1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

1.1.1 This Transport Assessment accompanies an outline planning application for a mixed use development of residential units and a care home on land at Colerne Airfield in Wiltshire. All matters are reserved in outline except for access which is to be determined.

1.1.2 The application site which is occupied by three hangers has been subject to a number of recent planning applications. Hangars 18 and 20 have planning consent from 2013 for conversion from B8 use a residential and commercial use (planning ref: N/11/03148/FUL). Hangar 19 has planning consent from 2013 for conversion from B8 use to 26 ‘live-work’ units (planning ref: N/13/01567/FUL).

1.1.3 The most recent application for the site planning ref: 16/01972/OUT sought permission for the development of up to 136 dwellings, 10 retirement homes and 1,000sqm of B1 office space. However the application was withdrawn in early 2015.

1.1.4 Whilst the site has planning permission for a mixed residential and commercial development it still retains an unrestricted B8 use which would also allow for the external areas of the site to be used for storage.

1.2 Aim of Report

1.2.1 The aim of this report is to assess the effect of the proposed development in transport terms and to provide background information and details of the scheme proposals. The accessibility of the site is considered including by non-car means of transport. A comparison with the permitted site use in terms of traffic movements is also undertaken.

1.3 Contents

1.3.1 The existing transport context is considered in Section 2 including the strategic location, local area, public transport services and pedestrian and cycle facilities. A summary of the other permitted land uses on the Colerne Airfield site is also provided.

1.3.2 National and local planning policy is set out in Section 3 and the development proposals are described in Section 4 including details of traffic generation and the site layout.

1.3.3 The results of the transport appraisal are described in Section 5 including accessibility of the site by foot, cycle and public transport. A comparison of traffic levels between the permitted and proposed site uses is undertaken. A review of the parking and servicing arrangements provided is also included in this Section.

1.3.4 Our conclusions are set out in Section 6.

2.0 EXISTING TRANSPORT CONTEXT

2.1 Strategic Location

2.1.1 The site is on part of Colerne Airfield in the northern part of Colerne village in Wiltshire as shown at Appendix 1.

2.1.2 Colerne is some 11km north east of Bath, 14km west of Chippenham and 8.5km northwest of Corsham. The A4 passes some 3km to the south of the site and provides a main link between Bath and Chippenham via Corsham. The A420 between Bristol and Chippenham passes some 3.5km north of the site.

2.1.3 Roman Road is some 1.9km to the west and connects Batheaston to the south west of the site and the A420 to the north.

2.2 Local Area

2.2.1 The site is to the south of the main runway with Totts Lane to the east and Bath Road to the south as shown at Appendix 2.

2.2.2 Bath Road has a speed limit of 40mph adjacent to and east of the site which was implemented as part of the local school Travel Plan. Adjacent to the site the speed limit changes to 50mph.

2.2.3 Silver Street meets Bath Road at a cross roads junction with Totts Lane to the east of the site. Silver Street continues south from the junction and connects Bath Road with the High Street in Colerne. Totts Lane is a single track cul-de-sac (no-through road) which provides access to two residential properties and undeveloped land to the east of the site.

2.2.4 Colerne High Street is some 350m to the south of the site. A range of shops and services are provided along the High Street including a convenience store, a post office, doctor’s surgery, public houses and a cafe.

2.2.5 Colerne C of E Primary School is some 370m to the east of the site on Quarry Lane. The nearest secondary schools are The Corsham School in Corsham some 9km to the east and Sheldon School some 12km east in Chippenham.

2.2.6 A playing field, tennis courts and a children’s play area are approximately 250m to the south west of the site, south of Bath Road, adjacent to Green Lane.

2.3 Footways and Cycleways

2.3.1 Footways are generally provided adjacent to local roads in Colerne including on the High Street, Quarry Lane and Silver Street. There is no footway on the north side of Bath Road adjacent to the site.

Peter Evans Partnership

2.3.2 A footway is provided along the southern side of Bath Road from Silver Street eastwards to Quarry Lane connecting to the Primary School. A new section of footway has recently been installed from Silver Street to Green Lane to the west.

2.3.3 No designated cycle routes are provided on local roads around Colerne.

2.4 Public Transport

Bus Services

2.4.1 The nearest bus stops are provided on Silver Street some 150m south east of the site. The bus stop for the village is adjacent to the Church of St. John the Baptist some 550m to the south east close to the village centre.

2.4.2 Bus service 36 (Coachstyle) operates between Sherston and Chippenham on Fridays stopping at Silver Street once in the morning to Chippenham and returning from Chippenham in the mid-afternoon.

