Introduction to the Travel Plan 1.4 A Travel Plan (TP) produced at the planning application stage can play a key role in shaping travel choice at proposed developments, managing future travel demand and reducing reliance on the single occupancy use of the private car. 1.5 One of the UK’s top transport priorities is to reduce transport’s emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases with the desired outcome of tackling climate change. To do this our society must improve and encourage the use of sustainable (low carbon) transport and ensure that new development takes place in accessible locations which minimis the need for travel. 1.6 This ethos is embodied in local and national transport policy today. TPs encourage more sustainable journeys. They minimise the impact of additional anticipated traffic arising as a side effect of new developments. 1.7 This TP sets out the specific aims and measures for the proposed development at Eastern Gateway, Hayle. This Document 1.8 This document takes the form of an overarching TP for the development site.
