A plan of the site location is included as Figure 1 . 1.1.2 This TS report aims to demonstrate that the proposed development site is well located in terms of access to public transport and local facilities and that the proposed development will encourage travel by all modes of transport, particularly alternative modes to the private car. In terms of traffic impact by the private car; assessments have been carried out at the existing junction of the B5106 Station Road with Barton Turn which provides vehicular access to the Barton Marina site. 1.1.3 Staffordshire County Council (SCC) is the local highway authority and East Staffordshire Borough Council (ESBC) is the local planning authority for the area. The TS has been prepared in accordance with the joint Department for Transport (DfT) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) document, Guidance for Transport Assessments. 1.2 REPORT FORMAT 1.2.1 The structure of this report is as follows: • Section 2 describes the existing site and highway network; • Section 3 outlines the development proposals; • Section 4 outlines the policy documents reviewed; • Section 5 sets out the sustainable transport strategy for the proposed development; • Section 6 summarises the highway impact of the proposed development and outlines any mitigation measures; and • Section 7 summarises the report.