2.4.3 Circular service 228 (Faresaver) operates between Colerne and Bath every two hours during the day Monday to Saturday, stopping at the church.

2.4.4 Bus service 635 (Faresaver) operates between Marshfield and Chippenham via Colerne and Sheldon School in Chippenham with one service in the morning peak Monday to Friday from Marshfield to Chippenham and the return service at school finishing time.

2.5 Traffic Survey

2.5.1 An Automatic Traffic Count (ATC) was undertaken on Bath Road adjacent to the site to record traffic flows and vehicle speeds in both directions for a seven day period between the 14th and the 20th July 2017 inclusive. The data from the ATC has been reviewed in order to establish the weekday average morning and evening peak hour traffic flows past the site.

2.5.2 The peak hour traffic flows along the A44 Evesham Road are summarised below and this includes a comparison with an ATC undertaken in March 2014:

North Eastbound South Westbound Two-Way Peak Hour 2014 2017 2014 2017 2014 2017 Road Network Peak 101 134 114 123 215 257 AM 08:00-09:00 Road Network Peak 125 142 99 120 224 262 PM 17:00-18:00

2.6 Safety Record

2.6.1 Personal injury accident records have been provided by Wiltshire Council for the five year period between 1st March 2012 and 28th February 2017 inclusive. The data covers Bath Road in the vicinity of the site frontage include the junctions with Silver Street and Quarry Lane. A plot of the accident locations is provided at Appendix 3.

2.6.2 The data confirms that there have been two slight and one serious accidents with all three occurring at the Bath Road / Quarry Lane junction. The serious accident involved a car travelling on Bath Road colliding with a pedestrian that was crossing Bath Road.

2.6.3 One of the slight accidents involved a car turning right onto Bath Road, striking the kerb and overturning in the carriageway. The other slight accident involved a car on Bath Road attempting to turn right into Quarry Lane being hit by an oncoming car on Bath Road.

2.7 Site Use

2.7.1 The site comprises three former aircraft hangars which now form part of the Colerne Industrial Park. Hangar 18 is in the northern part of the site with Hangars 19 and 20 in the eastern and western parts respectively.

2.7.2 The hangars have previously provided storage facilities for a carpet supplier, a wine merchant, a tyre company and a charity supplying furniture.

2.7.3 Hangar 19 provided some 4,794sqm of B8 storage and distribution use and in November 2010 planning permission was granted for conversion of the hangar to provide 26 ‘live- work’ units. This permission was renewed in 2013.

2.7.4 Hangar 18 was granted planning consent in April 2013 to provide a total of 26 residential units and 400sqm of B1 employment use. The same consent was also granted to Hangar 20 as part of the same planning approval.

2.7.5 Access from Bath Road to the Colerne Industrial Park including the development site is provided at a priority junction some 1.2km west of the site.

2.8 Existing and Permitted Traffic Generation

Existing Traffic

2.8.1 On the previous planning applications the highway officer has indicated that use of trip rates for parcel distribution centres as one of the previous uses may not be representative of the existing use on the site. On this basis a further review of the TRICS national database has been undertaken for the ‘Warehousing – Commercial’ category.

Proposed Mixed Residential Development, Colerne Industrial Park Page 4 Transport Assessment, August 2017

Peter Evans Partnership

2.8.2 TRICS sites in England (excl London), Wales and Scotland in edge of town locations and with a population of less than 100,000 people within five miles have been considered. Only sites between 2,500sqm and 20,000sqm were selected as these would be more representative of the Colerne site. To provide a greater sample size the default date setting in TRICS was also extended back to 2005. The review has determined the following vehicle trip rates with the output data provided at Appendix 4:

‘Warehousing – Commercial’ Existing B8 Site Use Vehicle Trip Rates (per 100sqm) Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 0.303 0.265 0.568 Evening Peak Hour 0.120 0.290 0.410 Daily 2.923 2.776 5.699

2.8.3 The TRICS information also contains the trip rates for goods vehicle:

‘Warehousing – Commercial’ Existing B8 Site Use Goods Vehicle Trip Rates (per 100sqm) Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 0.114 0.145 0.259 Evening Peak Hour 0.025 0.076 0.101 Daily 1.153 1.314 2.467

2.8.4 Based on the above trip rates the existing hangars could generate the following traffic:

‘Warehousing – Commercial’ Existing B8 Site Use Vehicle Trips (Goods Vehicles) Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 44 38 82 (37) Evening Peak Hour 17 42 59 (15) Daily 421 399 820 (335)

2.8.5 The TRICS review for commercial warehouses as opposed to parcel distribution centres has indicated that the likely vehicle traffic generation of the hangars in the morning peak hour would be comparable with either set of trip rates. However in the evening peak hour and over the course of the day the traffic would be lower for a commercial warehouse use than a parcel distribution centre.

