It should not be reproduced in whole or in part, or relied upon by third parties, without the express written authority of Ardent Consulting Engineers. ii AA/191631-01 LILLYBANK FARM, BATTLE 191631-01 TRAVEL PLAN STATEMENT June 2021 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Ardent Consulting Engineers (ACE) has been appointed by Millwood Designer Homes Ltd to prepare a Travel Plan Statement (TPS) to seek discharge of Condition 24 of the consented residential development at land to the west of Lillybank Farm, Wattles Wish, Battle (hereafter known as ‘the site’). 1.2. The site has permission for redevelopment under planning application reference RR/2016/725/P for ‘Residential development with associated open space on land to the west of London Road, with all matters reserved other than access.’ with condition 24 requiring a TPS to be prepared. 1.3. A Transport Statement (TS) accompanied the planning application to Rother District Council (RDC) as the local planning authority. East Sussex County Council (ESCC) is the highway authority responsible for roads in the surrounding area. 1.4. This TPS has been prepared in accordance with the ESCC Travel Plans for Development (February 2020) document, with the aim of promoting the use of sustainable and active modes of travel for journeys to / from the site. It is primarily aimed at residents, but may also have a positive effect on the travel choices of visitors. Purpose of a Travel Plan 1.5. A Travel Plan is defined by the Department for Transport (DfT) and by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) as: a long-term management strategy for an occupier or site that seeks to deliver sustainable transport objectives through positive action and is articulated in a document that is regularly reviewed. 1.6. A TPS has the same goals and aims but is intended for schemes anticipated to have a lower impact. This TPS has been prepared to seek discharge of condition 24 of the approved development. 1.7. The benefits from a TPS can be categorised under three main headings: • Health Benefits; • Environmental Benefits; and AA/191631-01 1 LILLYBANK FARM, BATTLE 191631-01 TRAVEL PLAN STATEMENT June 2021 • Financial Benefits. Health Benefits 1.8. A reduction in the potential number of polluting vehicles on the roads surrounding the site will contribute to better air quality throughout the area. There are also well documented health benefits associated with active travel, such as walking and cycling, which are increasingly being recognised as ways to reduce sedentary lifestyles. 1.9. Regular moderate physical activity (including walking and cycling), can help prevent and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, stroke, mental health problems, high blood pressure, and musculoskeletal problems. Environmental Benefits 1.10. Climate change is a global issue that is affecting nations. The British Government has pledged to play its part in reducing harmful carbon and related emissions by setting carbon reduction targets: “it is the duty of the Secretary of State to ensure that the net UK carbon account for the year 2050 is at least 80% lower than the 1990 baseline. 1.11. Encouraging residents and visitors to make smarter, low carbon travel choices in the way they travel can reduce the impact that new and existing development across the region have on the local environment and air quality. 1.12. An increase in car trips can also contribute to negative local environmental issues such as severance and blight. By encouraging sites to reduce car dependency, the local highway networks will benefit from a reduction in vehicular movements and local communities will benefit from less traffic. Financial Benefits 1.13. There are financial benefits to be gained from increasing active travel rates and reducing harmful emissions produced by vehicles, both for individuals and for wider society. 2 AA/191631-01 LILLYBANK FARM, BATTLE 191631-01 TRAVEL PLAN STATEMENT June 2021 1.14. Individuals (specifically residents and visitors) can benefit financially from travelling to and from a site with a TPS in place due to the improved range of transport options available, some of which may be more cost-effective than car travel. 1.15. In some circumstances, TPS measures can remove an individual’s need for a car (or their household’s need for a second car), minimising the capital and on-going cost of car ownership. 1.16. An effective TPS can help encourage residents and visitors to lessen their environmental impact by reducing emissions from transport, lead a healthier and more active lifestyle, and reduce financial wastage. Structure 1.17. Following this introduction, the remainder of this report is structured as follows: • Section 2.0 describes the existing conditions in terms of the site’s accessibility on foot, by cycle and public transport; • Section 3.0 provides a description of the consented scheme; • Section 4.0 provides details of the aims and objectives; and • Section 5.0 outlines proposed measures and initiatives to encourage use of alternative modes of travel to the private car. 3 AA/191631-01 LILLYBANK FARM, BATTLE 191631-01 TRAVEL PLAN STATEMENT June 2021 2. EXISTING SITUATION 2.1. This section reviews the existing transport facilities in the vicinity of the site for all modes of travel, including walking, cycling, bus, rail and private car. The Site 2.2. The consented site is located on the northern edge of Battle, on land on the western side of the A2100 London Road. The overall site comprises an area of approximately 3.4 hectares, currently accommodates Lillybank Farm and is used for agricultural and equestrian purposes. 2.3. The site is bound by agricultural land to the north, the A2100 London Road to the east and Netherfield Hill to the south and west. The site location is shown at Plate 2.1. SITE Plate 2.1: Site Location (Source: Street Map) 4 AA/191631-01 LILLYBANK FARM, BATTLE 191631-01 TRAVEL PLAN STATEMENT June 2021 2.4. The existing access to Lillybank Farm is taken from Wattle’s Wish, north of Netherfield Road. An informal parking arrangement is in place at the farm without demarcated parking bays or the provision of any cycle parking. 