1. INTRODUCTION
Introduction
1.1 TPS Transport Consultants Ltd (TPS) has been commissioned by Kier Living to prepare a Travel Plan in relation to a proposed residential development of 256 dwellings on land at Preston Road, Longridge. The location of the development is shown in Figure 1. Appendix A includes a layout plan for the proposals, which have the benefit of planning consent.
Figure 1 - Site Location
Development Location
1.2 The Travel Plan is a requirement of the planning approval; attached to the consent was a series of planning conditions, including the requirement for a Framework and, subsequent, Full Travel Plan. The wording of the Condition is as follows:
No development shall commence until a Framework Travel Plan has been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority in consultation with the Highway TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
Authority. The provisions of the Framework Travel Plan shall be implemented and operated in strict accordance with the timetable contained therein unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority:
For the avoidance of doubt the Framework Travel Plan must include a schedule for the submission of a Full Travel Plan within a suitable timeframe of first occupation, the development being first brought into use or other identifiable stage of development.
Where the Local Planning Authority agrees a timetable for implementation of a Framework or Full Travel Plan, the elements are to be implemented in strict accordance with the approved timetable unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. All elements shall continue to be implemented at all times thereafter for as long as any part of the development is occupied or used/for a minimum of at least 5 years after site completion.
1.3 The Travel Plan strategy set out within this report details the specific measures that Kier Living intends to implement at the site, and timescales for doing so. It also details the process by which the impact of those measures will be monitored. Given that the developer is known, it is considered that there is no requirement for a Framework Travel Plan ahead of a Full Travel Plan; rather this document constitutes a Full Travel Plan, that Kier Living is fully committed to delivering throughout the development build out.
1.4 TPS is a specialist Travel Plan consultancy with extensive experience of developing and implementing residential Travel Plans for house builders throughout the UK. The content of the Travel Plan and the specific measures proposed, therefore, pays due regard to national and local travel planning guidance (Section 2), and the experiences of TPS in delivering Travel Plans at other similar residential developments, including for Kier Living in other regions.
Development Proposals
1.5 The proposed development consists of 256 residential dwellings, on land accessed off Preston Road, Longridge. The site is bounded by the B6243 (Preston Road) to the east, existing residential dwellings to the north and open farmland to the south and west.
1.6 The vehicular access will be taken at two locations from Preston Road, via new priority junctions to the east of the site, with a pedestrian and cycle link through to the Miller Homes development to the north. An additional cycle and pedestrian access will also be provided from Water Meadows to the south east of the site. Along the eastern boundary of the site, to the west of Preston Road, there is a continuous street lit footway, which facilitates TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
pedestrian movement from the site to the centres of Longridge and Grimsargh, as well as to the surrounding residential areas.
Developer’s Commitment to Travel Planning
1.7 Kier Living recognises that by submitting and implementing a Travel Plan, sustainable travel patterns can be both established from the outset and maintained over time, minimising the impact that the development has upon local infrastructure and the environment and ensuring that, where possible, all residents make informed journey choices.
1.8 Travel Plans can deliver a wide range of benefits to housing developers themselves, as well as to residents and the wider community. At the sales and marketing stage, a proactive Travel Plan can assist a residential developer in promoting a site as an accessible and sustainable location to live, with a range of travel options available to prospective residents. This process enables residents to make a fully informed decision when choosing to move to the site, taking into account the site's location relative to sustainable travel options, and the knock on effect this may have upon reducing the need to own or use a car.
1.9 The promotion of sustainable travel options from an early stage provides a cost-effective mechanism by which developers can minimise the level of car based trips generated by a site, which in turn reduces the impact that a development has on local traffic levels, noise, air quality and road safety.
1.10 The individual benefits to be derived through the use of sustainable travel options include financial, health, fitness and avoidance of congestion delays (through greater use of active modes of travel).
1.11 Recognising these benefits, Kier Living is fully committed to the process of delivering this Travel Plan in taking the development forward. Furthermore, they are committed to providing the appropriate level of resource to ensure the continued strategic implementation of the measures contained within this document, monitoring the progress of the plan, and amending it where necessary.
