Executive Summary
This Residential Travel Plan (RTP) has been prepared in support of a planning application for the erection of 444 no. dwellings to provide Service Family Accommodation (SFA), land for a new primary school and community facilities, public open space, play areas, landscaping, internal roads and all associated infrastructure works on land situated to the north of The Packway and to the west of Larkhill, Wiltshire.
This Residential Travel Plan has been produced following discussions with the local transport authority, Wiltshire Council, and accords with guidance provided in relevant national and local policy documents. It sets out the site strategies and measures that will be introduced to influence modal choice with a view to reducing dependency upon the private car.
An audit of the existing pedestrian, cycling and public transport facilities in the area has been carried out which indicates that sustainable travel opportunities for residents and visitors to the proposed development are reasonable. Local amenities and facilities in Larkhill are within a reasonable walk/cycle distance of the proposed development and regular bus services to Salisbury and local settlements are also within a reasonable walking distance of the site.
A number of specific measures have been put forward to reduce the need to travel, to encourage residents and visitors to use sustainable modes and to ensure that they have sufficient information to make informed choices on their modes of travel. It is proposed that an initial target of a car driver mode share of 39% within 3 years of the first occupation is adopted for the proposed development and a monitoring strategy has been suggested.
The initial target is based on 2011 Census travel to work data for the local area and will need to be reviewed and agreed with Wiltshire Council once site-specific travel survey data is available. Similarly the proposed measures may need to be further developed following occupation of the proposed SFA development and once travel patterns have been established.
The package of measures outlined in this report is considered to be robust and appropriate to the development proposals and the site location. This RTP is therefore considered suitable for future development of the site.
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
1 Introduction
1.1 PREAMBLE
1.1.1 This Residential Travel Plan (RTP) has been prepared in support of a planning application for the erection of 444 no. dwellings to provide Service Family Accommodation (SFA), land for a new primary school and community facilities, public open space, play areas, landscaping, internal roads and all associated infrastructure works on land situated to the north of The Packway and to the west of Larkhill, Wiltshire. The application site is shown edged red in Figure 1 .
1.1.2 SFA is MOD owned residential housing and the proposed SFA development at Larkhill forms part of the regular Army’s rebasing proposals for Salisbury Plain. This RTP should be read in conjunction with the Overarching Travel Plan (OTP) prepared in support of the rebasing proposals. The OTP presents the Army’s area wide strategy to influence modal choice with a view to reducing dependency upon the private car.
1.1.3 The proposed SFA development site is located immediately to east of Larkhill Camp, west of the village of Durrington. To the north the site is bounded by open grassland and arable fields, Stonehenge Golf Centre and arable fields to the east, The Packway to the south and by Larkhill Camp and existing SFA to the west.
1.1.4 Wiltshire Council (WC) is the local highway and planning authority for the area.
1.2 ARMY BASING PROPOSALS
1.2.1 In total around 4,000 extra personnel and their dependents will be rebased to Salisbury Plain. A large proportion of the total number will be junior ranks living and working on Camp. Personnel with families will be accommodated in SFA proposed in the local area. The new SFA proposed at Larkhill is one of three such developments with others proposed at Bulford and Ludgershall. Each will be subject to separate planning applications.
1.2.2 Soldiers living in SFA are typically 25 to 55 year old, married soldiers with families. Their travel patterns follow a typical daily commute, with the military member(s) of the household travelling to/from Camp during the AM/PM highway peak periods Monday to Friday. Spouses may also travel to work, as well as the usual ‘school run’, retail and leisure travel activities typical of any household.
1.3 PURPOSE
1.3.1 The aim of a Travel Plan is to minimise the impacts of travel, help to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, improve local air quality, minimise health risks and reduce traffic congestion.
1
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
Encouraging residents to carry out their everyday activities in a more sustainable manner can also contribute to improvements in the local environment.
1.3.2 Specifically, a RTP is a package of measures designed to reduce the number and length of car trips generated by a residential development, whilst also supporting more sustainable modes of travel and reducing the overall need to travel. The difference between a residential Travel Plan and workplace Travel Plan is that the residential plan is concerned with journeys made from a single origin (home) to multiple and changing destinations. The pattern of journeys originating at home is more varied, with residents having multiple destinations and different needs and travel choices over time.
1.3.3 The key principles of RTPs are as follows:
• Site specific and are determined by opportunities and constraints e.g. public transport routes, health facilities and workplaces in the immediate area;
• Combine ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ measures;
• Provide a holistic package in which individual measures are integrated into design, marketing and occupation of the site (rather than “retrofitted” once the site is established). They can provide a key mechanism for ensuring that sustainable access is in place from the earliest stages of development; and
• Include measures to support walking, cycling and public transport use.
