road only caters for development traffic. 3.4.3 Indicative secondary movements through the site will be on shared surface streets, with pedestrian/cycle links between streets increasing permeability and discouraging short trips by car. 3.4.4 Active modes of travel are encouraged by the site layout. Quakers Walk, a PRoW which runs to the west of the site, provides pedestrian and cycle connections to Roundway Park to the north and Devizes Town Centre, via Park Bridge to the south, and can be accessed from the south west corner of the site. Internally, pedestrian/cycle links will be of a high quality. 3.4.5 Outdoor space will be conducive to pedestrians with high quality design features, including a square and LEAP/LAP play areas.

3.5 Car Parking 3.5.1 Car parking will be provided in line with current parking standards at the time of the reserved matters application. 3.5.2 Current car parking guidance for developments in Wiltshire is set out in the ‘Car Parking Strategy’ adopted in 2011 as part of LTP3. The Strategy indicates that for a residential development the following minimum number of spaces per dwelling should be provided: x 1 bedroom dwelling = 1 space (min); x 2 – 3 bedroom dwelling = 2 space (min); x 4 + bedroom dwelling = 3 space (min); and x Visitor parking = 0.2 spaces per dwelling (unallocated)

3.6 Cycle Parking 3.6.1 Cycle parking will be provided in line with current standards at the time of the reserved matters application. 3.7 Summary 3.7.1 The development will be a continuation to an existing residential development which abuts the northern boundary of the site, and will provide up to 65 dwellings. 3.7.2 Vehicle access to the site will be from Quakers Road which runs from the priority junction access off London Road. This is consistent with the permitted development. There will be one road through the site which forms a cul-de-sac. 3.7.3 The development will provide an attractive, legible and permeable environment for pedestrians and cyclists. 3.7.4 Parking for cars and cyclists will be provided in line with current standards at the time of the reserved matters application.

4 Objectives and Targets

4.1 Introduction 4.1.1 This section provides a summary of the objectives and targets of this TP. 4.2 Objectives 4.2.1 The main objectives of the TP are: x To ultimately reduce single occupancy car usage for the development site through encouraging more sustainable travel modes to be used; x Increase residents’ awareness of the advantages and potential for travel by more environmentally friendly modes of transport; and x Set in place the foundations and culture for a sustainable transport policy for the development, which will develop and grow with time to help reduce transport’s impact on the environment. 4.3 Targets 4.3.1 At this stage detailed targets cannot be confirmed as a modal split for the site cannot be established until the development is occupied. 4.3.2 Targets will be set post occupation; these will be based on the results of the initial residential travel survey. These results are likely to be similar to the existing mode split of those living in the local area. 4.3.3 To establish a likely modal split, 2011 journey to work Census data has been used to assess the existing method of travel for those living in the Roundway ward in which the site is situated. The modal split obtained is shown in Table 4.1. Table 4.1: Modal Split from 2011 Census Data for Roundway Ward Mode Percentage

Train 1.1%

Bus 1.1%

Taxi 0.2%

Car Driver 73.3%

Car Passenger 4.8%

Motorcycle 1.0%

Bicycle 4.2%

Foot 14.0%

Other 0.3%

Total 100% AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 13

Capabilities on project: Transport

4.3.4 Those working ‘mainly at or from home’ have been removed from the analysis to ensure that an accurate modal split of those actually travelling to work is calculated. 4.3.5 The data indicates that the majority of people living in the ward drive to work. However 14% walk to work which indicates that the area around the site provides a number of employment opportunities. 4.3.6 Targets will be set following travel surveys once the development is occupied as outlined in Chapter 7. 4.3.7 The results of the first surveys will be assessed and targets set accordingly by the TPC in liaison with WC. The feedback provided in the survey responses will also be reviewed and actions formed accordingly. 4.3.8 The key target for the full TP will be to reduce single occupancy car trips by promoting the more sustainable alternative travel options available. As an indication, it is likely that targets will include a 10% reduction in single occupancy car use. 4.3.9 Based on the information set out in the TA submitted with the application the proposals could lead to some 27 vehicle movements during the morning peak hour and 36 movements in the evening peak hour. This calculation is based on vehicle trip rates provided by WC as part of the pre-application discussions. 4.3.10 If a 10% reduction is proposed as part of the final TP targets set after the completion of the initial travel surveys the development could be expected to generate 24 vehicle trips in the morning peak hour and 32 trips in the evening peak hour. 4.4 Summary 4.4.1 The overarching objective of this TP is to reduce single occupancy car usage for the development through encouraging more sustainable travel. The other objectives of this TP complement each other and include increasing resident awareness of sustainable travel and the creation of a culture of sustainable travel within the local community. 4.4.2 Targets to measure the success of this TP will be set following occupation of the development and will be based on the results of an initial residents travel survey. 2011 census journey to work data has been used to establish a likely modal split, and shows that the majority of people living in the ward drive to work. It is likely that targets will include a 10% reduction in single occupancy car use. AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 14

