Travel Plan Coordinator
Modern society has grown around the car and as a result residential and work places are often disparate. This leads to a reliance upon the car and the consequential pollution and congestion issues that arise. In response to this Planning Authorities often request the production of Travel Plans, which are produced at the planning application stage.
Travel Planning is a requirement for the vast majority of planning applications. These show a commitment to reducing car travel. As part of a review process, annual reporting is undertaken comprising surveys, comparison against projection and finally revision of the plan.
