ACCESS AND MOVEMENT We have looked at the pattern of roads around the site, the best places to get in and out and connections to the surrounding area for cars, cycles and pedestrians. We have also looked at the provision of public transport around the site. We will use this information to design the entrances, key streets, cycleways and paths for the development and look at how public transport can be integrated with the scheme. ENVIRONMENT We have looked at all the environmental features on and around the site. This will tell us which need to be protected and incorporated into our design as well as identify potential problems such as fmooding or noise which will require an appropriate design solution.

Things to think about
Before we start designing a new scheme, we complete an assessment of the site and the surrounding area as they are at the moment. We record those features we will need to take into account in our design. All of the relevant considerations, whether they fjx the way
- ur scheme will have to be designed or give us a real
- pportunity to make the most of a particular feature,
are shown here.

Good pedestrian access to local facilities. Linking the site into the local walking network. Looking at sustainable transport options. Looking at the capacity of key road junctions and undertaking necessary improvements. Providing ample parking onsite. The variety of characteristic historic buildings.
Information about the site we need to take into account
Site considerations
ACCESS AND MOVEMENT The map above shows the facilities within the village of Wing and the location of the proposed development. As can be appreciated from the map, the site lies within easy walking distance of the various shops and other facilities that Wing has to offer. As can be seen right, Wing currently has excellent footpath provision which will link into the proposed site. This puts all of the facilities in Wing within walking distance via safe and convenient routes, thereby negating the need for the vast majority of new residents to travel within Wing by car. As can be seen above, there are bus stops close to the site on Stewkley Road. They are served by the number 165 bus, which runs a regular service between Aylesbury and Leighton Buzzard. ACCESS AND MOVEMENT A Travel Plan will also be submitted as part of a future planning application on the site. The Travel Plan will provide advice regarding the sustainable travel options available to residents of the site and will include a target for modal shift away from single occupancy car use towards more sustainable modes of transport. A Travel Plan Coordinator will be appointed by the developer to promote the sustainable initiatives proposed within the Travel Plan and to ensure that the Travel Plan target is achieved. ACCESS AND MOVEMENT In order to assess the impact of the development upon the local highway network, traffjc counts have been undertaken at the off-site junctions circled on the map above. The existing capacity and future capacities, with and without the development, of the junctions will be assessed as part of a full Transport Statement (TS) that will be submitted as part of a future Planning Application to be approved by the local Highway Authority. In the event that this modelling demonstrates that the proposed development will impact upon the
- peration of the junction, highway improvement works will be designed to mitigate their impact. The developer will contribute towards
any necessary highway mitigation works. DESIGN INFLUENCES We have looked at the buildings in and around Wing, in order to identify what is interesting and characteristic about the village in terms
- f its buildings, streets and environment.