5 Travel Plan Coordinator and Responsibilities

5.1 Introduction 5.1.1 This section discusses the role and responsibilities of the Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC) in the implementation of the TP. 5.2 Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC) 5.2.1 The developer will make a commitment to providing a TPC to oversee the implementation of the TP from three months prior to first occupation of the development. The role of the TPC will be funded for the full monitoring period of the TP. Details on the length of monitoring are provided in Chapter 7. The TPC will not be full-time and accordingly it is anticipated that the role could be undertaken by an employee of the developer/house builder, such as a member of an on-site sales team. The TPC could also be an external consultant. 5.2.2 WC will be provided with the name and contact details of the TPC once identified, and will be informed immediately of any change in the nominated person. 5.2.3 TPC responsibilities will include: x Promoting and guiding the development of the TP within an approved framework; x Ensuring all hard and soft measures set out in this TP are implemented within the agreed timescales; x Developing further initiatives/reviewing existing initiatives; x Marketing, publicity and awareness of the TP; x Personalised Travel Planning (PTP) advice for initial residents; x Ensuring that relevant information is provided to all intended users of the TP and that information is clearly displayed on the TP notice boards and is kept up-to-date, including:

o Current public transport timetables and fare information; o Central point of contact for travel related enquiries and comments; o Publicity linked to the TP; o Events; o Feedback; o TP successes, targets and results; x Liaising with WC TP officer in order to retain an awareness of local transport policies to ensure that the TP remains fresh; x Promotion of the ‘Connecting Wiltshire’ car share group (https://wiltshire.liftshare.com/default.asp); x Seeking regular feedback from local bus operators, and monitoring demand for any additional bus facilities; x Discussing bus provision with WC and local bus operator; x Discussing potential to obtain discounts for residents with local cycle stores; x Endeavouring to form partnerships with other wider supporting organisations such as Sustrans, Association of Commuter Transport, Cycle Touring Campaign, Pedestrians Association and the Environmental Transport Association; x Endeavour to form a link with the Quakers Walk TPC to create economies of scale and ensure consistency across the developments; AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 15

Capabilities on project: Transport

x Encouraging the use of sustainable transport modes for instance walking and cycling for employees living in close proximity to the site; x Undertaking TP surveys and preparation of annual monitoring reports to be provided to WC on request; x Agreeing the formal monitoring arrangements with WC (see Chapter 7); and x Implement the formal monitoring arrangements for the agreed period (see Chapter 7). 5.2.4 Once formal monitoring has ceased, a local resident or resident’s group could adopt the role of the TPC. As the TP at this point in time will have been refined as far as is reasonably possible, the role of this group will be to provide continued support towards the aims of the fixed plan, rather than to any implement new measures or further monitoring. 5.2.5 As stated it will be the role of the TPC to ensure awareness of the TP by residents and visitors. 5.3 Summary 5.3.1 A TPC will be appointed to oversee the implementation of the TP from three months prior to first occupation of the development. The role of the TPC will be part-time, and funded for the full monitoring period. 5.3.2 The TPC will have a range of responsibilities to ensure the successful implementation of the TP, which includes raising awareness of the TP measures and initiatives, organising PTP for residents, and working towards securing sustainable travel benefits / discounts through working with external operators. 5.3.3 Once formal monitoring has ceased, it is envisaged that a local resident or resident’s group could adopt the role of the TPC to provide continued support to the TP implementation.