Permitted Traffic

2.8.6 The approved vehicle movements derived from TRICS for the change of use of Hangars 18 and 20 from B8 to residential/B1 use (ref: N/11/03148/FUL) were set out in the PEP Transport Statement, August 2011. Although Hangar 20 was outside of the application site boundary it would share the permitted access with Hangar 18 and was therefore included in the forecasted trips:

Proposed Live-Work Permitted Vehicle Trips – Hangers 18 & 20 Development Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 21 24 45 Evening Peak Hour 22 25 47

2.8.7 The approved vehicle movements derived from TRICS for the change of use of Hangar 19 from B8 to residential live/work use (ref: N/13/01567/FUL) were set out in the PEP Transport Statement, April 2013 and are:

Proposed Live-Work Permitted Vehicle Trips – Hanger 19 Development Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 8 11 19 Evening Peak Hour 14 6 20

2.8.8 The total permitted trip generation in the peak hours for the site at the permitted site access is:

Proposed Live-Work Proposed Vehicle Trips Development Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 29 35 64 Evening Peak Hour 36 31 67

2.8.9 The permitted development flows are shown at Appendix 5.

2.9 Local Car Ownership

2.9.1 The existing car ownership of local residents has been reviewed using the 2011 Census data and based on the following Mid-Layer Super Output Areas (MSOA) as the best representation of the settlements of Colerne, North Colerne and the surrounding airfield:

• oa2011:E00162843 • oa2011:E00162849 • oa2011:E00162844 • oa2011:E00162850 • oa2011:E00162846 • oa2011:E00166450 • oa2011:E00162847 • oa2011:E00166451 • oa2011:E00162848

2.9.2 The average car ownership for the output areas is:

Local car ownership – Colerne Number of cars 2011 Census Residents No car 8.1% One car 39.8% Two cars 41.8% Three cars 7.3% Four cars 3%

2.9.3 The average number of cars per dwelling is 1.6.

2.10 Census 2011 Travel to Work

2.10.1 A review of the 2011 Census data for people living in MSOA Wiltshire 017 which includes Colerne has been undertaken to determine the current travel modes of staff from the local area. The review has determined the following modal split:

Mode of Travel % Employees in Wiltshire 017 Car Driver 74% Car Passenger 4.7% Train 1% Bus 1.4% Motorcycle 1% Cycle 5.4% Walk 12.4%

2.11 Discussions with Highway Officers

Wiltshire Council

2.11.1 Discussions between Peter Evans Partnership and highway officers at Wiltshire Council have been undertaken over the course of the previous planning applications as well as the new proposals for the site.

2.11.2 The highway officer has confirmed the following highway related matters:

• the provision of a simple priority junction access arrangement would be acceptable for the level of development proposed; • vehicular visibility splays in line with the speed limit would need to be provided; • the new development proposals should not give rise to an intensification in vehicular traffic above that of the previously consented schemes; • consideration should be given to improvements on Bath Road in the Ford area; and

Proposed Mixed Residential Development, Colerne Industrial Park Page 2 Transport Assessment, August 2017

Peter Evans Partnership

• improvements to sustainable transport would need to be considered as part of the application. Previously the highway officer confirmed that a contribution of £20,000 per year over three years would be acceptable.

Bath and North East Somerset

2.11.3 The highway officer at Bath and North East Somerset (BANES) provided comments on the withdrawn application during the consultation period. These comments included consideration of:

• the development traffic impact at the Bannerdown roundabout junction as well as development distribution; and • construction traffic on the local road network.

3.0 TRANSPORT POLICY

3.1 National Policy

3.1.1 National transport policy guidance is given in the National Planning Policy Framework which was adopted in March 2012.

3.1.2 Promotion of sustainable transport is referenced in Section 4 of the NPPF. Paragraph 35 states that:

‘Plans should protect and exploit opportunities for the use of sustainable transport modes for the movement of goods or people. Therefore, developments should be located and designed where practical to:

• give priority to pedestrian and cycle movements, and have access high quality public transport facilities; • create safe and secure layouts which minimise conflicts between traffic and cyclists or pedestrians, avoiding street clutter and where appropriate establishing home zones; • incorporate facilities for charging plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles; and • consider the needs of people with disabilities by all modes of transport.’

