Transport & Connectivity

Active Travel

Our objective is to encourage active and healthy lifestyles through the provision of infrastructure and the promotion of active travel opportunities available for residents, employees and visitors.

Public & Private Transport

Our objective is to encourage the use of local public transport services and support modal interchange; enhance the quality and availability of travel information and advice for site users; and to support sustainable and shared car-based mobility, minimising the number of single occupancy car driver trips made by residents, employees and visitors.

Logistics

Our objective is to minimise the impacts of goods delivery and servicing trips on the local road network, easing congestion, reducing vehicle GHG emissions and improving local air quality.

From the outset, we have considered and prioritised the needs of pedestrians through the creation of a public realm that is attractive, informative and safe, with a wide selection of everyday amenities that make our '15 minute neighbourhood' a reality.

We provide a wide range of information on how to access Wembley Park on foot and by bicycle and employ a dedicated Transport Coordinator to manage the implementation of our Strategic Travel Plan.

Cycling is popular and accessible and at Wembley Park we have provided 5,158 resident cycle spaces and 969 within the public realm.

Putting sustainable transport at the heart of Wembley Park

All the basic amenity necessities are all within walking distance, i.e three supermarkets, post offices, corner co-ops, retail shops, three stations and numerous buses to name but a few. Local resident

A neighbourhood for the future

In addition to the provision of physical road infrastructure, our leasing and development strategies are also aligned to ensure that as more residents and businesses move in to our homes and offices, the range of local services and amenities is consistent with the 15-minute neighbourhood concept.

Car clubs offer a convenient, cost-effective and sustainable alternative to owning a car. We have partnered with Zipcar and offer discounted car club membership to our residents and tenants.

100% of the car parking spaces in our future plots at Wembley Park have the capacity to be for EV enabled for electric vehicles.

Logistics

At Wembley Park we have adopted a Construction Logistics Plan that includes a centralised logistics bug and manages all construction vehicle movements across the development.
We are currently looking at ways in which we can implement a similar approach with our tenants and residents in the operation of our development.
It was recognised early on that with the quanitiy of development under construction at any given time, we would require a strategic approach to the management of traffic within the development and deliveries to individual sites. Wembley Park has seen 180,000 logistics vehicles since 2017 and at peak processes 9,000 logistics vehicles per month. Our strategic plan improves safety, reduces GHG emissions and improves air quality.
