throughout the day.
Does the travel plan include

b) details of the size of each type of land use?
c) details of how build-out of the development will be phased?
A full assumed floor
levels table is

Surveys
2/3
Does the travel plan propose the following?
a) TRAVL compliant site user travel and freight surveys?
b) an agreed date with the borough for the surveys to take place?
A programme of
monitoring and
review would be
implemented to
generate information
by which the success
of the Travel Plan
can be evaluated. In
the first instance the
surveys outlined
below will be
undertaken within six
months of first
occupation or when
75% of the
residential units
within Phase 1 are
occupied (whichever 1
comes soonest) to
establish the
baseline situation.
These will be used to
set the future mode
split targets for the
site. The results of
the subsequent
periodic monitoring
will be assessed
against these targets.
Monitoring and
review will be the
responsibility of the
Travel Plan
Coordinator (TPC);
no date agreed with
borough.
Is a baseline modal split (actual trip numbers and percentage of all trips)
estimated for the site?
Given from point

2/2
Is a clear site-wide monitoring programme that adheres to the standardised
approach included?
The following
monitoring will be
undertaken for the
first three year
period: undertake an
initial iTRACE
compliant baseline
survey; undertake a
full multi modal travel
survey –
observations at all
site entry and exit
points during the site
peak hours, to be
1
conducted at years 1
and 3; undertake an
employee and
resident
questionnaire survey
annually to
understand travel
patterns and
behaviour; After
three years, outline
how future
monitoring will be
undertaken if all
targets have not
been met.
Is it clear who is responsible for site-wide monitoring?
Following the initial
baseline survey six
months from first
occupation or at 75%
occupancy of the
Phase 1 units, a
1
followup iTRACE

will be undertaken by
an approved
Independent Field
