Proposed Development off Low Wood Road, Nottingham Apollo Drive and joins Hemphill Lane to the north which then ultimately joins route 6 of the National Cycle Network. Copies of the Nottingham City Council Cycle Map are available free of charge and online. The cycle map aims to encourage more people to use their bicycles and experience the range of cycle routes on offer throughout Nottingham. These include recommended cycle routes for novice cyclists and route number 6 of the National Cycling Network to on-road cycle lanes providing more direct routes for the commuter cyclist. Every route shown on the map has been cycled and evaluated and many of the advisory routes marked have been suggested by local cyclists. The map also highlights places of interest that cyclists may wish to visit as well as all important refreshment stops. Copies of the cycle map are available free of charge by contacting the Transportation Unit or accessing the website shown below; http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashxid=30730&p=0 9.3 Accessibility by Bus Nottingham public transport services are on a primary route that provides a passenger service to all parts of Nottingham. A good frequency of bus service services is currently available that will promote sustainable travel for the proposed development and offer an excellent alternative mode of transport for commuters from and out of Nottingham City centre. Bus stops exist on Low Wood Road (northbound and southbound), on Hempshill Lane and also on also on the A610 and on Nottingham Road. The bus stops are located to provide good accessibility for the residents with the nearest bus stops available via a maintained footway link across the A610. The bus stop located on the Nottingham Road is approximately 100 metres south of the proposed site with the A610 Nuthall bus stop located approximately 200 metres west of the site. To the north of the site, via the shared footway/cycle link on Low Wood Road, the bus stops are located approximately 450 metres north east on Hempshill Lane with services available to Nottingham, Snape Wood, Bulwell Estates and Bulwell Market. The bus stops provide a convenient link into the Nottingham public transport system that serves all of the Nottingham area. The available public transport services, amenities and facilities will be discussed in detail later in this report. The proposed development will be ideally located to take advantage of the existing public transport services that operate within the vicinity of the site. 36
Proposed Development off Low Wood Road, Nottingham 9.4 Rail/Tram Services Phoenix Park NET Tram Service The nearest tram station to the proposed site is a Phoenix Park that is located approximately 0.5 miles east of the site on Millenium Way, Nottingham. The Park is in a comfortable walking and/or cycling distance from the proposed development and the new footpath link within the Hemphill Farm site extends to the edge of the Phoenix Park site and will encourage residents to use the tram facility. The NET Park and Glide Service has over 650 spaces and free to park with the only cost incurred for purchasing the tram travel ticket. Park & Glide sites are safe and secure as they are monitored by CCTV cameras and are patrolled by NET staff. The sites have been designed to the latest security standards and include emergency help points with a direct link to the NET control room. There are a number of buses and trains that connect with the tram network at various points along the route. Many buses allow you to connect with the tram to continue your journey while the rail services allow onward travel to great destinations like London. The trams run from around 6am to midnight Monday to Saturday and from around 8am to 11pm on Sundays. During the middle of the day and at peak times trams are up to every 10 minutes from the Park and Glide sites and up to every 5 minutes in the City Centre The tram line runs from Hucknall (near to the M1 junction 27) and Phoenix Park (just a minute from M1 junction 26) into Nottingham City Centre and terminates at the rail station. It takes under 30 minutes from Hucknall into the City Centre and just 20 minutes from Phoenix Park. The tram runs past a number of key destinations including Bulwell and the Forest Recreational Ground, as well as Nottingham Trent University, Royal Centre, and the City's main shopping districts. Full detailed timetables for the Phoenix Park Station are included in Appendix E of this report. Bulwell Railway/Tram Station Bulwell Railway/Tram Station, that is situated approximately 2.4 kilometres east of the site, is located on Station Road in Bulwell. The Station is currently managed by East Midlands Trains and is on the Robin Hood Line, with an additional spur off the main line that serves Phoenix Park.
