Penymynydd is a small village in Flintshire and is merged with the larger neighbouring village of Penyffordd. This report is developed in line with the Wales Planning Policy which states that Transport Assessments (TA) are an important mechanism for setting out the scale of anticipated impacts a proposed development is likely to have. TA’s assist in helping to anticipate the impacts of development so that they can be understood and catered for. This Travel Plan (TP) has been development in conjunction with the TA. The site is located on Chester Road, which is illustrated below: Figure 1.1: Site Location; Chester Road Penymynydd Redrow Homes 1 Residential Travel Plan, Chester Road, Penymynydd 660815-TP (01) 1.1 The need for a travel plan A travel plan is an important tool for delivering sustainable access to a development. It provides a long-term strategy that seeks to deliver sustainable transport objectives through positive action. There are a number of challenges that travel plans can significantly contribute towards meeting. Firstly, local authorities need to allocate residential sites in areas that benefit from good levels of sustainable transport, while reducing congestion in urban areas. Travel plans can help to minimise the potential increase in traffic resulting from such development. Climate change is also becoming an increasingly important aspect of planning policy and the need to reduce carbon emissions, of which transport accounts for a quarter. Travel plans can help reduce use of private transport and assist in meeting stringent targets. In addition, there is a need to promote more healthy lifestyles and travel plans can help through increased walking and cycling. As a result, a travel plan forms a key stage in the forward planning process and is a ‘living document’ that needs to be regularly reviewed to ensure its effectiveness. 1.2 Travel plan benefits Travel plans can result in a variety of benefits to the occupiers of a development and the wider community, as well as address a range of issues, including: • Promote healthy lifestyles and sustainable, vibrant communities; • Provide adequately for those with mobility difficulties; • Improve social inclusion; • Reduce traffic congestion – thereby aiding the local economy; • Reduce demand for car parking, thereby enabling more efficient land use; • Cut carbon emissions and their contribution to climate change; • Reduce road danger and protect vulnerable road users; and • Improve local air quality, while reducing noise pollution. A travel plan should provide benefits to all parties, including the developer, the site occupants and the local authority, which can help in gaining widespread commitment to its implementation and continuing operation. Redrow Homes 2 Residential Travel Plan, Chester Road, Penymynydd 660815-TP (01) 2 CONTEXT 2.1 Development proposals The proposal is to develop 190 residential units on undeveloped land which is adjacent to the current boundary of the Penymynydd/Penyffordd village boundary. The main site access will be located on Chester Road, with pedestrianised access to the west and north of the site. The development has sustainability goals built into its design through the provision of green space in specific locations and connecting these
