Traffic Report - responses 11 to 16

5          Traffic Impact Assessment
5.1        Existing Site Traffic Generation
To gain an understanding of the traffic which could have been generated by the site’s approved use, an
18-hole golf course, reference has been made to trip generation rates within the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITEs) ‘Common Trip Generation Manual’ 10th Edition.
The recommended trip generation rate for a golf course is 0.28 trips / acre. On the basis of a 67 acre golf
course (estimated), the anticipated peak hour trip generation would be in the order of 19 trips.
As public use of this facility will cease, this traffic will no longer be generated.
