Executive Summary

This Travel Plan (TP) has been prepared by Jubb, on behalf of Bristol City Council (BCC), in support of an outline planning application for a residential development of up to 268 dwellings on land at the Romney House site, Lockleaze, Bristol. The document is being submitted to discharge condition 18 of the outline planning permission worded as follows:

“Prior to commencement of the development (save Enabling Works) , a revised Travel Plan written using the template available at www.bristol.gov.uk/travelplans shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with South Council.

The approved Travel Plan shall then be implemented, monitored and reviewed in accordance with the agreed Travel Plan to the satisfaction of Local Planning Authority in consultation with Council unless agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority in consultation with South Gloucestershire Council.”

The site is well placed to access local pedestrian, cycle networks (including the Concorde Way) and is in close proximity to public transport with bus stops being provided within the site on Romney Avenue and nearby at Bonnington Walk.

Regular bus services link the site with Bristol City Centre, a mainline railway station and services and facilities including Southmead Hospital and retail areas.

Links to the neighbouring community of Cheswick Village (in neighbouring South Gloucestershire) are also good and would be enhanced as part of this development.

BCC however recognises that the area of Lockleaze requires further enhancements to sustainable transport to support development and are developing schemes to enhance the existing network.

This document forms an overarching strategy for the proposed development, setting out key objectives, targets and a set of initiatives and measures that are intended to reduce both the number of and length of vehicular trips generated by the proposed development.

The objective of this Interim Travel Plan is to achieve the following ‘outcomes’:

. Minimise single occupancy car travel to and from the development; . Identify which measures are needed to maximise the use of non-car travel; . Lead to a change in the travel behaviour of individuals to a sustainable mode of travel and then maintain that change; . Identify ways of reducing the need to travel to and from the development.

The core aim of this Interim Travel Plan is to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips to and from the site, through increased use of public transport, walking and cycling.

To achieve these outcomes and the core aim, a series of suggested targets for each of the key travel modes are as follows:

5

. Achieve a 10% reduction in single occupancy car journeys . Achieve a 6% increase in walking and cycling journeys . Achieve a 3% increase in public transport journeys . Achieve a 1% increase in car sharing journeys

The Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC) will play a vital role in the success of the travel plan and will be responsible for the day-to-day running of it. The TPCs details are provided below.

Table 1 – TPC Contact Details

The TPC will work closely with external partners in order to remain up to date on the latest information, initiatives and technology in sustainable travel. External partners will include local public transport providers, TPCs from other developments, local community representatives and other local partners (e.g. cycle shops).

In discussions between the applicant and BCCs Sustainable Transport Team it has been agreed that BCC Sustainable Transport will undertake the implementation of the Travel plan on the applicant’s behalf and is subject to an implementation fee of £36,180 (based on a cost per dwelling of £135 x 268 dwellings on site).

In paying the Travel Plan implementation fee the applicant will be released from travel planning obligations over the 5-year period of this travel plan.

Progress against the Travel Plan will be monitored through biennial traffic counts and travel surveys – these will be the responsibility of BCC Sustainable Transport.

The results of these surveys will be analysed with the findings likely compiled into a monitoring report where follow on actions and measures will be set out.

2. Policy

Relevant Policies

2.1.1. The relevant Travel Plan policies as set out in BCC’s Travel Plan template are:

Figure 2.1 – BCC TP Policies

9

2.1.2. Policy DM23 of the Bristol Local Plan Site Allocations and Development Management Policies (2014) states:

“Development should not give rise to unacceptable traffic conditions and will be expected to provide:

i. Safe and adequate access for all sections of the community within the development and onto the highway network including designs which secure low vehicle speeds; and

ii. Adequate access to public transport including, where necessary, provision for public transport improvements; and

iii. For appropriate transport improvements to overcome unsatisfactory transport conditions created or exacerbated by the development; and

iv. For pedestrians and cyclists including, where appropriate, enhancing the pedestrian and cycle network and, for major non-residential schemes, providing adequate changing, shower, storage and drying facilities for cyclists.

Proposals should be supported by a Transport Assessment and/or a Travel Plan where development is likely to have a significant traffic impact.

Public rights of way

Development will be expected to protect and enhance the function and amenity of public rights of way. Diversions of public rights of way will only be appropriate where an alternative route of equal or improved character, amenity, safety, directness and convenience is provided.

2.1.3. The site has been carefully, and sensitivity designed to provide a high-quality environment for pedestrians and cyclists and incorporates feature to secure low traffic speeds. The site incorporates a new point of pedestrian and cycle access to the neighbouring Cheswick Village development thus enhancing the existing network as well as providing a link to the existing shared use path adjacent the site to the south.

2.1.4. Policy DM24 of the Bristol Local Plan Site Allocations and Development Management Policies (2014) states:

“Land required for the implementation of the following transport schemes will be safeguarded to enable their future provision:

. Romney Avenue Bus Link

2.1.5. While the proposed development would require an alteration to the link in order to facilitate its delivery, a bus only link is maintained as part of the proposals.

10

2.1.6. Policy DM25 Greenways states:

“In order to maximise opportunities for walking and cycling:

. Development will protect the function and amenity of existing Greenway routes. . Development which contains proposed Greenway routes should incorporate and . provide the proposed route contained within the development site. . Development which is adjacent to the Greenway network should, where possible, . Provide spurs to connect with existing or proposed routes.

