Paul Basham Associates' supported Inspired Villages with Travel Plan Coordination to help bring the site into use allowing the onsite facilities to be used more widely than just by residents and their guests.
The Proposal
To support the occupation of the site the Travel Plan, produced by Paul Basham Associates, needs to be implemented in addition to a Variation of Condition application to support wider use of the onsite facilities, than just residents and their guests.
The Approach
The Variation of Condition application required a detailed parking assessment, that included parking surveys of comparable sites, to confirm the opening the on-site facilities would not detrimentally impact.
In parallel to this, to support the occupation of the site, we have been working as the Travel Plan Coordinators, producing Travel Information Packs for both staff and residents, to promote the local sustainable travel options in Horndean, as well as promoting the on-site minibus (provided by Inspired Villages) that is available for both staff and residents to book.
As the Travel Plan Coordinator for the site we will also be responsible for completing travel surveys as part of the site’s annual monitoring obligation.
The Outcome
Occupations on site are only just beginning but we look forward to working with Inspired Villages as we provide sustainable travel information and monitor the travel behaviour of the site’s users, over the coming years.