1.3.4 This report outlines the aims and strategy for the site and details the measures that will be introduced to ensure the aims are realised. It should be recognised that this report represents the initial approach that will be undertaken to develop the Travel Plan strategy, and that further stages are anticipated once the residential development is fully occupied. It should also be recognised that the measures to be adopted will also be targeted at visitors.
1.3.5 In recognition of these factors, the RTP will have the following broad aims:
• Encourage the use of alternative modes of transport to the private car and to better manage private car usage in order to reduce environmental impacts for all journeys to and from the proposed development;
• To deliver long-term commitment to changing travel habits by minimising the percentage of journeys to and from the development made by single occupancy cars, and maximise the proportion of trips to the development made by walking and cycling, public transport, and by car share;
2
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
• Identify and achieve the support of stakeholders, and set in place the foundations and culture for a sustainable transport policy for the development, which will develop and grow with time;
• To educate residents regarding the health benefits of walking and cycling;
• Address resident’s need for access to a full range of facilities for work, education, health, leisure, recreation and shopping;
• Reduce traffic generated by development to a lower level of car trips than would be predicted for the site without the implementation of a RTP; and
• Promote healthy lifestyles and vibrant communities.
1.3.6 Delivery of an effective package of sustainable travel measures aimed at reducing the number of peak period car trips will help to mitigate the impacts of the SFA development and the overall impacts of rebasing, thereby helping to reduce the need for off-site highway improvements.

Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
2 Policy Context
2.1.1 This RTP has been prepared following discussions with the local transport authority, Wiltshire Council, and with consideration to the following policy documents:
• Transport White Paper: 'Creating Growth, Cutting Carbon: Making Sustainable Local Transport Happen' • The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and supporting Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) ‘Travel plans, transport assessments and statements in decision-taking’ • DfT – Building Sustainable Transport into New Developments • DfT – A Sustainable Future for Cycling • DfT – Good Practice Guidelines – Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process • Wiltshire Core Strategy • Wiltshire Local Plan • Third Wiltshire Local Transport Plan (LTP3) • Manual for Streets (MfS) and MfS2 • Relevant MOD Travel Related Policies
2.1.2 A key message from both national and local transport policy is one of supporting sustainable development and encouraging development that offers sustainable transport choices to help reduce reliance on the private car. Local policy also seeks to ensure that development is appropriately located and mitigated to avoid any adverse traffic impacts.
2.1.3 The proposed SFA masterplan has been prepared having careful consideration to these requirements and is located close to Larkhill Camp where the majority of service personnel living on the site will be working. In addition, the detailed design of the site will seek to provide a direct pedestrian/cyclist connection to Larkhill Camp and a link to The Packway (for access to local facilities including bus stops on The Packway, local schools and shops).

3 Existing Conditions
3.1 EXISTING SITE
3.1.1 The existing site comprises open grassland and fields in agricultural use (arable). The location of the site is illustrated in Figure 1 .
3.2 SURROUNDING AREA
3.2.1 The proposed SFA development site is located immediately to east of Larkhill Camp, west of the village of Durrington. To the north the site is bounded by open grassland and arable fields, Stonehenge Golf Centre and arable fields to the east, The Packway to the south and by Larkhill Camp and existing SFA to the west.
3.3 EXISTING HIGHWAY NETWORK
3.3.1 The proposed development has a short frontage of approximately 80 metres onto The Packway, a county highway that forms a link between Durrington Village and the B3086 to the west of Larkhill Camp. At the location of the proposed site access junction The Packway is a lit, single carriageway road, subject to the national speed limit (60mph), with a footway on the northern side of the carriageway and a grass verge on the southern side.
3.4 SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
3.4.1 Existing sustainable transport infrastructure is discussed in Section 5 of this report.

Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
4 Development Proposals
4.1 INTRODUCTION
4.1.1 The proposed development will comprise the Erection of 444 no. dwellings to provide Service Families Accommodation (SFA), land for a new primary school and community facilities, public open space, play areas, landscaping, internal roads and all associated infrastructure works. A sketch depicting a masterplan layout for the site can be found in Appendix A .
4.2 PROPOSED SITE ACCESS
4.2.1 Vehicular access to the site is proposed via new roundabout junction onto The Packway. Figure 2 depicts the proposed access junction layout which has been designed in accordance with relevant standards.
4.2.2 The existing road to the north of the proposed roundabout will be upgraded to a 7.3m wide Distributor Road standard with a 3.0m shared cycle footway on one side and a 2.0m wide footway on the other. Residential access roads with a carriageway width of 5.5m with 2m footways on one/both sides of the carriageway will loop around the site providing access to a network of 20 mph shared surface roads and private drives providing access to individual dwellings (See plan in Appendix A ).
