Transport assessment

The forthcoming planning application will be accompanied by a comprehensive transport assessment that will consider :-

• Shared surface design within the scheme.
• Traffic levels associated with both the historic use and the proposed regeneration scheme.
• Which accesses pedestrians and vehicles will use and the impact arising on the local highway network. Both Greenbank Road and Co-operation Road will be used for vehicular access; service vehicle access will be from Greenbank Road.
• Traffic claming measures to protect and enhance local residential streets.
• Car and cycle parking provision
• A travel plan, which will include measures to discourage car use. The proposals and travel plan are expected to include:
• improvements to local pedestrian, cycle and bus infrastructure;
• a proportion of shared parking between residential and employment uses;
• a proportion of smaller parking bays to discourage large car use;
• discounted annual bus pass on first occupation;
• Car Club membership and provision of two Car Club spaces within the site, with access available to the community;
• discounted cycle purchase;
• cycle houses front the cycle path;
• cafe/cycle shop with cycle facilities such as showers and bike hire;
• secure cycle parking and showers for employment use;
