Car parking utilisation monitoring

Monitor car park usage and occupancy for five years, from first occupation off Social Sciences Quarter or STEM, using ANPR data on a monthly basis
If utilisation exceeds 90% occupancy at peak periods for three consecutive months, further mitigation is required

Review University-related traffic to/from Campus at peak periods for duration of the SPD on a biennial basis to ensure 16% peak period uplift from 2018 baseline is not reached

Biennial traffic surveys (Oct/Nov) at fixed locations to monitor University-related traffic over time, to be supplemented with evidence base from annual travel survey and Vivacity sensors

If 16% peak period University-generated traffic growth is exceeded, use Monitor and Manage Transport Fund for mitigation to include sustainable transport measures