The Travel Plan Vision
1.12 The vision for this Travel Plan is:
“To make the development a place where residents can make fully informed travel choices for all journeys they make, and in doing so can reduce their reliance upon the private car and the resultant impact upon the local environment.” TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
Travel Plan Aims and Objectives
1.13 To achieve this vision, the aims of this document are to:
Maximise the attractiveness of the development to potential residents by highlighting the accessibility of the site by a range of travel options; and Minimise the impact the development has upon the environment and local highway network by promoting the use of these sustainable travel options above less sustainable modes.
1.14 Reflecting these aims, the objectives of this Travel Plan document are to:
Determine the range of travel options available to residents; Maximise the use of sustainable travel modes amongst residents through effective promotion and engagement; and Use suitable monitoring and reporting mechanisms to assess, over time, the impact of the measures within this Travel Plan.
Report Format
1.15 Following this introductory section, this document outlines the principles, policies and strategic benefits of effective travel planning, before exploring the nature of the transport infrastructure surrounding the development.
1.16 Effective Travel Plans are those that contain a range of specific measures, targeted at the demographic of a site and backed up by a communications strategy that ensures people are made aware of the range of opportunities available to them. This document outlines both the measures to be implemented by Kier Living and also discusses the way in which travel by each mode of transport will be supported and encouraged through promotion of existing opportunities. TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
2. DEVELOPMENT ACCESSIBILITY & CONNECTIVITY
Introduction
2.1 The proposed residential development is located off Preston Road, Longridge; Longridge town centre is located around 1.9km to the north of the site. Preston is the largest conurbation in the locality, sitting 10km to the south west of the development.
2.2 This section will outline the range of travel options that will be available to residents of the proposed development and demonstrates connectivity between the development and key likely destinations. As will be covered, residents will have ready access to a wide range of local amenities, services and education facilities, making the use of sustainable options viable for many regular journeys.
Active Travel Options
Pedestrian Routes
2.3 Two kilometres is typically considered to be the maximum walking distance that residents will be prepared to walk to access local facilities, including education and employment. Figure 3.1 below illustrates a 2km walking catchment measured (as the crow flies) from the centre of the site. This illustrates that the centre of Longridge, along with the northern parts of Grimsargh are within walking distance of the site.
2.4 The surrounding area is mainly agricultural in character, albeit with existing footways on all major routes connecting the site to the surrounding residential areas. Preston Road which will be used to access many of the nearby facilities on foot, is lit along its length. As part of the development proposals, pedestrian infrastructure in the area will be improved, with crossing facilities introduced at key points (to facilitate access to nearby bus stops). TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
Figure 3.1 – 2KM Catchment
Cycle Routes
2.5 Five kilometres is typically considered to be a distance within which people can realistically be expected to cycle, with relevant guidance stating that “Cycling also has the potential to substitute for short car trips, particularly those under 5 kilometres, and to form part of a longer journey by public transport”.
2.6 A wide range of local destinations can be accessed within 5km by bike, as illustrated in the later in this section. These include Longridge, Grimsargh, and the north-eastern section of Preston city centre.
2.7 Figure 3.2 below illustrates the official cycle routes within the vicinity of Longridge. National Cycle Route 6 lies 3.7km to the west, connecting the development to Preston town centre in the south west. This route runs, nationally, between Watford, Sheffield, Preston and Windermere. Regional Cycle Route 90 can be found 1.8km to the north in Longridge, and travels west to Blackpool and north to Silverdale. TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
2.8 In the immediate vicinity of the site, the nearby roads within Longridge are generally lightly trafficked and benefit from low vehicles speeds, and thus are conducive to cycling.
Figure 3.2: Local Cycle Routes
Development Site
Public Transport
Bus Services
2.9 The closest bus stops to the development are located on Preston Road, outside of the development to the east. The existing north and south bound stops on Preston Road consist of a flag and pole. Kier Living is committed to making infrastructure improvements in order to increase the attractiveness / convenience of bus travel in line with the aims of this TP, by TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
providing raised curbs, shelters, timetable information and crossing points. Figure 3.3 below shows the location of these bus stops.