6 Sustainable Travel Measures

6.1 Introduction 6.1.1 This section describes the proposed measures to be implemented to achieve the objectives of the TP. 6.2 Pedestrian and Cycle Measures 6.2.1 The proposed residential development will include the following initiatives to positively promote and encourage walking and cycling by residents;

x Provision of covered and secure cycle parking for all residents at the new development, this will be in line with the current WC standards at the time of the reserved matters application; x Prominent signing on main pedestrian and cycling routes to/from the site, showing time taken in minutes and distance in ¼ mile increments; x A travel information notice board in a central area to display local cycle maps, details of local cycle retailers and cycle parking facilities at local community facilities; x The TPC will seek to negotiate discounts at local cycle retailers or provide a voucher to each household towards a bicycle; x The developer will provide funding to WC for a maximum of three years after adoption of internal development carriageway to cover costs, and operation, marketing and monitoring of;

o Bi-monthly adult cycle training/led cycle rides; o Monthly walks for health; and o Child cycle training three times a year for levels 2 and 3. AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 17

Capabilities on project: Transport

6.2.2 The level of funding provided for this cycle training will be agreed with WC prior to the adoption of the final Travel Plan. 6.3 Travel Information Packs 6.3.1 Travel Information Packs will be produced by the developer and displayed at their sales office to inform potential buyers of the travel means available as alternatives to the private car. Each eventual purchaser will be provided with a pack at first occupation. 6.3.2 Included within the packs will be: x Maps showing pedestrian and cycle routes within the local area; x Details of local facilities including schools, shops and leisure facilities, and how to access them through sustainable travel modes (on foot/bike and public transport); x Information on the location of bus stops and timetable information. Specific information for access by bus to key local amenities will be highlighted. Information on bus fares, season tickets, and bus company contact details will also be provided. This information will be beneficial in establishing a bus travel culture and attracting potential residents to the site that do not require use of a car from the outset to occupy a dwelling; and x Details of locally available car share schemes, including ‘Connecting Wiltshire’, and how to use these. 6.3.3 A half yearly newsletter will be provided to all residents for the duration of the TP monitoring period. This will include news on sustainable travel initiatives in the local area, sustainable travel events and could feature articles on resident success stories. 6.4 Resident’s Notice Board 6.4.1 A resident’s notice board will be located in one of the communal open spaces. The TPC, supported by the developer of the site will be responsible for keeping information on the board up to date for the duration of the monitoring period, with upkeep potentially passed on to the community or residents group afterwards. Information contained on the boards will be similar to that in the TP information packs and will include as a minimum; x Cycling – local cycle maps, details of local cycle retailers and cycle parking facilities at local community facilities will be displayed; x Public Transport – bus timetables will be displayed; x Details of any organised cycle rides or walks, survey results, latest newsletters, national walking/cycling events and details of local discounts could also be advertised on the notice board; x Details of TP survey dates and results of the scheme; x Details on the TP targets and success in hitting these; x Contact details for the TPC; and x Details of any locally available car share schemes including what to do, who to contact and the benefits of using the scheme. 6.5 Public Transport 6.5.1 Details of existing bus services and facilities have been provided in Chapter 2 of this report. Measures to encourage use of public transport are outlined below; x TPC will consult with the WC Transport Unit to identify site specific advice and information; AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 18

Capabilities on project: Transport

x Information packs will be provided to the first occupiers of each dwelling highlighting the location of bus stops, and timetable information for the bus stops located near the site. Specific information for access by bus to key local amenities will be highlighted; x Bus information including that on fares, season tickets, and bus company contact details will displayed on the notice board provided within the site; x Ongoing communication by TPC with bus operators to gain feedback, and monitor demand for bus facilities. Where relevant discuss these communications with WC; and x If required the TPC will discuss the potential for the development to fund the provision of a three month local area bus Freedom Tickets for each dwelling. If required these tickets will be provided on request with an invitation to take up the offer included in the travel information pack. 6.5.2 These measures will be beneficial in establishing a bus travel culture and attracting potential residents to the site that do not require use of a car from the outset of occupying a dwelling. 6.6 Car Sharing 6.6.1 The car is an important mode of transport and in some cases can be the best travel option available to future residents. However, car sharing offers significant benefits not just for the environment but also financially. The following measures to encourage responsible car use could be promoted by the TP. x Car sharing schemes:

o Promote the use of www.carsharewiltshire.com which provides an organised framework for car sharing, and include information on how to use the scheme.

o Provide residents with information on local and national car sharing schemes such as www.share-a-lift.com and www.LiftShare.com. AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 19

