Assessment of travel plans

Assessing your travel plan before you submit your planning application

Hampshire County Council's travel plan team will assess the travel plan and provide comprehensive feedback including a statement of the plan's level of acceptability and whether it requires redrafting.

Developers are strongly advised to refer to Hampshire County Council's guide prior to submission:

Travel plan evaluations

Hampshire County Council has produced travel plan templates for residential and commercial developments.

These templates set out a travel plan structure that incorporates all of the information required within a travel plan, and travel plans that utilise this structure are more likely to be approved without redrafting:

Fees

Fees for the evaluation and monitoring of travel plans are based on the size of the development.