Any new sections of Greenway routes or spurs should be appropriately designed and landscaped to optimise use by pedestrians and cyclists, ensure the safety and security of users and protect or enhance the location’s character and nature conservation value.”

2.1.7. The site incorporates a linear park feature to lead persons into the proposals and also provides links into the existing shared use path adjacent the site to the south.

3. Site Audit and Accessibility

The Site

3.1.1. This chapter provides an overview of the current travel and transport situation at the development site. It is based upon the findings of a thorough audit of the existing site conditions, the current site use and surrounding travel networks.

Site Location

3.2.1. The proposed development site is in the Lockleaze area of Bristol. Bristol is a city with a population of around 450,000 people (though the wider urban area has a population of around 620,000) and is the largest city in the south west of and is one of ten of the core cities (outside of London) in the UK. Bristol is located some 170km west of London, 57km west of Swindon, 41km east of Cardiff and 18km north west of Bath. The location of Bristol in the regional context is shown in Figure 3.1 below.

Figure 3.1 – Location of Bristol (Regional Context)

12

3.2.2. Bristol is well connected by road and rail to other parts of England and South Wales as it is positioned south of the interchange of the M4 and M5 motorways which provide links to the east of England and London and the and South Western coast respectively. Bristol also benefits from major railway lines linking it to London, South Wales, the Midlands and the south west and south coasts.

3.2.3. Considering the proposed development site in detail, the Romney House Site, is located approximately 5.1 km (as the crow flies) north east of the centre of Bristol. The site is an irregular shaped parcel of land that is bounded by residential uses to the north, north east and south, green open space at Stoke Park to the south east and playing fields (currently being developed for housing) to the north west.

3.2.4. The site is currently unoccupied but has an extant use as office accommodation with associated car parking with the most recent occupier being BCC; the land was previously occupied by the former Lockleaze Secondary School. Figure 3.2 below shows the location of the site in the context of central Bristol.

Figure 3.2 – Romney House Site Location (Local Context)

13

Pedestrian Access

3.3.1. At present the site benefits from two points of pedestrian access with the current primary point of pedestrian access being provided off Romney Avenue adjacent the point of vehicular access with the secondary point of access being provided to the south of the site off Hogarth Walk.

3.3.2. Considering the primary point of access, this access links into the pedestrian footway that is provided on the western side of the carriageway of Romney Avenue; Romney Avenue is fully street-lit along its entire length.

3.3.3. To the north of the existing vehicular access, Romney Avenue is provided with footways only on the western side and provides a width of 3.0m wide. These footways route north along Romney Avenue and provides a link into the Cheswick Village housing development adjacent the site’s northern boundary.

3.3.4. Moving south of the access, the footway continues south again on the western side of the carriageway on the western side of Romney Avenue.

3.3.5. Approximately 95m south of the pedestrian access off Romney Avenue, Romney Avenue meets with and links into the footways on Hogarth Walk on its western side while on the eastern side footway provision (of 2.0m width) begins and links with the pedestrian/cycle link that routes between the ‘Vench’ and Cheswick Village at Long Wood Meadow.

3.3.6. An uncontrolled pedestrian crossing point comprising dropped kerbs and tactile paving allows pedestrians to cross the bellmouth of Hogarth Walk.

3.3.7. The footways continue south on both sides of Romney Avenue; the footway on the western side where continues a 3.0m width while on the eastern side the footway widens from 2.0m to 3.0m opposite No. 292 Romney Avenue.

3.3.8. After some 370m Romney Avenue meets Cameron Walk where the footway connects into those of Cameron Walk, providing a width of 3.0m on both sides, which in turn leads to the footways around Gainsborough Square – an uncontrolled crossing point taking the form of a dropped kerb crossing point is provided on Cameron Walk just west of the bellmouth.

3.3.9. Moving to Gainsborough Square, this has footway provision on both its inner and outer rings and is street-lit throughout; in addition, diagonal pedestrian routes cross the green centre of square. On the inner ring, the footway varies in width between 2.0m and 4.5m while on the outer ring the footway varies in width between 2.0m and 5.0m.

3.3.10. Crossing facilities are provided across the square and take the form of uncontrolled dropped kerb crossing points with tactile paving and are provided in a number of locations around the square.

3.3.11. Returning to Romney Avenue, the footways continue along Romney Avenue and beyond where it becomes Shaldon Road and connects into the footways provided on the northern side of the B4469 Muller Road.

14

3.3.12. At the signal controlled junction between the B4469 Muller Road and Shaldon Road, signalised crossing facilities are incorporated into the junction on the Shaldon Road arm and on the northern arm of the B4469 Muller Road thus facilitating crossing in both the north-south and east-west directions respectively.

3.3.13. Both crossing points incorporate dropped kerbs, tactile paving, nearside pedestrian pushbutton and indicator units, on-crossing detector units. Tactile rotating cones and road studs are provided for the visually impaired. In addition, on the B446 Muller Road arm, a pedestrian refuge island is provided in the centre of the carriageway.

3.3.14. From the junction with the B446 Muller Road pedestrians can route either north (towards Horfield) or south (towards Eastgate) and use the wider footway network that permeates through Bristol or they can continue west (towards Ashley Down) along Station Lane which passes beneath the Cross-Country railway line and links into the Concorde Way; the Concorde Way will be covered in greater detail in the cycling accessibility section.

