1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 This Travel Plan (TP) has been prepared by Transport Planning Associates (TPA) on behalf of Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd to support the sustainable operation of the proposed redevelopment at 229-255, Kingston Road, New Malden to provide 297 residential units and 216 sq.m commercial space. Further to pre-application liaison with officers at Transport for London (TfL), this TP has been prepared to support the residential aspect of the proposals only.

1.2 This TP accompanies TPA report 1807-64/TA/01, which is the Transport Assessment prepared to support the redevelopment proposals.

1.3 The application site is bound by industrial units to the north, St Johns Lane to the east, Kingston Road to the south and Dickerage Lane to the west and is currently occupied by a Homebase retail store, associated car park and a public house. A site location plan is included as Figure 1.1 below.

Figure 1.1 – Site Location Plan

1.4 The proposals include 297 residential units in buildings ranging from four to seven storeys, with 216 sq.m commercial space at ground floor level, 124 car parking spaces and cycle parking. Vehicular access to the site is proposed at two locations on St Johns Road. The architect’s m asterplan has been included at Appendix A .

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 1 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

1.5 This TP has been prepared with reference to the following guidance documents as appropriate:

(i) Good Practice Guidelines, Delivering Travel Plans through Planning Process, published by DfT (2009); (ii) The Essential Guide to Travel Planning, published by DfT (2008); (iii) A Guide on Travel Plans for Developers (2006); (iv) National Planning Policy Framework (2019); (v) TfL Travel Planning Guidance (2013); and (vi) Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames Sustainable Transport SPD (2013).

1.6 The core aims of this TP are to:

(i) set out the scope and objectives of travel planning at the site; (ii) set out initiatives and measures to promote accessibility by non-car modes; (iii) set out modal share targets; (iv) set out the management requirements including the TPC role; and (v) set out requirements for monitoring and reviewing the TP.

2 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAVEL PLAN

Scope of the Travel Plan

2.1 Travel Plans present the opportunity to raise awareness of the consequences of travel choices, the benefits of alternatives and the opportunity to minimise the impact of motorised travel on the environment. A Travel Plan can bring the following benefits:

(i) to the individual - through improved health, reduced stress and cost savings; (ii) to the community - by the organisation and residents demonstrating commitment to environmental priorities and setting an example to others; and (iii) to the environment - through improved local air quality with less noise, dirt and fumes, which can contribute to other national and global improvements. 2.2 The TP is more than a document, it is a process that is managed and follows the classic management system process of ‘ Plan, Do, Review’ . I n this case it is termed “Plan, Implement, Monitor” and the process is illustrated in Plate 2.1 .

Plate 2.1 - The Travel Plan Process

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 3 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

Objectives of the Travel Plan

2.3 The following key objectives are identified:

i) to reduce the resident single occupancy car travel;

ii) to increase the use of public transport;

iii) to increase the use of walking and cycling; and

iv) to achieve a high awareness of the TP within one year following implementation.

2.4 An effective TP will be managed as a process, planned, implemented and monitored by:

· being site specific; every site is unique and the measures will be determined by the opportunities and constraints of the site itself, the provision of existing walking and cycling infrastructure and the existing public transport provision;

· providing a combination of hard measures (e.g. site design and improved sustainable infrastructure) and soft measures (e.g. provision of information and incentives); and

· providing a holistic package of measures that are integrated with one another and the development and its marketing and promotion.

2.5 This TP sets out the requirements for, and duties of, a TPC to assist in the operation of the TP and to play an integral role in the development of measures and initiatives, as well as continuously raising awareness of the plan to residents through various means of promotion and marketing.

2.6 This TP includes a number of preliminary initiatives and measures. The modal share targets contained within Chapter 4 of this TP will be reviewed periodically after occupation as part of the TP process; through active monitoring and review by the TPC. The initiatives and measures described in Chapter 6 will be revisited if they are found to be failing to meet the targets, but the targets may also be adjusted if the TP is working particularly well. Ultimately, it will be for the TPC to decide the best methods to meet the targets.

