Travel Plans
Creating choice for everyone to enjoy safe and sustainable methods of travel.
Travel plans are an integral part of the planning process, evidencing that sustainable and active forms of travel are firmly embedded into a development proposal.
A travel plan aims to reduce the number of people travelling alone by car in favour of sustainable transport initiatives.
Through consultation and evidence, travel plans improve movement around existing sites. And are tailored to local communities. They also help provide wider benefits by addressing air quality, congestion and parking issues.
Travel plans are especially valuable if the purpose is for an organisation to retain or recruit staff by helping people understand the travel options available to them.
For new developments, a travel plan is essential to advising on safe, sustainable and active travel options.
