Car Parking<br />

4.57 A total of 4,500 car parking spaces are provided at Westfield London Shopping<br />

Centre (reducing to 3,500 spaces Monday - Friday). No additional spaces are proposed<br />

as part of the development proposals, which is supported.<br />

Cycle Parking<br />

4.58 The existing cycle parking provision is 448 cycle parking spaces <strong>and</strong> 154 London<br />

Cycle Hire Scheme docking stations at Westfield London Shopping Centre <strong>and</strong><br />

adjoining transport interchanges. No additional spaces are proposed as part of the<br />

development proposals, which the applicant states is reflective of the observed take up<br />

<strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> of existing cycle parking spaces <strong>and</strong> cycle hire docking stations.<br />

4.59 This would be below Development Management Local Plan 2013 <strong>and</strong> London<br />

Plan 2011 st<strong>and</strong>ards. However, to support this provision, the applicant has provided<br />

evidence of an underutilisation of the existing cycle parking facilities. It is considered<br />

that no additional cycle storage is required at this point in time, but that provision can be<br />

increased through the Travel Plan, should dem<strong>and</strong> increase. Both TfL <strong>and</strong> the LBHF<br />

Highways Officers endorse this approach.<br />

Travel Plan<br />

4.60 Westfield London Shopping Centre's Travel Plan should be updated to reflect the<br />

development proposals. It is stated that Net-a-Porter will continue to promote <strong>and</strong><br />

support the principles <strong>and</strong> objectives of the Travel Plan <strong>and</strong> will continue to encourage<br />

sustainable travel to <strong>and</strong> from Westfield London Shopping Centre. Net-a-Porter will<br />

make all new staff aware that no dedicated staff parking is provided at Westfield London<br />

Shopping Centre.<br />

Multi Modal Trips<br />

4.61 The trip attraction of the proposed increase of Net-a-Porter's floorspace has been<br />

derived using the TRAVL database. This approach was agreed with LBHF <strong>and</strong> TfL<br />

officers to calculate the trip attraction of the consented extension to the shopping centre.<br />

4.62 The TRAVL calculated daily modal split data for B1 office l<strong>and</strong> use is summarised<br />

below.<br />

Mode<br />

Mode Split<br />

Car Driver 2.0%<br />

Car Passenger 1.1%<br />

Motorcycle 1.0%<br />

Taxi 0.5%<br />

Rail 29.1%<br />

Bus 9.0%<br />

Underground 19.0%<br />

Walk 37.6%<br />

Bicycle 0.7%<br />

TOTAL 100.0%<br />

4.63 There are no dedicated staff car parking facilities at Westfield London Shopping<br />

Centre, <strong>and</strong> the TRAVL calculated modal split reflects this, with a 2% car driver mode<br />

share.
