PTB Transport Planning Ltd - 2 - T16514 TP - Email.docx T16514 Rugby Free Schools 2.0 THE NEED FOR TRAVEL PLANS 2.1 Central Government Policy 2.1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) came into force on 27th March 2012, replacing all the previous Planning Policy Statements (PPSs) and Planning Policy Guidance (PPGs) including PPG13 on Transport. 2.1.2 The NPPF sets out the Government’s economic, environmental and social planning policies for England. These policies articulate the Government’s vision of sustainable development, which should be interpreted and applied locally to meet local aspirations. 2.1.3 Section 4 of the NPPF covers ‘Promoting Sustainable Transport’. Within this section it is stated that developments should be located and designed where practical to: • Accommodate the efficient delivery of goods and supplies; • Give priority to pedestrian and cycle movements, and have access to high quality public transport facilities; • Create safe and secure layouts which minimise conflicts between traffic and cyclists or pedestrians, avoiding street clutter and where appropriate, establishing home zones; • Incorporate facilities for charging plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles; and • Consider the needs of people with disabilities by all modes of transport. 2.1.4 NPPF establishes Travel Plans as ‘‘a key tool” to facilitate these aims; NPPF states that all developments which generate significant amounts of movement should be required to provide a Travel Plan. 2.2 Local Authorities and Travel Plans 2.2.1 Warwickshire County Council’s (WCC) third Local Transport Plan (LTP) sets out the sets out the transport strategy and policies for the County from 2011 to 2026. 2.2.2 Travel Plans are noted throughout the LTP as a key mechanism for achieving the goals of WCC as the local highway authority. 2.2.3 With regard to the ‘Changing Travel Behaviour Strategy’ Policy CTB2: School Travel Plans states: • The County Council will work with schools to develop and implement School Travel Plans to reduce car use and increase use of healthy and sustainable modes of travel for journeys to school. PTB Transport Planning Ltd - 3 - T16514 TP - Email.docx T16514 Rugby Free Schools 2.2.4 The main aim of School Travel Plans is to set out a package of measures or initiatives aimed at improving safety on the journey to school and encouraging use of more healthy and sustainable modes of travel to school. As well as helping to reduce peak hour congestion, School Travel Plans can also help to improve safety and the environment around schools. 2.2.5 Appendix B of the LTP sets out WCC’s ‘Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy’ the purpose of which is to improve and publicise their travel to school schemes for children and their families. The strategy sets out a number of polices related to School Travel Plans and related topics such as; • Improving walking routes to school; • Improving cycling routes to school; • Promoting walking and cycling to school; • Road safety; • Bus travel to school; • Independent travel training; and • Publicising travel to school information. 2.2.6 This School Travel Plan sets out measures and initiatives that are in line with WCC’s policy goals. PTB Transport Planning Ltd - 4 - T16514 TP - Email.docx T16514 Rugby Free Schools 3.0 TRAVEL PLAN STRUCTURE 3.1 Travel Plan Aims 3.1.1 A Travel Plan is defined as a package of measures intended to encourage sustainable travel choices and reduce the reliance on the private car; this effectively requires identifying and implementing a set of interconnected measures and initiatives which will reduce the environmental impact of the travel associated with a development, particularly through the use of public transport, walking and cycling. 3.1.2 Generally, a Travel Plan should incorporate the following: • A site audit to identify all existing transport links to the site and any initiatives that are already in place; • Identification of the primary objectives of the plan, through which the scope of the plan can be developed and against which the performance of the plan can be measured; • Identification of measures and initiatives to achieve these objectives; • A methodology for formulating the plan, incorporating implementation processes and the roles/responsibilities of all parties involved; • A monitoring programme, incorporating ongoing promotion and communication 3.1.3 The specific aim of the Travel Plan for this proposed educational facility would be to promote and facilitate sustainable travel choices to be made; in turn, this would link to the principal aim for the site, which would be to make it as sustainable as possible in terms of people movement. 3.2 Travel Plan Objectives 3.2.1 The primary objectives of the plan for this educational development are as follows: • To minimise school-run car traffic generation; • To improve the quality of the journey for pupils and staff who choose to walk, cycle, use the bus or train to travel to or from school; • To reduce localised congestion at school-run times at the school gate and on neighbouring streets; • To reduce local environmental pollution from travel to school; • To promote physical fitness of pupils/students by encouraging walking and cycling to school; and • To maximise other personal benefits from walking and cycling, for example road safety education and increased independence in making PTB Transport Planning Ltd - 5 - T16514 TP - Email.docx T16514 Rugby Free Schools journeys to school. 3.3 Methodology for Formulating the Travel Plan 3.3.1 A detailed timetable is provided in Chapters 6 & 7, however the implementation process for the School Travel Plan once the site is in operation is likely to be as follows: • Appoint a School Travel Plan Coordinator; • Implement initial measures/initiatives; • Derive potential travel patterns to/from the site once the site is operational and adapt measures/initiatives accordingly.

  • Harborough Magna with Easenhall
    REVEL BENEFICE Passionate about sharing God’s love with the whole community Page 1 of 32 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION There has been a willingness and commitment of the parishes within the Revel Benefice to re- think how mission and ministry might look in their rural context. A few years ago, I challenged them to do some work on what the future shape of their ministry might look like. To their great credit they have taken up the challenge and responded very well. The Parish Profile reflects how far their thinking has come, along with changes in structure they have already made. They have engaged healthily with the 8 Essential Qualities, which they have undertaken as a whole benefice. This has enabled their journey of growing as a mission shaped church to continue. A growth in shared ministry, lay leadership and working together has continued to bear fruit through Messy church, and a growing relationship with schools, has enabled the mission and ministry to continue even with the challenges posed by illness and early retirement of the previous incumbent. The Revel journey draws on a spiritual heritage I found very inspiring when arriving in Coventry Diocese. It can be read in a little but influential book by Stephen Verney called, ‘Fire in Coventry’, and describes how the Spirit moved in the hearts of people in Monks Kirby and the spiritual awakening across the Diocese that happened as a result. My hope and prayer is that this benefice may once again be a place of influential spiritual momentum. This heritage in the spiritual dynamic of laity, has given energy to new forms of mission and ministry in a rural context.

To the east the historic Newnham Paddox registered park and garden borders, and forms part of, the Conservation Area. The village is broadly linear in form and the designation covers all buildings together with large areas of undeveloped land. The Conservation Area incorporates a range of architectural styles with two definitive character areas; the eastern and western portions of the village. The east is more agricultural focused; the west is the historic core. The village was designated a Conservation Area in 1970. Conservation Areas were introduced by the Civic Amenities Act in 1967. A Conservation Area is defined by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as an ‘area of special architectural or historic interest, the character of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’. Section 69 of the Act places a duty on the Local Authority to review its Conservation Areas, Section 71 requires the Authority to formulate and publish proposals for their preservation and enhancement.