4.3 INTERNAL SITE LAYOUT
4.3.1 The internal highway will be designed in accordance with Wiltshire Council’s design guide, with priority given to pedestrians and cyclists where appropriate. Turning facilities will be provided within the site to allow for the safe manoeuvring of service/delivery vehicles.
4.4 PARKING
Car Parking
4.4.1 Car and bicycle parking will be provided in accordance with the MOD’s standard requirements. The proposed development will incorporate sufficient storage space to enable all residents to store a minimum of one bicycle securely on their own property. In most instances this is expected to be achieved on plot through the use of rear gardens (garden sheds) or the use of garages. Communal cycle parking/storage will be provided for any dwellings without garages/gardens.
6
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
4.5 PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND OTHER MOBILITY IMPAIRMENTS
4.5.1 The detailed design of the development and its internal transport infrastructure will be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the 1995 (amended 2005) Disability Discrimination Act and in accordance with current good practice as embodied within the DfT’s “Inclusive Mobility” document.
4.5.2 This approach will ensure that the completed development is fully inclusive and meets the needs of all users, including those with disabilities or temporary mobility impairments, such as those escorting elderly people or young children.

5 Sustainable Transport
5.1 INTRODUCTION
5.1.1 This section considers the existing walking, cycling and public transport infrastructure in the vicinity of the proposed development. This review of the availability of walking, cycling and public transport options in the vicinity of the proposed development helps to define the ways in which the development can effectively integrate with the surrounding areas and connect with local facilities.
5.2 PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES
Existing infrastructure
5.2.1 To the west of the proposed site access junction there is an existing footway on the northern side of The Packway providing a pedestrian link to Larkhill Camp and village. The footway has a width of approximately 2m (although this varies) and there are street lighting columns at regular intervals along the route. Approximately 1km to the west of the site there are footways on both sides of the carriageway along The Packway.
5.2.2 To the east of the proposed site access junction there is a footway to the north of The Packway that provides a pedestrian link towards Durrington village. This footway is segregated from the carriageway by a wide grass verge and there are no street lighting facilities along this section of The Packway. In Durrington village there is a footway along the northern side of the A3028 Larkhill Road and footways on both sides of Stonehenge Road. These routes are both subject to 30mph speed limits and there is street lighting in place.
5.2.3 There are existing byways that pass through the proposed SFA site; byway DURR31 runs north- south through the site to The Packway and byways DURR29 and DURR6 run along the western boundary of the proposed site. There is also a public footpath route (DURR15) that runs parallel with The Packway between the proposed SFA access and the A345 Netheravon Road (see Figure 3).
Pedestrian Accessibility
5.2.4 The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation in their document ‘Guidelines for Providing for Journeys on Foot’ state that “walking accounts for over a quarter of all journeys and four fifths of journeys less than one mile”. The document also provides guidance on acceptable walking distances and suggests that a preferred maximum walking distance of 2km is applicable for commuting or school trips.
8
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
5.2.5 For the purposes of this report it has therefore been assumed that a walking trip distance of 2km represents a realistic maximum distance. Figure 4 depicts a 2km walking catchment from the centre of the site and the 2km walking catchment ( Figure 4 ) includes a large proportion of Larkhill Camp to the west, the parade of shops on The Packway in Larkhill which include; a Post Office, Indian, Chinese and Italian food takeaways, hair salon and barbers, pet shop, two convenience stores, off-licence and café. Larkhill Primary School and The Packhorse public house fall just outside of the 2km catchment (by a few metres) to the west of the site.
5.2.6 To the east the 2km catchment includes an area of Durrington village including; The Stonehenge Inn public house, the Stonehenge Snooker and Social Centre and a Sainsbury’s Local supermarket. Durrington Junior School and a veterinary hospital fall just outside of the 2km catchment (by a few metres) to the east of the site.
5.2.7 There is therefore good potential for personnel living at the SFA to walk to work at Larkhill Camp and for children to be escorted to/from the existing primary and junior school facilities in the local area.
5.2.8 The development proposals include the provision of new bus stops on The Packway close to the proposed site access junction. The site will therefore be within reasonable walking distance of bus stops served by the X5 bus service which runs between Salisbury and Swindon. This operates about every hour Mondays to Saturdays with an hourly service on Sundays and Bank Holidays. The route of the X5 provides a convenient link between the site and Durrington (including a stop at Avon Valley College), Bulford, Amesbury and Salisbury to the south and Upavon, Pewsey, Marlborough, Chiseldon and Swindon to the north.
5.2.9 The development masterplan makes space available for the provision of a new 2FE (420 place) primary school and community facilities. As mentioned above two existing schools (Larkhill Primary School and Durrington Junior School) are also located just outside of the 2km catchment (by a few metres). The nearest secondary school (Avon Valley College) is located at the northern edge of Durrington (approximately 2.2km away) and is just outside of reasonable walking distance however, as mentioned above this is served by the X5 bus service which stops on The Packway, a short walk from the site.
