I have carried out transport assessments and travel plans for several Gurdwaras in West London- one of which was for Afghan Sikhs
These were largely self funded so building work in such cases may have been progressed at the rate funds were built up!
Incidentally, I had contact with the architect for this one at the time as I had no historical data on trip movements only churches which was obviously atypical. He did not have any info either but the local authority may not have asked for such supplementary information
I got the impression also that there was no requirement for either for a 'Transport Assessment or a 'Travel Plan' these are required at least in London to try and reduce car based travel.
I am in two minds about this, I have a background in public transport, but am as wedded to car use as most other people and find such restraints almost impossible to enforce.
