Book Description
The motor car has provided the modern world with immense advantages and given to many a freedom to travel which has not previously been available. However, the disadvantages of the huge growth in motor vehicle use are becoming more and more appreciated. This guide provides a practical users' manual for implementing the lessons of Planning Policy Guidance Note 13 (PPG 13) - Transport published by HMSO Books in 1994. By working from the basic planning principles through to methodologies for developing and applying land use and transport policies, the guide offers a step-by-step approach to PPG 13.

Book Description
Planning Policy Guidance Note 13: Transport (PPG13) (2001, ISBN 9780117535589) states that, where a new development is likely to have significant transport implications, a Transport Assessment (TA) should be prepared and submitted with a planning application for the development. It will then be used to determine whether the impact of the development on transport is acceptable. TAs are normally produced by developers and are used by decision makers in the planning process. A TA is a comprehensive and systematic process that sets out transport issues relating to a proposed development. It identifies what measures will be taken to deal with the anticipated transport impacts of the scheme and to improve accessibility and safety for all modes of travel, particularly for alternatives to the car such as walking, cycling and public transport. In some cases, the transport issues arising out of development proposals may not require a full TA to inform the process adequately and identify suitable mitigation. In these instances, it has become common practice to produce a simplified report in the form of a Transport Statement (TS). This document, Guidance on Transport Assessment (GTA), is intended to assist stakeholders in determining whether an assessment may be required and, if so, what the level and scope of that assessment should be. It provides guidance on the content and preparation of TAs and TSs. This guidance applies to England only.
Transport Management and Car-parking
Author: Department of Health: Estates and Facilities DivisionPublisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 0113227299
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
The aim of this guidance is to identify best practice in developing travel plans and providing adequate car-parking for NHS trust in England. (Travel plans are measures to manage travel to and from a site, and to reduce reliance on the car as a means of getting to work.) The guidance also assesses the Department for Transport's travel plan evaluation tool against NHS trust travel plans; provides a matrix to estimate a base level of car-parking provision (on the accompanying CD-ROM); identifies links to other assessment tools; suggests how to collect and monitor data; identifies successful partnership working, what encourages and motivates trusts, staff and the public; considers environmentally-friendly transport options. The key elements of best practice are: financial incentives or disincentives; car-parking constraints and management; a range of alternative modes of transport; strong management support; progressive incremental implementation over time; clear objectives; close partnership with local authorities and public transport operators; dedicated staff responsible for travel plans; and, very significantly, designation of a travel plan manager or champion.
The Planning Polity
Author: Mark Tewdwr-JonesPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134447892
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Planning is not a technical and value free activity. Planning is an overt political system that creates both winners and losers. The Planning Polity is a book that considers the politics of development and decision-making, and political conflicts between agencies and institutions within British town and country planning. The focus of assessment is how British planning has been formulated since the early 1990s, and provides an in-depth and revealing assessment of both the Major and Blair governments' terms of office. The book will prove to be an invaluable guide to the British planning system today and the political demands on it. Students and activists within urban and regional studies, planning, political science and government, environmental studies, urban and rural geography, development, surveying and planning, will all find the book to be an essential companion to their work.