3 EXISTING CONDITONS AND SITE ACCESSIBILITY

3.1 This chapter provides a review of the existing conditions within the vicinity of the site, including the local highway network and the sites’ existing accessibility for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users.

Local Highway Network

3.2 The local highway network in the vicinity of the site is shown on Figure 3.1 and a summary is provided below.

Kingston Road

3.3 To the east of the site, Kingston Road is a single carriageway road, measuring approximately eight metres in width. The carriageway accommodates eastbound and westbound advisory cycle lanes in the vicinity of the site. To the west of the site, the carriageway widens to approximately 10 metres to accommodate a westbound bus lane. In the vicinity of the site, Kingston Road features section of double yellow lines and single yellow lines, which prohibit loading between 0700-1000 and 1600-1900 and parking 0700-1900, Monday to Saturday. Kingston Road observes a 30mph speed limit and street lighting is provided throughout.

Dickerage Lane

3.4 Dickerage Lane is a single carriageway road, measuring approximately six metres in width. The road routes along the sites’ western boundary and adjoins Kingston Road at its southern extent via a priority T-Junction with raised pedestrian crossing. Within the vicinity of the site, on-street parking is available along the eastern side of the carriageway along an approximate 70 metre section. Elsewhere on Dickerage Lane, parking is restricted either via single yellow line between 0700 and 1900 or by double yellow lines. The carriageway is subject to a 20mph speed limit and features street lighting throughout. Access to King’s Oak Primary School is achieved approximately 65 metres north of the junction with Kingston Road, with TRO’s present in the vicinity which prohibit stopping 0800-1800 Monday to Friday, from 1 st January to 31 st July and 1 st September to 31 st December.

St Johns Road

3.5 St Johns Road is a no-through road which routes along the sites’ eastern boundary, providing access to the sites’ existing operation and nearby retail and industrial units. The road is subject to a 30mph speed limit adjoins Kingston Road at its southern extent via a priority T-Junction with raised pedestrian crossing. On-street parking is prohibited on both sides of the carriageway by way of double yellow lines and loading is prohibited 0700-1000 and 1600- 1900.

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 5 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

Highway Safety

3.6 A review of Personal Injury Collision (PIC) data has been completed for the latest five year period as part of the TA (Ref: 1807-64/TA/01), which confirms that there is no existing highway safety issue in the vicinity of the site.

Facilities and Amenities

3.7 Facilities and amenities located within the vicinity of the site are shown on Figure 3.2 .

3.8 The site is located approximately equidistant between Kingston upon Thames and New Malden in a suburban area with numerous facilities and amenities located nearby.

3.9 As set out in Manual for Streets at paragraph 4.4.1, “ Walkable communities are typically characterised by having a range of facilities within a 10 minutes (up to about 800m) walking distance of residential areas whic h residents may access on foot.” A summary of facilities and amenities within 800m of the site is provided in Table 3.1 below. Walking and cycling distances have been calculated using existing routes and not ‘as the crow flies’ , whilst journey times have been derived using an average walking speed of 80 metres per minute and an average cycling speed of 320 metres per minute 1.

Table 3.1 – Facilities and Amenities

Facility / Amenity Distance (m) from site Walking journey time Cycling journey time (minutes) (minutes) St John the Divine 20 <1 <1 Kings Oak Primary School 70 <1 <1 Aldi 80 1 <1 Matalan 80 1 <1 Madeira Beach Cafe 140 2 <1 Kingsmeadow Athletics 490 6 1.5 and Fitness Centre The Fat Boys Cafe 500 6 1.5 Brunswick Dental Rooms 650 8 2

3.10 Table 3.1 demonstrates that there are a number of facilities and amenities within 800m of the site, including food shops, cafes, school, fitness centre and a dentist, that may be required by future residents on a regular basis. However, MfS also advises that 800m “ is not an upper limit and PPS13 states that walking offers the greatest potential to replace short car trips, particularly those under two kilometres’’ . Kingston upon Thames and New Malden are both accessible within a two kilometre walk or cycle from the site, providing access to additional facilities and amenities, including restaurants, post office, gyms, libraries and schools.