3.3.15. Returning to the site and the secondary point of access, Hogarth Walk has footways running on both sides of the carriageway both providing a width of around 2.8m and is street-lit throughout along its entire length; however, it should be noted that the usable footway width reduces significantly in places due to parked vehicles which obstruct the footway.

3.3.16. Where Hogarth Walk meets side roads, pedestrian crossing facilities that might be expected in residential estates (i.e. uncontrolled with dropped kerbs and tactile paving) are not provided.

3.3.17. At its western end, Hogarth Walk meets Landseer Avenue, which provides footways on both sides of the carriageways both providing a width of around 1.8m and is street-lit throughout along its entire length. However, again cars are noted that in places parked vehicles are observe obstructing the footway.

3.3.18. Approximately 95m to the north of the junction with Hogarth Walk, Landseer Avenue currently provide access to the Dings Crusaders rugby club but will in time provides access to the new Redrow housing development of ‘Lawrence Green’ at Cheswick Village which in turn provides access wider area of Cheswick Village and on to and areas.

3.3.19. Approximately 95m to the south of the junction with Hogarth Walk, Landseer Avenue meets Bonnington Walk at a crossroad junction and connects into the footways on Bonnington Walk. Uncontrolled pedestrian crossing points are provided on both Landseer Avenue arms and take the form of simple dropped kerb crossings; no crossing points are provided over Bonnington Walk.

3.3.20. Bonnington Walk provides footways on both sides of the carriageway providing a width of around 3.0m on both sides and is street-lit throughout along its entire length. To the south east, some 440m south east of the junction with Landseer Avenue, Bonington Walk links into the north-western corner of Gainsborough Square.

15

3.3.21. To the west, after some 160m Bonnington Walk meets the Concorde Way route (which will be covered in greater detail in the cycle accessibility section) and continues west over the Cross-Country railway line via a road bridge – uncontrolled crossing points taking the form of dropped kerbs and a pedestrian refuge island are provided either side of the road bridge.

3.3.22. Just past the road bridge, Bonnington Walk becomes Melton Crescent and subsequently after some 170m, it becomes Bridge Walk. Again, the footways continue on both sides of the carriageway and providing a width of 3.0m on both sides and is street-lit throughout along its entire length.

3.3.23. Bridge Walk meets Filton Avenue at its far western end (some 570m west of the junction between Bonnington Walk and Landseer Avenue). Here at the signal controlled junction between Filton Avenue, Bridge Walk and Toronto Road, signal controlled pedestrian crossing points are incorporated into the junction on all four arms.

3.3.24. All crossing points incorporate dropped kerbs, tactile paving, nearside pedestrian pushbutton and indicator units, on-crossing detector units. Tactile rotating cones and road studs are provided for the visually impaired.

3.3.25. From the junction with Filton Avenue, pedestrians can route either north, south or west using the wider footway network that permeates through Bristol; to the north they can head to Filton, to the south towards Horfield or west towards the A38 and beyond towards Southmead.

Cycle Access and Network

3.4.1. In the local context, cycle access to the site is achieved via the existing highway network and the two points of vehicular access (off Romney Avenue and off Hogarth Walk); given the predominant residential context means streets are relatively lightly trafficked and suitable for cycling.

3.4.2. The Romney Avenue ‘bus link’ which links Romney Avenue in Lockleaze with Danby Street in Cheswick Village while an additional route taking the form of a shared foot/cyclepath between the Romney House site and the ‘Vench’ adventure playground is also available. Both routes provide access to Cheswick Village as well as the University of the West of England ‘s (UWE) campus.

3.4.3. In the wider local context, Figure 3.3 below shows an extract of the Bristol Cycle Map as provided on the ‘Better by Bike’ website (https://betterbybike.info/) which provides a wealth of cycle information for the west of England area.

16

Figure 3.3 – Extract from Bristol Cycle Map (source: https://betterbybike.info)

3.4.4. As can be seen from the Bristol Cycle Map, the ‘Concorde Way’ routes broadly north-south and passes to within 500m to the west of site. In addition, the ‘Frome Greenway’ also routes broadly north-south and passes within 1.0km to the east of the site.

3.4.5. The ‘Concorde Way’ is a cycle/pedestrian route with both traffic free and on-road sections that routes between Bristol Parkway railway station in (in neighbouring South Gloucestershire) and the St. Werburgh’s and St Paul’s area of Bristol where it connects into the ‘Frome Greenway’ which continues a short distance in to city centre of Bristol.

3.4.6. The path of the Concorde Way routes via the Abbey Wood area where it provides connections to the Filton Abbey Wood station, the Ministry of Defence offices and the retail park are made, as well as the Lockleaze area, the Horfield and Ashley Down areas of Bristol.

17

3.4.7. As set out earlier in the report, access to the ‘Concorde Way’ from the site can be achieved by way of Bonnington Walk where the two routes meet just east of the road bridge over the railway line.

3.4.8. Comprising a mix of traffic free and on-road sections, the Concorde Way varies in width with off-road traffic free sections typically providing a 3.0m wide foot/cycle path with sections of the route benefitting from street lighting. The Concorde Way is signposted along the route to assist with users with wayfinding.

