Barnfield Construction Ltd Sandygate Square, Burnley Framework Travel Plan Introduction 1.1 Preamble 1.1.1 Mode Transport Planning (‘Mode’) has been appointed by Barnfield Construction Ltd (the ‘Client’) to provide transport planning advice to support a planning application for student accommodation on Sandygate in Burnley. 1.1.2 The student accommodation will deliver 136 rooms over three floors, with c.300sqm of mixed retail on the ground and lower ground floors. Car Parking (6 spaces) and cycle storage will be provided on the lower ground floor. Vehicular access to the parking spaces will be provided from Neptune Street. 1.1.3 As requested by Lancashire County Council (LCC) Highways, this Framework Travel Plan (FTP) has been prepared as part of the planning application documentation and should be read in conjunction with the Transport Statement. 1.2 Overview of the Travel Planning Process 1.2.1 A Travel Plan provides a strategy for managing travel demand and involves a dynamic process of implementation, monitoring and review to ensure that it is sustainable over the long-term. The underlying aim of any TP is to minimise the number of single occupancy private car trips generated by a development, by encouraging a shift to more sustainable modes of transport, as a result mitigating the impact of travel. 1.2.2 A successful TP needs to follow a four-stage process as shown in Figure 1.1. Figure 1.1: Travel Plan Process 1.2.3 This FTP forms the starting point in the TP process by providing the following: modetransport.co.uk | February 2019 1 Barnfield Construction Ltd Sandygate Square, Burnley Framework Travel Plan • Details of the provision for cyclists, pedestrians, and public transport users; • An example toolkit of sustainable travel measures; • Potential milestone targets that could be developed for on-going implementation; and • A strategy for ongoing monitoring and review would be developed and this would include the appointment of a designated Travel Plan Co-ordinator (TPC) who would take on specific responsibility for progressing and reviewing the uptake of measures. 1.2.4 The key objectives of the TP will be taken forward by a TPC who will seek to: • Reduce the need to travel by car to and from the site; • Promote the health and cost benefits of cycling, walking and using public transport; • Promote the cost benefits of car sharing; • Provide clear information to residents on sustainable modes of travel to and from the site; and • Provide information to residents on the alternative sustainable modes of travel. 1.3 Report Structure 1.3.1 The remainder of this FTP is set out as follows: • Section 2 considers the FTP in the context of policy and guidance; • Section 3 reviews the exiting conditions of the site; • Section 4 outlines the development proposals; • Section 5 describes the sustainable accessibility of the site; • Section 6 presents a toolkit of potential measures / initiatives that will be implemented for the proposed development; and • Section 7 identifies TP targets and the process for monitoring and reviewing the TP. modetransport.co.uk | February 2019 2 Barnfield Construction Ltd Sandygate Square, Burnley Framework Travel Plan Policy Context 2.1 National Planning Policy Framework 2.1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework 2018 (NPPF) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied, stating that all developments that generate significant amounts of movement should be supported by a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment, alongside a Travel Plan. In line with the NPPF this planning application is supported by a Transport Assessment and Framework Travel Plan. 2.1.2 Paragraph 108 states that “it should be ensured that appropriate opportunities to promote sustainable transport modes can be – or have been – taken up, given the type of development and its location”. 2.1.3 Paragraph 110 states that “development should give priority first to pedestrian and cycle movements, both within the scheme and neighbouring areas; and second – so far as possible – to facilitating access to high quality public transport”. 2.1.4 Paragraph 111 states that “all developments which generate significant amounts of movement should be required to provide a Travel Plan”. 2.2 Delivering Travel Plans Through the Planning Process 2.2.1 In April 2009 the DfT published “Good Practice Guidelines: Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process”. Although now superseded by the Planning Practice Guidance in 2017, the guidelines are still a valuable tool with detailed information, good practice and case studies presented in a user-friendly document. 2.2.2 The guidelines improve understanding of how to make use of the planning process in ensuring the effective implementation of TPs. The application of the case studies has been acknowledged within the presented FTP to maximise the deliverability of sustainable transport initiatives and encouraging a modal split which reduces the dependency on single occupancy vehicular trips. 