Greenwich Travel Planning and Sustainable Transport Guidance
Greenwich is one of London's fastest-growing boroughs, combining historic neighbourhoods with major regeneration areas and thriving commercial districts. With significant developments taking place across locations such as Greenwich Peninsula, Woolwich, Charlton, and Eltham, the Royal Borough of Greenwich continues to prioritise sustainable transport as part of its long-term planning strategy. Developers are increasingly expected to demonstrate how new schemes will reduce reliance on private vehicles and encourage environmentally responsible travel choices.
At Capital Transport Planning, we prepare comprehensive Travel Plans tailored specifically to developments within Greenwich. We understand the borough's transport objectives, planning policies, and expectations for sustainable mobility. Whether your project involves residential apartments, office developments, educational facilities, healthcare buildings, or mixed-use schemes, we develop practical Travel Plans that support planning applications and promote long-term behavioural change.
Our reports identify realistic measures that encourage walking, cycling, public transport usage, car sharing, and low-emission travel. Every Travel Plan is carefully prepared to reflect the location, accessibility, and operational requirements of your development while satisfying local authority expectations.

Our Travel Plan Work in Greenwich
Capital Transport Planning recently supported a large residential-led development within the Royal Borough of Greenwich that required a detailed Travel Plan to accompany its planning application. Due to the site's excellent access to rail services, bus routes, and cycling infrastructure, the local authority expected clear proposals to maximise sustainable travel and minimise private car use.
Our consultants assessed existing transport links, reviewed local walking and cycling networks, and developed a comprehensive package of travel initiatives tailored to future residents. The Travel Plan included personalised travel information, cycle parking recommendations, public transport promotion, monitoring arrangements, and achievable modal shift targets.
By producing a clear, evidence-based document aligned with Greenwich's sustainability objectives, we helped the client satisfy planning requirements and demonstrate the long-term transport benefits of the proposed development, contributing positively to the planning process.
Helping Deliver Sustainable Developments
A professionally prepared Travel Plan demonstrates that your development has carefully considered its long-term transport impacts and supports more sustainable travel behaviour. It provides planning officers with confidence that appropriate measures will be implemented to reduce traffic generation, encourage active travel, and maximise the use of existing public transport infrastructure.
At Capital Transport Planning, we produce practical, policy-compliant Travel Plans that are tailored to each development rather than relying on generic templates. We work closely with clients, architects, and planning consultants to ensure every document reflects the specific characteristics of the site and addresses local planning priorities. Our experience across London enables us to identify effective travel initiatives that are both realistic and achievable, helping minimise planning delays while supporting successful development outcomes.
