WSP have been appointed by Pendragon Estate Developments Ltd to provide highways and transportation planning support with respect to their planning application for residential development at Glossop Road, Gamesley (High Peak, Derbyshire). 1.1.2. This Framework Travel Plan (FTP) is submitted in support of the proposed development. 1.2 SITE LOCATION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.2.1. The site is located approximately 20km east of Manchester City Centre. As shown by Figure 1 it is south of Glossop Road, adjacent to the Hadfield – Glossop railway line. Figure 1 – Site Location Plan 1.2.2. The site currently comprises open fields and agricultural land, and industrial units of the former Samas Roneo warehouse vacated in 2002. 1.2.3. It is proposed that the plot be developed to comprise approximately 155 dwellings (119 houses and 36 apartments) with vehicular access via a priority junction with Glossop Road, approximately 75m west of Melandra Castle Road. 1.2.4. The architectural Masterplan and accommodation schedule prepared by JDA Architects are included at Appendix A. GLOSSOP ROAD, GAMESLEY WSP Project No.: 70043297 | Our Ref No.: 70043297-FTP April 2018 Pendragon Estate Developments Ltd Page 1 of 20 1.3 PURPOSE OF THE TRAVEL PLAN 1.3.1. A Travel Plan is a site-specific strategy and action plan for managing multi-modal access and travel to a site of development which focuses on promoting travel by sustainable and active modes of transport. Travel Plans are concerned with changing the travel behaviours of site users to reduce the length and number of motorised journeys and increase travel by walking, cycling, and public transport. 1.3.2. This FTP is a site-specific plan for the proposed development south of Glossop Road, Gamesley, which outlines the following: Methods proposed to reduce the number of residents travelling to and from the site by car; Timescales for surveying residential travel patterns during the first three months of the development and thereafter; and The measures that will be used to monitor the effectiveness of the Travel Plan in its objective to reduce the volume of private car trips to the site. 1.4 TYPE OF TRAVEL PLAN 1.4.1. In reference to ‘Good Practice Guidelines: Delivering Travel Plans Through The Planning Process’ (GPG) by the Department for Transport (DfT, 2009), there are five types of Travel Plans, which include full, interim, framework, statement, and area-wide plans. 1.4.2. A Framework Travel Plan (FTP) is appropriate for the proposed development given that it is predominantly a residential development. New residents arising from the development proposals cannot be surveyed at this time to determine the baseline accessibility requirements, as individuals and their potential travel patterns are currently unknown. 1.4.3. It is proposed that this FTP will be extended to a Full Travel Plan following site occupation. This FTP outlines the majority of the requirements of a Full Travel Plan and the commitment of Pendragon Estate Developments Ltd to assist in delivering an effective Full Travel Plan for the site. 1.4.4. Residential Travel Plans are defined in the GPG as being focused on: “Travel by residents in housing developments. They are different from ‘destination’ travel plans in that they are designed to encourage more sustainable travel from the origin of journeys and across the full range of journey purposes. Residential travel plans place a strong emphasis on the choice of location and on the design of the development to reduce the need to travel. This can be achieved through the provision of local facilities and by ensuring high levels of connectivity with good public transport. Residential travel plans may also incorporate personalised travel planning i.e. customised travel advice and incentives to help individual households travel more sustainably, as well as car clubs and improved public transport; Travel awareness is integrated into the marketing and occupation of the site.” 1.5 TRAVEL PLAN STRUCTURE 1.5.1. This FTP presents the policy framework for Travel Plans, the baseline transport and travel conditions on the highway network in the surrounding area and those likely to be generated by the development of the site. It covers the following sections: Chapter 2 – Policy Framework; Chapter 3 – Benefits of a Travel Plan; Chapter 4 – Current Site Conditions and Accessibility; Chapter 5 – Trip Generation; Chapter 6 – Outcome Objectives and Target Indicators; Chapter 7 – Travel Plan Management; Chapter 8 – Travel Plan Measures; Chapter 9 – Communication and Marketing Strategy; Chapter 10 – Monitoring and Review Strategy; and Chapter 11 – Conclusion. WSP GLOSSOP ROAD, GAMESLEY April 2018 Project No.: 70043297 | Our Ref No.: 70043297-FTP Page 2 of 20 Pendragon Estate Developments Ltd 2 POLICY FRAMEWORK 2.1 OVERVIEW 2.1.1. As advocated by the GPG, Travel Plans should contain measures that are a combination of ‘hard measures’ and ‘soft measures’. Hard measures include improvements to highway design, infrastructure, and facilities both on and off site, such as the creation of new footways, bus stops, or cycle parking. 2.1.2. Soft measures, taken from ‘The Influence of Soft Factor Interventions on Travel Demand’ (DfT, 2004) can be defined as residential, workplace, school, and personalised Travel Plans, public transport marketing, and travel awareness campaigns. 2.1.3. This section highlights the importance of Travel Plans as a soft measure in the integrated transport and spatial planning policy framework which underpins this FTP for the proposed development at Glossop Road. 2.2 NATIONAL POLICY NATIONAL PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK (DCLG, 2012) 2.2.1. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published in March 2012 with a core focus on streamlining the overall development planning process. The NPPF outlines that a key tool to promote the use and provision of sustainable transport is through Travel Plans. The sustainable planning objectives concerning Travel Plans in the NPPF follow various DfT White Papers which outline the Governments’ approach to sustainable transport over a number of years. CREATING GROWTH, CUTTING CARBON: MAKING SUSTAINABLE LOCAL TRANSPORT HAPPEN (DFT, 2011) 2.2.2. This White Paper outlines the Government’s vision for “the national transport system which is an engine for economic growth, is also greener and safer and improves the quality of life in our communities”. The White Paper identifies that travel planning is included under the ‘smarter choices’ label to encourage people to make good choices in relation to using sustainable and active travel modes, 2.2.3.

ISSN 0417 0687 125 A SHORT LIFE OF I. CHARLES COX (by Canon Maudce Abbott, Ince Blundell Hall, Back O'Th Town Lane, Liverpool, L38 5JL) First impressions stay with us, they say; and ever since my school days when my parents took me with them on their frequent visits to old churches, I have maintained a constant interest in them. This became a lifelong pursuit on my 20th birthday, when my father gave me a copy of The Parish Churches ot' England by J. Charles Cox and Charles Bradley Ford. In his preface, written in March 1935, Mr Ford pointed out that Dr Cox's English Parish Church was lirsl published in 1914, and was the recognised handbook on its subiect. In time the book became out of print and it was felt that a revised edition would be appropriate, because Cox was somewhat discutsive in his writrng. The text was pruned and space made for the inclusion of a chapter on'Local Varieties in Design'. This was based on Cox's original notes on the subject and other sources. I found this book quite fascinating and as the years went by I began to purchase second-hand copies of Cox's works and eventually wanted to know more about the man himself.