3.1.3 Paragraph 37 states that planning policies should aim for a balance of land uses so that people can be encouraged to minimise journey lengths for employment, shopping leisure education and other activities.

3.1.4 The NPPF specifically states in Section 4 that development should only be prevented or refused on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe (para 32).

3.1.5 NPPF also states that parking standards, if set, should be based more on local characteristics which include the accessibility of the area, surrounding car ownership levels, the type and mix of the development and the overall need to reduce the number of high emission vehicles.

3.2 Local Policy

Wiltshire Council Core Strategy 2015

3.2.1 The Wiltshire Core Strategy Development Plan was formally adopted on 20th January 2015 and provides a planning policy framework for Wiltshire for the period up to 2026.

3.2.2 Core Policy 60 indicates that the council will encourage the sustainable, safe and efficient movement of people and goods within and through Wiltshire by planning developments in accessible locations, maintain and improve the public transport network and promote sustainable travel.

Proposed Mixed Residential Development, Colerne Industrial Park Page 4 Transport Assessment, August 2017

Peter Evans Partnership

3.2.3 Core Policy 61 states that development should be located and designed to reduce the need to travel and to encourage the use of sustainable transport alternatives. A safe access on the public highway must be provided along with a suitable design for servicing. Consideration should be given to the transport users according to the following hierarchy:

• ‘visually impaired and other disabled people; • pedestrians; • cyclists; • public transport; • goods vehicles’ • powered two-wheelers; • private cars.’

3.2.4 Core Policy 62 deals with traffic impact stating that ‘developments should provide appropriate mitigating measures to offset any adverse impacts on the transport network at both construction and operational stages.’

Wiltshire Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3)

3.2.5 As part of the LTP3 a Car Parking Strategy document was approved in March 2015 with Appendix C setting out the parking standards for Wiltshire Council. For residential development the minimum parking standards are:

• 1 bed unit = 1 space • 2-3 bed unit = 2 space • 4 + bed unit = 3 spaces

3.2.6 Unallocated visitor parking should be provided at a minimum of 0.2 spaces per unit.

3.2.7 For C2 class care homes the maximum parking standard is one car space per four beds plus one space per two members of staff.

3.2.8 The Wiltshire Council Cycle Strategy adopted in March 2014 sets out the minimum cycle parking requirements for development:

• 1 covered space per bedroom for up to 3 bedroom dwellings; • 3 covered spaces per unit for 4 bedroom dwellings; and • 4 covered spaces per unit for 5 bedroom dwelling.

3.2.9 Visitor spaces are based on 1 space per 20 bedrooms.

Peter Evans Partnership

3.3 CIHT Guidance

3.3.1 The Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) published ‘Guidelines for Providing for Journeys on Foot’ in 2000. This document indicates that the average length of a walking journey is 1 km. The report also provides advice on acceptable walking distances to a number of facilities.

3.3.2 The suggested distances are provided in Table 3.2 of the document as set out below:

Suggested Acceptable Walking Distance (metres) Commuting/School Elsewhere Desirable 500 400 Acceptable 1000 800 Preferred Maximum 2000 1200

3.3.3 For new developments it is also important to anticipate desire lines and associated crossing locations. The attractiveness of walking would be affected by ease of pedestrian access to the site and the location of buildings and access arrangements within the site.

3.3.4 The CIHT guidance ‘Planning for Public Transport in Developments’ 1999 states that bus stops should be accessible within 400m of development.

3.4 Department for Transport Guidance

3.4.1 The Department for Transport suggest in ‘Local Transport Note 2/08: Cycling Infrastructure Design’ that 5km is a reasonable distance to cycle for utility purposes whereas an 8km cycle distance is not an unreasonable cycle distance for commuter journeys.

Peter Evans Partnership

4.0 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS

4.1 Development

4.1.1 The proposals for the site consist of the provision of 78 residential units and a residential care home with up to 60 bedrooms. The proposed site layout is shown at Appendix 6.

4.1.2 The proposed mix of residential units is:

• 2 bed apartments – 10; • 3 bed houses – 22; • 4 bed houses – 35; and • 5 bed houses – 11

4.1.3 The mix of market and affordable units would be provided in a reserved matters application following approval of the outline planning application.

4.2 Access Proposals

4.2.1 Vehicular access to the site would be provided at a new, simple priority junction on to Bath Road some 145m west of the Silver Street junction. A 6m wide access with 10m corner radii is proposed with visibility splays of 2.4m x 120m to the left and 2.4m x 160m to the right corresponding to the 40mph and 50mph speed limits respectively. In practice visibility to 160m is in any event also provided to the left.