3.4.9. The ‘Frome Greenway’ is also a cycle/pedestrian route with both traffic free and on-road sections that routes between UWE Frenchay and Bristol city centre. The path of the Frome Greenway routes via the Stoke Park estate and beneath the and in to the Broomhill, Stapleton, Eastville and St Paul’s areas.

3.4.10. Access to the ‘Frome Greenway’ can be achieved by way of the shared cycle/footway that routes between the site and the ‘Vench’ which into a path adjacent Hermitage Wood and Long Down Avenue. The

3.4.11. Comprising a mix of traffic free and on-road sections, the Frome Greenway varies in width with off- road traffic free sections typically providing a 3.0m width foot/cycle path the route is largely street-lit along its path. The Frome Greenway is signposted along the route to assist with users with wayfinding.

3.4.12. Figure 3.4 on the following page shows an extract of the Sustrans cycle mapping as provided on the Sustrans website (https://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map) and shows Concorde Way and Frome Greenway in the context of the centre of Bristol.

18

Figure 3.4 – Extract from Sustrans Online Cycle Mapping (source: https://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map)

3.4.13. As can be seen from Figure 3.4 above, both the Concorde Way and Frome Greenway offer connections to the long distance national cycle routes in and around Bristol.

3.4.14. In Bristol city centre, connection to the following National Cycle Routes is possible;

. Route 3; . Route 4; . (Regional) Route 16; . Route 33; and . Route 41.

3.4.15. Route 3 runs between Land End in Cornwall and Bristol via St Austell, Bude, Barnstaple, and Wells. In the context of Bristol, this route links with areas of south east Bristol (e.g. St Phillips, Knowle and Hengrove).

19

3.4.16. Route 4 runs between London and Fishguard via Reading, Bath, Bristol, Newport, Tenby, Haverfordwest and St. Davids. In the context of Bristol, this route links with areas of east Bristol (e.g. Fishponds, Staple Hill and ) and areas of north Bristol (e.g. Clifton, The Downs and Westbury on Trym).

3.4.17. Regional Route 16 broadly follows the route of the A4174 Bristol Ring Road and links between , Bromley Heath, Frenchay and Filton.

3.4.18. Route 33 runs between Bristol and Nailsea. In the context of Bristol, this route links with areas of west and south west Bristol (e.g. Spike Island, Ashton Court and Long Ashton).

3.4.19. Route 41 runs between Bristol and via Avonmouth, Slimbridge and Gloucester. In the context of Bristol, this route links with areas of north west Bristol (e.g. Leigh Woods, Ham Green and Pill).

Table 3.3 – Summary Table of Local Facilities including distance and Walk/Cycle time

3.7.4. As can be seen from Table 3.3 and the isochrone plans provided at Appendix A the proposed site is positioned well within walking and cycling distance of a range of local facilities and services.

3.7.5. Indeed, many of the key day-to-day facilities including a food store, post office, leisure, education and community facilities are within an 800m walk/cycle of the site. As such, these destinations are readily accessible from the proposed site in line with Manual for Streets guidance, which states that “walkable neighbourhoods are typically characterised by having a range of facilities within 10 minutes’ (up to about 800m) walking distance of residential areas which residents may access comfortably on foot”.

3.7.6. Importantly, Manual for Streets guidance also notes that 800m is not an upper limit. Significantly, IHT guidance (2000) sets out the suggested acceptable walking distances, for pedestrians without a mobility impairment, to common facilities in a range of situations and purposes. Table 3.4 below presents this guidance.

25

Commuting/School Town Centres (m) Elsewhere (m) Sight-seeing (m) Desirable 200 500 400 Acceptable 400 1000 800 Preferred Maximum 800 2000 1200

Table 3.4 – IHT Walk Distance Guidance

3.7.7. A wider range of provisions, including health care facilities and access to the rail network lie within a 2000m walk of the development site. Thus, in line with the IHT guidance these facilities and services can be reached on foot.

3.7.8. Therefore, in line with Manual for Streets guidance it should be considered that the proposed site lies within walking distance of a number of facilities that serve people’s daily needs, and as a result there will not be a need to depend on the use of the private car for day-to-day trips to these destinations.

3.7.9. In line with Planning for Walking (CIHT, 2015) “most people will only walk if their destination is less than a mile away”. A mile is approximately equivalent to 1600m, and as such, considering the walking distances to local amenities as set out in Table 3.3 it should be considered that walking is a realistic option.

Development Access

3.8.1. This section describes the means of access to serve the proposed development and any changes to the network that the proposed development will bring. Figure 3.9 on the following page shows the site and points of access.

26

Key

Pedestrian/Cycle Access Only

Bus & Ped/Cycle Access

Vehicle & Ped/Cycle Access

Figure 3.9 – Site Boundary and Access Plan

3.8.2. Primary pedestrian and cyclist access to the site will be via Romney Avenue/Danby Street and Hogarth

Walk, with additional secondary access points via Danby Street and the existing shared use path that runs adjacent the sites southern boundary.

3.8.3. The proposals will also integrate the existing bus gate to the north on Romney Avenue which will be adjusted in length to accommodate the proposals. In addition, the existing bus stops on Romney Avenue as discussed above will be relocated to a more central position on Romney Road within the site to enhance the accessibility and prominence of this connection (see Figure 1.1).

Parking Provision

3.9.1. Following discussions with BCCs Transport Development Management (TDM) team the proposed development at Romney house will be supported through the provision of 342 car parking spaces.

