BREEAM compliant Travel Statement & Travel Plan

Cole Easdon (CE) produced a BREEAM (Building Research Establish Environmental Assessment Method) compliant Travel Statement and Travel Plan to support a planning application for the development of an 80-bedroom specialist care home facility (4,068m2 GIA) situated in Warsash, Hampshire.  A 5-dwelling residential development also formed part of the planning application.

 

Fareham Borough Council requires all non-residential developments to achieve a BREEAM rating of at least ‘Excellent’.  A Travel Statement and Travel Plan must be submitted which meets the requirements of Tra01 and Tra02 of the BREEAM UK New Construction 2018, Non-Domestic Buildings Technical Manual.

 

CE produced a Travel Statement on behalf of the developer in order to help them achieve an ‘Excellent’ BREEAM rating.

 

 

Our Experts’ Input:

A site visit was carried out in November 2024 to assist with the production of the Travel Statement to identify whether facilities and routes were accessible for all users (including for all disabilities and by all modes).

 

CE also produced a Travel Plan to set objectives that the development will need to achieve towards encouraging more sustainable travel, together with a number of measures in order to meet the required BREEAM rating.

 

CE worked with the developer to ensure that the measures offered would comply with the relevant BREEAM requirements including:

  • the provision of secure and covered cycle parking in compliance with Fareham Borough Council standards;
  • provision of shower and locker facilities;
  • promotion of mobile phone applications to obtain real time public transport information;
  • the provision of sustainable Travel Information Packs for staff;
  • the provision of car parking spaces reserved for car sharers with a car sharing database investigated to help employees find car share partners; and
  • the provision of electric vehicle charging points for at 10% of the total car parking capacity for the development.