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 6 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

Walking

3.11 Pedestrian infrastructure within the vicinity of the site is shown on Figure 3.1 and a walking isochrones plan is included as Figure 3.3 .

3.12 In the vicinity of the site, Kingston Road and St Johns Road provide footways along either side of the carriageway. The nearest pedestrian crossing point on Kingston Road is located approximately 100m to the south east of the site and comprises an uncontrolled crossing with tactile paving, dropped kerbs and pedestrian refuge island. A signalised crossing on Kingston Road is located approximately 280m north west of the site.

3.13 The footways located along Kingston Road provide a continuous pedestrian connection between Kingston upon Thames and New Malden, with an approximate journey time from the site to each destination of 15 minutes.

Cycling

3.14 Cycling infrastructure and routes within the vicinity of the site are shown on Figure 3.1 .

3.15 The A2043 includes advisory cycle lanes along both sides of the carriageway and provides a flat cycling route between Kingston upon Thames and New Malden. London Cycle Network routes 31 and 74 pass within the vicinity of the site. Route 31 is a radial route to the east of the site, connecting Hook in the south with Roehampton in the north and Route 74 is an orbital route to the north of the site, connecting Hampton Hill in the west to Wimbledon in the east.

3.16 Transport for London (TfL) provides an assessment of cycling journey times via its online service “WebCAT”. The Time Mapping analysis tool has been applied to the application site to investigate cycling journey times within the morning peak hour. The results are shown on Figure 3.4 below and a full copy of the report is provided in the TA.

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 7 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

Figure 3.4 – TfL WebCAT Cycling Time Mapping

3.17 As shown on Figure 3.4 , Kingston upon Thames, New Malden and Surbiton can be accessed within an approximate 15 minute cycle journey and the majority of south west London is accessible within an approximate 45 minute cycle. It is therefore considered that numerous employment, retail and leisure opportunities are available within convenient cycling distance of the site.

Public Transport Accessibility Level

3.18 The degree to which a site in London is considered to be accessible by public transport is identified by its Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL). This is a measure of accessibility from a point of interest (i.e. the application site) to the local public transport network. This measure takes into account the walk access time to a station or stop as well as the wait time and reliability of local transport services.

3.19 The PTAL methodology was originally developed by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and has been approved and adopted by Transport for London (TfL). PTAL it is calculated via a numerical Public Transport Accessibility Index which is then converted into a range from Level 0 (worst) to Level 6b (best), as shown in Table 3.2 below.

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 8 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

Table 3.2 - Range of Public Transport Accessibility Indices

PTAL Access Index range Map colour

0 (worst) 0

1a 0.01 to 2.50

1b 2.51 to 5.00

2 >5.01 to 10.00

3 >10.01 to 15.00

4 >15.01 to 20.00

5 >20.01 to 25.00

6a >25.01 to 40.00

6b (best) >40.01

3.20 According to the TfL Planning Information Database 2, the application site is located in a PTAL 2 zone, as shown on Figure 3.5 below. A full PTAL report is provided is provided as part of the TA.

Figure 3.5 - Public Transport Accessibility Level (Local)

3.21 However, while this might suggest that the site is relatively inaccessible by public transport, a more realistic measure, particularly in relation to residential development, is to consider the distance that can be travelled within a convenient period.

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 9 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

Transport for London Time Mapping

3.22 A significant limitation of PTAL is that, while it shows that an area has a good level of bus and/or train services, it does not indicate how useful those services are with regard to the desired destination. Of more use is the time taken to travel from a given point by public transport.

3.23 TfL provides an assessment of public transport journey times via its online service “WebCAT”. The Time Mapping analysis tool has been applied to the application site to investigate public transport journey times within the morning peak hour. The results are shown on Figure 3.6 below and a full copy of the report is provided in the TA.

