1. FOREWORD

1.1. Smarter Travel Ltd (STLtd) has been appointed by the Developer –

Persimmon Homes - to manage, monitor and promote the Residential

Travel Plan (TP) for the development of land adjacent to Skelton’s Drove in

Beck Row, Suffolk (known as Sycamore Park) for 166 new residential

dwellings.

1.2. A Travel Plan is defined as a long term management strategy and package

of measures intended to encourage sustainable travel choices for a

healthier lifestyle and reduce the reliance on the private car; this

effectively requires identification and implementation of a set of

interrelated measures and initiatives which will reduce the environmental

impact of the travel associated with a development, particularly through

the use of public transport, walking and cycling, which reflects current

Government policy in respect of transport.

1.3. The TP will have a Travel Plan Coordinator, appointed by the Developer, to

promote, manage and monitor the success of the TP and report to Suffolk

County Council (SCC) for the duration of the monitoring period from the

first multi-modal travel survey undertaken at 50% dwelling occupation

(83rd dwelling) of the development. The monitoring period is likely to be

completed in 2023 with the principle target to have a shift towards

sustainable travel of up to 10% from the initial impact assessment of single

occupancy car travel of the local area determined from Census data and

Transport Assessment (TA) that supported the original planning

application.

Definitions

1.4. The following definitions are used throughout this document:

i. “Travel Plan” means a comprehensive “living” document that

includes the sustainable travel objectives, targets and

commitments, which is updated, amended and supplemented

from time to time under the provisions of the conditions of the

planning approval and “Travel Plan Reviews” which are obliged

to be undertaken by the Travel Plan Coordinator on behalf of

the Developer.

ii. “Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC)” shall mean a permanent

representative appointed by the Developer with the appropriate

skills, budgetary provision and resources to produce and update

a “Travel Plan” and manage the continued implementation of

the “Travel Plan” including the provision of information to the

Local Authority.

iii. “Multi-modal Survey” means a standardised travel survey

undertaken via a two-week loop counter survey with manual

observations at each access point to identify the modes of travel

used by the residents and to determine vehicular generation of

the development supplemented by postal/online surveys, if

required.



iv. “Travel Plan Review” means an update of the Travel Plan on 1st,

3rd and 5th anniversaries of the start of the monitoring period

including the results and analysis of the “multi-modal survey”

indicating how the “Travel Plan” is performing and updating the

document as necessary to reflect changes in local area

accordingly.

v. “Monitoring Period” means the time period that the Developer is

committed to fund and manage the “Travel Plan” and “Travel

Plan Coordinator” to review travel behaviour to/from the site

with an aim to reduce private car usage in favour of sustainable

modes. This time period is set out as 5 years after 50%

dwelling occupation (or one year after the final dwelling is

occupied, whichever is the longest duration) and agreement

with the Local Authority of the “Travel Plan”.

vi. “Local Authority” shall mean the relevant district council or

county council required to approve the Travel Plan.



2. INTRODUCTION

2.1. This document provides the basis, from which to refine, expand and

develop the TP and promote the objectives within it; an updated TP will

next be submitted to SCC for approval once a multi-modal travel survey of

residents has been undertaken. The travel survey will be used to help

update objectives and measures set out within this TP and commence the

monitoring period.

2.2. The development scheme is for 166 residential dwellings, with currently 9

dwellings occupied, to which the layout of Sycamore Park is included in

Appendix A. The provision of this interim TP is to oblige Condition 21

and the Section 106 obligations (Second schedule – Section 7) of planning

approval Ref: DC/14/1206/FUL with Forest Heath District Council (FHDC).

A full TP will be submitted to the Local Authority prior to 50% occupation.

This TP has developed with reference to the TP that supported the planning

application prepared by G H Bullard & Associates (March 2015).

2.3. Sycamore Park is located north of RAF Mildenhall in Beck Row, which lies to

the northwest of the town of Mildenhall. The site is close to local amenities

and public transport services with good pedestrian and cycle infrastructure

to support the promotion of sustainable travel. It is understood the airbase

will be closing and made available for up to 4000 new homes, which may

affect travel habits of existing residents in Beck Row but the resultant

development will bring benefits to the local community that the new

residents of Sycamore Park can make use of. Any local improvement work

undertaken by the redevelopment of the airbase will be set out in future

iterations of this TP.

