1.1.1 Peter Brett Associates LLP (PBA) has been commissioned by Taylor Wimpey Developments to prepare a Travel Plan (TP) in support of a proposed residential development on land at Glenmore Farm in Westbury, Wiltshire. The site location plan is shown in Figure 2-1. 1.1.2 This report is a framework TP which sets a series of measures which will seek to reduce the impact of the proposed scheme on the surrounding highway network and maximise the use of non-car modes of transport in line with current Government policy. The developers of the site will have overall responsibility for funding and delivery of the TP and they will appoint a TP Coordinator who will manage the implementation and operation of the plan. Further details of the TP Coordinators’ role are outlined in subsequent sections of this report. 1.1.3 A Transport Assessment (TA) for the site which considers the impact of the development on the local highway network has also been submitted as part of the planning application and should be read in conjunction with this TP. 1.2 Transport implications 1.2.1 This TP is written to outline the measures which will be implemented to maximise the use of sustainable modes of transport and hence, minimise the use of the private car to travel to and from the proposed retail site. 1.2.2 The aim of the TP is to reduce the environmental impact of the proposed development site on the local road network by encouraging residents to travel on foot, by cycle, by public transport or car-share as alternatives to the private car. The TP outlines the proposed measures and means by which these aims can be achieved. 1.3 Proposed Land Uses 1.3.1 The outline planning application comprises approximately 150 dwellings across the development site. For the purposes of the assessment, it will be assumed that all dwellings proposed on site will be open market in nature, although in reality it is likely that a reasonable proportion of affordable dwellings will be provided. 1.3.2 An indicative masterplan for the development is shown in Appendix A. 1.4 Proposed Site Access 1.4.1 Four potential access points will be provided to the site. The main highway access will be on the south eastern boundary of the site onto The Ham, north of the priority junction with the southern arm of Hawkeridge Road. The access will take the form of a simple priority junction and will be linked to an internal road network which will be directly fronted by a number of properties as well as providing access to a number of cul-de-sacs. This junction will be assessed for capacity as part of this assessment work and this will be reported in Section
