vehicles; and consider the needs of people with disabilities by all
modes of transport. Paragraph 36 states that all developments which
generate significant amounts of movement should be required to
provide a Travel Plan.
2.9.16 The proposed Framework as set out in the TA is considered to form an
appropriate basis for preparation of a detailed Travel Plan for the site
as it is developed.
2.9.17 The Travel Plan Framework sets the context for the collation of the
Travel Plan, but it does note that the guidance in the Framework is not
“exhaustive” and the Framework is intended to provide guidance for the
future development of a detailed Travel Plan. The final travel Plan is
intended to assist in improving the environment by reducing the
number of trips made to and from the development by private car.
2.9.18 The overall objective of any Travel Plan is to promote walking, cycling
and public transport as the primary mode of travel and to deliver mode
shift from single occupancy car journeys to alternative modes including
multi-occupancy vehicle trips.
2.9.19 NYCC Highways have confirmed that the submitted “Travel Plan
Framework” is acceptable and delivery of a detailed Travel Plan for the
site can be controlled via condition to require further submissions on
this matter prior to the occupation of the development in line with the
Framework.
2.9.20 In response to the potential provision of a bus route through the site the
agents have not offered this on the basis that “the primary reason for
not proposing a diverted bus service is that the entire site is compliant
with the RSS with respect to access to public transport services. All
dwellings lie well within the RSS required 10 minute walk to the
existing/proposed Low Street bus stops and over half of the dwellings
will be within 400m of the Low Street bus stops. From the Low Street
bus stops the town centre, both rail stations and Sherburn Enterprise
Park can be reached in less than 10 minutes. In addition there are bus
stops on Moor Lane that can also be accessed within an approximate
ten minute walk time due to the provision of the new pedestrian/cycle
route connecting to the north.
2.9.21 NYCC Highways have accepted that as service provision is in place,
that improvements are to be made to bus stops that there is no
requirement to pursue pump priming of the services as a result of the
development subject to the access road being able to accommodate a
bus in the future should this become viable for an operator.
2.9.22 NYCC have confirmed that the detailed highways design is acceptable
subject to conditions.