2.4. The development is wholly residential and therefore the TP is an important

tool in helping to deliver sustainable communities. The TP will bring a

number of benefits to the residents, including:

i) Reducing the need to travel by private car and aim to cut congestion

from the housing development.

ii) Increasing awareness of sustainable travel alternatives to the private

car.

iii) Promotion of social inclusion and interaction by identifying that a

wide range of transport options are easily available for new residents,

including those with disabilities, and that existing amenities are

accessible.

iv) Helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by accommodating

those journeys that need to be made by car through information on

greener car travel usage. This will aid in addressing the increased

emphasis of tackling climate change and reducing impact on the local

environment.

v) Residents can enjoy improved health, less stress and better quality of

life through the increased use of walking, cycling and public transport

use. Financial savings over the ownership and running costs of a

private car can also be achieved through providing a greater travel

choice.



vi) Bringing new choices of modes of transport to the wider community

with the promotion of a car sharing scheme.

2.5. This TP has been prepared with reference to SCC Travel Plan guidance and

Department for Transport (DfT) guidance documents “Using the Planning

Process to Secure Travel Plans (April 2009)”; “Making Residential Travel

Plans Work: Guidelines for New Development” and “Good Practice

Guidelines: Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning Process” (April

2009).



3. POLICY CONSIDERATION

National Policy

3.1. The Department for Transport document “Smarter Choices – Changing the

Way We Travel (2004)” demonstrates the efficacy of measures such as the

use of car clubs, car sharing schemes, personalised travel planning, travel

awareness publicity, etc… The document sets out that the reduction

nationwide could be around 11% in traffic with appropriate travel plan

measures implemented.

3.2. The Government’s white paper document “The Future of Transport: a

network for 2030 (2004)” sets out the vision for a smarter choice of travel

in England. The document has identified that marketing to promote

sustainable transport can deliver “reductions in car use of between 7% and

15% in urban areas and 2% to 6% in rural and smaller urban areas”.

National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)

3.3. The NPPF and the Department for Transport (DfT) guidance, referred to in

Section 2, identifies that the provision of a Travel Plan will help to deliver

more sustainable transport objectives, including:

Reductions in car usage (particularly single occupancy journeys) and

increased use of public transport, walking and cycling;

Reduced traffic speeds and improved road safety and personal

security, particularly for pedestrians and cyclists; and

More environmentally friendly delivery and freight movements,

including home delivery services.

Regional

3.4. SCC policy with respect to transport is embodied in the Local Transport

Plan. The third Local Transport Plan (LTP3) sets out SCC’s ambitions and

objectives for transport.

3.5. LTP3 identifies how transport will play its part in supporting and facilitating

future sustainable economic growth in Suffolk by:

maintaining (and in the future improving) our transport networks;

tackling congestion;

improving access to jobs and markets; and

encouraging a shift to more sustainable travel patterns.

3.6. The provision of a TP to support new residents to the area in their choice of

travel modes for regular journeys in the local area is a key element in

facilitating sustainable development in Suffolk.



4. EXECUTIVE POLICY STATEMENT

4.1. Persimmon Homes Limited has agreed to the TP arrangements that

demonstrate the importance of the environmental and health benefits of

increasing the use of more sustainable modes of travel as an alternative to

the private car. The Developer is committed to developing and funding this

programme, with the support of a TPC, and delivery of measures set out

herein to achieve the monitoring targets whilst supporting change in travel

habits of residents of Sycamore Park.

4.2. The Developer will be responsible for the ownership of the residential TP for

this development for a period of not shorter than from first occupation until

5 years from the date of the approval by FHDC and SCC of the updated full

version of this TP (to be completed at 50% occupation), or one year after

final occupation of the final dwelling, whichever is the longest duration. It

is therefore expected that the monitoring period is to end no earlier than

2023.

4.3. The appointed TPC can delegate responsibilities to others to assist in the

operation and monitoring of the TP. The contact details are set out below.

Should the contact details of the TPC change at any time during the

monitoring period the following details will be amended accordingly and

advised to FHDC and SCC.

5. LOCAL ACCESSIBILITY AUDIT

Site Location

5.1. The development is located on the northern side of Beck Row and RAF

Mildenhall and northwest of the town of Mildenhall. The site is bounded to

the west and east by existing dwellings and to the north by agricultural

land.

Figure 1 – Site Location

5.2. The vehicular access to the site is directly off an existing cul-de-sac located

on the northern side of The Street (A1101) and another existing access

located off Holmsey Green. The Street is subject to a 30mph speed limit in

the vicinity of the site and serves mainly residential areas in Beck Row but

also RAF Mildenhall located on the south side of The Street.

5.3. The A1101 connects with Mildenhall (4.5km distance) to the southeast.

Via Mildenhall Rd and the B1112, this leads to Lakenheath (9.0km

distance) to the northeast, with further connections to Bury St Edmunds

(21.0km distance southeast) and Newmarket (17.5km distance south) via

the A1101 and A11 respectively.

