Sustainable Travel Policy
 Encouraging walking and cycling
 Encouraging the use of public transport
 Managing car use and parking to encourage more
sustainable travel choices
 Supporting the TravelWise scheme
 Regularly monitoring transport modes
 Employing a Travel Co-ordinator to oversee
implementation
Pedestrians & Cyclists
 Strong on-site footway/cycleway network with connections
to external routes
 Creation of a mixture of dedicated footways/cycleways
using internal roads
 Bike parking and changing/shower facilities integrated into
new buildings as a matter of course
 Student residences will be built within walking or cycling
distance of campus where possible
 A cycle repair and maintenance centre will be set up
Summary
 The University has a significant impact
 We are endeavouring to manage that impact
 Expansion of facilities for both teaching and research, and
the associated support services such as catering and
student accommodation
 The development areas proposed are all contained within
the land first approved for development in 1964
 New developments would be designed and constructed
according to the highest standards – BREEAM ‘Excellent’