3.9.2. Parking will be provided in a mix between on-street parking bays with larger dwellings being provided with off-street parking bays.

3.9.3. Car parking would be provided in a mix of allocated on-plot parking an un-allocated on-street parking as shown on indicative masterplan, though exact configuration will be resolved at the reserved matters stage.

3.9.4. Electric vehicle charging points will also be provided to support the site.

27

3.9.5. Regarding on-street provision, it is proposed that a series of electric car charging posts would be provided across the site to serve the on-street bays. Such posts can serve two cars at any one time. The exact location and number of posts is to be resolved as part of a reserved matters application.

3.9.6. The provision of electric charging point for on-plot parking will be provided, detail of which is to be resolved as part of a reserved matters application.

3.9.7. Cycle parking will be provided in accordance with BCCs adopted cycle parking standards.

28

4. Aims, Objectives and Outcomes

Objectives

4.1.1. The objective of this Interim Travel Plan is to achieve the following ‘outcomes’:

. Minimise single occupancy car travel to and from the development; . Identify which measures are needed to maximise the use of non-car travel; . Lead to a change in the travel behaviour of individuals to a sustainable mode of travel and then maintain that change; . Identify ways of reducing the need to travel to and from the development.

Aim

4.2.1. The core aim of this Interim Travel Plan is to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips to and from the site, through increased use of public transport, walking and cycling.

Outcomes

4.3.1. As a means to assess the success of the TP, a package of measurable performance indicators has been prepared.

4.3.2. As the existing travel habits of the end users (future residents of the proposed residential development) are not known at this stage, the widely-adopted methodology of interrogating ‘Method of Travel to Work (QS701EW)’ data from the 2011 census was undertaken.

4.3.3. The data for the Lockleaze Ward, the area of which is shown in Figure 4.1 below, was interrogated. The full data for the Lockleaze Ward is attached at Appendix B.

Figure 4.1 – Lockleaze Ward (source https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/)

29

4.3.4. The interrogation of this data reveals the existing modal split for the Lockleaze area, and as such indicates the anticipated modal split for the proposed residential development. It is assumed that this modal split is representative of the anticipated modal split of the proposed residential development without the implementation of a TP.

4.3.5. Table 4.1 below sets out this anticipated baseline modal split.

Method of Travel Persons Modal Split Car Driver 2899 53.8% Car Passenger 338 6.3% Bus 701 13.0% On Foot 680 12.6% Bicycle 418 7.8% Motorcycle 80 1.5% Other/Taxi 66 1.2% Rail 51 0.9% Work From Home 160 3.0% TOTAL 5233 100%

Table 4.1 – Estimated Modal Split (2011 Census: Lockleaze Ward)

4.3.6. Based on the anticipated modal split for the proposed residential development, the following initial outcomes have been set for a 5-year implementation period from the occupation of the proposed residential development:

30

. Achieve a reduction in single occupancy car journeys over the life of the TP; . Achieve an increase in walking journeys and cycling journeys over the life of the TP; . Achieve an increase in public transport journeys over the life of the TP; . Achieve an increase in car sharing journeys over the life the TP; and . Achieve 75% awareness of the TP.

4.3.7. These outcomes will inform the initial targets which are set out later in this Interim Travel Plan.

4.3.8. To achieve these outcomes, the applicant has agreed that BCCs Sustainable Transport Team will undertake the implementation of the Travel Plan on the applicant’s behalf and will take on, or otherwise appoint the Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC).

4.3.9. An implementation fee of £36,180 (based on a cost per dwelling of £135 x 268 dwellings on site) will afford the BCC Sustainable Transport Team an appropriate budget to perform their tasks and to fund measures as appropriate to achieve the stated aims.

4.3.10. It is anticipated that a biennial monitoring and review process will take place – this would likely take the form of travel survey questionnaires, traffic counts at the site accesses, and review/analysis of progress against the stated targets in the form of a monitoring report produced following the surveys.

4.3.11. These biennial surveys will not only inform progress against the stated aims and targets, it will assist the TPC in determining which modes need to be targeted to achieve the stated aims and targets and assist them in deciding which measures to promote or introduce and when that may be most effective and or appropriate.

4.3.12. However, it should be remembered that the site itself has been carefully designed to provide a high- quality environment for pedestrians and cyclists and incorporates feature to secure low traffic speeds.

4.3.13. The site incorporates a new point of pedestrian and cycle access with a new access to the neighbouring Cheswick Village development network as well as providing a link to the existing shared use path adjacent the site to the south thus enhancing the existing. Both of which accord with Policy DM23 of the Bristol Local Plan Site Allocations and Development Management Policies (2014).

4.3.14. The site also incorporates enhanced bus stop facilities and while the proposed development would require an alteration to the bus only link in order to facilitate its delivery, a bus only link is maintained as part of the proposals which accords with Policy DM24.

4.3.15. It should be considered that as a Travel Plan is a ‘living’ document that evolves and responds to changes and demand, and as such these targets could be reviewed and a phased set of targets set. This would allow the targets to be adapted to the travel information revealed in the survey of the future residents of the proposed residential development.

31

5. Management and Delivery Structure

Management

5.1.1. The successful impact of the Travel Plan will be dependent upon buy-in from occupants of the development, and the processes put in place to support, implement and develop the measures outlined.