Pedestrian and Cycle Network

5.4. The site is already very well connected for pedestrians and cyclists with

direct access to recently constructed residential estate roads that lead on

to the A1101 / Holmsey Green.

5.5. For those residents that work on RAF Mildenhall, there are footways

available from the site to the airbase, which is only a short walk away.

Sycamore Park



5.6. The site is located close to several local amenities as detailed in the

following paragraphs. Generally, the footways are accessible enough to

cater for pedestrian movement especially along the A1101, The Street and

Holmsey Green with provision of existing footways. There are safe walking

routes for the nearest primary school and cycling routes to the nearest

secondary education school in Mildenhall.

5.7. Although there are currently no national or regional cycle routes in Beck

Row, there is an off-road shared use cycleway connecting Beck Row with

Mildenhall. This facility is located along the northern side of the A1101

from St John’s Road (in Beck Row) to Hampstead Avenue (in Mildenhall)

where the A1101 is subject to a national speed limit.

Public Transport

5.8. The closest current bus stops to the development are located on the

A1101, The Street, near the development’s access from the ‘A’ road. The

development is wholly located within 500m walking distance of the bus

stops.

5.9. The bus stop on the A1101 for travelling to Mildenhall is sheltered whereas

the stop opposite is a standard flag stop. Both have bus timetables

available for bus users. Further stops with more regular services are

located on Holmsey Green albeit are not provided with waiting facilities.

5.10. Table 5.1 below presents the regular most up to date services which run

along the A1101 and on Holmsey Green. These local bus routes and

timetables operating Monday to Saturday are included in Appendix B.

5.11. Up to date timetable information for each bus stop can also be obtained via

the websites of each operator or via Traveline East Anglia Community



Transport for the area. Links to updated timetables will be promoted to

residents.

5.12. A review of 2011 Census data for Beck Row area shows that currently the

use of bus services is very low for commuter purposes. This discussed

further later in this TP.

5.13. Travel times to Mildenhall, Thetford and Bury St Edmunds are 9, 44 and 54

minutes respectively. A Section 106 contribution has been paid to the

Local Authority to enable a Real Time Passenger Information Board to be

erected at the nearest bus stop. Once erected this will be informed to

residents.

5.14. Community transport options are also available to residents that may have

need for these services. Dial-a-ride operates in the area and further

information can be found via their website. Community services will be

promoted to the residents via Welcome Packs and the Travel Plan website.

Train Services

5.15. Newmarket Train Station is located at approximately 21km distance from

the site. Although the station is located outside of most people’s range of

cycling distance it is still expected that some of the residents of the future

development could still commute to work by car and could car share.

5.16. The train station is on the Ipswich – Cambridge line and is operated by

Greater Anglia with connections to Norwich, London terminals, Birmingham

and more. There is currently from Monday to Friday, 17No. services

towards Ipswich between 0702 – 2306 and 17No. services towards

Cambridge between 0609 – 2217. The train service is typically hourly

Monday – Saturday and takes 25 minutes to travel to Cambridge and 50

minutes to travel to Ipswich. On Sundays, the service is one every 120

minutes.

5.17. The current season and day ticket cost of train services to Cambridge and

London should be promoted to the future residents as well as the available

Railcards that can be obtained that can reduce train travel costs by up

33%. The Plus Bus ticket option will also be promoted as a way to get

cheap bus travel at train destinations such as Cambridge which is likely to

be taken up for leisure related journeys.

5.18. The train station offers step free access throughout and some limited

facilities for commuters. There are also 12 bicycle spaces for secure

storage as well as 12 (plus 1 accessible) spaces available for cars.

5.19. There is also a train station at Shippea Hill located approximately 8.6km

distance northwest of Beck Row. This station is on the Cambridge to

Norwich line.

5.20. A review of 2011 Census data for the Beck Row area shows that currently

the use of the train is also very low for commuter purposes. This discussed

further later in this TP.



Local Amenities

5.21. The Institution of Highways and Transportation in its publication

“Guidelines for Providing for Journeys on Foot (2000)” suggests that an

average walking speed of 1.4 m/s can be assumed. The Department for

Transport’s document LTN 1/86 “Cyclists at Road Crossings and Junctions”

recommends that an average cycling speed of 4m/s can be assumed.

5.22. Although now superseded by the National Planning Policy Framework, the

Government’s document “Planning Policy Guidance 13: Transport” stated

that “walking is the most important mode of travel at the local level and

offers the greatest potential to replace short car trips, particularly under 2

kilometres.” The same document also stated that “cycling also has

potential to substitute for short car trips, particularly those under 5km and

to form part of a longer journey by public transport.”

