1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 WYG have been engaged by Lidl UK GmbH to produce this Framework Travel Plan (TP) for a
new foodstore on the site of their existing store to the western side of the B1302 Boldon Lane,
South Shields. It is understood the store is to employ approximately 40 members of staff in
store, i.e. circa 30 full-time equivalents. Space Drawing A(90)GAP001 Rev 7 in Appendix A
shows the site layout.
1.2 WYG have also produced a Transport Assessment (TA) under separate cover.
1.3 Lidl are committed to the principles of sustainable development, and so seek to influence the
travel choices of their staff at the store with the implementation of a Full TP. To protect and
enhance the environment, and to encourage sustainable development and travel patterns, the
report reviews the current situation in the vicinity of the site and puts forward measures to
encourage accessibility via a choice of transport modes.
1.4 To best achieve its potential benefits, a TP shall involve the following:
• The genuine and committed support of Lidl.
• Encourage good urban design principles which open up the permeability of the site for
walking and cycling.
• Physical measures of site design, infrastructure and new facilities with the behavioural
measures of marketing, promotion and awareness-raising among staff and customers.
• A designated TP Co-ordinator appointed by Lidl before first occupation of the site,
responsible for the development, implementation and day-to-day running of the plan.
1.5 Experience has shown the following are a number of key elements to the successful
implementation of a TP:
• Commitment in promoting and marketing the plan to staff and customers.
• Regular completion of travel surveys and auditing of travel patterns.
• The involvement of staff and customers as appropriate.
• Monitoring the ongoing TP process.

2 EXISTING SITUATION
2.1 The site is the existing Lidl foodstore, with access to it gained from the B1302 Boldon Lane via
a priority junction with Stanley Street, bounded on all sides by residential areas bisected by
Boldon Lane which runs along the eastern boundary. The Nexus metro line is to the west of
the site.
2.2 On the north-western side of the site is a local authority car parking area and substation which
shares an access with the Lidl service yard from South Dene.
2.3 Figure 1 in Appendix A shows the location.
Local Road Network
2.4 Stanley Street is a street-lit single carriageway running in a general east to west direction
along the site’s southern boundary from the junction with Boldon Lane up to its terminus
approximately 170m to the west. The posted speed limit is 30mph, with street-lit footways
along both sides of the carriageway. Priority junctions serve the Oakdale Care Home, Lucock
Street and the Lidl site.
2.5 Vehicle access from Stanley Street leads directly into the customer car park. Contiguous
footways lead into the site connecting to those on Boldon Lane. Visibility in both directions
along Stanley Street for drivers turning out of the car park is good at a 2.4m setback from the
giveway line.
2.6 Stanley Street forms a priority junction with Boldon Lane. A painted central lane on Boldon
Lane provides storage for 3 vehicles to wait to turn right into Stanley Street without impeding
traffic from behind. The junction has dropped kerbs on both sides of Stanley Street, with
bollards along both sides of Boldon Lane to discourage parking at the kerbside. Visibility to the
left along Boldon Lane for drivers turning out of Stanley Street is good at a 2.4m setback from
the giveway line. That to the right is limited by the Last Orders Public House, although at a
2.4m setback it is good.