2.5. The A2100 London Road is a single carriageway road, formed of two running lanes, linking Battle Town Centre with the A21 at Hastings to the south and Johns Cross to the north. Adjacent to the site, the carriageway is subject to the national speed limit of 60mph, reducing to a 40mph limit to the south of Virgin’s Lane for approximately 500m and then reducing again to a 30mph limit north of the town centre. Pedestrian Accessibility 2.6. The site’s location to the north of Battle Town Centre means a variety of local amenities and services are available to cater for the day-to-day needs of local residents without the need to travel by car. 2.7. The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) document ‘Providing for Journeys on Foot’ recommends suggested acceptable walking distances of between 500m (6 minutes, “Desirable”) and 2km (25 minutes, “Preferred Maximum”) for commuting and journeys to school. 2.8. Manual for Streets (MfS) identifies walkable neighbourhoods as being those typically characterised by having a range of facilities within an 800m (10 minute) walk distance, however not an upper limit, with walking offering the greatest potential to replace short car trips, particularly those under 2km. 2.9. Battle High Street is located approximately 960m to the south of the site and serves as a key employment and retail area for the town, providing a number of facilities within easy walking and cycling distance from the application site, including retail, supermarkets, restaurants, banking, health and leisure facilities. 2.10. Other local facilities within CIHT and MfS suggested guidance distances from the application site include Market Square (for Jempson’s Local, Post Office, Battle Library and the Battle Museum of Local History), Battle & Langton C of E Primary School, Battle Recreation Ground, Battle Abbey School, Battle Sports Centre and Claverham Community College. 5 AA/191631-01 LILLYBANK FARM, BATTLE 191631-01 TRAVEL PLAN STATEMENT June 2021 2.11. The A2100 London Road is a key route for pedestrians to access Battle. There is a footway on the western side of the carriageway which ranges from approximately 0.8m – 2.0m in width, connecting the site to surrounding public transport infrastructure and local facilities.

  • Bluebell Railway Education Department
    BLUEBELL RAILWAY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT 4a. The development of the railway coach 1. The earliest form of railway coach resembled the stagecoach as can be seen from the coach “Experiment” which operated on the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825, the UK's first public railway. 2. Some ten years later, following the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1830 the stagecoach resemblance can still be seen in this replica of a 1st class coach from 1834. At that time first and second class were enclosed, with first class having upholstered seats. Third class passengers (who travelled outside on a stage-coach) were only provided with benches in open wagons. Reproduced with the kind permission of the National Railway Museum Page 1 of 5 3. Dating from 1837 the following engraving shows trains on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Firstly a passenger train of first class coaches with a Royal Mail coach and, at the rear, a private coach mounted on a truck, secondly, a train of second class coaches and, thirdly a train of third class coaches. Liverpool and Manchester Railway 1835 4. As the years went by, greater comforts were added. Third class passengers were accommodated inside the coaches, and six-wheeled coaches, giving a smoother ride than the older four-wheeled types, were introduced. 5. Heating was however primitive and, initially, passengers had to hire hot-water bottles and blankets at stations, later it was provided using steam from the engine. To improve safety, trains started to have "continuous" brakes on all coaches, controlled by the driver, rather than just a hand brake controlled by the guard, and a "communication cord" by which passengers could raise an alarm in the event of an accident or incident on the train.

  • How Sussex Will Benefit with BML2
    HowHow SussexSussex willwill benefitbenefit withwith BML2BML2 The rail project known as Brighton Main Line 2 (BML2) has profound and far-reaching benefits and opportunities for Brighton and the whole of Sussex. However, it is frequently misunderstood, which is why this document intends to explain how it all works. BML2 was devised in 2009 and comprises three phases – Sussex, Kent and London. A critical element is the Sussex phase, which this document deals with in more detail. MPs and local councils believe it will bring widespread advantages to the region in terms of vastly-improving rail travel and creating significantly better connectivity. This means renewing principal connections, which are long-standing aspirations among all local authorities, as well as introducing new 21 st century connections to the capital and its key growth areas. The whole scheme is aimed at stimulating business, engendering wealth creation, boosting tourism and, perhaps most important of all, protecting the region’s exceptional environment. SUSSEX “– a part of the country so often ignored, or left behind under previous Governments” – George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer 2015 2 “It is stark staring obvious that the second main line to London is needed. Substantially increasing capacity into our cities remains the industry’s greatest challenge. BML2 – by reconnecting Brighton with London as one seamless journey – has the potential to do this. It is therefore a strong contender for serious investment because it would strengthen the existing overloaded network” – Lord Andrew Adonis, Chairman of National Infrastructure Commission 2015 BML2’s principal focus entails fully restoring to its previous full main line status today’s branch line LONDON BRIDGE which terminates abruptly at Uckfield.
