P a g e | 3 May 2018 Parking & Travel Plan 24 Northbrook Road, Ilford, IG1 3BS
1 Introduction
1.1 This Parking & Travel Plan has been submitted in connection with the planning application for the retention of use of the existing premises at 24 Northbrook Road, Ilford, Essex, IG1 3BS as a hotel, on behalf of the applicant, Mrs N Sanghera.
1.2 This Parking & Travel Plan will:
• describe the means by which residents, visitors and users of the hotel shall be encouraged to travel to the site by means other than private car • set out the level of parking provided on site, taking account of the availability of public and private parking off site
1.3 In addition, the plan will take into account specific issues of encouraging sustainable travel for trips to and from a hotel. These include:
• hotel guests travelling at the start and end of their stay • guests making journeys whilst they are resident at the hotel • any difference in behaviour during peak seasons
1.4 The existing hotel premises at No 24 Northbrook Road provides 11 guest rooms The hotel employs 5 people on a part time basis and there is parking for up to 5 cars at the front of No 24 Northbrook Road.
1.5 In accordance with the requirements of the London Borough of Redbridge Council (LBR) this Parking & Travel Plan has also been produced in line with TfL’s current travel plan guidance released in November 2013. The ATTrBuTE assessment tool for building, testing, reviewing and evaluating travel plans is no longer in use by TfL. It is expected that new travel plan guidance and tools will follow in 2018.
1.6 On a national level, National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2012, requires developers and local planning authorities to place greater emphasis on travel by sustainable modes of transport.
1.7 On a local level, Redbridge Borough Council’s Local Plan 2015-2030 (formally adopted in March 2018), contains the planning rules by which the Council will assess planning applications. The aim of the policies therein is that all new development contributes positively to the social, economic and environmental well-being of the Borough.
1.8 Policy LP22 Promoting Sustainable Transport requires that a Travel Plan is provided to set out a package of measures to reduce reliance on private vehicles, reduce the need to travel, and promote travel to and from the development by walking, cycling and public transport. Whilst this does not mean that the use of the private car should be abolished, in fact Car Sharing between
P a g e | 4 May 2018 Parking & Travel Plan 24 Northbrook Road, Ilford, IG1 3BS
people known to each other should be actively encouraged; it does state that there needs to be a modal shift away from the car towards other sustainable transport methods in order to reduce congestion and carbon emissions.
1.9 Policy LP23 Cycle and Car Parking sets out to ensure that new developments provide sufficient cycle and car parking spaces and meet the maximum & minimum standards set out in the London Plan.
2 Statement of Intent
2.1 One of the objectives for this Parking & Travel Plan is to demonstrate the hotelier's commitment to promoting sustainable travel which is of the utmost importance to them and has the full backing of the organisation who have a primary concern to promote sustainable travel for its staff, visitors and resident guests of the hotel. As such, this report will identify and assess the sustainable travel opportunities that exist in the vicinity of the hotel. The report will detail potential measures that are within the control of the hotel manager and could further promote sustainable transport opportunities. This includes a marketing strategy to raise awareness about the Travel Plan and the opportunities for sustainable travel to and from the site and the provision of facilities within the development to promote the use of sustainable travel modes. The objectives for the plan are both environmental as well as the health and wellbeing of all those connected to the hotel.
2.2 The Travel Plan will aim to deliver the following:
• A partnership approach to influence the travel behaviour of its staff, visitors and guests • Encourage safe and viable alternatives to SOV (single occupancy vehicle) travel to the site by staff • Educate staff, visitors and guests of the social, environmental, economic and health implications of their travel choices • Improve accessibility for all
2.3 The local authority should therefore have confidence that the requirements of Policy LP22 are being met.
2.4 The plan will be implemented and monitored by the Travel Plan Co-ordinator (TPC) who will oversee the implementation and monitoring for the site as a whole. The TPC role will include raising awareness of the Parking & Travel Plan and including details on the hotel's website.