2.2.3 The guidelines make clear following core requirements for any TP: • Defining specific aims and objectives; • Proposing hard (infrastructure) and soft (management) initiatives; • Establishing realistic targets relevant to the baseline conditions; and • The need for on-going monitoring and review. 2.2.4 This guidance stresses the importance of a partnership approach, between the developer and the Local Authority, in respect of the successful delivery of TPs. modetransport.co.uk | February 2019 3 Barnfield Construction Ltd Sandygate Square, Burnley Framework Travel Plan Existing Site Conditions 3.1 Site Location and Existing Use 3.1.1 As shown in Figure 3.1, the site is located off Sandygate approximately 500m to the west of Burnley Town Centre. Figure 3.1: Site Location Plan 3.1.2 The development site is bound by Wiseman Street to the north, Neptune Street to the east and Sandygate to the south. The site is abutted to the west by the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. 3.1.3 The proposed development faces onto a new area of public realm improvements. 3.2 Local Highway Network 3.2.1 The location of the site in the context of the local highway network is shown in Figure 3.2. modetransport.co.uk | February 2019 4 Barnfield Construction Ltd Sandygate Square, Burnley Framework Travel Plan Figure 3.2: Local Highway Network Plan Wiseman Street 3.2.2 Wiseman Street comprises a c.5.7m two-way single carriageway, providing access to the adjacent buildings.

  • Pendle Community High School & College CHRISTMAS NEWSLETTER
    Pendle Community High School & College CHRISTMAS NEWSLETTER We are nearly at the end of our very long first term of the academic year. In many ways the time appears to have flown by since I first took over the reins in September, yet on the other hand there has been so much we have achieved. It has been such a privilege to spend time getting to know the 75 staff, 120 students and many parents/carers and associated professionals who work alongside the school and college. I think I have almost learned everyone’s first names, although still occasionally struggle with the odd surname here and there! One of the most enjoyable parts of being a headteacher is to be able to spend time in classes, and have been delighted to have observed really effective teaching and learning take place for all our students. It has also been a privilege to see students engage in wider curricular activities such as Scouts, Erasmus+ planning (international project), yachting and other sporting activities, not to mention the wide and varied educational visits, all providing even wider learning opportunities . Now we are embarking upon all our Christmas events and activities, a magical time of year with so much fun and excitement in school and college. To all our staff, students, parents/carers, governors and everybody else connected with this amazing school, can I take this opportunity to thank you for all your support and wish you a very peaceful Christmas and a happy new year. Best wishes one and all Chris Lingard Noticeboard Adverse Weather As we are approaching the winter months it is time to prepare for adverse weather.

    ITEM NO REPORT TO EXECUTIVE DATE 10th December 2013 PORTFOLIO Resources REPORT AUTHOR Andrew Leah TEL NO 01282 477149 EMAIL [email protected] ASSET MANAGEMENT – PUBLIC TOILET PROVISION PURPOSE 1. To report on current provision of toilet facilities in the Borough and outline proposals for future action. RECOMMENDATION 2. That Executive approve the closure of the public toilets at Colne Road (Queensgate) adjacent to the bus depot, Briercliffe Road adjacent to the hospital, East Street in Hapton and reduced opening hours for the toilets at Padiham Town Hall. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION 3. To promote the ongoing review and rationalisation of toilet provision across the Borough to reduce costs. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS 4. The Council last reviewed toilet provision in April 2004 following which a number of the less well used and inadequate toilet blocks, Accrington Road, Manchester Road, Thursfield Road, Lee Street, Cliviger and Duke Street (Harle Syke) were closed. 5. Since this time the Council has concentrated upon providing modern accessible toilet accommodation in the most heavily used locations. Examples include the new toilet blocks at Towneley Hall, Memorial Park, improvements to facilities at Queens Park and Burnley Bus Station. 6. Despite this investment there remain a number of old, outdated and inappropriately located conveniences where problems exist both in respect of inappropriate use and vandalism. 7. T oilets in parks are managed by Green Spaces and their use and development therefore needs to be considered in the context of their setting within the park, public usage of the same and the use of adjoining facilities such as bowling greens and http://sharepoint/CEO/Democracy/Executive/10-12-2013/PUBLIC TOILETS.doc tennis courts.