5.23. Focusing upon the site, Table 5.2 presents a range of local amenities in

the surrounding areas, with the appropriate distance and travel time from

the site.

5.24. In conclusion, the development is well located to a number of amenities

which are accessible on foot or by bicycle. Further to this the site is

located approximately 4km from Mildenhall Town Centre where further

amenities are located. Figure 2 shows the location of most of the

amenities noted above. The two largest employment areas for Beck Row

residents (other than RAF Mildenhall) are in Lakenheath and Mildenhall.



5.25. The good range of amenities provision in the area should influence the

residents to use more sustainable modes of transport to travel locally,

reducing the impact of the development.

Barriers to Sustainable Travel and Accessibility

5.26. The potential issues and barriers to the promotion of sustainable travel in

association with the site and its locality have been identified as follows:

Lack of knowledge of potential Car Sharing opportunities;

Train services located in excess of 5km at Newmarket and Shippea Hill

for onward connections to large employment locations such as

Cambridge;

Bus services to employment areas such as Lakenheath, Mildenhall and

Bury St Edmunds;

Perceived accessibility on bicycle to Mildenhall; and

Perceived quality of facilities (shelters / seating etc) at bus stops.

5.27. The measures and initiatives proposed within this TP will seek to address

the identified issues and barriers to sustainable travel and will be fully

supported by the Developer for the monitoring period.

Annual Inspection (off-site)

5.28. During the monitoring period, at least an annual inspection shall be made

prior to each survey by the TPC to review the condition of local footways,

cycleways and bus shelters off-site to identify any maintenance issues that

could be detrimental to the promotion of sustainable travel. Any

maintenance issues seen can then be reported to the relevant department

at the Local Authority for remediation and be reported in monitoring

reports or TP reviews.

5.29. Currently there are no significant maintenance issues offsite in the locality

that would detrimentally affect promoting sustainable travel to new

residents.



6. SYCAMORE PARK DEVELOPMENT

6.1. The Office for National Statistics website has been used to estimate the

number of people that could potentially live in the development. The “Key

Figures for 2011 census” for the ward “Eriswell and The Rows” has given

the breakdown of number of people living per dwelling: 7430 people living

in 2795 households; using this data it has been forecasted that a

development of 166 residential units has the potential to accommodate

approximately 441 people.

6.2. The latest illustrative layout produced by the Developer’s architect, is

included in Appendix A of this TP. The site layout provides for ample

public open space for community purposes.

Access

6.3. The main vehicular access to the development will be from the existing cul-

de-sac recently constructed from The Street and Holmsey Green as well as

an access from Sycamore Drive, located to the south, east and west of the

site respectively. These accesses will be for all modes of travel. There is

also pedestrian only access from Skelton’s Drove for people to travel

between the two land parcels.

Annual Inspection (on-site)

6.4. During the monitoring period, an annual inspection shall be made prior to

each survey by the TPC to review the condition of on-site local footways

and cycleways to identify any maintenance issues that could be detrimental

to the promotion of sustainable travel. Any maintenance issues seen can

then be reported to the relevant department at the Developer and / or

Local Authority for remediation and be reported in monitoring reports or TP

reviews.



7. TRAVEL ASSESSMENT & TRAVEL PLAN OBJECTIVES

7.1. As the development is yet to be fully occupied, the TA that supported the

planning application has provided residential trip generations utilising

surveys of similar residential developments and averaging the hourly

vehicular movements as well as expected modal split. The potential modal

split as set out in the TA of the development is summarised in Table 7.1.

Table 7.1 – Potential Modal Split for 166 residential units

Mode of Transport Percentage

Public Transport 1.1%

Taxi or minicab 0.2%

Driving a car or van 81.8%

Passenger in a car or van 4.9%

Motorcycle, scooter or

moped 1.1%

Bicycle 1.6%

On foot 9.3%

Total 100%

7.2. The development, as assessed in the TA, would have the potential to

generate, without a TP, approximately 117 two-way vehicle movements

during AM peak hour, 132 two-way vehicle movements during PM peak

hour. Over a 12-hour period the development could generate 1040 two-

way movements.

7.3. Further to this, the 2011 Census Statistics have been further explored to

understand the current travel modes and typical work destination for

existing local residents, these have been used to provide an estimate of

typical travel modes that would be utilised from the development.

7.4. The April 2011 Census Statistics – WU03EW – Location of Usual Residence

and Place of Work by method of travel to Work for Forest Heath 003

(Middle Super Output Area), which includes the site, is summarised in

Table 7.2.



