Travel Plans

New housing developments with 80 or more dwellings need a Travel Plan. Some developments with fewer homes will also need a Travel Plan. For example, if there are concerns around pollution, congestion, and pressures on the existing road network.

We support housing developers and transport consultants to create, implement, and monitor Residential Travel Plans for new developments. We can also supply and distribute Residential Travel Information Packs for new developments. These are often a condition for planning consent.

Refer to our Residential travel plan template (DOC, 91.55 KB) and Residential travel plan guidance notes (DOC, 6.93 MB) to help you get started. There are other resources available on request.

Our dedicated Residential Travel Plan Officer will provide support to help developers and consultants:

• promote their Travel Plan
• attend on-site events (where required)
• conduct quarterly check-ins to discuss and track progress with the Plan
• review Annual Monitoring Reports (including TP measures and mitigation actions required)
