area has been used to indicate a car driver mode share of 10.6%. This approach is
considered acceptable and the weekday and Saturday peak hour traffic generated is set
out below:
Car Driver Traffic Generation (two way trips):
Weekday Peak Saturday Peak
20:00 - 21:00 11:00 - 12:00
Proposed Use 24 23
3.32 A draft travel plan has been submitted with the application which is aimed at
reducing the reliance on car use by staff and visitors. The travel plan is considered
acceptable and as part of the S106 agreement it would be a requirement to review and
monitor this plan.
Car Parking
3.33 Twenty car parking spaces, including two car parking spaces of sufficient size to
be for use by disabled people, are proposed. The London Plan gives no specific
guidance on parking provision for sporting facilities. However, given the above
estimation of the likely vehicle trips, the proposed provision is considered to be an
acceptable level of parking for the proposed facility in this highly accessible area. It
would also ensure that residents on-street parking would not be unduly affected.
3.34 South Africa Road is subject to closures during QPR home matches. The road is
closed up to two hours before match kick off and up to an hour after final whistle, but is
reopened during the match. For information, there are 25 home fixtures in the coming
season. The applicants are aware of this and would notify members of the facility in
advance, advising them to make alternative arrangements to arrive at the site other than
driving. The notification arrangements would be detailed in the travel plan, to be
submitted as part of the S106 agreement.
Cycle Parking
3.35 Racks for the parking of 24 bicycles would be provided within the car park (this
provision would be secured under Condition 9. This complies with the cycle parking
standard in the London Plan 2011, which requires 1 space per 10 staff and 1 per 10
visitors (the highest number of visitors expected at the facility, in the weekday peak, is
230 and 5 full-time equivalent employees are proposed, equating to 24 spaces).
Servicing and refuse
3.36 Servicing for the facility would entail one delivery every two days, by a small van
consisting of stock items such as snacks and refreshments and service consumables
such as cleaning products. This would be able to be accommodated on site.
3.37 Refuse collection is proposed to take place on street due to site constraints. There
is no-waiting at any time on South Africa Road outside the site, but there are no loading
restrictions. It is considered that this would be able to be undertaken safely and without
affecting network performance provided that it takes place to the north-east of the
proposed entrance. The carriageway is wide and includes a hatched central median.
Storage of refuse and recycling would be within the site, in an enclosure adjacent to the
pavilion building which has the capacity to store 3-4 1100L Eurobins. This is considered
to be sufficient storage for this use. Full details of the refuse and recycling storage and