Table 7.2 – Method of Travel to work -

2011 Census

Mode of Transport Number of

commuters Percentage

Main/Secondary

Destination Preference

Work at or mainly from home 0 0.0% N/A

Train 12 0.4% London

Bus 24 0.8% Mildenhall

Taxi or minicab 5 0.2% Beck Row / Mildenhall

Driving a car or van 2666 84.9% Beck Row / Lakenheath /

Mildenhall

Passenger in a car or van 173 5.5% Beck Row / Mildenhall

Motorcycle, scooter or moped 38 1.2% Beck Row

Bicycle 69 2.2% Beck Row / Mildenhall

On foot 153 4.9 % Beck Row

Total commuting 3854 100.0%

7.5. The tables demonstrate that from Beck Row and areas surrounding

Mildenhall 7.1% of the commuting is undertaken by cycling and walking,

and a further 1.2% of the commuting is undertaken by using public

transport.

7.6. It is also apparent the majority of the residents within Beck Row and areas

surrounding Mildenhall approximately 21% of all single occupancy car

movements shown above commute by private car (on their own) to a work

place within the same area which are within easy walking and cycling

distances. The promotion of car sharing, cycling and walking is therefore

considered to be the key modes of travel to promote for this development

location. Unfortunately, the Census data does not break down further

where within Forest Heath 003 Census area those single occupancy car

users are travelling to. This would need to be determined from any

residential surveys undertaken to ascertain what are the principle reasons

for using a car to a specific destination in the Beck Row area.

7.7. When RAF Mildenhall closes, this is likely to affect Table 7.2 as a large

employer in the area will be removed and replaced with houses therefore

will affect the travel choices existing residents make, albeit should not

affect travel habits of residents of Sycamore Park as they should be aware

of the future changes.

Objectives

7.8. There are a number of objectives that the implementation of a TP is

intended to help fulfil. The main objectives of the residential development

are to:



Reduce the use of single occupancy vehicles through raising awareness

of alternative travel modes available – especially for those working in

the Beck Row/Mildenhall area;

Reduce the traffic generated by the development to a lower level of car

trips than would be predicted for the site without the implementation of

the Travel Plan;

Promote healthy lifestyles and sustainable, vibrant local communities;

Accommodate those journeys that need to be made by car; and

Assist in addressing specific problems that prevent children or older

people from gaining access to key amenities.

Targets

7.9. Targets should be Site-specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and

Time-related (SMART). They may be phased year on year and can be by

'aim' type (e.g. percentage using non-car modes by….) or 'action' type

(e.g. appoint a TPC by….).

7.10. The “aim type” Travel Plan targets are quantifiable and are given over two

timescales: short-term (within 1 year) and long-term (within 3 years). The

suggested key targets are based on the principle objectives of the TP and

are as follows:

Reduce the number of peak hour car trips determined from the TA by

5% within 1 year of the implementation of the full TP.

Reduce the number of peak hour car trips determined from the TA by

10% within 3 years of the implementation of the full TP.

Reduce the number of 12-hour car trips determined from the TA by

10% within 3 years of the implementation of the full TP.

Retain the level of car trips at the third year of the TP monitoring period

at the final year of monitoring.

7.11. The review of targets should be agreed between the developer, the TPC

and SCC upon completion of the first travel survey undertaken at 50%

occupation of the residential units.

7.12. Additional “aim-type” targets that are not directly related to travel mode

are as follows:

30% return rate for postal / online surveys issued to residents.

80% of postal / online survey respondents should be aware of the TP

and TPC and the services that can be provided.

50% of the respondents to the postal / online survey will have

obtained a Personal Travel Plan provided by the TPC.



15% of the dwellings of the development should have used their

bicycle voucher.

5% of dwellings to have signed up to the Suffolk Car Sharing database.

7.13. The “action-type” TP targets are non-quantifiable targets and take the form

of actions that need to be achieved by a specified date. These targets are

based on implementing the measures specified in Section 8 and therefore

aid in meeting the “aim-type” targets and the principle objectives of the

TP.

Remedial Measures and Triggers

7.14. After each travel survey the TPC will assess if the targets are being

achieved for each of the modes of transport. Should the targets not be

considered to be to the SMART principles then a review of achievable,

realistic targets will be undertaken and submitted to the Local Authorities

with supporting evidence to be agreed.

7.15. If the agreed targets are not being met after the 1st and 3rd year travel

surveys the TPC will analyse the situation, contact residents by issuing a

travel questionnaire and request feedback on what prevents people from

using more sustainable modes of transport and in the case of this site what

would help them to avoid single occupancy vehicle trip. Another round of

additional bicycle vouchers could be considered for example.