Figure 3.6 - TfL WebCAT Public Transport Time Mapping

3.24 As illustrated on Figure 3.6 , for a typical commute of 60 minutes on public transport, west and central London would be readily accessible, thereby enabling access to significant employment opportunities. Similarly, numerous leisure and shopping opportunities would be available within this length of journey. Closer to the site, Twickenham and Richmond can be accessed within 30 to 45 minutes travel by public transport, while New Malden town centre is accessible within a 15 minute journey.

Bus

3.25 The location of bus stops within the vicinity of the site is shown on Figure 3.1 .

3.26 A total of two bus routes serve the bus stops located on either side of Kingston Road. The eastbound California Road bus stop is located at the site frontage with Kingston Road, whilst the westbound Springfield Road bus stop is located approximately 150 metres east of the site

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 10 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

and can be accessed via the pedestrian refuge island on Kingston Road. A summary of the bus services at these stops is provided in Table 3.3 below.

Table 3.3 – Bus Services

Frequency Service Route Description (Mon – Fri)

131 Tooting Broadway Tube Station – Kingston-upon-Thames Every 6-10 minutes

K5 Morden Tube Station – Ham Every 30 minutes

3.27 As set out in Table 3.3 , the site is served by regular bus services allowing convenient access to Kingston upon Thames, local tube stations and the surrounding areas.

3.28 As part of the TA, a Pedestrian Environment Review System (PERS) of the two closest bus stops to the site has been completed. Further to the review, the bus stops have been assigned an amber classification, which represents average provision with some features that give cause for concern. Therefore, a number of improvements have been identified in the TA to enhance the quality of the bus stops for users.

Rail

3.29 New Malden Station is located within TravelCard Zone 4 approximately 1.5 km walking distance to the east of the site, which equates to approximately 19 minutes walking distance. The location of New Malden station in relation to the site is shown on Figure 3.1 . New Malden Station has a total of ten cycle storage spaces and a car park of twelve spaces. Services are operated by South Western Railway, running between London Waterloo and Richmond, Hampton Court and Shepperton. These services are summarised in Table 3.4 .

3.30 Additional railway stations are available within the vicinity of the site. Berrylands Station is located within TravelCard Zone 5 approximately 1.5 km walking distance to the east of the site, which equates to approximately 19 minutes walking distance. Berrylands Station has a total of 22 cycle storage spaces and a car park of six spaces (including one accessible space).

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 11 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

The station is operated by South Western Railway and provides connections to London Waterloo and Hampton Court.

3.31 Norbiton Station is located within TravelCard Zone 5 approximately 1.6 km walking distance to the east of the site, which equates to approximately 20 minutes walking distance. Berrylands Station has a total of 110 cycle storage spaces and a car park of 39 spaces (including two accessible space). Norbiton Station is located on the Kingston Loop Line and is operated by South Western Railway, providing connections to London Waterloo, Wimbledon, Richmond and Shepperton.

3.32 Furthermore, New Malden and Norbiton Stations are both located on the proposed Crossrail 2 route, which will provide residents with additional services and shorter journey times to key destinations across London and the South East.

4 PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT

4.1 The proposals include the redevelopment of the sites’ existing use, which comprises a Homebase retail store, associated car park and a public house to provide 297 residential units and 216 sq.m commercial space. A copy of the architect’s masterplan is included as Appendix A .

Internal Layout and Access Arrangements

4.2 Vehicular access to the site is proposed at two locations on St Johns Road, providing access to the under croft and external car parking areas. The internal layout has been designed to create a permeable environment for pedestrians, with several pedestrian points of access available from Dickerage Lane, Kingston Road and St Johns Road.

Parking Provision

Car Parking

4.3 The adopted London Plan (2016) requires a maximum provision of up to 1.5 spaces per unit for developments located within PTALs 2 to 4. The London Plan also has a requirement for 20% of the total vehicular parking spaces to be provided as active electric vehicle charging spaces, with a further 20% of spaces provided as passive electric vehicle charging spaces.

4.4 The redevelopment proposals include a total of 124 car parking spaces for the 297 residential units, which is in accordance with the adopted London Plan. It is confirmed that EV active and passive charging will also be provided in accordance with the adopted London Plan.

