Why do travels plans need to be monitored?
Monitoring is a key element of any travel plan. Without a robust monitoring programme, there is a risk the travel plan will become a static document that doesn’t change to suit the needs of the site. Without a monitoring programme it is also difficult to establish what the positive and negative elements of the travel plan are.
From a legislative perspective, Planning Policy Guidance 13 (Transport), states that a travel plan should be submitted alongside any planning application that is likely to have significant transport implications. The DfT’s Guidance on Transport Assessment has clear requirements that a travel plan should be developed and should inform the transport assessment process.
The TRICS® Consortium has produced a suggested Travel Plan Condition and a Heads of Terms document or Section 106/278 Clause, both of which can be viewed by selecting the options below. Please note that these texts are suggestions only, intended to be for initial guidance. |