7.16. Any further remedial measures on not satisfying TP targets will be agreed

upon completion of the first multi-modal survey and submission of the full

TP to the Local Authority for approval.



8. RESIDENTIAL TRAVEL PLAN MEASURES

8.1. The timescale for the implementation of measures are presented in a table

included within Appendix C. The table details when measures will be put

in place during the agreed monitoring period and an indication of the

potential cost of the measure.

8.2. A TPC has been appointed prior to occupation of the site to manage, review

and monitor the Travel Plan. The responsibilities and appointment of the

TPC are detailed in Section 9.

On-site Accessibility

8.3. It is essential to ensure that pedestrian and cycle routes are safe and

accessible. The site layout is designed to respect the permeability for

pedestrians and cyclists. The provision of public open space within the site

and direct access to The Street (A1101) give a good permeability through

the site for pedestrians and cyclists. Also, the routes within the site will be

well defined.

8.4. The Developer will ensure that the development will have provision for

good internet connectivity and availability. This will aid in encouraging

home deliveries and promote working from home.

8.5. Through direct communication channels from residents to the TPC, as well

as personal site visits, any maintenance issues identified with constructed

pedestrian/cyclist routes on site will be identified to the Developer or SCC

(as applicable) to be rectified.

Public Transport

8.6. An up to date schedule of bus and rail services, within the surrounding area

of the site, including route information and service frequencies will be

permanently available to the residents of the site (see Marketing and

Promotion). The use of smartphone apps and mobile technology will be

promoted so residents can access up to date bus timetables. A Section

106 contribution has been paid to the Local Authority to enable a Real Time

Passenger Information Board to be erected at the nearest bus stop. Once

erected it will be informed to residents.

8.7. The TPC will liaise with bus operators and SCC to ensure that issues raised

regularly by residents are considered by the operators, so that the

potential use of public transport is maximised.

8.8. Residents will also be made aware of the seasonal discounts of fares that

are currently available for buses and train services through promotional

links to relevant websites, through the Sycamore Park webpage and social

media page.

8.9. Should a resident not wish to redeem the bicycle voucher then they are

able to obtain the equivalent value towards a seasonal ticket on local bus

services to Mildenhall.



8.10. Should the development of RAF Mildenhall create the potential for future

local bus improvements in Beck Row then consideration should be given to

promoting this new services through marketing material and further bus

vouchers.

Walking

8.11. Pedestrian routes in the vicinity of the site are adequate, linking with local

amenities within Beck Row and further to parts of Mildenhall. However, the

TPC will liaise with the relevant authority to highlight any maintenance

issues.

8.12. The residents will be provided information on pedestrian routes from the

site to relevant local amenities within the Travel Welcome Pack. Branded

merchandise can also be considered to be given out to residents to

promote walking such as travel umbrellas.

Cycling

8.13. The multi-modal survey will provide information about the potential to

increase the number of trips made from the development by bicycle. This

mode of travel is underrepresented in the area for travelling to/from

Mildenhall and within Beck Row and could be improved.

8.14. The TPC will liaise with the relevant authority to ensure that local cycle

routes are properly maintained, should residents provide information on

issues. The residents will be provided with information and advice

concerning appropriate cycle routes from the site to relevant regular

destinations via Personal Travel Planning (see Marketing & Promotion) and

Travel Welcome Packs.

8.15. Residents will be able to redeem £100, per household, from the Developer

when purchasing bike equipment from an online provider. It will be clearly

explained within the Travel Welcome Pack how the £100 can be obtained

via completing the initial travel survey. Details of any bike shops in the

local area will be provided within the Travel Welcome Pack.

8.16. A bicycle surgery will be considered to be implemented in which a local

bicycle company will attend the site for a day and enable safety checks and

pre-bookable bicycle services to again further promote the use of cycling

for local travel to areas. This would be undertaken annually in spring time

and would link with any promotional events.

8.17. Cycling related branded merchandise will also be considered to be given

out to residents via the promotional events such as a high visibility back

pack rain covers, lights, among others.

8.18. Free adult bicycle training will also be considered with an accredited cycle

training operative.



Car Sharing

8.19. Car sharing represents a relatively convenient alternative form of car travel

and potential exists to reduce the total private mileage of the residents.

8.20. The TPC will establish from the multi-modal travel survey, the potential for

car sharing to and from regular destinations and will arrange for individual

residents to be made aware of that potential.

8.21. The Travel Plan Coordinator will promote the Suffolk car share scheme

(www.suffolkcarshare.com), to provide opportunities to car share with

residents from the surrounding areas. Residents will be made aware of the

car share website and encouraged to make use of the information it

contains from the outset.

