The site location is shown on Figure 1.1 . 1.2 Planning consent has been granted for 105; two, three, four and five bedroom; residential dwellings, of which 42% will be affordable units (44 dwellings), access and public open space (including childrens play areas) and associated parking on-site infrastructure. A site masterplan is contained in Appendix 1 . 1.3 The site-wide proposal for Fyfield Business Park will provide a small retail unit (140 sqm), two sports pitches and will retain the existing café and crèche and 4,622 sqm of B1 office floorspace. 1.4 SMA has been appointed by Bovis Homes Limited (the Developer) to prepare the Final Travel Plan Statement for the residential development and to provide and implement the Residential Travel Information Packs, in line with Planning Condition 15, to help promote a sustainable development, which encourages use of modes other than private car. 1.5 Planning Condition 15 states: Prior to first occupation of the proposed development, the Developer shall be responsible for the provision and implementation of a Residential Travel Information Pack for sustainable transport, approved by Essex County Council, to include six one day travel vouchers for use with the relevant local public transport operator . Site Description 1.6 The development is located at Fyfield Business Park, on the B184, Fyfield Road, approximately 1,300 metres north of Chipping Ongar (B184, Fyfield Road / A414, Chelmsford Road roundabout). 1.7 The development is bound by the B184, Fyfield Road / Ongar Road along the western boundary of the site. To the north are offices, which are part of Fyfield Business Park, including a café and a crèche. To the south and east of the site is farmland. STUART MICHAEL ASSOCIATES 3 5595 Fyfield Business Park, Chipping Ongar, Essex Residential Travel Plan Statement Bovis Homes Limited 1.8 The site will be accessed via a new three-arm roundabout to the north of the existing priority controlled junction along the B184, Fyfield Road. This access solution was agreed as part of the consented scheme, which would see the existing priority controlled T-junction closed, albeit retained for access to two cottages, known as Boarded Barns Cottages, and as an emergency access to the proposed residential development. 1.9 The proposed development makes provision for pedestrians by including a pedestrian link from the site into Chipping Ongar to the south. This facility will be an approximately 700m long and generally 2m wide footway alongside the B184, Fyfield Road. There are sections which will be less than 2m wide due to physical constraints and the limit of the public highway. ( Figure 3.2 ). 1.10 Chipping Ongar has a number of local facilities located within 2km walking distance south of the site. This includes Ongar Primary School, The Ongar Academy, Ongar Health Centre, Ongar Leisure Centre, a Nisa convenience store, a restaurant and a fish-and-chips take-away shop. The Travel Plan 1.11 Moving into a new home provides an opportunity to establish new patterns of travel behaviour from the outset. The implementation of the Travel Plan aims to deliver a number of measures to ensure there is priority towards making new developments sustainable from the outset. 1.12 A series of measures will be implemented by the TPC and promoted to residents. These will encourage and incentivise sustainable travel choices, notably through the distribution of a Travel Information Pack (TIP). The TIP provides a key source of communication with residents, providing an overview of all available travel options, route maps and promotional measures. 1.13 This Travel Plan Statement has been prepared with reference to Essex County Councils (ECC) Guidance Notes for Residential Travel Plan for New Residential Developments. Reference has also been made to wider national guidance, best practice and SMAs extensive experience in the preparation and implementation of Travel Plans. STUART MICHAEL ASSOCIATES 4 5595 Fyfield Business Park, Chipping Ongar, Essex Residential Travel Plan Statement Bovis Homes Limited Assessment Methodology 1.14 In preparation of this Travel Plan document, the following methodology has been undertaken: Desktop research of national and local policy requirements; Assessment of the current and proposed infrastructure works to facilitate travel on foot, cycle and public transport to/from the development; A review of existing public transport provision, timetable information, bus routes and rail services; Consideration of appropriate measures in encourage modal shift away from the private car and towards the use of foot, cycle and public transport. 1.15 The remainder of this document sets out the strategy for the delivery of the various Travel Plan measures to be implemented. This strategy aims to raise awareness of the sustainable travel choices available to residents to encourage a shift from single occupancy car use. STUART MICHAEL ASSOCIATES 5 5595 Fyfield Business Park, Chipping Ongar, Essex Residential Travel Plan Statement Bovis Homes Limited 2.0 PLANNING POLICY AND GUIDANCE 2.1 As a consequence of the increasing pressures on the transport network and a national focus on climate change the Government has identified the need for sustainable development. By definition Sustainable development seeks to achieve, Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (ref: The Brundtland Commission, 1987). 2.2 New developments present the opportunity to change existing travel patterns and behaviours, with Travel Plans acting as an important mechanism to assist with promoting sustainable travel patterns from new developments. 2.3 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), March 2012, is centred on a presumption in favour of sustainable development (ref: para 14) seeking to deliver development that meets the needs of the local area. 2.4 The NPPF considers that transport policies have an important role to play in facilitating sustainable development

  • Local Air Quality - Vehicle Emissions
    Report to Stronger Place Select Committee Date of meeting: 9 December 2019 Portfolio: Commercial & Regulatory Services (Councillor A. Patel) Subject: Local Air Quality - Vehicle Emissions Officer contact for further information: J. Nolan (01992 564083) Democratic Services Officer: V. Messenger (01992 564265) Recommendations/Decisions Required: That the Committee note the position with regard to the enforcement of current legislation relating to air quality. 1. This report explains the role and responsibilities that officers have in respect of air pollution caused by vehicle emissions as requested by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee at its meeting on 16 July 2019. This covers monitoring, enforcement and education and awareness. 2. Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) places a statutory requirement on local authorities to assess their districts and identify areas of elevated air pollution. This is a staged approach designed to be reviewed yearly to ensure that any changes, such as new developments and changes to traffic are considered and reviewed appropriately. 3. Under Local Air Quality Management, the Public Health Team are responsible for monitoring Air Quality and identifying areas in the district of elevated air pollution. Where elevated concentrations are identified, the Council must declare an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) and put in place the required actions to bring about a reduction in concentrations to below the objective level in the shortest possible time period. These actions are published in an Air Quality Action Plan document which is submitted to DEFRA for approval and which form the basis of strategic decisions informed by the Local Plan. Whilst the Council will want to improve air quality throughout the district generally, the purpose of the Air Quality Action Plan is to bring about the necessary improvements to air quality within the AQMAs.
