Barham Park Estate, Sudbury - Greater London Authority

71 A construction management plan should though, be prepared to address any issues
arising during construction, and to ensure that the proposed development complies with
London Plan Policy 3C.25 (and Policy 6.14 of the London Plan consultation draft
replacement, October 2009). As part of this plan there should be provision to encourage
consolidation of loads and waste wherever possible.
Travel plan
72 A draft Travel Plan has been provided and the final document should be secured
through the S106 agreement in line with London Plan policy 3C.2 ‘Matching development
to transport capacity’. It is considered that a car club should be set up as part of the Travel
Plan and that two spaces on the site should be dedicated for car club use.
73 The Travel Plan must be adjusted to include an agreed way forward with a car club
operator including membership funding for one member per household for 10 years from
first occupation for all dwellings without a dedicated parking space. This car club package
should be secured through the S106 and referred to in the Travel Plan.
Summary
74 In principle, TfL does not have any objection to the proposed development subject to
the matters noted above being satisfactorily addressed through the provision of additional
information or the use of planning conditions/section 106 clauses, where appropriate to
ensure compliance with strategic planning policies 3C21, 3C.22, 3C.2, 3C.25 and draft
replacement London Plan Policy 6.13.
Climate change
75 The London Plan promotes five principles in policy 4A.9 to promote and support the
most effective adaptation to climate change. These are to minimise overheating and
contribute to heat island effects; minimise solar gain in summer; contribute to flood risk
reduction, including applying sustainable drainage; minimising water use; and protect
and enhance green infrastructure. Specific policies cover overheating, living roofs and
walls and water. The London Plan Consultation Draft Replacement Plan also includes
policies to ensure the development makes the fullest contribution to London’s
adaptation to climate change.

Baseline carbon dioxide emissions (policy 4A.4 of London Plan)
76 A satisfactory approach has been undertaken to the calculation of the baseline
emissions, which on a whole energy basis, have been calculated by the applicant using
building regulations approved software to be 858 tonnes per annum.
Energy efficiency standards (Policy 4A.3 of the London Plan)
77 A combination of passive design and energy efficiency measures are proposed which
will collectively reduce carbon emissions by 13% beyond the overall development baseline.
The passive design features include optimisation of the orientation of the buildings,
improved fabric insulation U-values and improved air tightness beyond building
regulations minimum requirements. Other energy efficiency measures include improved
controls and heat recovery systems.