8.22. Residents will be made aware of the car sharing scheme via the Travel

Welcome Pack, social media and developments TP website.

Marketing and Promotion

8.23. The TPC will provide training to the sales staff of the Developer on the aims

and objectives of the TP as well as the incentives available to residents.

Posters will also be provided so that sales staff can visually show the

sustainable travel options available to them.

8.24. It is considered that in order to best promote a change in sustainable travel

habits of new residents to an area, it is key to provide information within

the first few weeks of moving in. Therefore, each new dwelling will be

provided with a Travel Welcome Pack within the first few weeks of first

occupancy that will direct residents to the development Travel Plan website

and social media for travel related information and contact details of the

TPC. A survey of current intended travel habits will also be included within

the Welcome Packs to ascertain very early indications of travel behaviour

change.

8.25. A travel website will be created specifically for the development’s residents

via www.smartertravelchoices.co.uk (or similar) that will provide links

to this TP and summary reports as well as a useful way to contact the TPC

for general travel related queries or for Personal Travel Planning. It also

provides information set out below and further links to other useful travel

related websites:

Information on what a TP is and the benefits of the scheme;

Local area map indicating local amenities;

Links to the social media pages and news articles;

Information on car sharing, eco-driving, travel information and

community transport availability.

Personal Travel Plan requests.

http://www.suffolkcarshare.com/

http://www.smartertravelchoices.co.uk/



Public transport information including details of the bus text service

(explaining what buses and train services, can be taken to access

facilities);

Cycle and pedestrian route maps;

Details of how to obtain a £100 bicycle voucher and other measures;

Marketing for Suffolk car sharing website and rail discount card; and

Contact details of the TPC for the resident to be able to discuss any

travel related problem or to receive further information for their

personalised trips.

8.26. The TPC will, though the use of social media and other marketing materials

for the development, promote the use of sustainable travel and any

nationally promoted travel days such as national bike week, etc.

8.27. It is recommended that the TPC undertake promotional events at the

following times to increase awareness of the Travel Plan. Suggested

minimum events are as follows:

Christmas marketing to highlight website, social media and Personal

Travel Plans and merchandise;

At around 100th occupation, an on-site promotional event to be held

including provision of a bicycle surgery on-site. A second one could be

held at around 100% occupation.

1st year summer postal / online survey with an incentive for

respondents including provision of a bicycle surgery on-site.

3rd year summer postal / online survey with an incentive for

respondents.

General small social media promotional events to engage with

residents and provide information directly on sustainable travel.

Personal Travel Planning

8.28. The TPC will provide Personalised Travel Planning to residents who request

it. They will be made aware of this scheme by information provided on the

website, promotional events and via marketing media issued to them.

They can also contact directly the TPC through details given in Section 4

of this TP.

8.29. The above list of measures is not exhaustive and should provide a basis of

measures that can be implemented easily. The TPC will identify other

measures throughout the life of the plan to aid in achieving the set targets

and reducing single occupancy car travel.



9. MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT

9.1. A programme of monitoring and review has been designed to generate

information by which the success of the scheme can be evaluated.

Monitoring and review will be the responsibility of the TPC.

The Travel Plan Coordinator

9.2. The TPC has been identified and appointed – with the contact details set

out in Section 4. The TP will be managed for a minimum duration of 5

years (or one year after occupation of the final dwelling, whichever is the

longest duration) as part of the monitoring period commencing at 50%

occupation. The TPC will be funded by the Developer from appointment

prior to first occupation up to the completion of the monitoring period.

9.3. The TPC will take responsibility for the development and management of

the TP and ensure its delivery to its completion of the monitoring period. It

is important that the TPC makes regular visits to the site and presents the

ideals of the TP to the residents and oversees the monitoring and reporting

of the TP to the Local Authority.

9.4. The TPC shall liaise and work with other TPC’s in the local area to

potentially create joint promotional material / measures for promoting

sustainable travel by new residents.

9.5. The TPC will be able to provide Personal Travel Planning (PTP) to residents

of this development. This service will be provided on demand and be

available within 5 working days of residents’ request. A follow up survey of

the PTP will be provided to the resident accordingly to ascertain if it has

assisted in changing their travel habits.

9.6. The TPC will ensure that structures for the on-going management of the

plan are set up and running effectively, and will help to promote individual

measures such as bicycle voucher, car sharing, etc. This can be

undertaken through social media / marketing material, PTP and / or via the

development TP website.

9.7. The TPC will liaise with the public transport operators, highway authority

and / or the Developer in order to report any inadequacies in maintenance

maximise the potential use of sustainable travel options.

