Residential Travel Plan (TP) has been prepared by Peter Brett Associates LLP (PBA) on behalf of ZeroC Holdings, to support the planning application for the proposed development of up to 122 residential units on the Trumpet Junction, Basingstoke. 1.1.2 This TP should be read in conjunction with the Transport Assessment (TA) that has been completed for the Trumpet Junction. As well as providing a detailed assessment of the forecast impact that the development proposal will have on transport in the local area, the TA also considers the accessibility of the site for pedestrians and cyclists and by public transport. 1.1.3 It is envisaged that this TP will be a ‘living’ document that is consistently monitored, reviewed and revised where necessary. It is widely recognised that Travel Plans prepared in advance of the occupation of a site can only offer an overall strategy for the adoption of sustainable transport measures. 1.1.4 The main objectives of the Trumpet TP are to provide future residents with: Sustainable access to a full range of facilities for work, education, health, leisure, recreation and shopping; Opportunity to live a healthy lifestyles; and A vibrant local community, with priority given to sustainable modes of travel. 1.2 Document Structure 1.2.1 This TP is divided into the following chapters: Section 2 briefly summaries existing national, regional and local planning policy that informs the writing of this TP; Section 3 outlines site accessibility and the existing travel situation; Section 4 presents the development proposals and access strategy; Section 5 outlines objectives and targets; and Section 6 details the TP measures.

The NPPF has since been supported by the release of the Planning Practice Guidance by the Department for Communities and Local Government (March 2014). Specific guidance relating to Travel Plans states that they are long-term management strategies for integrating proposals for sustainable travel into the planning process.