5.1.2. The nominated Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC) plays a vital role in the success of the Travel Plan and is responsible for the day-to-day management, co-ordination, promotion and implementation of the Travel Plan. The TPC will also be a point of contact for Bristol City Council, and for any occupants who have queries about their travel.

5.1.3. A TPC will be appointed prior to first occupation of the proposed residential development and space is provided below, in Table 5.1, for their contact details to be provided – for any queries in the interim period, please contact Bristol City Council’s Housing Delivery Team at the address given below.

Table 5.1 – TPC Contact Details

5.1.4. The TPC will be a ‘champion of the cause’, and will be responsible for all aspects of the TP. The TPC’s primary responsibilities will be as follows:

. Show enthusiasm, negotiation skills and effective communication skills; . Be the ‘human face’ of the TP, ensuring that the document is both visible and accessible; . Lead the launch and implementation of the TP; . Liaise with external organisations, for example Bristol City Council, local bus operators etc. . Arrange travel surveys; . Encourage uptake of sustainable transport measures by residents, necessary at first occupation of the proposed residential development and annually thereafter throughout the ‘life’ of the TP; . Maintain all necessary systems, data and paperwork, for example records of the distribution of ‘Welcome Packs’; . Periodically update the proposed residential development’s dedicated TP notice board; and . Implement the monitoring programme for the TP, including setting targets.

32

5.1.5. A key duty of the TPC is to increase the awareness of residents of the proposed residential development, to allow them make informed travel choices. As such, the TPC will be given ample time and resource to effectively implement the TP.

5.1.6. The TPC will work in close partnership with Officers at Bristol City Council and will accordingly seek to promote any transport initiatives that Bristol City Council may have.

Steering Structure

5.2.1. The TPC will work closely with external partners in order to remain up to date on the latest information, initiatives and technology in sustainable travel. These external partners comprise:

. Bristol City Council Officers, whereby this partnership will yield support, advice and guidance on sustainable transport options and initiatives to promote the sustainable transport goals and objectives of the Local Highway Authority; . Public Transport Operators, whereby this partnership will provide the latest information on the frequency, routing and cost of nearby public transport offerings; . Local community representatives, whereby this partnership will yield information regarding the on-site operation of the TP and information on other local transport matters; and . Local cycle stores, whereby this partnership may yield discounts and expertise to encourage cycling as a travel mode.

5.2.2. Community Travel Meetings will be held at yearly, as a means to review the progress and success of the TP and also provide a forum for residents or partners to comment on sustainable travel.

5.2.3. As such, a ‘steering structure’ to guide the TP would be established as shown in Figure 5.1 below.

TP TPC

TPCs from Bristol City Local community Public Transport Local Cycle nearby Council representatives Operators Stores developments

Figure 5.1 – Potential TP Steering Structure

Marketing and Communication Strategy

5.3.1. Marketing can be used to influence the travel choices of new residents of the proposed residential development. As such, the sustainability credentials of the development will be sold as a positive extra by sales staff.

5.3.2. All residents will be made aware of the existence and benefits of the TP on occupation of the proposed residential development. The purpose of the document, its objectives and the role of individuals in achieving these objectives will be described.

33

5.3.3. A ‘Welcome Pack’ will be provided for each dwelling, as part of the promotional material. Production of these materials will be the responsibility of the BCC Sustainable Transport Team and will be introduced to future residents during the sales and welcome process, and will contain information on the TP and sustainable transport information.

5.3.4. This ‘Welcome Pack’ will include the following:

. A summarised version of the TP, for example setting out the purpose and benefits of the document; . An explanation of how an individual can travel sustainably, for example methods of driving to produce fewer emissions; . An explanation of the positives of sustainable transport, including the health- and environmental-related reasons for change; . A leaflet containing information on opportunities for walking, cycling and public transport (e.g. maps showing walking and cycling routes); . Details of the travelwest website which provide comprehensive, up-to-date travel information (https://travelwest.info/); . Contact numbers and website details for bus and rail companies, for example First Bus, the operator of local bus services through Lockleaze (https://www.firstgroup.com/bristol-bath- and-west); . Contact numbers and website details for MetroBus and any operators (https://travelwest.info/metrobus) . Website links for listed car sharing schemes from the travelwest website, for example: o https://www.blablacar.co.uk/, o https://liftshare.com/uk; o https://faxi.co.uk/; o https://gocarshare.com/; and o https://www.joinmyjourney.org (for participating employers); . Details of Local Car Clubs to reduce the need for car ownership; o https://www.enterprisecarclub.co.uk/gb/en/programs/regions/south-west- england/bristol.html; o http://www.co-wheels.org.uk/ . Details of local taxi companies; . Details of local and national cycle organisations/websites, such as the Bristol Cycling Forum which meets regularly at City Hall (https://www.bristol.gov.uk/streets-travel/cycling), Better By Bike (https://betterbybike.info/) and Sustrans (http://www.sustrans.org.uk); . Details of cycle, walking and bus vouchers available and means to apply these; . Details of EV charging points available on site along with directions for use and charging etiquette; . Information on local bicycle shops and repair shops; . Information on working from home (including details of available broadband suppliers); and . Contact details of the TPC and Bristol City Council Travel Plan Officers.

5.3.5. An example of a ‘Welcome Pack’ or ‘Travel Information Pack’ (taken from the Travelwest website for a development in the Greater Bristol area) is provided at Appendix C this would be used as a template to produce a Welcome Pack or Travel Information Pack to support this site.