Figure 3.3 – Bus Stop Locations
Bus Stops
2.10 There are six bus services which serve the bus stops on Preston Road, five of which are school bus services, operating during the weekday peak hours, providing links to the education facilities in the area. Bus service 1 is a public service which provides up to 6 services an hour to the stops on Preston Road; the hourly frequency by day / time is summarised below in Table 3.1.
2.11 As is illustrated in Table 3.1 and Figure 3.1, residents at the site will have easy access to a frequent bus service, providing connections to Preston city centre, from where a large number of onward services can be accessed. The bus will, therefore, provide a viable and attractive travel option for many local journeys. TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
Table 3.1: Local Bus Service Summary
Frequency Bus Route Sunday/ Service Weekday Saturday Daytime Daytime Evenings
Preston – Grimsargh - 30 minutes 1 10 minutes 10 minutes Longridge
Rail Services
2.12 The nearest train station to the site is Ramsgreave and Wilpshire, which is some 9km from the development; from here, services run up to every hour between Manchester Victoria and Clitheroe; the journey times to these destinations are 55 minutes and 19 minutes respectively. The service also stops at a number of destinations en route, including Salford, Bolton, Darwen and Blackburn. Both car and cycle parking is available at the station (in the adjacent museum car park), meaning train travel can form part of a longer journey.
2.13 As an alternative, both Blackburn and Preston stations are approximately equidistant from the development; both can be reached in around 30 minutes by car, whilst Preston station is also accessible on the number 1 bus service, which drops off within a few minutes walk. The journey time by bus (including this walk) is around 40 minutes; as such this offers a viable alternative to trips to the station by car. Table 3.2 summarises the frequency of the main services from Preston and Blackburn stations.

Walk: 12 minutes Cycle: 4 minutes
2.15 As is illustrated above, there is a wide range of facilities and services that can be easily accessed by sustainable modes of transport from the development. These opportunities will be promoted through the various marketing and communication channels outlined in section 3. TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
3. TRAVEL PLAN MEASURES
Introduction
3.1 The key to successful travel planning is to identify the most suitable modes of transport that are realistic and practical for residents of a site such as this to adopt, before making these modes as attractive as possible. There is no single solution to any one person’s transport needs. Different people will respond to different measures, whilst some may not react to any. A range of Travel Plan measures is, therefore, proposed which residents can pick and choose from as they consider appropriate.
Travel Plan Management and Resources
3.2 It is recognised that an important element of the success of this Travel Plan will be the appointment of a Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC). The TPC will have overall responsibility for the development, implementation and management of the Travel Plan strategy throughout the period of development at the site.
3.3 Having responsibility for ongoing management of the site, Kier Living is responsible for appointing a Travel Plan Coordinator to the role. The TPC will be in place prior to the marketing of the units, until a point 5 years after final occupation (in line with the planning condition).
3.4 Kier Living has engaged TPS to fulfill the role of the TPC. Contact details can be found below:
Georgina Stares TPS Transport Consultants Ltd T: 01924 664638 E: [email protected]
3.5 The role of the TPC will include (but not be limited to):
Preparation and distribution of travel information and marketing materials; Liaising with the sales team to ensure the sustainable travel credentials of the site are promoted from the outset; Promoting local and national sustainable travel-related discounts to residents; Engaging with residents on travel and transport related issues; Liaising with other interested parties, including the local authority; and Coordinating the annual monitoring process. TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
3.6 Kier Living will ensure that an appropriate budget is made available to the TPC to both cover the delivery of the role, and the range of measures outlined within this Travel Plan.
Travel Plan Marketing and Information Provision
3.7 The principal task of the TPC will be to ensure that the available travel options are effectively promoted to all residents at the development. This will primarily be achieved through a range of modern marketing techniques, which will ensure the full demographic of residents (and prospective residents) have easy access to relevant and up to date travel information.
Marketing Strategy 1: Provision of a bespoke travel information website
3.8 Websites offer an ideal means of providing people with access to up to date information, and direct links to external sources of information and tools, such as journey planning websites, car share schemes, timetables and maps. They are more flexible and environmentally friendly than provision of hard copies of travel information, which are likely to change over time.
3.9 A bespoke travel information website will, therefore, be set up for the development, providing residents with access to the latest local information, advice and news. This website will be managed by the TPC throughout their involvement at the site, after which control of the website will be offered to a local residents’ group (or willing individual) to ensure that the opportunity exists for travel planning to continue at the site.