4 Staff Travel Survey
4.1 The hotel employs 5 members of staff on a part time basis and a survey has been undertaken on their travel arrangements to and from work. Due to the proximity of the site to large residential parts of Cranbrook, Seven Kings and Ilford, all staff have been recruited from the local area. Currently, 4 employees walk to work and 1 cycles. The proximity of and level of public transport services in the vicinity of the site make this a viable mode of transport for members of staff as an alternative to the car and the current staff may occasionally use the bus. No employees currently use a car to travel to work. The following table shows the travel mode survey of currently employed members of staff:

5 Parking Plan
5.1 Parking Standards
The Redbridge Local Plan 2015-2030 includes parking standards set out in "Cycle and Car Parking" (Policy LP23). The policy aims to ensure new development provides sufficient cycle and car parking by meeting the minimum and maximum parking standards outlined in the London Plan, Chapter 6 "London's Transport". Section 6A.8 of the London Plan states that there are no maximum standards set for hotels but In locations with a PTAL of 4 –6 (this site has a PTAL rating of 5), on-site provision should be limited to operational needs, parking for disabled people and that required for taxis, coaches and deliveries/servicing.
To further encourage a modal shift away from the private car to more sustainable forms of transport, provision of cycle parking in new developments will be actively encouraged. Secure accessible and sheltered cycle parking should be provided in accordance with the London Plan. Section 6A.13 of the London Plan states that short-stay cycle parking should be available for visitors with step-free access within 15 metres of the main entrance.
For both long-stay and short-stay parking, consideration should be given to providing spaces accessible to less conventional bicycle types, such as tricycles, cargo bicycles and bicycles with trailers.
It is recommended that supporting facilities are provided at land uses where long stay cyclists require them, i.e. places of employment. Supporting facilities include lockers, showers and changing rooms.
5.2 On-Site Parking – Cars
The hotel provides 4 on-site car parking spaces which can be used by guests. There is 1 on-site parking space available for staff, although no staff currently travel to work by car.
5.3 Street Parking – Cars
The area outside the hotel is not in a controlled parking zone and parking permits are not required for street parking. Northbrook Road is unmetered parking with several free to park bays opposite the hotel. The street does have single yellow lines which indicate restrictions on waiting and parking times in accordance with signage attached to a nearby lamppost. At the time of writing, no such signage was present on Northbrook Road, however it is assumed that parking restrictions will most likely apply between 8:00am and 6:00pm.

6 Transport Data & Opportunities for Sustainable Travel
6.1 PTAL
The Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) is a detailed and accurate measure of the accessibility of a site to the public transport network, taking into account walk access time and service availability. The method is essentially a way of measuring the density of the public transport network at any location within Greater London. A grade between 1 and 6 is given, including subdivisions 1a, 1b and 6a and 6b, where 6a and b is excellent, 5 is very good, 4 is good, 3 is moderate, 2 is poor and 1a and b is very poor. The PTAL score for this site is level 5 which is classed as "very good". See Appendix C for PTAL calculator results.

7 Scope of the Plan
7.1 The existing hotel premises at No 24 Northbrook Road provides 11 guest rooms and employs 5 people and there is parking for up to 4 cars for guests at the front of the building.
7.2 Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC)
7.3 The TPC will be responsible for implementing, progressing, promoting and monitoring the Parking & Travel Plan and their appointment is critical to the success of the Plan.
7.4 The TPC will advise staff on sustainable travel options and keep them informed of all changes to services available.
7.5 The TPC will give specific advice to hotel guests on sustainable travel to and from the site and for journeys during their stay. The data on notice boards displayed in reception areas should be changed as appropriate. Real time public transport data should be displayed on digital screens to update automatically if possible.
7.6 The TPC will be responsible for keeping the Parking & Travel Plan under review and when any modification is necessary, will notify users of changes to the plan as appropriate and make any amendments required to keep the Plan up to date.
7.7 The TPC will monitor the travel modes used by building users using Travel Pattern Surveys. The building occupiers should undertake staff travel surveys annually. The first scheduled survey should be within 3 months of the date of the Parking &Travel Plan.
7.8 The TPC's role will be:
• Implementation and day to day running of the Parking & Travel Plan; • Consult, where appropriate, with the relevant stakeholders including Transport for London; • Market/communicate the Travel Plan to staff, visitors and guests • Review and monitor the Travel Plan, including undertaking regular travel surveys.

