Briefly, the application comprises a change of use of the existing Tramway’s Working Men’s Club to residential development comprising approximately 35 units. The proposals are set out in further detail at section 4, and demonstrated on the drawings provided at Appendix A. 1.2 Purpose of this Report Given the quantum and nature of the development proposals, and that the former use on the site generated some vehicular traffic, a detailed Transport Assessment is not considered to be necessary as part of the planning application. Instead, this Transport Statement has been prepared to describe the proposals and provide the information necessary for the City of York Council (CoYC) as the Local Planning Authority and Highway Authority to determine the planning application. 1.3 Structure of this Report The Transport Statement is structured as follows: • Chapter 2 describes the existing situation of the site, providing an audit of the present transport network including pedestrian and cycle facilities, public transport provision and the local highway network. • Chapter 3 summarises the local and national planning and transport policy context for the development site. • Chapter 4 outlines the development proposals and how the site will be accessed by all modes of transport. • Chapter 5 summarises and concludes the report. 1 Oakgate Group Ltd 3877 ▪ St George’s Terrace, Mill Street ▪ Transport Statement 24 February 2021 ▪ Version 0.1 ▪ 2 Existing Situation This chapter outlines the development site and the present transport network that surrounds it, describing the opportunities to access the site by all modes of travel. 2.1 Site Location The site is located adjacent to Mill Street, to the south of York’s main historic core in the city centre. The site is currently occupied by the Tramways Working Men’s Club, with vehicular access taken directly from Mill Street. The site is bound by Mill Street to the north, George Street to the east, and St George’s Church cemetery to the south. and the Holiday Inn York City Centre and York County Court to the west. The location of the site is shown on Figure 1. 2.2 Pedestrian Access 2.2.1 Pedestrian Catchment and Services Although walking distances vary between individuals and circumstances, standard distances that are often used to describe short, medium and long walks are 0.5km, 1.0km and 2.0km respectively1. Figure 2 presents an isochrone for the walking distance thresholds, measured from the site access, assuming designated footways / footpaths are used. This demonstrates that the wide range of local amenities and destinations within the city centre would be conveniently accessible for most people on foot from the site. Key amenities located within the 2.0km catchment are shown in Figure 2, demonstrating that the site is well located for walking due to being in the city centre. 2.2.2 Pedestrian Facilities Pedestrian infrastructure in the immediate vicinity of the site comprises the following: • On all roads in the vicinity of the site, footways are adjacent to both sides. • To the north of the site, a short shared pedestrian / cycle route runs along Dixons Lane between George Street and Piccadilly. 1 Guidelines for Providing Journeys On Foot, Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, 2000, p49. 2 Oakgate Group Ltd 3877 ▪ St George’s Terrace, Mill Street ▪ Transport Statement 24 February 2021 ▪ Version 0.1 ▪ • To the north, the Fossgate pedestrian and cycle zone begins / ends at the Walmgate / Merchantgate junction, with vehicles restricted from 08:00 to 18:00 except for access. • Most crossings on the road network are informal and uncontrolled in character, with dropped kerbs, tactile paving, and adjacent footways. Signalised crossings are provided: • At the A1036 Fishergate / A1036 Paragon Street junction, signalised crossings with tactile paving and road markings are present on all three arms with a central refuse island that connects all the crossings. • At the A1036 Paragon Street / A1036 south / George St (Fishergate Bar) junction, signalised crossings with tactile paving and road markings are present on all arms, except for on the A1036 Paragon Street west arm for vehicles turning right onto A1036 south. On this arm, a zebra crossing with tactile paving and road marking is present. A refuge island connects all the crossings. • At the A1036 Barbican Road / A1036 Foss Islands Road / A1079 Lawrence Street / Walmgate (Walmgate Bar) junction, signalised crossings with tactile paving and road markings are present on the A1036 Barbican Road, A1036 Foss Islands and A1079 Lawrence Street arms, with refuge islands where necessary. 2.3 Cycle Access An 8.0km cycling isochrone from the site is demonstrated in Figure 3, a distance that is generally accepted for people willing to commute to work by cycle2. Based on this distance, the isochrone demonstrates that the York urban area and the surrounding towns and villages of Bishopthorpe, Copmanthorpe, Dunnington, Fulford, Heslington, Huntington, Nether Poppleton, Rawcliffe and Stockton-on-the-Forest can all be accessed within the catchment. Cycle facilities in the immediate vicinity of the site include: • As described in section 2.2.2, a short shared-use route is available on Dixons Lane between George Street and Piccadilly, with the Fossgate pedestrian and cycle zone available from the Walmgate / Merchantgate junction. • On A1036 Paragon Street, shared-use pedestrian / cycleways are present on the southern side of the carriageway between the A1036 Paragon Street / A1036 Barbican Road and A1036 Paragon Street / A1036 south / George St (Fishergate Bar) junctions. At the A1036 Paragon Street / A1036 south / George St (Fishergate Bar) junction, 2 ‘Integrating Cycling Into Development Proposals’, Cycling England, 2009, p4. 3 Oakgate Group Ltd 3877 ▪ St George’s Terrace, Mill Street ▪ Transport Statement 24 February 2021 ▪ Version 0.1 ▪ advanced stop lines are provided on the A1036 Paragon Street east arm. An additional shared use route is provided between A1036 Paragon Street and Kent Street that runs adjacent to the eastern side of the York Barbican. • At the A1036 Barbican Road / A1036 Foss Islands Road / A1079 Lawrence Street / Walmgate (Walmgate Bar) junction, advanced stop lines are available on every lane of all four arms. Several long-distance marked cycle routes are also within the cycle catchment. The following routes can be accessed as follows: • National Cycle Route 658 connects Route 65 at the Scarborough Rail Bridge to the north-west of the site, to Route 66 at Tang Hall Lane. • National Cycle Route 65 runs through York city centre and connects to Selby to the south and Nether Poppleton to the north-west. The route can be accessed on Terry Avenue via Skeldergate Bridge, to the west of the site. • National Cycle Route 66 connects Route 65 at the Millennium Bridge to the south- west of the site, to Route 658 at Tang Hall Lane via The University of York campus. From Tang Hall Lane, the route continues east towards Dunnington and Stamford Bridge. • National Cycle Route 665 can be accessed of Route 65, adjacent to the A64, to the south-west of the site. The route connects Bishopthorpe to Wetherby via Tadcaster. 2.4 Public Transport The site is currently well served by several bus stops that are located within 400m of the site access, a distance that is generally accepted for new developments3. The location of bus stops, and routes are shown on Figure 4, with a summary of the services available in the vicinity of the site outlined in Table 1. This demonstrates that a range of services, providing regular and high frequency links within the York district and regional destinations can be conveniently accessed from the development. 3 ‘Planning for Public Transport in Developments, Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation, 1999, p.11. 4 Oakgate Group Ltd 3877 ▪ St George’s Terrace, Mill Street ▪ Transport Statement 24 February 2021 ▪ Version 0.1 ▪ Table 1: Bus Services and Frequency Approx.