4.5 The draft New London Plan was released in December 2018 and sets out the spatial development strategy for Greater London. While the Mayor of London’s website accepts that “The current 2016 Plan (The London Plan consolidated with alterations since 2011) is still the adopted De velopment Plan” it does state that the Draft New London Plan “is a material consideration in planning decisions” 3.

4.6 The redevelopment site is located in the Outer London Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the relevant car parking standard from the draft New London Plan is summarised in Table 4.1 below.

Table 4.1 - New London Plan Draft Maximum Residential Parking Standards

Location Maximum Parking Provision

Outer London PTAL 2 Up to one space per unit

3 https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/planning/london-plan/new-london-plan/what-new-london-plan

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 13 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

4.7 As shown in Table 4.1 , any development located in an Outer London Borough should provide up to one space per dwelling. Applying this standard to the proposed 297 residential units equates to a maximum provision of 297 spaces. The proposals comply with this standard, providing a total of 124 spaces.

Cycle Parking

4.8 The adopted London Plan sets out minimum cycle parking standards for residential developments. A summary of the relevant standard is provided in Table 4.2 below.

Table 4.2 - Adopted London Plan Minimum Cycle Parking Standards

Land Use Long-stay Short-stay

C3 - C4 A space per studio and 1 bedroom unit 2 spaces per all other 1 space per 40 units Dwellings (all) dwellings

4.9 Applying the adopted London Plan minimum cycle parking standards set out in Table 4.2 to the proposed 297 residential units corresponds to 482 long stay spaces and eight short stay spaces. The proposed redevelopment exceeds this requirement provides 535 long stay and nine short stay cycle parking spaces, in excess of the minimum requirement.

4.10 The draft New London Plan sets out minimum cycle parking standards for residential developments. A summary of the relevant standard is provided in Table 4.3 below.

Table 4.3 - Draft New London Plan Minimum Cycle Parking Standards

Land Use Long-stay Short-stay

1 space per 1 person 1 bedroom dwelling 5 to 40 dwellings: 2 C3 - C4 spaces 1.5 spaces per 2 person 1 bedroom dwelling Dwellings (all) Thereafter: 1 space per 2 spaces per all other dwellings 40 dwellings

4.11 Applying the draft New London Plan minimum cycle parking standards set out tin Table 4.3 to the proposed 297 residential units corresponds to 528 long stay spaces and nine short stay spaces. As stated above, the proposed development provides 535 long stay spaces and nine short stay cycle parking spaces, in excess of the minimum requirement.

4.12 The proposed cycle parking will be provided in line with the London Plan standards with all long-stay parking incorporated into the building design in a secure and sheltered location. The proposed short stay cycle parking will be located on-site within the proposed car park.

5 TARGETS

Baseline Travel Behaviour

5.1 For the purpose of setting interim targets, the mode share associated with the proposed residential redevelopment has been forecast using 2011 Census Travel to Work data for the Kingston upon Thames 006 MSOA, within which the site is located. A resident travel survey will be completed within six months of 80% occupation at the site to confirm the baseline mode share, with any revisions to the targets set out in this chapter agreed with the appropriate officers at TfL and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (RBKuT).

5.2 A summary of the forecast baseline mode share for the peak hours is provided in Table 5.1 below.

Table 5.1 – 2011 Census Travel to Work (Kingston upon Thames 006)

Mode Mode Share*

Car 35% On foot 21% Bus 18% Train 12% Bicycle 6% Car passenger 3% Tube 3% Motorcycle 1% *Figures subject to rounding

5.3 The 2011 Census data set put in Table 5.1 demonstrates that the majority of residents within the Kingston upon Thames 006 MSOA commute by driving a car (35%), with public transport (33%) and walking (21%) also popular modes of travel. The forecast baseline mode share will be considered when setting targets to ensure that the targets are appropriate and realistic.

Targets

5.4 Targets are the measurable goals that must be set to assess whether or not the objectives of the plan are being achieved. This TP has the key objective of minimising the proportion of journeys made to the site by car, particularly single occupancy trips. However, it also considers that raising awareness of the Travel Plan is integral to the process.