9.8. The TPC will be responsible for setting up and security of the residential

travel database which will include the results of the multi-modal traffic

surveys. In the interest of confidentiality, the TPC alone will hold the

database and be responsible for the release of the results to the Local

Authority and to the residents (data should be conveyed in an accessible

but secure format).

9.9. The TP will be reviewed at every completion of the multi modal travel

survey, as part of an on-going 5-year monitoring process. The TPC will

submit details of each review to SCC within 2 months of the completion of

the surveys.



Monitoring

9.10. To ascertain whether the residents will already change their mode of travel

as a result of moving to this development from another location, a short

survey will be provided within the Travel Welcome Pack that the resident

will need to complete to obtain the £100 bicycle voucher (or bus voucher

equivalent).

9.11. In order to identify the travel patterns for the residential development, a

multi-modal travel survey will be undertaken once 50% of the residential

site is occupied. This is to analyse how the residents and visitors actually

travel from and to the site when compared to that of the 2011 Census data

and that used in the TA for the original application.

9.12. This mode split of travel will then be able to be used to compare the

effectiveness of the TP over the monitoring period. The data should also be

used to identify what further measures, if any, are required to further

promote the TP and its objectives.

9.13. The results of the survey will be issued to SCC as part of the TP review

identifying the progress against the original objectives and targets. If the

set targets have not been reached the TPC will seek to address and

improve use of any mode, which seems to be under represented and where

greater utilisation could reasonably be achieved and report to SCC.

9.14. In addition to the multi-modal traffic surveys noted above, the take-up of

additional TP measures will be monitored to demonstrate the impact of the

TP on the residential estate, and to understand which measures are

successful. The measures to be monitored are:

The take up of Personal Travel Planning and response to follow up

surveys;

The level of redemption of the bicycle voucher;

The take up of free adult bicycle training; and

The number of residents joining the car share scheme.

Multi-Modal Travel Survey

9.15. In order to identify the travel patterns of the residents of the development,

a multi-modal travel survey will be undertaken at 50% occupation of the

site (83rd dwelling). This is likely to be late 2018, with multi-modal

surveys repeated at the first, third and fifth anniversary (2019, 2021,

2023) of the original survey.

9.16. The multi-modal survey will be undertaken at a cost to the Developer and

be at a similar time of the year to provide a comparative assessment. It

will be ensured prior to the survey being undertaken that the following

circumstances will not affect the outcomes of the surveys:

School / public holidays;



Highway maintenance;

Closures on public transport services; and / or

Any publicised strike action.

9.17. The methodology of undertaking the multi-modal survey is likely to involve

a 14-day loop counter survey at the vehicular entrances to the site,

supplemented by manual surveys (on a single midweek day) and/or

postal/online surveys, if required. The determined mode split of travel will

then be able to be used to compare the effectiveness of the TP over the

monitoring period.

9.18. The surveys undertaken during the anniversaries noted previously can be

supplemented with a postal / online survey directly to residents that will

enable a more direct questioning of their travel habits and identify

measures that can assist in changing their travel habits to more

sustainable means. A copy of example questions for a postal / online

survey is contained within Appendix D. To maximise the potential for

return of postal / online surveys, an incentive could be provided for

respondents such as a voucher to a local restaurant or equivalent. The

result of each postal / online survey will be issued to the residents in the

form of a summary report (via the development TP website) and to the

Local Authority via the TP reviews.

9.19. All online/postal/interview surveys are to be confidential and no names or

addresses shall be passed on to any third party (such as a public transport

operator) unless prior approval has been given by the interviewee. The

only personal information deemed necessary for the purposes of the TP are

as follows:

Name and address;

Age;

Telephone number / email address;

Whether they are registered disabled; and

Number and age of any dependants.

9.20. All survey information shall be kept secure by the TPC. Hard copies of any

surveys that have any personal information on shall be kept on file in a

lockable cabinet for a period of no more than 2 years and shall be securely

destroyed thereafter. Electronic copies of surveys that hold any personal

information shall be saved securely on the local server and the file shall be

password protected. Electronic copies shall not be kept longer than a

period of 2 years and shall be securely deleted thereafter.

Options for future managing the Residential Travel Plan

9.21. There is a choice of different structures available for the on-going

management of the TP beyond the 5-year monitoring period, should

demand warrant it.



9.22. The different options for management exist, are as follows:

Management or consultant Companies;

Parish Council; and

Steering groups, created with partnership working between the Local

Authority, Developer and local representatives.

9.23. Whichever option is chosen then it will be notified to the Local Authority

within the final TP review.