4.2.2 Pedestrian footways are proposed along both sides of the vehicular access and a separate pedestrian access also provided in the site frontage to link with new footway improvements on Bath Road.

4.2.3 The proposed site access and associated works is shown at Appendix 7.

4.3 Off-Site Improvements

4.3.1 Off-site highway improvements are proposed on Bath Road adjacent to and east of the site in line with the proposals indicated for the permitted residential and employment scheme on Hangars 18 and 20. These include sections of footway on the northern side of Bath Road along the site frontage to the east and west of the site access.

4.3.2 In addition a footway is also proposed on the northern side of Bath Road between Totts Lane and Doncombe Lane to provide a link via a drop-kerb crossing to the footway on the southern side of Bath Road for pedestrian access to the primary school.

4.3.3 A pedestrian refuge island and uncontrolled crossing point proposed on Bath Road some 70m east of the site access. These works would include localised carriageway widening and hatched road markings. A second uncontrolled crossing with drop kerbs is also proposed immediately to the west of the site access.

4.4 Parking

Car Parking

4.4.1 The mix of residential unit types for the site would be confirmed at the reserved matters stage. Car parking would be provided in accordance with Wiltshire Council’s Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3) Car Parking Strategy and in consideration of Census local car ownership data. Some 125 parking spaces would be required based on local car ownership levels.

4.4.2 The level of car parking for the care home is likely to be around 30 spaces including two disabled bays as shown on the illustrative layout.

Cycle Parking

4.4.3 Cycle parking would be provided in accordance with Wiltshire Council’s Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3) Cycle Strategy parking standards.

4.5 Trip Generation

Residential Use

4.5.1 The level of vehicle movements that the development proposals would generate has been determined from the latest TRICS 2017 v 7.4.1 database. In relation to the residential element of the proposals, the database has been interrogated under ‘Residential – Houses Privately Owned’. Sites located in Greater London have been removed and only sites with populations of up to 50,000 within 1 mile and up to 100,000 within 5 miles have been included.

4.5.2 The proposals would include affordable housing that typically generates less traffic that private dwellings. However because of the low number of comparable sites relating to the affordable housing these have been included in the ‘Houses Privately Owned’ trips. Therefore when assessing the traffic generation within this report in practice the level of traffic movements would be lower than level of traffic movements forecast.

Proposed Mixed Residential Development, Colerne Industrial Park Page 8 Transport Assessment, August 2017

Peter Evans Partnership

4.5.3 The TRICS output for the proposed residential use is attached at Appendix 8.1 and is summarised in the following table:

Residential – Houses Privately Owned Trip Rate Peak Hour Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 0.155 0.375 0.530 Evening Peak Hour 0.364 0.198 0.562

4.5.4 Based on the above trip rates the proposed residential could generate the following traffic:

Residential – Houses Privately Owned Vehicles Peak Hour Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 12 30 42 Evening Peak Hour 29 16 45

Care Home Use

4.5.5 Traffic at the care home would be associated with staff and visitor movements as residents are typically frail and/or living with cognitive impairments such as dementia and therefore would not own cars. In practice this results in low trip rates.

4.5.6 The care home would likely employ around 60 full time equivalent staff with a maximum of some 25-30 staff on site at any one time when fully occupied and no staff living on the site. Care staff would work on a three-shift basis normally comprising the morning shift starting 06:00-07:00, afternoon shift at around 13:00–14:00 and the night shift at around 21:00- 22:00. Ancillary staff such as kitchen and housekeeping can also work outside normal hours with shifts arranged between 07:00 and 20:00. Administration as well as management staff work normal daytime hours of around 09:00 – 17:00.

4.5.7 Given the timing of the shifts the majority of staff arrivals and departures, particularly for care staff, avoid the local peak traffic periods and are also staggered throughout the day to minimise congestion at staff shift changeover times.

4.5.8 Visitors are typically permitted to see residents at any time during the day and on any day of the week. This helps keep vehicle movements to the site spread throughout the day.

4.5.9 To assess the level of traffic that would be generated by the care home element of the proposals the TRICS database has been interrogated under ‘Health – Care Home (Elderly Residential)’ with sites located in Greater London removed with only sites within edge of town locations selected.