    Poppleton Neighbourhood Plan Report on Consultation prior to pre‐ submission consultation November 2014 Part 5 Plan 4 Poppleton Report on the results of the questionnaire conducted between 31 October and 15 November 2014. The Poppleton Neighbourhood Planning Committee comprising two Parish Councillors from Upper Poppleton Vivien Crabb and Kathie Brydson, and two Parish Councillors from Nether Poppleton Edie Jones and Peter Powell, compiled and distributed to every household in the villages including Poppleton Park. A total of 1700 questionnaires were distributed, with respondents returning the completed questionnaire to a number of convenient collection points in the villages, including Manor Academy and Ousebank Primary school, the library, Post Office, Community Centre and Cardland, (the local paper shop). A total of 528 completed questionnaires were returned and analysed, some were for households and others indicated that individuals within the household had responded independently. This puts the total respondents at 33% of the village houshold. In general there was a high level satisfaction with the villages as a safe, and friendly environment with a complete set of amenities, good connection to the City of York and most importantly in a green countryside environment. The questionnaire was designed to meet the challenge, of not just building homes, but to ensure that communities are developed which enhance the quality of life for both new residents and existing communities. The survey produced an impressive response and is statistically representative of the population as a whole of Rural West Ward in York when stratified by age. Data has been obtained at a 95% confidence level and has less than a 5% margin of error.

NUMBER: Working Paper ITLS-WP-19-05 TITLE: Collaboration as a service (CaaS) to fully integrate public transportation – lessons from long distance travel to reimagine Mobility as a Service Integrated mobility aims to improve multimodal integration to ABSTRACT: make public transport an attractive alternative to private transport. This paper critically reviews extant literature and current public transport governance frameworks of both macro and micro transport operators. Our aim is to extent the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), a proposed coordination mechanism for public transport that in our view is yet to prove its commercial viability and general acceptance. Drawing from the airline experience, we propose that smart ticketing systems, providing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) can be extended with governance and operational processes that enhance their ability to facilitate Collaboration-as-a-Service (CaaS) to offer a reimagined MaaS 2.0 = CaaS + SaaS. Rather than using the traditional MaaS broker, CaaS incorporates operators more fully and utilises their commercial self-interest to deliver commercially viable and attractive integrated public transport solutions to consumers. This would also facilitate more collaboration of private sector operators into public transport with potentially new opportunities for taxi/rideshare/bikeshare operators and cross geographical transport providers (i.e.

The VDS reinforces the need for anyone considering any type of development to undertake a proper assessment of the character of the surrounding built and natural environment, and to take account of defining characteristics, building traditions and materials. Design and layout appropriate for one setting may not be acceptable in another. This particularly applies to Poppleton with its varied building and landscape characteristics. The history, settlement pattern and visual characteristics of the villages and surrounding landscape are described, and the qualities that make them unique and special are emphasised. In particular, there is a strong and thriving community spirit, which is highly valued by local residents.

  • Dewsbury Station Plan
    Station Travel Plan - Dewsbury Introduction What is a Station Travel Plan? The Department for Transport defines a Station Travel Plan as: “A strategy for managing the travel generated by your organisation, with the aim of reducing its environmental impact, typically involving support for walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing”. TransPennine Express maintains Station Travel Plans for all 19 stations where they are currently the Station Facility Owner (SFO). Why Develop a Station Travel Plan? Up until March 2020 demand for rail continued to grow, with more and more people choosing to travel by rail each year. It is predicted that, post the COVID-19 pandemic, within the next 30 years demand for rail will more than double. TransPennine Express is at the heart of this growth, with double digit percentage growth in passenger journeys year on year, with a doubling of customer numbers since the franchise was established in 2004. With growth of this magnitude, it is important that alongside investing in new trains, operating more services and enhancing the customer experience, we are considerate of how customers travel to and from the station to access the railway network. Against the landscape of a changing culture towards private transport, with many millennials choosing not to own a car, and instead adopt solutions such as Uber, dockless bike hire and car sharing schemes, a Station Travel Plan allows operators to identify the developments which are required to keep pace with society. It also allows us to identify key areas of change, with the evident shift from internal combustion to electric cars and hybrids, we are able to set out plans for providing the infrastructure to support this shift.