5.2.10 The proposed SFA site is therefore considered to be sustainably located with regards accessibility to military employment, public transport and education facilities.

Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
5.3 CYCLE FACILITIES
National Cycle Routes
5.3.1 Although there is currently no dedicated cycle infrastructure linking the proposed SFA site and Larkhill Camp, there are three National Cycle Routes in the wider area as shown on Figure 5 and summarised as follows:
• Wiltshire Cycleway (National Cycle Route 254) – runs between Amesbury and Everleigh through the study area using quiet, lightly trafficked roads.
• National Cycle Route 45 (NCR 45) - links Chester with Salisbury and passes close to Larkhill, Bulford and Ludgershall using on-road routes.
• National Cycle Route 481 – is a spur off NCR 45 which runs around Salisbury Plain linking Larkhill at its southern end to the NCR 45 west of Upavon using off-road routes.
Existing Infrastructure
5.3.2 The Amesbury town cycle network plan (including Bulford and Durrington) is shown in Appendix B. This indicates that The Packway between its junctions with Willoughby Road in Larkhill and the A435 roundabout junction west of Durrington is designated as an ‘on-street’ cycle route, although there are no specific cycle lanes defined on-street. The plan also depicts a cycle route on part of the A435 to south of its roundabout junction with The Packway, although there is no dedicated cycle provision (i.e. cyclists would need to share the existing carriageway or footpath).
5.3.3 The network plan also identifies the existing byway DURR31 running northwards through the centre of the proposed site as an existing rural link providing a route north to Figheldean. A further rural link is identified leading south along Willoughby Road to the A344 at Stonehenge. Fargo Road to the south of Larkhill is designated as a ‘quiet street’ and provides a parallel route to The Packway.
Proposed Infrastructure
5.3.4 As mentioned earlier a direct walking/cycling route will be provided between the proposed SFA and Larkhill Camp to the west (along the route of public byway DURR29) which will link to a pedestrian gate in the Camp security fence with keypad entry. The site access road will include a shared-use cycle/footway connection onto The Packway and the development proposals also include for improvements to the existing footway on northern side of The Packway between its junctions with Ross Road (to the west of Larkhill Camp) to its junction with A345 roundabout at Durrington to create a 3.0m wide shared use cycle/footway. The improved route will allow convenient cycle access into Larkhill and Durrington.
10
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
Cycle Accessibility
5.3.5 The DfT in their “Transport Statistics on Cycling in Great Britain” state that the average length of a cycle journey is 2.4 miles (3.84km). It can therefore be concluded that approximately 4km represents a reasonable average cycling distance.
5.3.6 A distance of 4km from the centre of the proposed SFA development is shown in Figure 4 and incorporates all of Larkhill Camp, Durrington and Bulford Villages, part of Bulford Camp and part of Amesbury town to the south. There is therefore excellent potential for personnel living on the proposed SFA site to cycle to work at Larkhill and to use cycle travel as a realistic alternative to the private car to access local facilities in the surrounding areas.
5.4 PUBLIC TRANSPORT (BUS)
5.4.1 Figure 6 illustrates existing bus service routes in the vicinity of the site and Figure 7 illustrates the approximate accessibility of existing bus stops based on a 400m radius of each existing stop. As can be seen approximately one third of the site is within the recommended 400m walking distance of an existing bus stop served by frequent bus services.
5.4.2 The site is located on the X5 bus route which passes the site on The Packway. The X5 bus service runs between Salisbury and Swindon. This operates about every hour Mondays to Saturdays with an hourly service on Sundays and Bank Holidays. The route of the X5 provides a convenient link between the site and Durrington (including a stop at Avon Valley College), Bulford, Amesbury and Salisbury to the south and Upavon, Pewsey, Marlborough, Chiseldon and Swindon to the north.
5.4.3 A summary of the service frequency (one way) is provided in Table 1.
Table 1 - Bus Service Summary
Approx. Daytime Frequency Weekday Service Service Number/Operator Route (Minutes) Times Mon-Fri Saturday Sunday Start Finish Every 60 X5/Salisbury Reds Swindon | Salisbury Minutes Every Hour 06:00 22:08 (approx)
5.5 PUBLIC TRANSPORT (RAIL)
5.5.1 The locations of the closest rail stations to the site are indicated in Figure 5. The area is served by four railway stations at Salisbury, Grateley, Andover and Pewsey. The nearest manned train station with a taxi rank is in Andover (approx’ 15 miles from the site), Grateley station is closer (approx’ 9 miles) but is unmanned and there is no taxi rank. Salisbury station (approx’ 10 miles) is another
11
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
option. These stations are all on the West of England mainline with services to London Waterloo. Pewsey Station is located to the north (approx’ 13 miles) and is on the Berks and Hants line with a connection to London Paddington. Figure 5 shows railway station locations in relation to the site. Given the distances to the nearest rail stations there are limited opportunities for travelling by rail.