4.5.10 The full TRICS output for the proposed 60 bed care home use is provided at Appendix 8.2 with the peak hours summarised below:

Care Home – Trip Rates Peak Hour Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 0.065 0.109 0.174 Evening Peak Hour 0.076 0.109 0.185

4.5.11 Based on the above trip rates the proposed care home could generate the following traffic:

Care Home – Vehicles Peak Hour Arrivals Departures Two-Way Morning Peak Hour 4 7 11 Evening Peak Hour 5 7 12

Total Traffic Generation

4.5.12 The predicted morning peak hour vehicular trips associated with proposed development are:

Combined Site Trips Morning Peak Hour Arrivals Departures Two-Way Residential 12 30 42 Care Home 4 7 11 Total 16 37 53

4.5.13 The predicted level of evening peak hour vehicular trips associated with proposed development are:

Combined Site Trips Evening Peak Hour Arrivals Departures Two-Way Residential 29 16 45 Care Home 5 7 12 Total 34 23 57

4.6 Traffic Distribution

4.6.1 A review of the 2011 Census data has been undertaken for the Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) Wiltshire 017 to determine the distribution of vehicle trips by local residents to work places as well as employees working in the local area.

4.6.2 The data identifies that 36% of residents in the Wiltshire 017 MSOA also work in the same area. This includes around 16% that work from home and on this basis it is likely that a number of the new residents at the proposed development would also work from home thereby reducing the overall traffic generation of the development.

4.6.3 A review of the surrounding road network identifies four main vehicular routes from Colerne for local residents driving to work:

• east via Ford to the A420 for links to Chippenham and the M4 east; • north via either Doncombe Lane or Roman Road to the A420 at The Shoe for travelling to the M4 west and Bristol; • south west via Roman Road to Batheaston for travelling to Bath; and • south east via Box for travelling to Box and Corsham. A number of these routes are rural roads and therefore many residents may travel via Roman Road and Road Hill instead of using the lanes immediately to the south of Colerne.

4.6.4 Based on this review the following distribution of resident vehicle trips to and from the site is proposed:

• 24% east via Ford to the A420; • 14% north via either Doncombe Lane or Roman Road to the A420, although assume a 50/50 split; • 28% south west via Roman Road to Batheaston; • 25% south east via Box, assume these vehicles would typically travel via Roman Road south and on to Road Hill given the rural nature of the lanes to the south of Colerne. • 9% local traffic of which 5% would travel east and 4% west.

4.6.5 The distribution would give the following peak hour traffic movements for residents of the site on the local roads:

Residential Vehicle Flows (two-way) Route AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour A420 Ford 10 11 A420 The Shoe 6 6 Roman Road to Batheaston 12 13 Roman Road/Road Hill 10 11 Local Trips 4 4 Total 42 45

Employment Trip Distribution

4.6.6 The 2011 Census data for employees in the Colerne area identifies that 53% of employees are likely to drive from the east and 47% from the west with the following distribution on the local road network:

• 37% east via Ford to the A420; • 13% north via either Doncombe Lane or Roman Road to the A420, although assume a 50/50 split; • 24% south west via Roman Road to Batheaston; • 17% south east via Box, assume these vehicles would typically travel via Roman Road south and on to Road Hill, although they could choose the lanes to the south of Colerne; • 9% local traffic from Colerne to the east.

4.6.7 The distribution would give the following peak hour traffic movements for employment on the site on the local roads:

Care Home Employment Vehicle Flows Route (two-way) AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour A420 Ford 4 4 A420 The Shoe 1 2 Roman Road to Batheaston 3 3 Roman Road/Road Hill 2 2 Local Trips 1 1 Total 11 12

4.6.8 The development traffic distribution is shown at Appendix 9 and development traffic flows are shown at Appendix 10.

4.7 Servicing

4.7.1 The care home would typically be serviced by small delivery vehicles such as vans or 7.5T lorries with up to one large lorry arriving per day. Refuse collection would be undertaken typically 2-3 times per week.

4.7.2 Domestic refuse and recycling collection from the residential units would be undertaken in accordance with Wiltshire Council’s itinerary for residences, normally every two weeks.

4.7.3 The current application is in outline. Swept path analysis for large refuse and delivery vehicles would be undertaken of the detailed site layout at the reserved matters stage to confirm that the internal road arrangement is satisfactory. This includes provision of turning heads to allow vehicles to enter and leave in a forward gear.

4.7.4 The vehicle swept path analysis for the illustrative scheme is shown at Appendix 11.

4.8 Traffic Management Proposals at Ford

4.8.1 Off-site highway improvements were proposed at the priority junction of Bath Road and the A420 at Ford as part of the previous application submission. These included a gateway feature to the south west of Ford, a priority narrowing on Bath Road near the junction with the A420, relocation of existing signage on the A420 to improve vehicular visibility and provision of 30mph and 60mph roundels on Bath Road and the A420 respectively on the approaches to the junction.