2.7 Boldon Lane runs in a general south to north direction from its roundabout junction with the
A1300 John Reid Road past the site’s eastern boundary to its roundabout junction with the
A194 Jarrow Road. Closer to the site it forms a signalised junction with the B1298 Stanhope
Road. Locally the route is subject to a 30mph speed limit.
2.8 Boldon Lane is a street-lit single carriageway with footways along both sides and several
painted central lanes to store vehicles waiting to turn right into side roads. Northwards the
road forms a 4-arm mini-roundabout with Green Lane and then a 3-arm mini-roundabout with
Harton Lane.
2.9 The Harton Lane junction has pedestrian islands on the northern side (Boldon Lane) and the
eastern side (Harton Lane). Visibility to the left on Harton Lane is limited by the Winskells
Public House. On the northern side of the mini-roundabout are southbound and northbound
bus stops, with painted central hatch provided to assist drivers to overtake a bus stationary at
either stop. Both bus stops have a shelter with timetable information.
2.10 Straker Terrace, opposite and slightly staggered from Stanley Street, forms a priority junction
with Boldon Lane. It has a raised giveway line with traffic calming along the road in the form
of humps.
2.11 North of the junction, 130m approx and past a signalised pedestrian crossing outside the Lidl
foodstore, Boldon Lane forms a signalised junction with Stanhope Road section of carriageway
leading to the signalised junction with Stanhope Road. The junction has single lane
approaches on all arms, although a second flare lane is provided back from the stopline on
both Stanhope Road and Boldon Lane southbound. Boldon Lane northbound has a painted
central pocket with storage for 3 cars waiting to turn right into Stanhope Road, but on the
occasion when a bus or articulated lorry is waiting only 1 more car can be stored before traffic
from behind becomes impeded. There are walkways with green man facilities across all arms.
2.12 North of the Stanhope Road junction on Boldon Lane are the nearest bus stops to the Lidl site.
The northbound stop, which has a shelter with timetable information, is just to the north and
the southbound stop, which also has a shelter with timetable information, is a further 30m to
the north.

Accessibility
2.13 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) replaces a number of national policy documents,
including Planning Policy Guidance note 13 (PPG 13). At bullet 11 of paragraph 17 NPPF
explains planning “should make the fullest possible use of public transport, walking and
cycling” and at paragraph 10 it guides “plans and decisions need to take local circumstances in
to account, so they respond to the different opportunities for achieving sustainable
development in different areas”.
Walking
2.14 Walking for all purposes as the main mode of travel was interrogated using the National Travel
Survey (NTS) to calculate the average and 85th percentile distances travelled. The 2010 to
2012 data had between 7,700 to 8,200 fully co-operating households, covering over 18,000
individuals, and so provides a robust sample. The analysis shows, outside London, the
average distance people walk is 1.15km and the 85th percentile distance is 1.95km. WYG
recommend the 85th percentile distance should be used to establish the walking catchment.
2.15 Figure 2 in Appendix A shows the nearby footpaths and local pedestrian routes. At a typical
walking speed of 80m per min, a 1.15 km walk takes 15 minutes and a 1.95km walk takes just
under 25 minutes.
2.16 There are existing footways along both sides of Boldon Lane which runs past the site’s eastern
boundary, with a pedestrian link leading directly to the store entrance.
2.17 A signalised crossing is located outside of the site and there are full green man facilities at the
junction with the B1298 Stanhope Road, to the north of the site, from which the nearest bus
stops on Boldon Lane can be reached.
2.18 A pedestrian link approximately 140m to the west of the site, at the end of Stanley Street,
leads to the residential areas to the south-west providing an alternative route to the store
avoiding Boldon Lane, with connections to the traffic-free cycle route.

2.19 The site can be accessed from West Harton via Boldon Lane within a 5 minute walk, and from
the northern areas of Tyne Dock and West Way within a 4 minute walk, by way of contiguous
footway along Boldon Lane and the residential side streets. Further afield the residential areas
of Simonside, Biddick Hall, Whiteleas and south-western areas of Westoe are able to reach the
site within a walk time of up to 25 minutes.
Cycling
2.20 Cycling for all purposes as the main mode of travel was also interrogated using the 2010 to
2012 NTS to calculate the average and 85th percentile distances travelled. The analysis shows,
outside London, the average distance people cycle is 4.3km and the 85th percentile distance is
7.25km. WYG recommend the 85th percentile distance should be used to establish the cycling
catchment.
2.21 The locations of cycle routes surrounding the site are shown at Figure 3 in Appendix A.
2.22 Approximately 140m west of the site at the termination of Stanley Street is a connection
leading to a long distance traffic-free cycle route running southbound through West Harton,
Biddick Hall and Whiteleas before terminating at East Boldon metro station approximately
3.8km south of the site, accessible within a 15 minute cycle ride.
2.23 Connections from this route lead to Brockley Whins, Boldon Colliery, West Boldon and New
Town to the west and south-west via a combination of traffic-free and other signed or advisory
routes. To the east and south-east areas of Cleadon Park and Cleadon can be reached within
a 12 minute cycle ride again through the combined use of traffic-free and advisory cycle
routes.
2.24 National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 1, which locally runs between Sunderland and South
Shields along a coastal route, can be reached within a 20 minute cycle ride stopping at
Whitburn, Marsden, Horsley Hill and South Shields Town Centre where local cycle connections
provide routes to the site.