5.5.2 A summary of local rail services is provided in Table 2 below.
Table 2 - Rail Service Summary Service Approximate Daytime Frequency (Minutes) Station Number/Operator Mon-Fri Saturday Sunday Exeter St David’s Hourly Every 40 Minutes Half Hourly London Waterloo Every 20 Minutes Every 20 Minutes Hourly Cardiff Central Hourly Hourly Hourly Salisbury Portsmouth Harbour Hourly Half Hourly Hourly + 10 Minutes Bristol Temple Meads Hourly Every Hour Hourly Bristol Temple Meads With Intermittent Services Romsey Half Hourly Half Hourly Half Hourly London Waterloo Hourly Hourly Every 2 Hours Grateley Salisbury Hourly Hourly Every 2 Hours London Waterloo Half Hourly Half Hourly Hourly Andover Salisbury Half Hourly Half Hourly Hourly Exeter St David’s Hourly Hourly Hourly London Paddington 40 Minutes 40 Minutes Every 2 Hours Pewsey Penzance Every 2 Hours Every 2 Hours Every 3 Hours
5.6 SUMMARY
5.6.1 Existing sustainable travel opportunities within the vicinity of the site are of a reasonable standard. The site is connected by existing footways and is close to bus stops served by frequent services. The available bus services provide convenient links between local conurbations as well as providing a connection to Salisbury where longer distance journeys are possible by rail.
5.6.2 The site is close to three national cycle routes and is connected to local destinations via rural links and ‘on street’ cycle routes. A range of local services and facilities are available within reasonable cycling and walking distance of the site.
5.6.3 Overall, the site is considered to have reasonable accessibility by sustainable transport, providing SFA residents and visitors with a number of realistic alternatives to car use for daily travel.

6 Travel Plan Measures & Initiatives
6.1 INTRODUCTION
6.1.1 This site-specific RTP has been prepared in support of a planning application for a proposed SFA development at Larkhill. This report should be read in conjunction with the Overarching Travel Plan (OTP) that has been prepared in support of the Army rebasing proposals for Salisbury Plain.
6.1.2 The OTP focuses on reducing the need to travel by providing new military accommodation in close proximity to the duty station and identifies a package of measures to encourage sustainable travel between SFA (existing and proposed) and the Camps covered by the OTP. The sustainable travel measures discussed in the OTP focus on increasing the use of:
• Walking and running for short distance trips. • Cycling for short/medium distance trips. • Bus use for medium distance trips (e.g. inter-Barracks). • Car sharing for longer distance commuter trips.
6.1.3 The sustainable travel measures and initiatives identified in this section of the RTP (and reflected in the Larkhill SFA TA report) are consistent with the strategy identified in the OTP.
6.2 TRAVEL PLAN MANAGEMENT
6.2.1 Good communication is a vital part of a Travel Plan. Making residents and visitors aware of the available sustainable travel options and their potential benefits will be critical to the future success of the RTP. It is therefore proposed that a Travel Plan Co-ordinator (TPC) will be nominated who will take responsibility for management of the RTP and will report to the Executive Board that has been established to oversee delivery of the OTP.
6.3 TRAVEL PLAN COORDINATOR
6.3.1 It is proposed that a Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC) is nominated by the MOD to take responsibility for development and delivery of the RTP and its ongoing monitoring and reporting. It is anticipated that this will be a part time role for an existing member of MOD staff, who should be of suitably senior rank/position to deliver the required tasks. It is proposed that the TPC will be nominated three months prior to first occupation on the site.
13
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
6.4 RESPONSIBILITIES
6.4.1 The duties of the TPC will include:
• Provision of Travel Information to new residents;
• Coordination with other Travel Plan Coordinators in the area to identify any opportunities for joint working or “added value”;
• Liaising with Wiltshire Council for appropriate input from a range of agencies including public transport operators;
• Keeping public transport and database records up to date; and
• Preparing and maintaining publicity for the plan.
6.4.2 In addition to the above, the TPC will be integral to the process of reviewing and reporting on the effectiveness of the RTP to the Executive Board that has been established to oversee delivery of the OTP.
6.5 REDUCING THE NEED TO TRAVEL THROUGH SFA ALLOCATION
6.5.1 MOD policy (JSP 464) states “SFA is to be provided as close as possible to the Service person’s duty station with National Housing Prime Help Desk (NHPHD) always attempting in the first instance to offer SFA within 10 miles radius of the duty station”. This policy will apply to the new SFA housing at Larkhill.