5.5 It is considered that a 10 percent reduction in the sites’ single occupancy vehicle mode share is achievable within five years of 80 percent occupancy, following the implementation of the measures and initiatives proposed in this TP. The multi-modal targets are set out below.

1807-64/TP/01B Transport Planning Associates April 2019 Page 15 of 22 229-255 Kingston Road, New Malden Fairview New Homes (Willow Way) Ltd Residential Travel Plan

(i) Reduce the number of single occupancy residential vehicle trips by at least 10% (four percentage points); (i) Increase the number of car sharing vehicle trips by one percentage points;

(ii) Increase the use of public transport (bus and rail, including underground) by at least one percentage points; (iii) Increase the use of walking by one percentage points; (iv) Increase the use of cycling by one percentage points ; and (v) Achieve at least 75% awareness of the Travel Plan by 2021.

5.6 The interim targets have been applied to the forecast baseline mode share. The resultant mode shift over the five year lifespan of the TP is shown in Table 5.2 below.

Table 5.2 – Modal Share Targets by Year

Mode Baseline Target Mode Share* (2011 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Census) Car (single 35% 34% 33% 32% 31% 31% occupancy)

Public 33% 34% 34% 34% 34% 34% transport

On foot 21% 21% 22% 22% 22% 22%

Bicycle 6% 6% 6% 7% 7% 7%

Car 3% 3% 3% 3% 4% 4% passenger

Motorcycle 1% 1% 1% 1% 1% 1% *Figures subject to rounding

5.7 The interim targets set out in Table 5.2 are considered realistic but also aspirational. The targets may however be revised further to the resident travel survey completed within six months of 80% occupation at the site.

7 INITIATIVES AND MEASURES

Proposed Initiatives and Measures

7.1 A list of initiatives and measures has been identified and, where possible, these will be implemented before occupation. The initiatives and measures set out in Table 7.1 below are in accordance with RBKuT’s Sustainable Transport SPD and TfL’s Travel Planning Guidance document.

7.2 Where appropriate, the initiatives and measures will be implemented prior to occupation in order to maximise the opportunity to influence future resident travel patterns. It is envisaged that new residents will plan their travel arrangements in accordance with the TP as they will not have previous experience of travel to and from the site and so will not be intransigent about using alternative modes of travel. An Action Plan with indicative timescales and responsibilities for implementation of the measures is also included at Appendix B .

7.3 All of the measures outlined in Table 7.1 will be reviewed as the TP evolves and as monitoring highlights which measures have been successful. Whilst the list of initiatives and measures is comprehensive, after occupation, it will be for the TPC in conjunction with the Travel Plan officers at RBKuT and TfL to decide the best approach to achieve the targets. If necessary, other measures may be considered at a later date to assist in meeting the targets.

8 MONITORING

Resident Travel Surveys

8.1 As set out in Chapter 5 , a baseline resident travel survey will be organised by the TPC within six months of 80% occupation at the site in order to confirm the baseline mode share. Following this, resident travel surveys will be undertaken in Year 1 (one year post 80% occupation), Year 3 and Year 5. It will be up to the TPC to decide whether the surveys take the form of an online questionnaire or a door-to-door style survey. It is anticipated that the travel surveys will include the following questions:

· What mode of travel do you use for the longest part of your commute to work? · What is the approximate location of your place of work? · Why do you choose this mode of travel for the longest part of your commute? · If you currently drive for the longest part of your commute, what would encourage you to consider an alternative mode? · Have you made use of the on-site car club scheme? · Are you aware of the Travel Plan in operation at the development?

Monitoring Report

8.2 To assess whether the progress of the TP is in line with the targets, and in accordance with guidance set out in RBKuT’s Sustainable Transport SPD, a monitoring report will be produced following each survey (Years 1, 3 and 5) and submitted to officers at TfL and RBKuT for agreement. The monitoring reports will also be used by the TPC to propose amendments to the targets and/or measures, if necessary.
