Designation Alteration to Britomart

A Brief History of Britomart

• Train terminus removed to Beach Rd in 1930s and redeveloped as bus depot • Mid 90s - ACC extended designation to provide large underground new rail / bus terminus and carpark (6 levels) • Proposal later abandoned by ACC • Public and stakeholder consultation followed by design competition in 2000 • Operative designation amended in 2001 to reflect final design • ACC reviewed Britomart designation in 2003/4 and amended again to reflect ‘as built’ situation.

• Construction conditions removed

Discussion

Transport - Conclusions There is an established way of approach transport appraisal based on straight line growth forecasts and values of time with fixed population and employment patterns, but it is not clear that it reflects what actually happens

In reality transport drives land use patterns just as much as land use drives transport demand