6.5.2 When allocating SFA the Army will, wherever possible, seek to encourage military personnel to choose to live in the closest available SFA to their duty station in the interests of reducing the need to travel to work.
6.5.3 Service personnel will be provided with sufficient information to enable them to make informed decisions when selecting SFA. This should include, but not be limited to:
• Making military personnel aware of the aims and aspirations of the Travel Plan (i.e. to reduce single occupancy car commuting across the Salisbury Plain area to help mitigate the traffic impacts of Army Rebasing on the local highway network).
• Making military personnel aware of the reason why a Travel Plan is required (i.e. to reduce car trips during peak periods, to help relieve traffic congestion on local roads, contribute towards local road safety, help improve the local environment and maintain a harmonious relationship with the local civilian population).
14
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
• Details of journey distances, travel times and indicative CO2 emissions between the available SFA options and the duty station.
• Details of indicative monthly/annual travel costs between the available SFA options and the duty station.
• Details of any existing/proposed car parking restrictions at the duty station that may discourage daily commuting by private car.
• Details of walking and cycling routes between the closest SFA and the duty station, including routes to nearest schools/shops etc, where appropriate.
• Information on the health benefits of walking and cycling.
6.5.4 In addition, the TPC will seek to identify and offer any appropriate incentives (within the scope of current MOD Policies) to encourage service personnel to choose to live in the closest available SFA to their duty station, in the interests of reducing the need to travel to work.
6.5.5 It is recognised that service personnel are entitled to choose where they live and when alternative accommodation choices are available may not necessarily choose the closest accommodation to their duty station.
6.6 SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL PACKS
6.6.1 It is proposed that new residents of the SFA development are provided with a ‘New Household Local Sustainable Travel Pack’. The pack will include the following:
• Maps of local walking and cycling routes and facilities, including details of estimated journey times to key destinations;
• Maps of local bus routes, locations of bus stops and local bus timetables;
• Details of local car share schemes (e.g. Car Share Wiltshire);
• Information on the health and fitness benefits of walking and cycling; and
• Contact details, (telephone, website and email), for local walking and cycling groups and for local public transport information and journey planning.
6.6.2 To encourage increased walking to/from the proposed development the TPC will provide local walking maps as part of the resident’s travel packs and will promote local and national walking initiatives (e.g. National Walking Month, Walk to Work week and Walk to School week). The TPC will also seek to liaise with local schools to promote walking initiatives.
15
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
6.6.3 To encourage increased cycling to/from the proposed development the TPC will include in the resident’s travel packs details of adult cycling courses run by Wiltshire Council and details of any local cycle events. The TPC will also provide details of local cycle shops, cycling clubs/groups and any appropriate cycling events.
6.7 PROPOSED MEASURES
6.7.1 A range of physical measures have been identified to encourage sustainable travel by residents of the proposed SFA. It is recommended that these measures are delivered prior to full occupation of the SFA development.
Cycling/Walking Scheme
6.7.2 As part of the wider rebasing proposals a possible new cycling/walking scheme is being investigated by DIO to identify, define and promote routes linking Larkhill, Bulford, Tidworth and Perham Down Camps with local connections to existing and proposed SFA.
6.7.3 Preliminary plans depicting the possible cycling/walking scheme in the vicinity of the Larkhill SFA site can be found in Appendix C. However it should be noted that at this stage exact routes, any new/improved infrastructure required, specification, construction costs, delivery responsibilities and delivery timescales have yet to be determined. The scheme indicated in Appendix C should therefore be considered indicative at this stage and further details will be made available as the scheme is worked-up and details agreed with Wiltshire Council.
6.7.4 The routes that will provide direct walking and cycling links between the SFA site and Larkhill Camp will be delivered as part of the Larkhill SFA development. The potential wider cycling/walking scheme to provide links between Camps is currently an aspiration and will be subject to further investigation to determine feasibility and costs. The elements that will be delivered as part of the Larkhill SFA development are described as follows:
• Improvements to the existing footway - on northern side of The Packway between its junctions with Bingham Road/Ross Road to its junction with Northern Terrace (a distance of approximately 1,500m) to create a 3.0m wide shared use cycle/footway. Improvements to include footway widening, surfacing, white lining and signage (see locations 1 & 2 on the plan in Appendix C).
• Improvements to the existing footway - on northern side of The Packway between its junctions with Northern Terrace to its junction with Tombs Road (a distance of approximately 530m) to create a 3.0m wide shared use cycle/footway. Improvements to include footway widening, surfacing, white lining and signage. The feasibility of delivering
16
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
this section would be dependent upon sufficient land being available within the highway boundary/MOD ownership adjacent to the Annington Homes owned SFA. In the event that a continuous route cannot be provided along the northern side of the Packway an alternative route may be available via the existing carriageway of Northern Terrace/Biddulph Road to rejoin The Packway at Tombs Road via the new SFA access road. (see location 2 on the plan in Appendix C).
