Movement Plan

Sustainable Travel Policy  Encouraging walking and cycling  Encouraging the use of public transport  Managing car use and parking to encourage more sustainable travel choices  Supporting the TravelWise scheme  Regularly monitoring transport modes  Employing a Travel Co-ordinator to oversee implementation

Pedestrians & Cyclists  Strong on-site footway/cycleway network with connections to external routes  Creation of a mixture of dedicated footways/cycleways using internal roads  Bike parking and changing/shower facilities integrated into new buildings as a matter of course  Student residences will be built within walking or cycling distance of campus where possible  A cycle repair and maintenance centre will be set up

Summary  The University has a significant impact  We are endeavouring to manage that impact  Expansion of facilities for both teaching and research, and the associated support services such as catering and student accommodation  The development areas proposed are all contained within the land first approved for development in 1964  New developments would be designed and constructed according to the highest standards – BREEAM ‘Excellent’
