Travel Plan Monitoring Fees Consultation

This consultation has now closed. We are considering the results and a decision will be made in due course.


We would like to hear your views on proposals to introduce a harmonised system for charging developers Travel Plan monitoring fees across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP). There is currently a charging scheme for developments in Poole that we are proposing to apply in Bournemouth and Christchurch.

Your views are important to us and this consultation is an opportunity for you to help shape future decision making.

What is a Travel Plan monitoring fee and who pays it?

Travel plans are a package of measures which encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport in order to reduce the impact of developments on surrounding roads, including new schools, office blocks, blocks of flats, retailers and hotel accommodation.

The council charges a fee for monitoring travel plans which is paid for by developers.