Capabilities on project: Transport

6.7 Personal Travel Planning 6.7.1 Personalised Travel Planning (PTP) will be provided at the development and will be undertaken by the TPC. This will be offered at first occupation for all residents. 6.7.2 Whilst the provision of travel information packs has a role to play in informing people about their transport options, it does not necessarily mean that people receiving it will use sustainable transport as the information is not specific to individual needs. PTP will therefore be developed to provide tailored information to people in order that they receive information most relevant to their potential travel patterns. 6.7.3 PTP schemes contribute towards a reduction in car trips and are therefore a cost effective and more sustainable way of reducing congestion; especially when compared with the cost of road infrastructure improvements which can actually encourage car use. 6.7.4 Invitations to participate in PTP will be included in the Travel Information Packs, along with household diaries to be completed (an online version will also be made available). Following acceptance of the PTP invitation and completion of household travel diaries, the TPC will analyse the diaries to establish potential opportunities to travel more sustainably. Appropriate benefits such as bus vouchers or bicycle purchase discounts can then be provided as part of the PTP response. An option will be made available to organise a further consultation with the TPC to those interested. This approach will be discussed and agreed with WC prior to commencement. 6.7.5 As well as at first occupation the PTP will be offered to all residents on an annual basis for the duration of the TP monitoring. Residents will be asked if they wish to take part in the PTP scheme via doorstep interviews and via a PTP confirmation form. 6.8 Summary 6.8.1 This TP includes a range of initiatives to promote walking and cycling, such as the provision of covered and secure cycle parking for all residents, improved signage and the increasing of awareness of walking and cycling routes. 6.8.2 A Travel Information Pack will be produced that includes information on sustainable travel and details of local facilities. This will be supplemented by a half yearly newsletter to provide updates on sustainable travel initiatives and events. The packs will be distributed to all residents at the development. 6.8.3 A resident’s notice board will be located in a prominent location on the site and will provide a means of displaying sustainable travel information. The TPC, supported by the developer, will ensure that the notice board remains up to date. 6.8.4 A number of measures will be implemented that target public transport use. This includes the provision of bus service information to residents via the Travel Information Packs and notice board and engagement with bus service operators to gain feedback and monitor demand for bus facilities. 6.8.5 Car sharing will be promoted through the TP with the establishment of an on-site car sharing group and by investigating the potential of providing a car club space on site. 6.8.6 PTP will be provided to residents and will give tailored sustainable travel information to people according to their travel patterns. PTP will be administered by the TPC and invitations to participate will be sent to residents through the Travel Information Packs. In addition to being provided upon first occupation, residents will be able to take part in PTP on an annual basis. AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 20

7 Monitoring and Review

7.1 Introduction 7.1.1 An appropriate monitoring and review strategy is essential to the success of a TP. This section sets out the initial monitoring and review strategy for this outline TP. 7.2 Monitoring 7.2.1 The monitoring and review strategy will assess the performance of the TP against mode share targets. This will inform any changes that may be required to assist the plan in achieving its targets. 7.2.2 Formal monitoring of the TP will be undertaken for five years following 50% occupation. Thereafter, a local residents group could take ownership in a more informal manner. 7.2.3 Monitoring reports setting out the results of the annual surveys and if necessary additional measures to further encourage sustainable travel will be prepared by the TPC and provided to WC on request. 7.2.4 An annual monitoring fee of £2,000 will be provided by the developer to WC to allow WC to review and assess the TP on an ongoing basis. This will be payable for the duration of the five year monitoring period. 7.3 Travel Surveys 7.3.1 Monitoring of the TP targets will be undertaken by the TPC. This will be achieved through residential travel surveys to be carried out as follows; x Initial baseline survey, between three and six months of 50% occupation of the overall site; and x Annual monitoring for five years following the baseline survey. 7.3.2 Surveys will include at least; x Origin and destination (including details of linked trips); x Journey purpose; x Mode of travel; x Personalised household diary, commencing at first occupation, with scope and requirement to be agreed with WC; and x Traffic volume loop counts using automatic traffic counters (ATCs) on the site access road. 7.3.3 Formal monitoring will cease when the role of the TPC terminates. Thereafter, a local residents group could take ownership in a more informal manner however this will not be a requirement of the TP. 7.3.4 The results of the surveys will be made available to all residents after agreement of the findings with WC TP Officers. 7.4 Action Plan 7.4.1 A timetable of the measures proposed and the timescale for implementations is set out in Table 7.1: AECOM Land off Quakers Road, Devizes: Outline Residential Travel Plan 21

Until specific targets have been set, these remedial measures cannot be confirmed, however they could include; additional marketing, further, more frequent PTP sessions, or events such as Dr Bike mornings or sustainable travel breakfasts. 7.5.2 Feedback from the initial travel surveys will help to identify what measures could be included within the remedial package. In addition, this information will help identify areas of concern or reasons for failure to meet targets. 7.5.3 Measures will be discussed and agreed with WC if necessary.