3.10 The residents travel website will contain a wide range of site specific travel information and advice and will, where appropriate, provide direct links to external sources of information, including but not limited to:
The provision of public transport timetables and maps for download; Links to journey planning tools, such as walkit.com and cyclestreets.net; Cycle maps to download; Advice on walking and cycling in the local community; A map illustrating the key local trip destinations; Details of useful apps, including those of local bus operators; Information and advice on car sharing, with a link to the Liftshare car share scheme; Advice on eco-driving and information on electric vehicles.
3.11 The website will be promoted to prospective residents via the sales office in the first instance; this will be followed up with information provided at the point of occupation and on an TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
ongoing basis thereafter to ensure the availability of more sustainable travel options is promoted continually.
3.12 An example website, prepared by TPS and similar to the one to be provided at the Preston Road site, can be seen at www.ashtreepark-travel.co.uk.
Marketing Strategy 2: Travel Information Leaflet
3.13 A travel information leaflet will be prepared; this will provide a summary of the range of travel options available to residents, and will direct people to the aforementioned website.
3.14 The leaflet will be distributed via the sales office to all prospective residents to help ensure that they are aware of the range of travel options available to them prior to making the decision on whether to purchase a new home at the development. Subsequently, it will be distributed to all new residents alongside their welcome pack at the point at which they first occupy their home in order to ensure that the Travel Plan message is reinforced.
3.15 An example travel information leaflet, prepared by TPS and similar to the one that will be prepared for the development, can be seen in Appendix B. The content of the travel guide will be reviewed regularly and a re-print will be done, as and when required, to reflect any changes to local travel options.
Marketing Strategy 3: Free Personalised Journey Planning for each household
3.16 Each household will be offered a free personalised journey plan, which they can make use of by contacting the TPC. The TPC would input the residents' journey information into MyPTP and would then email the journey plan to the recipient. Residents will be made aware of the service via the aforementioned leaflet, website and newsletter.
Marketing Strategy 4: Annual Residents’ Newsletter
3.17 To ensure continued engagement with residents, after they initially move into their property, a newsletter will be issued to all occupied dwellings on an annual basis; an example of a newsletter for a different developer (prepared by TPS) is provided at Appendix C. The newsletter offers the opportunity to re-promote the various local transport options and to update residents as to any changes to local infrastructure / services.
Marketing Strategy 5: Promote Discounts with sustainable travel providers to residents.
3.18 As the TPC across a large number of residential developments, TPS has secured a series of discounts that are available to residents including bike and accessories discounts at Halfords, adult scooters, home electric vehicle charging points, secure bike storage and TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
running and walking accessories. The discounts will be promoted via the travel guide, website and newsletter.
Walking Specific Measures
3.19 Walking contributes towards maintaining fitness levels and research indicates that 30 minutes brisk walking per day could halve the risk of heart disease. It is also the most sustainable form of transport as it is ‘zero carbon’, and does not use any capacity on public transport.
3.20 It has already been identified that a range of desirable local amenities are accessible on foot or by bike from the development site. The TPC will, therefore, promote walking for local trips.
Walking Strategy 1: Promote and encourage walking, including the benefits of doing so, through the distribution or displaying of promotional material
3.21 Walking will be marketed through the communication channels outlined earlier. In particular this marketing material will include:
Promotion of benefits in terms of health, finances, social interaction etc; Promotion of national and local walking campaigns and initiatives; Promotion of local walking routes; and Details of key local destinations within walking distance on a map.
Cycling Specific Measures
3.22 Cycling also has many benefits in terms of health, fitness, mental well-being and reliability. In periods of traffic congestion and over short distances cycling offers competitive journey times with motorised transport, and also has a minimal impact upon highway capacity and the environment, as compared with vehicular trips.