8 Aims and Objectives
8.1 Aims
8.2 The aim of the plan is to encourage more sustainable modes of transport for all building users including staff, guests and visitors with the objective of raising awareness of the Parking & Travel Plan in order to reduce car usage when travelling to the site.
8.3 Research both in the UK and internationally has evaluated the impact of travel planning on commuter travel patterns and considered the success factors for reducing car use. In 2002, a DfT study “Making travel plans work: lessons from UK case studies” examined the achievements of travel plans from 20 UK organisations. It found that on average an 18% reduction in the proportion of commuters driving to their sites had been achieved in the wake of a Travel Plan being implemented.
8.4 Reported benefits of travel plans include a reduction in congestion, relieved parking pressure, making sites more accessible and improving travel choice. Travel plans have become an important component of national and local strategies to reduce traffic and cut CO2 emissions, contributing to climate change.
8.5 Objectives
The objectives of the Parking & Travel Plan are as follows:
• Encourage site users to adopt sustainable travel habits and reduce single occupancy car use • Support public transport use and encourage walking and cycling • Minimise car traffic generated by the development • Monitor travel patterns to and from the site and develop the Parking & Travel Plan accordingly
P a g e | 17 May 2018 Parking & Travel Plan 24 Northbrook Road, Ilford, IG1 3BS
9 Targets
9.1 Travel Patterns
9.2 A travel pattern survey has been conducted for all current staff members of the hotel to provide the targets of the Travel Plan:
Travel Pattern Travel Pattern 2023 Mode Survey Data Survey % Target Maintain existing Driving/passenger car or van 0 0% levels Public transport - Maintain existing 0 0% underground/train/bus levels Maintain existing Cycling 1 20% levels Maintain existing Walking 4 80% levels
9.3 Given the data from the staff Travel Pattern Survey, the Parking & Travel plan should aim to maintain these levels over a 5 year timeframe.
9.4 A Travel Pattern survey should now be conducted for guests and visitors using the hotel, taking account of journeys at the start and end of the visit and also journeys taken during their stay. An example is provided within the Appendix A of this report.
9.5 The peak occupancy period for the hotel is April to October and the survey should be undertaken within the first peak period following approval.

10 Measures
10.1 Commitment to Implementing Initiatives and Measures
The Parking &Travel Plan represents a commitment to implementing the following measures:
10.2 Public Transport
The following measures will be considered to encourage use of public transport:
a) Public transport and discounted tickets information available on website pages for staff, guests and visitors.
b) Inform all building users about travel planning websites such as Transport for London https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/ to raise awareness of travelling options.
10.3 Cycling
Riding a bike can be the fastest method of transport for many journeys in cities, especially on congested routes.
10.4 Cycle Parking
10.5 The provision of cycle parking encourages a healthy and more sustainable alternative to the car. The London Borough of Redbridge policy LP23 "Cycle and Car Parking" provides the starting point for determining parking standards, taking account of local circumstances. Policy LP23 and the London Plan state that hotels should provide 1 long stay cycle space per 20 bedrooms and 1 short stay cycle space per 50 bedrooms. The cycle parking should be secure, accessible and sheltered The existing hotel currently provides secure cycle storage for 6 cycles.
10.6 For both long-stay and short-stay parking, consideration should be given to providing spaces accessible to less conventional bicycle types, such as tricycles, cargo bicycles and bicycles with trailers.
10.7 Supporting Facilities
The London Plan recommends that supporting facilities are provided at developments where long stay cyclists require them, i.e. places of employment. Supporting facilities include lockers, showers and changing rooms.
10.8 In addition, cycle route maps and information should be available on the website and in reception areas.
P a g e | 19 May 2018 Parking & Travel Plan 24 Northbrook Road, Ilford, IG1 3BS
10.9 Walking
Walking can be the most convenient method of transport for short journeys particularly as part of a multi modal journey for example when travelling by bus. It also has health benefits for keeping fit.
10.10 The following measures will be considered to encourage walking:
a) Provision of appropriate, well lit, safe entrances to the hotel
b) Provision of a designated area for changing, including lockers
c) Promotional events and literature to emphasise health benefits. Information can be found online including:
1. http://walkit.com/cities/london/
2. http://www.mapmywalk.com/gb/london-eng/
3. https://www.walkingforhealth.org.uk/
d) Distribution of walking route map handouts or displays on the Travel Information Board located in the building reception area, including details of pedestrian routes and good quality footways to and from key destinations. The map should also show the distances and journey times to the key destinations, such as food shops and transport interchanges e.g. bus stops and train stations.
e) The measures will be marketed through the use of posters, leaflets, notice boards and website
f) Promotion of 'MoveGB' a web-based fitness campaign to encourage staff to exercise more https://www.movegb.com/move-more/islington
10.11 Marketing & Promotion
There are a number of measures which can be used to ensure building users are aware of their role in achieving the aims of the Parking & Travel Plan:
a) Regularly raise awareness of sustainable travel options to staff via website pages.
b) Communicate the results of the annual travel survey (and feedback) and reinforce the travel plan activities.
c) Display travel information on digital screens if possible, or on a notice board.
