Travel plans

We prepare Travel Plans that are realistic, flexible and tailored to the specific characteristics of each site, development type and user group.

Our Travel Plans prioritise walking, cycling and public transport, setting out practical measures that reflect site accessibility and how developments will operate in practice.

Where necessary, measures are supported by clear and achievable targets and monitoring arrangements, helping to demonstrate how sustainable travel choices will be encouraged over time.

We take a pragmatic approach to Travel Planning, recognising the importance of site context, viability and long-term management. Rather than adopting a standardised template, our Travel Plans respond to local conditions, policy expectations and the needs of future occupiers, ensuring they remain relevant, effective and deliverable.

We also provide Travel Plan Coordinator services to support implementation after planning consent is granted – see our Travel Plan Coordinator Services page for more. This includes overseeing monitoring, reporting outcomes to local authorities and reviewing measures over time to ensure Travel Plans remain effective and compliant throughout their lifespan.

FEATURED PROJECT

St David’s College, Cardiff

Our client needed to demolish an existing teaching block and construct a new two-storey teaching facility in its place at a sixth form college in Cardiff.

Apex prepared a Transport Statement to support the demolition and construction. This included a Travel Plan, detailed analysis of the parking provision and a parking survey, to consider the potential impacts of the extension, particularly at school drop off and pick up times.

Projects

Apex provided transport planning and highways advice to support an outline planning application for the Cardiff Peninsula development, a major mixed-use waterfront regeneration scheme.

The proposals comprise approximately 1,000 residential apartments, 300 co-living units, 11 townhouses, a 220-bed hotel, around 30,000 sqm of employment space, alongside retail, food and drink, community and leisure uses. The proposed masterplan will create a new and vibrant waterfront development for the community to live, work, relax and visit.

Apex prepared a Transport Assessment and Framework Travel Plan to support the application, with a particular focus on sustainable connectivity, active travel and reducing reliance on the private car.
