Cockfosters Bus Services

The request was successful.

Dear Transport for London,

The recent approval to build housing at the current site of Cockfosters will result in a loss of car parking for users and is likely to impact the existing bus services serving Cockfosters.

Please provide the information that a bus review will be conducted in response to this, to add on to this please include a target date when the review will be conducted.

Yours faithfully,

Sean Cirillo

Dear FOI,

Apologies for not being specific which bus review paper or document I'm referring to. I'm referring to the site of Cockfosters where it was confirmed a review took place on the site in light of the housing developments taking place.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Cirillo

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 28
March 2022 asking for information about Cockfosters bus services.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy.  I
can confirm we do hold the information you require. Your request: Thank
you for providing the information that sufficient bus services will match
capacity from the housing developments. Could you please provide the bus
review report or document that concluded that the existing bus services
are at sufficient capacity.

 

In our previous response ref 2661-2122, we advised that TfL had reviewed
forecast trip generation of the proposed development as part of the
planning application process and that we had concluded that existing
capacity of local bus services is sufficient to accommodate new demand
generated by the proposed development, however we would continue to keep
bus routes in the area under review.

 

There is no other separate TfL bus review report or document,  however an
analysis of bus trip generation figures was included in the report by Pell
Frischmann which is available on the London Borough of Enfield’s website
using the following link to the planning pages:
 [1]https://planningandbuildingcontrol.enfie...
under planning reference: 21/02517/FUL – the document was added on 6 July
2021 and can be found within the 195 documents associated with the
planning application. The GLA Stage 1 report is also on Enfield website
and includes TfL response to the application.

 

In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply
you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible
to you elsewhere.

 

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable
to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would
