5	Conclusions

5.1	Outcomes of Stage 1

5.1.1	Summarise the outcomes of the Travel Plan Introduction (Stage 1)
	The travel plan has been produced as a direct response to a planning condition imposed on the planning aproval requiring a travel plan to be submitted and agreed prior to the operation coming into beneficial use. This relates to an industrial unit that has planning consent to change from a B2 General Industrial Use to a D2 Use.

5.2	Outcomes of Stage 2

5.2.1	Summarise the outcomes of the Travel Plan Site Description (Stage 2)
	The Site is in a sustainable location with good access to local shops, services, excellent public transport links and cycling and walking opportunities. The area is a mixture of employment and residential uses, balanced and very sustainable.

5.3	Outcomes of Stage 3

5.3.1	Summarise the outcomes of the Travel Plan Scope (Stage 3)
	This has set out objectives to facilitate and encourage alternative forms of transport with both the employees and the users of the site to encourage cycling, walking, public transport and car sharing as an alternative to access by car with a single user. The overall aim to to reduce the number of cars that are used to access the facility.

5.4	Outcomes of Stage 4

5.4.1

Summarise the outcomes of the Travel Plan Delivery (Stage 4)

The measures and actions are realistic, short term and achievable. There are initial quick fixes that can be made to facilitate cycling with adequate storage provided and public transport to be encouraged through accessible information that is made readily available at key points within the facility. The plan does seek over the year to develop a more comprehensive approach, with car sharing encouraged through various initiatives and a more 'joined up' solution offered to all users of the site which works with their locations and destinations with a view to potentially embracing alternative forms of transport to a single user within a car.

The outcome is a reduction overall in car use and in an increase in the use of alternative forms of transport.

5.5	Concluding Remarks

5.5.1	Summarise the desired outcomes of the travel plan
	The Travel Plan looks realistically at how alternative modes of transport can be encouraged and facilitated by implementing certain measures and action points. There is a realstic programme of monitoring and evaluation designed within the plan, so that over the 5 years the plan is effective in promoting alternative modes of transport and reducing car use.
