Transport Planning
-A thorough analysis of the site’s accessibility by sustainable modes of transport, including:
+ walking and cycling routes;
+ the location of nearby cycleways;
+ the accessibility of the site by walking and cycling;
+ current facilities for cyclists including the location of cycle hire schemes in close proximity to the site;
+ a summary of local bus services including the location of nearby bus stops; and
+ a summary of local rail and London Underground services.
-A public transport accessibility index score, calculated by identifying bus stops within 650m and rail stations within 1km (identified as nodes) and the average number of trips per hour (one-way) at each node between 08:00 and 19:00;
-A summary of local facilities and amenities located within 500m of the site; and
-Identifying features within the site and within the surrounding area for people with disabilities including local rail and underground stations, taking into account all types of disability including mobility, visual and hearing impairment.
Cole Easdon worked with the client to create and run an online Travel Survey, the results of which provided an analysis of the travel patterns and impacts of current employees to and from the Fleet Place site. The results were then included within the Travel Plan. Information obtained from the survey included:
-The working patterns of staff, including their arrival and departure times to determine the peak periods for arrivals and departures at the site;
-Details about where they travelled to and from including:
+ distance;
+ travel time;
+ home destination;
+ the mode that was used the greatest distance to travel to and from Fleet Place; and
-What would encourage an employee to travel to work by bus, bicycle and on foot.
Working with the developer, a number of measures were offered in order to help meet the required BREEAM accreditation.
