Culham Science Centre – Travel Plan – November 2018

1.0 Overview and Introduction

1.1 Culham Science Centre (CSC) is a major centre for science and technology in Oxfordshire. It is identified in the South Oxfordshire District Council Local Plan as a ‘major developed site in the green belt’, Policy CSEM3 in the Core Strategy supports the redevelopment and growth potential of CSC. Figure 1 shows an aerial view of the CSC.

1.2 In line with government policy, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), as owner of the Centre, wishes to encourage a choice of modes of transport to the site. This is a challenging and long-term task recognising, as elsewhere in the UK, the current heavy dependence of employees on the private motor car and the relative locations of employment and residential development in southern Oxfordshire.

1.3 The purpose of this document is to provide a statement of the current Figure 1: Aerial View of Culham Science Centre transport position and provisions, together with details of future

plans/issues. The Plan is broken down by mode of transport, and looks at home to work travel and visitor journeys as well as intra-site movements recognising the substantial size of the site itself. Information is also given on the communication of transport news, an essential element in maximising the potential use of non-car transport means.

Culham Science Centre – Travel Plan – November 2018

2.0 The Current Position: Existing Transport Patterns

2.1 The CSC is a major centre for science and technology and is situated

approximately 7.5 miles south of the edge of Oxford, 3.5 miles east of

Abingdon-on-Thames and 6 miles north of Didcot (centre) as indicated on

the regional context plan on Figure 2.

2.2 There are currently around 2000 employees based at the CSC working for

the UKAEA and other resident organisations. In addition, innovative and

entrepreneurial small start-up businesses are catered for within the

Culham Innovation Centre (www.culham-ic.co.uk) operated by Oxford

Innovation Ltd., by providing serviced and virtual office accommodation.

As the smaller companies grow, the CSC is usually able to accommodate

them within the main site, offering continuity and stability to the burgeoning

businesses.

2.3 Traffic count surveys were last carried out at the junction leading to the

CSC on the A415, and at the entrance gate on a typical weekday in

September 2018. The resulting traffic flows showing the AM and PM peak

hours and 12-hour flows are illustrated on BSP Drawing 03081/C10,

towards the end of this document. In total, there are around 3,900

vehicular movements per day in and out of this access junction. Regional Context Plan Figure 2:

Culham Science Centre – Travel Plan – November 2018

2.4 At the same time as the traffic counts above, a movement survey was 2.5 The 2018 traffic count looked at the traffic flows at the junction with the carried out adjacent to the entrance gate to record traffic and movement A415. There were slight differences in the number of cars associated with trips by all modes of transport. This enabled the daily modal split values CSC during the morning and evening peak hours and over the 12-hour for people entering and exiting the site to be calculated, and the results are period when compared to 2017 flows. The numbers of through vehicles shown in Figure 3, from a sample size of around 4,200 movements. It travelling along the A415 were also slightly different (some positive and should be noted that these figures include visitor and operational trips as negative) for the AM, PM and 12-hour periods respectively, although no well as commuter trips. Frequent surveys are undertaken to identify shifts overall pattern of change is indicated. in the modal split of journeys to and from the site. 2.6 The turning movements of traffic shown on drawing 03081/C10, indicate that the distribution of CSC traffic is approximately 55% to/from the A415 72.1% West and 45% to/from the A415 East.

2.7 Towards the end of September 2015, the UKAEA Property Unit (UPU) carried out a fact finding questionnaire to gain a better understanding of the businesses based at Culham. The questionnaire provided an

10.0% opportunity to gather information on their awareness of sustainable 8.4% 7.9% transport options available such as Culham’s Car Share Scheme (www.culhamcarshare.com) and the government’s Cycle to Work scheme. This also confirmed that 85% of respondents were aware of Culham’s 1.6% Travel Plan and 14% had their own Travel Plan.

• Cycling events sponsored by the UKAEA encourage and help maintain sustainable transport to and from site (e.g. annual cycle to work day with free breakfast for participants). CSC benefitted in 2015/16 from Oxfordshire Travel Choices support with promotional material and exhibition stands for cycling, cycling proficiency, bike maintenance and car sharing. • Skid proof surfacing on the main roundabout on site was added to improve grip for cyclists. • The main footpath leading into the site has been re-designated a shared pedestrian/cycle pathway and marked up accordingly to improve safety at the exit/entry to site. In addition, speed reducing humps with gaps for cyclists; have been provided at the main gate. • All new buildings cater for cyclists with cycle sheds and shower facilities included. Further new cycle shelters have been installed around the site, and a map showing the current provision is included at the end of the document. • The UKAEA have negotiated a Dr Bike service on site, a number of

times per year, provided by a local bike retailer which also offers

cycling proficiency courses.

5.5 Bus

• Bus stops and bus shelters have previously been installed at the lay-

by on the A415 outside Culham Science Centre as indicated on the

plan at the end of the document. This work was partly paid for by the

UKAEA, as part of their ongoing programme to encourage sustainable

travel. The work also included a new section of footpath and lighting

to link the bus stops to the CSC pedestrian network.

• With the planned residential and employment growth in the SVUK

area, CSC will continue to work with the County Council to re-

instate/provide public transport options to the Centre for its

employees.

5.8 Business travel

• Resident companies will be provided with information that will allow them to inform their visitors about transport options.

• The UKAEA encourages the use of shared taxis and car sharing to offsite business meetings wherever possible.

• Video and teleconferencing facilities are used where appropriate.