Public Transport
2.25 Walking distances have been analysed for those trips where walking was the 1st stage mode of
travel and bus was the 2nd stage mode of travel. The NTS data from 2002 to 2012 was used
to calculate the average and 85th percentile walking distances to a bus stop. The analysis
shows, outside of London, the average distance people walk to a bus stop is 580m and the
85th percentile distance is 810m. It concluded at 580m there is a good prospect people would
walk to a bus stop and 810m is the furthest distance people could be expected to walk to a
bus stop.
2.26 The nearest bus stops to the site are located on Boldon Lane to the north of the signalised
junction with Stanhope Road, accessible via the existing footways and crossing locations.
Further stops are located on Stanhope Road, to the east of the junction, as shown at Figure 4
in Appendix A.
2.27 All of the stops are accessible within a walking time of 3 to 4 minutes and they have shelters
with timetable information.

3 OBJECTIVES
3.1 A TP is a package of practical sustainable measures aimed at addressing the travel and
transport needs of a development. Alternatively, The Good Practice Guide defines a TP as “a
long term management strategy for a site which seeks to deliver sustainable transport
objectives through positive action and is articulated in a document which is regularly
reviewed”.
3.2 This Framework TP proposes measures to encourage accessibility via a variety of transport
modes, implemented across the site.
3.3 The specific objectives lie in the delivery of sustainable transport objectives which aim to:
• Improve the accessibility of the site by means other than the single occupancy private car.
• Ensure subsequent TP revisions meet the needs of staff and customers.
• Make staff aware of the environmental, financial and health benefits to be derived from
the plan.
• Reduce the level of vehicular traffic generated by the new foodstore.
• Enable the store to protect and enhance the environment.

4 MEASURES
4.1 The objectives of the TP are supported by a series of measures. These encourage walking,
cycling or use of public transport, among staff and customers at the new foodstore, and thus
to reduce the amount of trips to and from the site by single occupancy private car. The
measures discussed below have been considered given the modest size of store.
Plan Management
4.2 Effective management is essential if the TP measures are to be successfully implemented. Day
to day operation and management of the plan are to be carried out by the TP Co-ordinator,
who promotes, maintains, monitors and reviews it. The Co-ordinator is the focal point and
point of contact for all travel-related issues among staff and customers.
4.3 The TP Co-ordinator is to be a member of staff at the new foodstore.
Measures to Reduce the Need to Travel
4.4 To reduce the need to travel, the following measure is delivered:
T1 Lidl is to recruit, as far as is possible, from the local area. This ensures the staff
catchment area remains as localised as possible and therefore a significant number
of employees are able to access the site by walking, cycling or public transport.
Measures to Reduce Car Usage
4.5 To encourage a reduction in the use of private car the following measures are delivered:
CU1 Car sharing among employees is to be promoted by the TP Co-ordinator, to involve
setting up a database and encouraging members of staff to talk to each other and
explore opportunities for travelling to/ from work together. Arrangements for
providing a ride home in the case of emergency are to be investigated.
WYG Transport
WYG Transport part of the WYG Group creative minds safe hands
Replacement Foodstore, Tyne Dock, South Shields - Framework Travel Plan Date: December 2015
11
CU2 Other measures to reduce the use of single occupancy vehicles for work-related
trips, such as car pooling or car clubs. The TP Co-ordinator is to make available
information on web sites which provide these services, an example of which is
www.liftshare.com.
Measures to Promote Public Transport
4.6 Public transport is promoted through the following measures:
PT1 Public transport information, maps, leaflets etc, provided by the TP Co-ordinator
made available to employees as part of their induction process when they start
work at the store. Such information also to be displayed in customer areas.
PT2 The TP Co-ordinator to liaise with public transport operators and, when aware of
promotions or assistance initiatives, is to disseminate information of these to
employees.
Measures to Promote Walking
4.7 Walking is encouraged by the following measures:
W1 The health and fitness benefits of walking to be promoted to employees, to take
the form of posters in communal areas, emails or through staff meetings. Such
information also to be displayed in customer areas.
W2 Staff to be advised on personal safety to ensure their walk to work is as safe as
possible.
W3 Travel information provided to employees on walking routes and journey times
between the site and key local destinations. Such information also to be displayed
in customer areas.
W4 Other measures to promote walking and cycling to include the offer of an umbrella
or yellow vest for use by employees.