4.8.2 An indicative scheme of potential improvements is shown at Appendix 12. Discussions are ongoing with the Wiltshire highway officer on this matter and will continue during the application process to agree an appropriate traffic management scheme.

5.0 TRANSPORT APPRAISAL

5.1 Approach

5.1.1 Our appraisal of the proposed development assesses:

• accessibility by means of transport other than the car; • traffic impact of the development on the local road network; • suitability of the access to serve the development; and • safety appraisal of the proposals; and • consistency with policy.

5.2 Accessibility by Alternative Means of Transport

Pedestrians and Cyclists

5.2.1 The CIHT ‘Guidelines for Providing for Journeys on Foot’ indicates that for commuting the acceptable walk distance is 1km with the preferred maximum 2km (table 3.2).

5.2.2 LTN 2/08 ‘Cycle Infrastructure Design indicates typical cycling distances of three to five miles (5km-8km) for utility and commuter cycle journeys respectively.

5.2.3 The whole of Colerne is within a 1km walking distance of the site, therefore enabling residents to walk to local facilities and for local employees to walk to work. The surrounding villages of Marshfield, Box and Rudloe are within a 5km cycling journey with parts of Batheaston and Corsham also within this cycling distance.

5.2.4 Footway improvements would be provided along Bath Road to connect the site to the local footway network providing pedestrian access to the local shops, services and primary school. This is consistent with local and national policy to encourage travel by foot and cycle instead of the private car.

Public Transport

5.2.5 A number of bus services operate in Colerne on Silver Street and in the centre of the village which could be used by new residents on the site or visitors to the care home.

5.2.6 The frequency of these services is typical of rural Wiltshire and many villages in the country. The introduction of the new residential development would increase potential bus patronage maintaining the viability of the services.

5.2.7 The provision of the new footways along Bath Road would connect the site to the existing footway network providing pedestrian accessibility to the local bus stops.

5.2.8 Previously the highway officer confirmed that a public transport contribution of £20,000 per year over three years would be acceptable to improve and maintain existing services in the local area.

Proposed Mixed Residential Development, Colerne Industrial Park Page 14 Transport Assessment, August 2017

5.3 Site Access

5.3.1 Vehicular access to the site is proposed from a new 6m wide simple priority junction off Bath Road some 145m south west of the Silver Street junction. This was previously agreed by the highway officer at Wiltshire Council as part of the existing planning consent.

5.3.2 Visibility splays of 2.4m x 120m to the left and 2.4m x 160m to the right would be provided. These correspond to the 40mph and 50mph speed limits respectively on Bath Road and accord with DMRB guidance. In practice visibility to 160m would in any event be provided to the left.

5.4 Parking

Car and Cycle Parking

5.4.1 Car and cycle parking for the development would be provided in accordance with the Wiltshire Council parking standards contained within the Local Transport Plan car and cycle parking strategies.

5.5 Traffic Flow Comparison

5.5.1 A comparison between the peak hour traffic for the permitted residential/employment uses on the site and the proposed residential/care home uses identifies a net reduction in the level of traffic that would be associated with the development site:

Vehicular Traffic Comparison (Vehicles two-way) Weekday Proposed Net Permitted Scheme Development Difference Morning Peak Hour 64 53 -11 Evening Peak Hour 67 57 -10

5.5.2 The review confirms that in each of the morning and evening peak hours the level of traffic associated with the site would be reduced by some 18% and 15% respectively. The proposed development would therefore have a net benefit on traffic and safety conditions on the local road network in the morning and evening peak hours compared with the permitted use of on the site.

5.5.3 Comparing the existing warehousing trip generation with the proposed development also identifies a net traffic benefit:

Vehicular Traffic Comparison (Vehicles two-way) Weekday Existing Proposed Net Warehousing Development Difference Morning Peak Hour 82 53 -29 Evening Peak Hour 59 57 -2

Proposed Mixed Residential Development, Colerne Industrial Park Page 15 Transport Assessment, August 2017

Peter Evans Partnership

5.5.4 The change in use on the site between the existing warehousing/storage and proposed residential scheme would significantly reduce HGV movements in and out of the site as well as travelling on the local roads. This is both a benefit to the local and wider road networks around Colerne.

5.6 Safety

5.6.1 One of the accidents recorded on Bath Road involved a pedestrian. The proposed development and associated off-site highway works with the provision of new footways and crossing points on Bath Road would improve safety conditions for pedestrians.

5.6.2 The other two accidents recorded occurred at different locations on Bath Road and there is no pattern to suggest remedial measures are required.

