The Travel Plan also identifies the need for a Travel PlanCo-ordinator to actively promote the contents and benefits of using the TravelPlan.3.36 Reference is also made to the benefits of car club provision and that the TravelPlan and Travel Plan Co-ordinator will be promoting its use.Daylight and sunlight report3.37 This document confirms why the development proposal warranted theconsideration of daylight and sunlight due to its relatively dense urban location...Further, given that the proposal includes a 9-storey block, it is imperative that thescheme minimises any impact to current levels of sunlight and daylight currentlyafforded to nearby properties.3.38 Appended to this report, are 3D angled drawings of the application site in itsprevious form (prior to demolition of the previous residential blocks) and theenvirons.3.39 The assessment of these drawings against BRE (Building ResearchEstablishment) guidance lead to conclusions that the impact of the applicationproposal upon the sunlight and daylight levels of the existing surroundingbuildings is small. The conclusion acknowledges that there are isolated instanceswhere strict compliance to the guidance is not adhered to (4% of units do not fullycomply with the BRE standards); however in each case the shortfall is consideredto be minimal.Phase 4 Kender Triangle, SE14