34

6. Measures and Initiatives

Management

6.1.1. This section of the Interim Travel Plan describes the measures that are proposed in order for the Travel Plan to meet the Aims, Objectives and Targets detailed in Section 4.

6.1.2. All Travel Plans should include a consideration of the following measures, appropriate and proportional to the size and impact of the proposed development, with those selected determined by the specific locality and nature of the site.

. Marketing the Travel Plan . Minimise single occupancy car travel o Car Share o Car parking management strategy . Promotion of public transport use . Promotion of cycling . Promotion of walking . Servicing arrangements

Marketing the Travel Plan

6.2.1. The aforementioned ‘Welcome Pack’ will be the key package that will market the Travel Plan and would be introduced at an early stage as part of the sales or letting process and can be provided in both hard- copy and electronic formats.

6.2.2. A dedicated TP notice board will be installed at an appropriate location within the proposed development, to be visible and readily accessible by residents and visitors. This notice board will display the following:

. Latest travel information, for example key routes for pedestrians and cyclists and public transport information; . Periodical updates on the status and progress of the TP; . Details of forthcoming sustainable travel events, for example ‘car free days’ and ‘bike to work days’ in the surrounding area; . Details of planned infrastructure improvements in the surrounding area; and . Information on the health benefits of active travel.

6.2.3. An online presence is also important, and the TPC could develop a social media page or residents group (e.g. on Facebook or Twitter) which can be used to post details of the Travel Plan and engage with residents.

35

Minimising Single Occupancy Car Travel

Car Sharing

6.3.1. Residents of the proposed residential development will be encouraged to engage with the following websites which can offer a web-based car sharing database to connect individuals who share similar journeys to work:

. https://www.blablacar.co.uk/, . https://liftshare.com/uk; . https://faxi.co.uk/; . https://gocarshare.com/; and . https://www.joinmyjourney.org (for participating employers).

6.3.2. Information regarding this scheme will be included within the ‘Welcome Pack’.

Car Parking Management

6.3.3. Car parking associated with the development will be provide in accordance with adopted Bristol City Council parking policy. Parking will be provided in a mix between on-street parking bays (incorporated into the road corridor design) with larger dwellings being provided with off-street parking bays.

6.3.4. Electric car charging points will be provided throughout the development to allow for on-street electric car charging. Information relating to the chosen charging network provider will be included within the Welcome Pack along with directions for use and charging etiquette.

6.3.5. To reduce the need for private car ownership and hence reduce the need to park, residents will be encouraged to join one of the local car clubs:

. https://www.enterprisecarclub.co.uk; . http://www.co-wheels.org.uk/

6.3.6. To further support the use of a car club a single car club parking space and vehicle will be provided to support the site.

Promotion of public transport use

6.4.1. To augment the information provided within each ‘Welcome Pack’ and displayed on the dedicated notice board, the latest information on changes to public transport services (for example amendments to timetables or changes to fares) may be circulated to residents as and when required – this could include posts on social media.

6.4.2. The travel west website as well as local bus operator websites which provides information on the public transport options for a specific journey will be promoted.

36

6.4.3. In addition, the bus stops on site would be enhanced over the current offering to include a shelter, seating and bus real-time information display screen which would bring these stops into line with stops across the city and would help to encourage bus travel.

Promotion of cycling

6.5.1. Encouragement will be given to residents and visitors of the proposed residential development to travel by bicycle, as a sustainable alternative to the use of the private car.

6.5.2. Means through which cycling could be promoted are as below:

. Promotion of national travel events aimed at encouraging sustainable travel to raise awareness and encourage participation, such as ‘Bike Week’ (http://bikeweek.org.uk/) or Cycle to Work Day (https://www.cycletoworkday.org); . Promotion cycling skills course such as ‘bikeability’ (https://bikeability.org.uk/); . Providing cycle parking within the proposed development (in line with adopted Bristol City Council policy); . Periodically assessing the demand for cycling facilities, and improving these facilities as required (through the biennial surveys); . Promotion of the Better by Bike Website (https://betterbybike.info/); . Promotion of the Sustrans Website (https://www.sustrans.org.uk/); . Provision of cycling maps; . Promotion of cycle to work schemes (open to those whose employers are already registered) . Liaison with Bristol City Council Travel Plan officers regarding schemes or initiative to encourage cycling

Promotion of walking

6.6.1. Encouragement will be given to residents and visitors of the proposed residential development to travel on foot as a sustainable alternative to the use of the private car.

6.6.2. Means through which active travel could be promoted are as below:

. Promotion of national travel events aimed at encouraging sustainable travel to raise awareness and encourage participation, such as Living Streets ‘National Walking Month’ (https://www.livingstreets.org.uk/) . Canvass residents to establish demand for walking initiatives such as ‘buddy schemes’ and a ‘walking school bus’; . Periodically assessing the demand for walking, and improving these facilities as required (through the biennial surveys); . Promotion of the travel west website (https://travelwest.info/) which provides information on walking; . Liaison with Bristol City Council Travel Plan officers regarding schemes or initiative to encourage walking; . Provision of equipment to encourage walking (for example hi-vis or similar as appropriate)

37

Servicing Arrangements

6.7.1. The layout of the site has been designed to accommodate service vehicle requirements as per Bristol City Council standards (e.g. refuse).