5.7 Servicing

5.7.1 Vehicle swept path analysis of the internal site access road would be undertaken at the detailed design stage and submitted as part of the reserved matters application on approval of the outline scheme. In any event the outline illustrative scheme would allow service vehicles to enter and leave the site in a forward gear.

5.8 Response to Highway Officer Comments

Wiltshire Council

5.8.1 The residual matters raised by the highway officer have also been addressed:

• the proposed site access is provided in the form of a simple priority junction. The level of development traffic and existing flows on Bath Road would not warrant the provision of a right turn lane or roundabout; • the visibility splays proposed are 2.4m x 160m which complies with DMRB requirements for a 50mph road; • the proposed development would not give rise to an intensification in vehicular traffic when compared to the existing use of the site and the consented schemes. The proposal would therefore result in less impact in traffic capacity terms and potentially improve highway safety conditions. The change of use on the site would also significantly reduce HGV traffic on the local road network; • development traffic travelling east to the junction of Bath Road and the A420 would not intensify and traffic would be reduce traffic. However, a traffic management proposal has been proposed for further discussions with the highway officer; • sustainable transport measures including the pedestrian links to existing footways and bus stops and cycle parking are proposed as part of the development as well as the provision of a public transport contribution; and

Proposed Mixed Residential Development, Colerne Industrial Park Page 16 Transport Assessment, August 2017

Peter Evans Partnership

• ongoing discussions with the highway officer would be undertaken regarding the public transport contribution to enhance the existing public transport services within the local area.

Bath and North East Somerset

5.8.2 Bath and North East Somerset Council is a neighbouring Authority in the planning consultation process and under the previous application on the site made comments in connection with traffic impact, distribution and construction traffic which have also been addressed:

• concerns were raised relating to traffic impact particularly in connection with the existing Bannerdown Road/London Road East roundabout located some 6km southwest of the application site. It is predicted that only 28% of residential and 37% of employment vehicular trips would be made to the west from the development site, which in this instance would be a maximum of 15 two-way vehicle movements. This equates to a vehicle movement every 4-5minutes and would not result in a material impact in capacity terms; • the current site use has a B8 commercial use which could generate more traffic than the proposed residential scheme and therefore in planning terms there would be a net reduction in traffic from the site, including at Bannerdown roundabout. The residential scheme would also significantly reduce HGV movements on the local road network; and • the construction phase of the development, which would sit outside of the planning process is typically dealt with by a suitably worded condition requiring the provision of Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP).

5.9 Policy Appraisal

5.9.1 NPPF aims to encourage growth and promote sustainable development by promoting mixed land uses and reducing the overall need to travel. In particular NPPF aims to encourage growth in rural areas to create jobs and prosperity by taking a positive approach to sustainable new development both through conversion of existing buildings and well designed new buildings.

5.9.2 The sustainable travel measures proposed, including the provision of cycle parking on site and footway improvements on Bath Road, would provide a benefit to both existing and future residents in the local area. These measures to promote sustainable travel are consistent with NPPF. A bus contribution is proposed in agreement with the Highway Authority

5.9.3 The Wiltshire Local Plan and Draft Core Strategy encourage development on sites where the need to travel can be minimised and where appropriate use of more sustainable travel methods can be encouraged. The Structure Plan also encourages the re-use of developed land for economic purposes. The proposals for an element of employment use at the care home are consistent with these aims.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS

6.1 The site would be accessible on foot, by cycle and public transport, encouraging trips by non-car modes of travel.

6.2 The proposed site access has previously been agreed with the Highway Authority and would be satisfactory to serve the levels of traffic and types of vehicle using it.

6.3 The proposed residential/care home development would have a net traffic benefit in the peak hours compared with the permitted residential/employment uses.

6.4 The provision of a residential development would significantly reduce HGV movements on the local road network which is a significant highway safety benefit.

6.5 The car and cycle parking provision would be provided in accordance with guidance provided in the Wiltshire LTP3 parking and cycling strategies.

6.6 The highway works including new pedestrian footway and crossing points would improve local pedestrian and safety conditions and benefit both the development site and the existing users of the local highway network.

6.7 Swept path analysis for servicing of the site would be provided at the reserved matters stage to confirm that service vehicles can enter and leave the site in a forward gear.

6.8 The site is within an appropriate walking/cycling distance of local facilities such as bus stops, primary school and village shop.

6.9 The proposed development meets National and Local Policy and guidance and provides opportunities for sustainable transport modes and a suitable access to the site for all people/transportation modes with improvements to the surrounding local road network.