• Improvements to the existing footway - on northern side of The Packway between its junctions with Tombs Road and the A345 roundabout at Durrington (a distance of approximately 740m) to create a shared use cycle/footway. Improvements to include footway widening, surfacing, white lining and signage.
• Improvements to the existing footway - between Gate B and the proposed access road to the SFA site (a distance of approximately 1,140m) to create a shared use cycle/footway. Improvements to include resurfacing, white lining and signage. (See location 3 on the plan in Appendix C).
Improved Pedestrian/Cycle Access to Larkhill Camp
6.7.5 The locations of existing access points where pedestrian/cycle access could be improved are indicated in Appendix C. Improving the permeability of the Camp in this manner will help to encourage travel on foot/cycle. The following improvements are proposed for delivery prior to full occupation of the SFA site.
• Improvements to Gate A (Main gate, currently manned 24 hrs) - Appropriate package of signage and road markings to integrate with proposed shared use cycle path to assist cyclists accessing the camp via this gate (details to be determined) (see location A on the plan in Appendix C).
• Improvements to Gate B - provide Simplex keypad lock and make access available between 0700 - 2200 hrs to minimise journey distance between the SFA and Camp. Improvements likely to include introduction of Simplex lock and CCTV with a link to the guardroom. (see location B on the plan in Appendix C).
New Pedestrian Crossing on The Packway
6.7.6 Based on Garrison feedback traffic volumes and speeds on The Packway through the Camp have been identified as a potential barrier to walking and cycling. It is therefore proposed that one new signal controlled pedestrian crossing (PELICAN or TOUCAN) be provided on The Packway in the vicinity of Larkhill Primary School to assist pedestrian crossing movements (see location 1 on the
17
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
plan in Appendix C). This should be provided in conjunction with the cycling/walking improvements and traffic calming measures (discussed below). It is proposed that the crossing is delivered prior to full occupation of the SFA site, or a financial contribution be provided in lieu of the works as part of the S106 Agreement (for subsequent delivery by Wiltshire Council).
Traffic Calming on The Packway
6.7.7 In order to improve the safety of all road users and assist in encouraging walking and cycling, it is proposed that measures be introduced to manage vehicle speeds on The Packway immediately adjacent to Larkhill Camp (see locations 1 & 2 on the plan in Appendix C). This will comprise of carriageway roundel speed markings. It is proposed that a suitable scheme be developed and agreed with Wiltshire Council for implementation prior to full occupation of the SFA site, or a financial contribution be provided in lieu of the works as part of the S106 Agreement (for subsequent delivery by Wiltshire Council).
6.7.8 In addition, the proposed new site access roundabout junction onto The Packway will offer road safety benefits by acting as a physical traffic calming measure, helping to slow westbound traffic as it enters Larkhill. As part of the access works it is therefore proposed that the existing 40mph speed limit that currently starts just to the east of the junction between The Packway and Wood Road be extended approximately 100m to the east to incorporate the new roundabout.
New Bus Stop Infrastructure
6.7.9 To help encourage use of public transport two new bus stops are proposed on The Packway adjacent to the proposed site access (one for each direction of travel). These will include new bus shelters, flag poles, timetables and Real Time Passenger Information Displays (2 No. Real Time Passenger Information Displays assumed in total). Details to be agreed with Wiltshire Council.
6.7.10 These improvements should be delivered prior to full occupation of the SFA site, or a financial contribution be provided in lieu of the works as part of the S106 Agreement (for subsequent delivery by Wiltshire Council).

7 Targets & Monitoring
7.1 INTRODUCTION
7.1.1 A Travel Plan should include targets, monitoring and management arrangements to ensure that the objectives of the Travel Plan are achieved and that it remains sustainable over the longer term. Targets should be SMART ( Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timebound).
7.2 BASELINE MODAL SPLITS
7.2.1 As this RTP is being prepared prior to occupation of the proposed development no data exists on existing modal splits. Modal split data from 2011 Census journey to work data has therefore been applied as an approximation to enable an initial target reduction to be identified. Data has been obtained from the Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) covering Larkhill Camp and adjacent existing SFA (Ref: Wiltshire 045C). The existing modal splits for this area are summarised in Table 3.
Table 3 – Existing Modal Splits for LSOA ‘Wiltshire 045C’ Mode of Travel Percentage of Total Driving a Car or Van 43.7% On Foot 25.5% Train 12.1% Bicycle 8.9% Passenger in a Car or Van 3.7% Bus, Minibus or Coach 3.2% Other Method of Travel to Work 1.4% Motorcycle, Scooter or Moped 1.2% Underground, Metro, Light Rail, Tram 0.2% Taxi 0.1% Total 100% Note : the 2011 Census included people living in communal establishments including military bases.
