APPENDIX A - TRAVEL QUESTIONNAIRE IT2004TPF_11.05.21_Issued ST DOMINICS CARE HOME, KELVEDON TRAVEL PLAN FRAMEWORK 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Intermodal Transportation Ltd (ITL), an independent consultancy specialising in highway engineering and transportation planning, have been appointed by Planning Law Practice on behalf of St Dominics Care Home to produce a Transport Plan Framework (TPF) to support a planning application for the provision of additional residential care facilities at St Dominics Residential Care Home in Kelvedon, Essex. 1.2 In preparing this document the Consultants have utilised their previous experience in preparing Travel Plans. 1.3 It is considered that due to the location of the site within close proximity to existing housing and public transport connections, there would be realistic opportunities for employees at the development to utilise alternative transport modes. 1.4 The development proposal involves the provision of 9 two bedroom bungalows and 21 one bedroom care home spaces. The bungalows would be leased to elderly residents. Additionally, 26 staff members would be employed, 12 of whom would be full time. A total of 36 car parking spaces would be provided at the development. 1.5 This TP has been produced to encourage staff at the site to reduce their reliance on the use of the private car. It is anticipated that this would have the following benefits: • Improve travel choice options to all. • Reduce congestion and pollution caused by cars and the impact this has on people’s health and on the environment. • Improve the health and fitness of those who walk or cycle rather than use the car. (According to the Health Education Authority cycling or walking briskly for half an hour a day can halve the risk of heart disease). • It may result in cost savings for staff who car-share, walk or cycle. • Enhance social inclusion and sense of community. • Improving accessibility by modes other than the car would make the site more accessible to people without a car. 1.6 The principle of a TP is to inform about sustainable choices and make staff at the site aware of the desirability to reduce travel by single occupancy private car trips. The objective of a TP is to facilitate reduced vehicle mileage associated with travel. IT2004TPF_11.05.21_Issued 1 ST DOMINICS CARE HOME, KELVEDON TRAVEL PLAN FRAMEWORK 1.7 It should be recognised that no initiatives or measures aimed at reducing car use are implemented at the current care home. As such, the measures outlined in this TP should be regarded as a positive step from the operators of the care home. 1.8 Residents occupying the bungalows are likely to have limited mobility and limited ability to travel independently. Residents of the Care Home and the apartments will not be mobile or able to travel independently. As such, the measures in this TP are not tailored towards residents. IT2004TPF_11.05.21_Issued 2 ST DOMINICS CARE HOME, KELVEDON TRAVEL PLAN FRAMEWORK 2 SITE AUDIT Site Location 2.1 The site is located in a predominantly rural setting of the village of Kelvedon. Kelvedon is a civil parish located within the administrative area of Braintree District Council, Essex. Kelvedon is located approximately 17km south west of Colchester, 23km north east of Chelmsford and 10km southeast of Braintree. 2.2 The site consists of land located to the rear of the existing St Dominic Care Home. The site is located off the B1024 London Road and is situated 850m to the north of the A12. The site is bounded by fields to the north and the west. The existing care home is located to the south, whilst residential dwellings and the St Mary Immaculate Church is located to the east. Drawing IT2004/TPF/01 shows the site location in the local and wider context. Local Road Network 2.3 The proposed development would take its vehicular
