Green Travel Plans

Evans Jones specialist Green Travel Planners offer more than 10 years experience of working with commercial developers to produce green travel plans which deliver economic, practical and easy to manage measures both now and in the future.

What is a Green Travel Plan?

A Green Travel Plan (also typically known as a Workplace Travel Plan) is a requirement imposed by Local Authorities by way of Planning Condition or legal agreement (typically a s.106 agreement). A Workplace Travel Plan may also be required as part of a BREEAM assessment. The Travel Plan includes a package of measures designed to encourage employees and customers to travel to site by means other than private car.

Following occupation of the site there will usually be a requirement for the occupier to monitor the Green Travel Plan to ensure targets set out in the original travel plan are met and to show ongoing improvement. Evans Jones can provide this monitoring service but our aim is to make this process as easy to manage as possible thus saving operators management time and money.

So what measures might a Green Travel Plan typically include?

Travel Plan measures can range from high cost items such as subsidised staff loans, installation of showers, public transport display systems, cycle parking and subsidised public transport through to low cost measures such as free internet access to local travel guides, car sharing schemes and on site maps of local bus and train stations. Our focus is on the low cost options.

Evans Jones travel planning team aim to deliver Green Travel Plans which minimize the cost to you ‘day one’ but also longer term by making the travel plan as easy as possible to monitor and manage.

How much will a Green Travel Plan cost?

We do not use a set green travel plan template. Each travel plan is prepared on a site specific basis and we will happily provide a fixed price quotation if you can provide a few simple details.

Evans Jones aim is to minimise the cost to you of implementing the Travel Plan measures both now and in the future. Thus when choosing who to prepare your travel plan we would urge you to consider not just the fee for preparing the plan but the likely costs of implementing it which could be far greater than the cost of preparing the travel plan.

Evans Jones specialist team of experienced MRTPI qualified planning consultants will give you the best possible chance of delivering a low cost, practical and manageable travel plan solution by robust negotiation with the Local Authority based on a proven track record and more than 10 years experience.