12
Measures to Promote Cycling
4.8 Cycling is promoted through the following measures:
C1 Secure cycle parking on site.
C2 Details of Department for Transport (DfT) and South Tyneside Council (STC)
cycling promotions and initiatives to be disseminated to employees. Such
information also to be displayed in customer areas.
C3 Cycle maps, made available to employees, showing bike routes and journey times
between the site and key local destinations. Such information also to be displayed
in customer areas.
C4 The TP Co-ordinator to advise employees on where cycle safety information and
training is offered.
Measures to Promote the Travel Plan
4.9 The TP is promoted through the following measures:
TP1 On first arrival at the new foodstore each member of staff is to be provided with a
Welcome Pack, including the travel information discussed above.
TP2 A Staff Notice Board is to be installed on site, to be used by the TP Co-ordinator to
promote events at the store, to identify local footpath and cycle routes, advertise
promotions in the locale, and to promote the plan itself.

5 MONITORING
5.1 The TA to accompany the planning application demonstrated the traffic impacts of the new
foodstore can be accommodated on the road network local to the site.
5.2 Table 5.1 below presents the numbers of vehicle trips predicted to be generated during the
busiest times of the week, i.e. weekday PM and Saturday peak hours, and which were tested
in the TA.
Table 5.1: New Foodstore, Generated Traffic
Arrivals Departures
Time Period Vehicles Vehicles
Weekday PM Peak Hour 134 181
Saturday Peak Hour 161 170
Trip rate is per 100sqm
5.3 The prime objective of the TP is to reduce the numbers of trips by single occupancy private
car, and in particular to ensure the volumes tested in the TA are not exceeded.
5.4 Monitoring the progress of a TP can be done by regularly surveying staff and customers on site
for the duration of the plan to understand their travel habits. The following survey pattern is
envisaged:
• A first survey to determine travel patterns once the new foodstore has been opened for a
period of 3 months.
• A follow up survey of staff and customers 12 months after the first survey, during the
same neutral month, and annually thereafter.
5.5 These surveys seek to identify any change in travel habits and also to be a means of
identifying areas in which the TP Co-ordinator’s efforts can best be directed. The survey
results and plan outcomes to be shared with STC within 1 month of the data being formulated.
5.6 The surveys to include the following:
• A short survey distributed to all staff during the same week to allow directly comparable
data to be collected without seasonal effects.
• Survey of vehicle movements at the car park access off Stanley Street.
WYG Transport
WYG Transport part of the WYG Group creative minds safe hands
Replacement Foodstore, Tyne Dock, South Shields - Framework Travel Plan Date: December 2015
14
• A short face–to–face survey of customers on leaving the store which specifically asks by
what mode of transport they travelled and, if by car, how many occupants were in the car
and what is their home postcode.
5.7 A secondary objective of the TP is to reduce the number of staff undertaking single occupancy
vehicle trips, for which an indicator of 10% is considered challenging. Endeavours will be
made to achieve this by the end of year 5 of the TP.
Remedial Measures
5.8 In the event progress of the TP is becoming stagnant, an Action Plan would be drawn up to set
out how additional remedial measures should be introduced.
5.9 The DfT document Good Practice Guidelines: Delivering Travel Plans through the Planning
Process sets out a number of examples of remedial measures which may be implemented to
improve on any targets not being met. Such measures may include some or all of the
following:
• Further promotion of non-car modes of transport.
• Additional one-to-one travel planning sessions among staff.
• Consideration of additional infrastructure to facilitate walking, cycling or public transport.
• Involvement in national events, such as walk week or bike week.
5.10 At the end of the first TP period, envisaged to be 5 years, a thorough assessment is made on
the success of the plan.
