Household Personalised Travel Planning Project PDF 378 KB Presentation by Jennie Maybury, Principal Transport Planner Minutes: Jennie Maybury, Principal Transport Planner, delivered a presentation on the Project which will be delivered in selected areas of the city, including Silverdale, Ruddington Lane, and The Meadows around Trent Bridge. Jennie highlighted the following:
(a)
the Project is funded by the Department for Transport through the
Nottingham Derby Access Fund, and is aimed at households with
higher than average car ownership in areas of poor air
quality; (b)
this is part of a wider package supporting people to make low
carbon travel choices working with communities and
businesses; (c)
the Project will be promoted initially
through posters and social media, followed by postcards delivered
to all households about visits in their area. A trained team of
travel advisors will visit each house to talk about travel needs
and produce a bespoke travel information pack, including incentive
and exclusive special offers; (d) there will be follow-up 6 months later to see whether people have changed their travel behaviour;
It was raised that the NCT number 11
bus is an essential service for the
Meadows area but requires support as it is not being used enough,
so this should be promoted as a travel option. RESOLVED to thank Jennie for the information provided. |

Southern Gateway Developments PDF 7 MB Presentation by Rob Percival, Area Planning Manager Minutes: Rob Percival, Area Planning Manager, delivered a presentation to the Committee on the range of developments planned for the area between the City Centre and the Meadows, known as the Southern Gateway. Rob highlighted the following:
(a)
the area around Broadmarsh and the
station will be transformed with new vehicle routes and
pedestrianisation. Major developments in the area include
redevelopment of the Broadmarsh shopping centre, a new bus station
and multi-storey car park, and a new college building; (b)
Nottingham is in need of more grade A office accommodation, and
development is proposed on Station Street and at Unity
Square; (c)
residential schemes are proposed or under construction at the
former Hicking Pentecost site on Crocus
Street, on Summer Leys Lane, the Creswell site on Crocus Street,
the former petrol station site on London Road and on the river
frontage off Meadow Lane; (d)
the area is designated for mixed use, so could include residential,
office, leisure or hotel usage; (e) there is an aim for all development to be of a high quality and for local existing residents, such as those in the Meadows, to be fully engaged.
The following points were raised during the discussion which followed:
(f)
there is no final detail on the location of bus stops after the
Broadmarsh area is pedestrianised, but the Highways Team is
developing the roadspace; (g)
connections between this area and the Meadows will be crucial, and
the new residents should be encouraged to use local businesses such
as shops in the area rather than the city centre; (h)
Section 106 funding from developments can only be used for
affordable housing, education and open spaces, and must be directly
linked to the development. However, funding may be available for
schemes such as public realm improvements in the Meadows; (i)
a new hotel would be welcome in the area; (j)
new developments will be mindful of important views of the Castle
Rock from the area; (k)
each development is considered on its
own merits regarding affordable housing provision so will vary from
development to development. This could be part of the development
itself being affordable or Section 106 contributions towards
affordable housing elsewhere; Some Community Representatives were wary of the height of the proposed new developments, and a lack of parking provision.
RESOLVED to
(1)
thank Rob for the information provided; (2) request an update at a future Committee if required. |