Cycle Strategy 1: Promote and encourage cycling by distributing or displaying promotional material, which outlines its benefits
3.23 Cycling and its various benefits will be marketed through the communication channels outlined earlier. In particular the marketing should include:
The benefits of cycling (health, financial, environmental etc); Details of local cycle routes; Access to online cycle journey planners, such as www.cyclestreets.net; and Details of local cycle groups. TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
Cycling Strategy 2: Discounts for residents at Halfords cycle shops
3.24 The TPC has obtained discounts for residents at Halfords shops when purchasing safety equipment, bikes, and essential parts. All residents benefit from a 10% discount on the cost of bicycles, 15% off cycle accessories and 20% off bike servicing. This will be promoted via the aforementioned communication channels.
Public Transport Specific Measures
3.25 New residents at the development may initially be unaware of their public transport options. Through the provision of easy to use travel information, residents can be encouraged to use bus / rail services. With this in mind, information on the public transport opportunities will be made available to residents via the range of communication channels identified earlier.
3.26 Furthermore, with a range of user friendly, easily accessible journey planning tools now available online, it is quick and simple to plan a journey whether for commuting or leisure purposes.
Public Transport Strategy 1: Public Transport will be marketed as a sustainable and practical mode of transport, and the benefits of using it highlighted, by distributing or displaying promotional material via the aforementioned communication methods
3.27 Travel by public transport will be marketed through the communication channels identified earlier, and in particular will include the following:
Details of where to find relevant bus timetables and maps in electronic form; A plan showing the location of nearby bus stops; Details of ticketing options, and how to purchase these, including details of app / mobile tickets.
Public Transport Strategy 2: Promotion of links to further sources of advice and information will be undertaken via the aforementioned communication methods
3.28 The promotion of links to further sources of advice and information will be undertaken, these sources will include:
o The LCC public transport pages; o The Travel Line and Google online journey planning tools; o Next Bus: Live departure information online, by text, or on your mobile; o Details on tickets and passes available and how to purchase these most cost effectively; and TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
o National Rail, and other online train journey planning/booking services.
Sustainable Car Use Measures
3.29 A number of trips may only be practically possible by car (such as long distance journeys, trips at night, regular commuting to regional urban centres and journeys to locations inaccessible by active travel or public transport). Effective Travel Plans are not anti-car campaigns but rather are aimed at empowering residents to make informed travel choices. The promotion of car sharing will, therefore, be a key element to this strategy.
Sustainable Car Use Strategy 1: Promote Car Sharing
3.30 Car sharing is when two or more people share a journey by car and travel together. It allows people to take advantage of the benefits of using the car, whilst at the same time reduces the overall number of vehicle trips made, and subsequently the impact on the environment. On a personal level, car sharing allows individuals to significantly reduce the cost of travelling by car.
3.31 A great deal of car sharing is arranged informally; however, to assist residents that wish to make more formal arrangements to either offer or find a lift, the Liftshare car share scheme (www.liftshare.com) will be promoted. The scheme will be promoted to both prospective and existing residents by way of the aforementioned leaflet.
Sustainable Car Use Strategy 2: Promote Eco-Driving
3.32 Smarter driving or ‘eco-driving’ could save the average person up to £220 per year in fuel costs, as well as helping the environment. Eco-driving means moving more efficiently and producing less CO2 – the main contributor to climate change.
3.33 Eco-driving will be promoted to residents by way of the previously described media channels with a view to reducing environmental impact (and costs to residents) of any necessary car trips.
Sustainable Car Use Strategy 3: Promote Electric Car Charging Points
3.34 Residents will be made aware of the benefits of electric vehicles, together with locations of charging points, via the aforementioned media channels. Locations of all local charging points can be found here: http://www.nextgreencar.com/electric-cars/charging- points.php TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
4. TARGETS, MONITORING AND REPORTING
Introduction
4.1 When delivering a Travel Plan it is important to monitor its progress. This helps the TPC to understand the success of the measures delivered, in helping to reduce the number of residents who undertake journeys by car. The Travel Plan is particularly concerned with reducing vehicular movements in the peak periods, as a means to reduce localised congestion and the resultant impacts on the environment.
Travel Plan Targets
4.2 Targets are essential to ensure that everyone involved in the Travel Plan process knows what needs to be done and to enable progress to be assessed. Targets should be SMART (see below) and can take the form of ‘aim-type’ targets and ‘action-type’ targets:
Specific;
Measurable;
Achievable;
Realistic; and
Time-bound.