7.3 TARGETS
7.3.1 Based on the 2011 Census travel to work data the existing modal share for driving a car/van is already low and the proportion walking is high for this rural location (this is likely to be due to the inclusion of military personnel in the 2011 Census data). Improving on this modal share could therefore be challenging. An initial target is therefore proposed of a 10% reduction in car use which is equivalent to a modal shift of 4.4% away from car driving towards more sustainable modes, in particular walking, cycling and car sharing. A target of a 39% car driver mode share is considered a reasonable initial target for the monitoring of the RTP at this pre-occupation stage, but should be reviewed following completion of the first travel survey.
19
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
7.3.2 The initial target is considered to be SMART because:
• Specific – it applies to development car driver trips;
• Measurable – the proposed site travel surveys / automatic traffic counts will establish baseline mode shares and monitor progress;
• Achievable / Realistic – the proposed modal shift of 6% away from car driving is considered realistic (based on 2011 Census journey to work data and subject to review); and
• Timebound – the achievement of the target is set for 3 years after the first occupation on the development which should allow sufficient time for a reasonable proportion of the development to be built/occupied and travel patterns to become established.
7.3.3 Specific targets relating to increased use of walking, cycling or bus use are not considered to be particularly helpful in this instance as there is no reason to promote any particular sustainable mode at the expense of other sustainable modes. This is in accordance with the guidance in the DfT document ‘Good Practice Guideline: Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process’.
7.4 MONITORING
7.4.1 Best practice guidance recommends that a commitment to produce an annual monitoring and review report for the Local Planning and Highway Authorities should be included within each Travel Plan.
7.4.2 The measures introduced will need to be monitored to ensure that targets are achieved. It is therefore proposed that a baseline travel survey of residents would be undertaken upon occupation of the 50th dwelling. Further surveys would then be undertaken on an annual basis to establish changes/trends in travel to/from the development as it progresses. The resident travel survey would be a questionnaire based survey, the format and content of which would be agreed with Wiltshire Council prior to issue.
7.4.3 The resident travel surveys would be complemented by the installation of an Automatic Traffic Counter (ATC) on the proposed site access roads for a 7-day period (to be agreed with Wiltshire Council) upon occupation of the 100th dwelling. The results from the ATC surveys would indicate the average weekday peak hour and daily traffic flows associated with the development and provide indicative trip rates per dwelling for the development.
7.4.4 In addition to the resident travel surveys and ATC, the monitoring report will provide details of the proportion of service personnel living in SFA at the same location as their duty station.
20
Army Basing Programme: Infrastructure Delivery Larkhill SFA Residential Travel Plan
7.4.5 The results of the ATCs, resident’s travel surveys and proportion of service personnel living and working at the same location will be compiled to form a monitoring report, which will be submitted to Wiltshire Council within 3 months of completion of the surveys. The monitoring report will identify whether the Travel Plan targets are being achieved and, if not, what further steps will be taken to seek to achieve the targets in the following 12 months. This flexible approach demonstrates a commitment from the Army to work with Wiltshire Council to deliver the most appropriate package of measures to encourage sustainable travel. The monitoring reports will be completed on an annual basis for a period of no less than 4 years from the initial monitoring report.

8 Conclusion
8.1.1 This Residential Travel Plan has been produced to accord with guidance provided in relevant national and local policy documents. It sets out the site strategies and measures that will be introduced to influence modal choice with a view to reducing dependency upon the private car.
8.1.2 An audit of the existing pedestrian, cycling and public transport facilities in the area has been carried out which indicates that sustainable travel opportunities for residents and visitors to the proposed development are reasonable. Local amenities and facilities in Larkhill are within a reasonable walk/cycle distance of the proposed development and regular bus services to Salisbury and local settlements are also within a reasonable walking distance of the site.
8.1.3 A number of specific measures have been put forward to reduce the need to travel, to encourage residents and visitors to use sustainable travel modes and to ensure that they have sufficient information to make informed choices on their modes of travel. It is proposed that an initial target of a car driver mode share of 39% within 3 years of the first occupation is adopted for the proposed development and a monitoring strategy has been suggested.
8.1.4 The initial target is based on 2011 Census travel to work data for the local area and will need to be reviewed and agreed with Wiltshire Council once site-specific travel survey data is available. Similarly the proposed measures may need to be further developed following occupation of the proposed SFA development and once travel patterns have been established.
8.1.5 The package of measures outlined in this report is considered to be robust and appropriate to the development proposals and the site location. This RTP is therefore considered suitable for future development of the site.