6.7.2. Given that the proposed development will generate trips by construction traffic as it is being built out, some consideration needs to be paid to how trips associated with this would be managed.

6.7.3. Vehicular access to the Romney house site is currently achieved from the south via Romney Avenue and Hogarth Walk, access from the north (via Cheswick Village) being restricted by virtue of the Romney Avenue Bus Link.

6.7.4. Hence all construction traffic (light and heavy) would enter the site from the south, but would only do so via Romney Avenue and Shaldon Road as Hogarth Walk would be inappropriate for such use given its narrow width and extensive on-street parking.

6.7.5. Beyond the B4469 Muller Road/Shaldon Road junction, construction traffic would be able to access the wider Bristol highway network.

6.7.6. Construction deliveries will be programmed to occur outside of the AM and PM highway network peaks and to minimise disruption to bus services running along the Romney Avenue bus link, a waiting area/apron may be provided clear of the carriageway to enable waiting construction vehicles to do so clear of the bus link.

6.7.7. However, a Construction Management Plan will be developed and secured against the development by condition and will provide further details on the above points as required.

6.7.8. Given the boom in internet shopping over the past decade, parcel deliveries have increased significantly in recent years. The TPC will explore the possibility of schemes to consolidate parcel deliveries (for example Amazon Locker or Collect+ counter) possibilities may exist to accommodate such a facility at one of the nearby convenience stores or within one of the Local Centres.

38

7. Action Plan & Budget

7.1.1. This section draws together a possible list of proposed measures, monitoring and review proposals into a costed Action Plan that identifies who might be responsible for the delivery of each element.

7.1.2. This Action Plan will be updated to reflect the outcome of each biennial survey to take into account any changes necessary in the measures proposed, in order to meet the targets specified in section 4. The outcome of the monitoring and review process and any impact on this Action Plan will need to be agreed with Bristol City Council.

7.1.3. In discussions between the applicant and BCCs Sustainable Transport Team it has been agreed that BCC Sustainable Transport will undertake the implementation of the Travel plan on the applicant’s behalf and is subject to an implementation fee of £36,180 (based on a cost per dwelling of £135 x 268 dwellings on site).

7.1.4. In paying the Travel Plan implementation fee the applicant will be released from travel planning obligations over the 5-year period of this travel plan.

8. Targets, Monitoring and Review

Targets

8.1.1. Phased interim targets are provided in Table 8.1 below. It should be noted that these targets are interim targets only, representing a ‘starting point’; these targets may be adjusted by BCCs Sustainable Transport Team.

Initial Target Baseline Year 1 Year 3 Year 5 Achieve a 10% reduction in single occupancy car 53.8% 51.8% 47.8% 43.8% journeys Achieve a 6% increase in walking and cycling 20.4% 21.6% 24.0% 26.4% journeys Achieve a 3% increase in public transport journeys 13.0% 13.6% 14.8% 16.0% Achieve a 1% increase in car sharing journeys 6.3% 6.5% 6.9% 7.3%

Table 8.1 – Phased Interim Targets

8.1.2. Corresponding targets have been identified and these represent the measurable goals which can be assessed to determine whether the specific objectives have been met. Targets come in two forms. ‘Action-Type’ targets are non-quantifiable targets and take the form of actions which need to be achieved. ‘Aim-Type’ targets provide a quantifiable result, these have been listed in the above Action Plan. All targets should be SMART:

. Specific; . Measurable; . Achievable; . Realistic; and . Time-bound.

Baseline Travel Data

8.2.1. Until baseline surveys are undertaken, the baseline travel data provided in Table 8.2 below is based on the 2011 Census data (presented in Table 4.1) and interpolation of results from the daily vehicle trip profile provided in the Transport Assessment. In addition to the baseline data – this is set against the target data for Year 5 of the Travel Plan.

Monitoring and Review

8.3.1. Travel Plans are ‘active’ documents that must be reviewed on a regular basis so as to demonstrate that the measures implemented have, over time, met the agreed targets.

8.3.2. It is the responsibility of the TPC to ensure that monitoring takes place and that the outputs are reported. A monitoring report is to be prepared biennially over a 5-year period (i.e. years 1, 3 and 5). The Travel Plan should clearly state who is responsible for monitoring compliance.

8.3.3. Surveys will be undertaken in Years 1, 3 and 5 as set out in the Action Plan Table and will take the form of a single ‘snapshot’ daily traffic count, surveys of cycle parking (in the public domain only) and travel survey questionnaires – an example of a questionnaire is provided at Appendix D of this report. The TPC will be responsible for organising the surveys;

8.3.4. These surveys will be undertaken within six months of first occupation on the site (anticipated in year 2019/20).

8.3.5. The uptake of initiative will also be recorded and reported as it is proposed that financial incentives/measures will need to be applied for by interested residents.

8.3.6. The results of these surveys will be analysed with the results presented in the form of a monitoring report – the TPC will be responsible for organising the analysis results and preparation of the report.

8.3.7. The first baseline/monitoring report will be delivered within one year of first occupation (anticipated in year 2019/20).

8.3.8. The results of the baseline and further monitoring reports will be discussed with other BCC Sustainable Transport Officers who will agree any measures/actions moving forward – no penalties or other punitive charges will be levied against the development should the stated targets be missed.