Action-type Targets
4.3 Action-type targets are non-quantifiable targets and take the form of actions that need to be achieved.
4.4 The action-type targets specific to this Travel Plan have been outlined in the action plan contained at Appendix D, which identifies key delivery timeframes and responsibilities.
Aim-type Targets
4.5 Aim-type targets are quantifiable targets against which the effectiveness of the Travel Plan in achieving its stated aims and objectives can be measured. In order to set aim-type targets it is first necessary to have a ‘baseline’ modal split against which progress can be assessed.
4.6 In this instance, the likely baseline (i.e. without Travel Plan) vehicular trips has been estimated on the basis of the TRICS trip rates within the approved Transport Assessment (prepared by Mayer Brown). The target is then to reduce actual (counted) trips to below this baseline, taking account of the Travel Plan measures. TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
4.7 The target for a reduction in the number of vehicular trips has been set at 10%, to be achieved by final occupation.
4.8 The vehicular AM and PM peak hour trip rates (vehicles/dwelling) reflecting the TRICS data used in the Transport Assessment are shown in Table 4.1, below.
Table 4.1: TA Trip Rates & Traffic Generation
Trip Rates Trip Generation Peak Hour Arrival Departure 2-Way Arrival Departure 2-Way
AM 0.16 0.44 0.60 41 113 154
PM 0.42 0.25 0.67 108 64 172
4.9 These vehicle trip rates can be used to estimate the number of car trips likely to be generated by the proposed residential development. Assuming at full occupation there will be 256 dwellings, some 154 two-way trips in the AM peak hour and 172 two-way trips in the PM peak hour would be expected.
4.10 A 10% reduction in vehicular trips at full occupation would, therefore, equate to a reduction of 15 two-way trips in the AM peak hour and 17 in the PM peak hour, as compared to the baseline.
4.11 There is, however, a need to monitor progress towards the targets over time (and not just at full occupation). Clearly, the number of car trips generated at any given point during the development build out is a direct function of the number of dwellings occupied at that time. Thus to enable the TPC to monitor the progress made towards the 10% target reduction at any point in the development build out, a target 'trip rate per dwelling' has been derived.
4.12 This allows the TPC to easily determine progress at any given point by simply multiplying the number of occupied dwellings by the trip rate per dwelling and comparing this with vehicular trip counts (see para 4.14). Table 4.2 identifies the target trip rates per dwelling for the AM and PM peak hours.
Table 4.2: Target Trip Rates per Dwelling
Peak Hour Arrival Departure 2-Way
AM 0.144 0.396 0.540
PM 0.378 0.225 0.603 TPS Project Number: P1112 Project Name: Preston Road, Longridge Date: April 2018
4.13 Targets will be considered to be met if the actual number of counted two-way trips per dwelling is less than or equal to the target, averaged across the peak hours.
Travel Plan Monitoring
Monitoring and Review Strategy 1: Baseline Traffic Counts
4.14 In residential scenarios, it can be difficult to achieve reasonable response rates to questionnaires as there is no requirement for residents to complete the survey. Experience has proved this to be the case even when an incentive to complete the survey is offered. For this reason, monitoring will take the form of manual peak period traffic counts, undertaken at the two vehicular site access points. By considering the amount of vehicular traffic against the number of units occupied, it will be possible to calculate the vehicular trip rate per household.
4.15 The first (baseline) traffic count will be undertaken 12 months after first occupation. The results will be shared with Travel Plan officers at Lancashire County Council following the baseline survey. Should the count data vary significantly when compared with the targets based on TRICS data, the TPC will discuss this with LCC and agree appropriate amendments to the targets.
Monitoring and Review Strategy 2: Annual Traffic Counts and Reporting
4.16 Following the initial baseline survey, subsequent traffic counts will be undertaken annually until 5 years after full occupation, in line with the requirements of the planning condition. These surveys will allow the TPC to monitor the success of the Travel Plan over time in achieving the agreed targets to reduce the number of private vehicular trips generated by the development.
4.17 The TPC will feed results of these travel surveys back to Travel Plan officers at LCC annually, and will make appropriate and practical changes to the Travel Plan programme moving forward, if required and as agreed with the Council.
