Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Background
1.1.1 Phil Jones Associates (PJA) have been commissioned by Classicstone Properties Ltd to prepare a Transport Statement (TS) to accompany an outline planning application for a residential development at 9 Easthampstead Road in Wokingham, Berkshire.
1.1.2 The development proposals to which this report refers are for the demolition of existing buildings at 9 Easthampstead Road and the erection of 27 residential units and two A2 retail units together with associated car parking and public realm improvements.
1.1.3 The purpose of this report is to assess the transport characteristics of the development site and surrounding area and identify the likely transport implications of the proposed scheme.
1.2 Scoping Correspondence
1.2.1 To confirm appropriate waste storage and refuse collection arrangements at the proposed development, scoping discussions have been undertaken with Peter Baveystock, the relevant Waste & Recycling Officer at WBC. PJA sent an email dated 06th July 2018 in which advice was sought regarding the proposals. PJ②①re ei ed①WBC s①respo se① ia①e ail①dated① th①Jul ① ①a d① following subsequent e-mail exchange has agreed in principle the following arrangements:
• Provision of 3 x 1100l bins for residual waste associated with the residential properties plus 100 litres per property per week for recycling – i.e. 11 x 240 litre blue wheeled bins; • Space will be made available for 15 x 23 litre food waste containers based on a 50% take up rate; • Getting someone to bring the waste out (i.e. Waste Management Company) is not sustainable; • In relation to carrying distance for waste operatives, 15m rather than the recommended 10m to the bin store was accepted by WBC.
1.2.2 PJA incorporated the above recommendations into the preparation of this TS. A copy of the correspondence with Peter Baveystock is attached in Appendix A for reference.

Policy Review
2 Policy Review
2.1.1 This section summarises the relevant national and regional policy framework with regard to the proposals and emphasises objectives to mitigate against likely transport impacts of the development. This TS report will demonstrate that the site provides adequate cycle facilities and allows for safe and easy access to public transport facilities. The sustainable location of the site will enable smarter travel choices of future residents and links the development to existing pedestrian and cycle infrastructure in the vicinity of the site.
2.2 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
2.2.1 The revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published on 24th July 2018 and sets out the government's planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. This revised Framework replaces the previous National Planning Policy Framework published in March 2012.
2.2.2 Paragraph 111 notes that all developments that will generate significant amounts of movement should be required to provide a travel plan, and the application should be supported by a transport state e t or tra sport assess e t so that the likel i pa ts of the proposal a e assessed.
2.2.3 Paragraph 108 of the NPPF that:
