1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

1.1.1 Asbri Transport Ltd have been instructed by Tai Tarian Ltd to produce a Transport Statement in support of a planning application for the proposed refurbishment of 72 existing two bed flats and the construction of up to 55 one and two bed flats located at Bevin Avenue, Port Talbot.

1.1.2 The site is located in the Sandfields residential area of Port Talbot near Aberavon sea-front, where there are a number of leisure, school, retail and other land uses located nearby.

1.1.3 Subject to the grant of planning permission the additional 55 flats proposed would bring the total number of dwellings at the site to 127. Further detail on the mix of development is provided in Section 3 of this Transport Statement.

1.1.4 The development is proposed to be accompanied by a total of 93 car parking spaces and for reasons detailed later in this report this quantum is considered more than sufficient to meet forecast levels of parking demand. Parking may be provided in accordance with the adopted parking standards for the new apartments proposed in the planning application.

1.2 Purpose of the report

1.2.1 The purpose of this transport statement is to detail the likely transport characteristics of the proposed development and identify the potential impact of the development proposals on the surrounding transport network.

1.3 Scoping Dialogue with Highway Authority.

1.3.1 During the period February – March 2020 a number of informal scoping discussions took place with officers of the Highway Authority. These predominantly focused on parking matters in terms of the quantum of parking spaces that are to be provided for the development.

1.3.2 Parking matters are discussed in detail in Section 3.

Asbri Transport 1

1.3.3 A formal pre-application response to slightly different development proposals was issued by the Local Planning Authority in July 2019. This has informed the content of the Transport Statement.

1.3.4 The pre-application response is included in full at Appendix A.

1.4 Structure of the report

1.4.1 Following this introductory chapter, the report is structured as follows:

• Section 2 describes the existing transport conditions surrounding the development and reviews personal injury collision data for the study area

• Section 3 details the sustainable accessibility of the proposed development site

• Section 4 outlines the development proposals

• Section 5 considers the likely vehicle demand generated by the proposed development

• Section 6 provides the conclusions of the report

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS

2.1 Site location

2.1.1 The site is located to the north-east of Aberavon Beach within the Sandfields area of Port Talbot.

2.1.2 The Sandfields area of Port Talbot is a densely populated residential area consisting of a mixture of both private and social housing. To the north, the site is bounded by Dalton Road, to the north-east by Moorland Road, to the south and west by Bevin Avenue.

2.1.3 The exact location of the site is detailed in Figure 2.1.

Figure 2.1: Site location

2.2 Local highway network

Bevin Avenue

2.2.1 At its north-western end Bevin Avenue forms the minor arm of a simple priority junction with Dalton Road. Bevin Avenue initially forms a two-way single carriageway residential access road that provides access to the rear of the existing flats at the proposed development site. At its south-eastern end the road becomes one-way loop in a clock-wise direction around a large, raised island and is signed accordingly.

Asbri Transport 3

2.2.2 Double yellow lines are in place along the northern carriageway of its length preventing parking at any time, however, parking is permitted on the southern side of the carriageway. Loading activities are also prohibited on the northern side of Bevin Avenue ‘At any time.’

2.2.3 These parking and loading restrictions extend for most of the northern side of road’s length but there is a section of uncontrolled highway on the southern side of the carriageway to the south of the one-way section described above. Parking and loading restrictions are present on both sides of the carriageway at the southern spur of Bevin avenue.

2.2.4 Footways and street lighting are present along both sides of the carriageway. At the south-eastern end of Bevin Avenue the road terminates in a turning head and there is no vehicular access to the nearby access road to the Cinema complex.

Moorland Road

2.2.5 Moorland Road forms a two-way single carriageway providing access to a number of residential properties and side roads. Footways and street lighting are provided along both sides of the carriageway. The road also provides vehicular access to the application site.

2.2.6 Dropped kerbs and tactile paving are provided at several points along Moorland Road. Bus stops are also located along both sides of the carriageway providing east and west bound services. A shelter is provided for east bound services.

2.2.7 There are no parking restrictions in place along Moorland Road within the vicinity of the site and the road is subject to a 30mph speed limit. At its western end, Moorland Road forms a priority junction with Dalton Road.

2.2.8 There is an informal pedestrian crossing point with dropped kerbs and tactile paving at the bus stops located by the Red Dragon Public House.

Asbri Transport 4

Dalton Road

2.2.9 Dalton Road forms the northern arm of a large 5 -arm roundabout junction at the northern end of Princess Margaret Way. The road follows a north-easterly alignment from this junction linking with the Port Talbot’s Peripheral Distributer Road by way of another large roundabout junction approximately 940m to the north-east. Both Moorland Road and Bevin Avenue form priority junctions with Dalton Road, providing access to the eastern sector of Sandfields residential estate.

2.2.10 At its southern end, there is a parade of shops which include a convenience store and food take-aways. There is also a large Public House located adjacent to the roundabout junction.

2.2.11 The road has a 20-mph speed limit with footways for pedestrian usage and street lighting either side. The road is traffic-calmed by the presence of speed cushions and carriageway throttling’s. There are demarcated pedestrian crossing points along its length which have dropped kerbs and tactile paving present

2.2.12 There is a raised zebra pedestrian crossing with tactile paving located in the vicinity of the Seaside Social and Labour Club. The road is a bus route with a number of stops along its length.

2.2.13 Dalton Road provides access to the peripheral distributor road which traverses Port Talbot in a broadly parallel alignment to the M4 motorway. It is also a local distributer road providing access to the Sandfields residential area and Aberavon sea-front.

Princess Margaret Way

2.2.14 Princess Margaret Way is a wide two-way single carriageway road of approximate width of 9.8 metres (including the central reservation). The opposing carriageways are separated by a raised concrete central reservation.

2.2.15 The road operates as a local distributor road that follows a parallel alignment to Aberavon Beach. It is subject to a mandatory 20mph speed limit. It provides direct access to a number of land uses along its length, including a Hotel, restaurants, a leisure complex and multi-screen cinema.

Asbri Transport 5

2.2.16 It connects via a roundabout junction with Victoria Road to the east and with Dalton Road via a large roundabout junction to the west. Parking is permitted along the length of the road in a series of demarcated lay-bys, with footways for pedestrian movement and street lighting present. Some of the parking bays along the road are restricted to a 2-hour maximum stay.

2.2.17 There are three zebra pedestrian crossings located on the road between its junctions with Dalton Road and Victoria Road respectively. These provide safe pedestrian crossing opportunities to access Aberavon sea-front.

2.3 Highway Safety

2.3.1 This section of the report reviews personal injury collision (PIC) data obtained from Crashmap for the most recent five-year period (2014-2018). The location and severity of the collisions within the study area are shown in Figure 2.2.

2.3.2 Table 2.1 summarises the collision data. Appendix A provides further detail surrounding each of the collisions within the study area.

No. of casualties Vehicles Year Casualties Fatal Serious Slight involved 2014 0 1 0 1 2 2015 0 0 2 2 2 2016 0 1 1 2 4 2017 0 0 0 0 0 2018 0 0 1 1 2 Total 0 2 4 6 10 Table 2.1: Summary of PIC data

2.3.3 It is evident from Table 2.1 that there has been a total of 6 collisions, resulting in a total of 6 casualties, within the study area for the 5 year period identified. Of the 6 collisions identified, two collisions have resulted in casualties sustaining serious injuries. It should be noted that no fatalities have occurred within the study area for the period 2014-2018.

Table 2.2: Summary of bus timetable

2.4.4 A range of destinations are accessible by bus from the supplication site. Direct services to Port Talbot town centre and Swansea City Centre are available. Interchange services are also available from Port Talbot and Swansea, extending the range of destinations available.

2.5 Rail

2.5.1 Port Talbot Parkway Railway station is located approximately 2.5 km to the north – east of the application site, near the town centre. The station is located on the Swansea to London Paddington line providing frequent inter-city services to Swansea and Neath to the west and, Bridgend and Cardiff to the east and onwards to London Paddington.

2.5.2 Local services are also provided by Transport for Wales and these provide access to inter-mediate railway stations that are not served by the inter-city service between Swansea and London Paddington.

2.5.3 A public transport hub is located in the immediate vicinity of the Railway Station providing inter-change with bus services and taxi services.

Asbri Transport 8

2.6 Active Travel - Pedestrians and cyclists

Pedestrians

2.6.1 Pedestrian infrastructure provision in the vicinity of the application site is of a good standard. As mentioned previously, a Zebra crossing is located approximately 225m to the north of the application site along Dalton Road.

2.6.2 There are also a number of zebra crossings on Princess Margaret Way with 2 separate zebra crossings located within less than a 300m walk from the centre of the site.

2.6.3 In immediate proximity of the site there is a pedestrian foot-path link to the south of Bevin Avenue that provides a connection to the Burger King and Indian Restaurant and onwards to Aberavon sea-front.

2.6.4 A zebra crossing is also provided in the location shown in Figure 2.3 below. It is noted that the crossing’s carriageway markings are in need of renewal.

Figure 2.3: Zebra crossing to rear of Burger King and immediately south-west of Bevin Avenue.

Asbri Transport 9

2.6.5 The site is located within a densely populated residential area of Port Talbot, with established pedestrian routes and footway provision along both sides of the carriageway on the majority of roads surrounding the site. It is envisaged that a number of residents at the proposed site will walk to local facilities and children on school age may walk or cycle to nearby schools.

2.6.6 Local roads such as Moorland Road, Sunnybank Road and Bevin Avenue are lightly trafficked thus allowing pedestrians to cross them unhindered.

2.6.7 It is noted that the priority junctions of Moorland Road and Bevin Ave with Dalton Road do not have dropped kerbs and tactile paving on the minor arms. It is considered that such provision would improve local pedestrian movement.

Cyclists

2.6.8 Cycling as a mode of travel is ever increasing given the growing trend of recreational cycling, and is seen as a key travel mode for mode shift away from the car. There are several formal cycle routes running within the vicinity of the site, shown in Figure 2.4 below.

Figure 2.4: Active travel routes

2.6.9 NCN Route 887 of the National Cycle Network runs along the south-western boundary of the site. Route 887 provides a link between the towns of Port Talbot, Cwmafan, Pontrhydyfen, connecting local people to shops, schools and workplaces. The route then continues onto Afan Forest Park.

Asbri Transport 10

2.6.10 NCN Route 4 runs to the north of the application site and forms a long-distance route between London and Fishguard via Reading, Bath, Bristol, Newport, Swansea, Carmarthen, Tenby, Haverfordwest and St. Davids. Route 4 provides a link to Port Talbot Parkway Railway Station.

2.6.11 NCN Route 887 links to NCN Route 4 to the north. There are also several local cycle routes to the north and north east of the application site.

2.7 Accessibility

2.7.1 There are a number of publications which suggest guidance for appropriate walking and cycling distances to facilities. For reference, a number of quotes from relevant documents have been summarised as follows.

• Walking as a mode of travel predominates for journeys of less than two miles whilst cycling is more convenient for longer journeys, typically of up to five miles for regular journeys. (Paragraph 4.1.4, Active Travel Design Act, Welsh Government) • Two miles is ‘a distance that could easily be walked by the majority of people’ (Paragraph 2.2, TA91/05 Provision for Non-motorised Users, DfT) • Walking is used to access a wide variety of destinations including places of work, normally within a range of up to 2 miles (Paragraph 2.3, TA91/05 Provision for Non-motorised Users, DfT) • Cycling is used for accessing a variety of different destinations, including places of work, up to a range of around 5 miles. Cycling is also undertaken as a leisure activity, often over much longer distances (Paragraph 2.11, TA91/05, DfT) • 80% of journeys shorter than 1 mile (1.6km) are made wholly on foot (Section 2.1, Planning for Walking, CIHT). • Five miles is a distance that could easily be cycled by the majority of people (Paragraph 2.9, TA91/05, DfT) • for commuter journeys, a trip distance of over five miles is not uncommon and Novice and occasional leisure cyclists will cycle longer distances where the cycle ride is the primary purpose of their journey. A round trip on a waymarked leisure route could easily involve distances of 20 to 30 miles.

Asbri Transport 11

Experienced cyclists will often be prepared to cycle longer distances for whatever journey purpose (Paragraph 1.5.1, LTN02/08, DfT)

2.7.2 Therefore, for the purposes of this TS, journeys of up to 3.2km have been considered as a reasonable and appropriate distance.

2.7.3 The local facilities and amenities as set out in Table 2.3 have therefore been identified to be within appropriate walking and cycling distance from the site.

2.7.4 The walking and cycling times have been calculated based on 80 metres per minute (4.8kph) as set out in the CIHT guidance document ‘Providing for Journeys on Foot’ and the 320 (12mph) metres per minute (cycling) based on DfT guidance set out in LTN2/08.

3.0 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS

3.1 Introduction

3.1.1 As outlined in Section 1, it is proposed to refurbish 72 existing residential flats which are currently dispersed over 6 blocks. The blocks all run perpendicular to both Moorland Road and Bevin Avenue.

3.1.2 It is proposed to construct an additional 54 one-bedroom and one two-bedroom flats at the site. It is envisaged that each existing block will house between 3 and 21 new flats with some infill between blocks and new end blocks being constructed.

3.1.3 The proposed site layout is included at Appendix B.

3.1.4 It is envisaged that the proposed new flats will be 100% affordable and will be of social rented tenure. The proposed development will result in a total of 127 apartments.

3.1.5 A schedule of the accommodation detailing existing and proposed, new units is provided below:

Table 3.1: Schedule of existing and proposed accommodation.

3.1.6 Walking and cycling will be promoted as a primary mode of transport for the residents of the new development. Secure covered cycle storage facilities will be provided within the site for the exclusive use of the residents.

Asbri Transport 13

3.1.7 A Travel Plan encouraging and facilitating sustainable and active travel accompanies the planning application submission. This details extensive measures to encourage sustainable travel and also to monitor travel choices by residents of the proposed development.

3.2 Vehicular access

3.2.1 A number of vehicular access points currently serve the development via Moorland Road. It is proposed to provide one further vehicular access points to the site from Bevin Avenue. This will serve parking provision of 28 spaces. In addition eight parking spaces will be accessed from Bevin Avenue directly.

3.2.2 The required visibility splays of 2.4m x 25m can be achieved at all of the proposed vehicular access points and these can be accommodated within land owned by the applicant/highway authority.

3.2.3 Appendix C details the visibility splays at all proposed access junctions.

3.2.4 It is envisaged that kerb-side refuse collection will take place at the site, with bin stores located within the carry distance of 30m for residents and within a distance of 25m by which a refuse collection vehicle can obtain access as referenced by Manual for Streets, (2007).

3.2.5 The refuse storage locations are shown on the masterplan included as Appendix B.

3.3 Existing Car Parking

3.3.1 Currently, the existing car parking which serves the existing 72 residential flats is very informal in nature. The parking provision is accessed via service roads from Moorland Road between Blocks 1 & 2, 3 & 4 and 5 & 6 if counting from Block 1 that abuts Dalton Road.

3.3.2 Parking spaces are not demarcated at the site with vehicles parallel parking on either side of the service roads and at other locations within proximity of the blocks.

Asbri Transport 14

3.3.3 A recent car parking and travel behaviour survey was undertaken at all occupied flats in 2019. The survey received an excellent response rate of 67% with 42 surveys completed and returned out of the 63 distributed.

3.3.4 The survey responses demonstrated that only 33% (14) of existing tenants who responded to the survey own a car, and as such this is commensurate with the low demand for car parking that has been observed at the site

3.3.5 The survey also questioned respondents on their main mode of travel for trips to and from the home. There was a strong correlation with car ownership and car travel with 33% of the respondents stating that their main mode of travel was car.

3.4 Proposed car parking provision

3.4.1 On-site parking provision for the development is proposed in the context of the adopted parking standards of the Highway Authority and Local Planning Authority, published in the Supplementary Planning Guidance dated October 2016.

3.4.2 It is proposed that all resident spaces will be provided within the curtilage of the site predominantly by way of parking court-yards located immediately adjacent to the proposed apartment blocks. All visitor bays will also be provided within the curtilage of the development and will be demarcated accordingly.

3.4.3 Based on the adopted standards, Table 4.1 below outlines the maximum number of parking spaces that could be provided as per the Neath Port Talbot Parking Guidelines (2016).

3.4.4 Table 4.1 below outlines the proposed car parking numbers for the proposed 55 new flats with reference to NPTs Car Parking Standards SPG.

Required no. Sustainability Proposed Flats Parking Standard of spaces reduction no. of spaces 54 x 1 bed 1 space per bedroom 54 54 54 1 x 2 bed 1 space per bedroom 2 1 1 Visitor 1 space per 5 units 11 11 11 Total overall provision 67 66 66 Table 4.1 Proposed car parking provision for 71 new flats

Asbri Transport 15

3.4.5 As indicated in Table 4.1, the proposed 55 new residential flats require 66 car parking spaces, taking into account a reduction of 1 space per bedroom for the one proposed two-bedroom flat as permitted by the sustainability reduction and the requirement for 1 visitor parking space per 5 flats.

3.4.6 A sustainability assessment has been undertaken in accordance with Appendix F of the adopted parking standards.

3.4.7 The site scores 7 sustainability points thereby allowing a nominal reduction of 1 parking space for the single new-build two-bedroom flat. It is reasonable to assume that those who are able to do so will walk or cycle to local facilities and amenities and even employment within the local area.

3.4.8 The site as a whole will be provided with 93 car parking spaces. This level of car parking provision is considered an improvement on the existing level of provision and provides a level of parking for the proposed new flats in accordance with that permitted under the adopted parking standards.

3.4.9 The proposed car parking provision and layout is shown on the Masterplan included at Appendix B.

3.4.10 Due to the existing low level of car ownership displayed by the existing residents at the site, it is not expected that the proportion of car ownership will increase significantly post-development.

3.4.11 The planning application proposes 93 parking spaces in total which provides parking at a 1:1 ratio for all of the proposed 55 new flats and a further 11 visitor parking spaces.

3.4.12 This leaves a residual of 27 parking spaces which based on the car ownership survey, on-site observations are sufficient to meet existing levels of parking demand.

3.4.13 As detailed in section 2 Bevin Avenue is subject to both waiting and loading restrictions initially on the northern (site) edge of the carriageway and then on both sides at its south-eastern end. These restrictions prohibit both parking and loading ‘at any time’ and would significantly reduce any propensity for parking on the carriageway.

Asbri Transport 16

Cycle parking

3.4.14 Cycle parking at the proposed development will be provided in accordance with NPTCBC ‘Parking Standards’ contained within the Supplementary Planning Guidance (October 2016), within the Local Development Plan.

3.4.15 Note D.6 of the cycle parking standards states: ‘All residential developments must be accessible by cycles and cycle storage must be a factor of dwelling design. In appropriate circumstances, convenient communal facilities may be provided.

3.4.16 Secure free-standing cycle parking units are to be provided in a several locations across the site and in the vicinity of each respective apartment block.

3.5 Conclusion to Car Parking

3.5.1 Parking demand at the existing development of 72 flats is known to be low and commensurate with resident’s car ownership levels as surveyed in 2019. The survey detailed that only 1 in 3 households were car users.

3.5.2 It is not expected that car ownership levels for the new flats will differ significantly from those of the existing flats. Parking can be provided at a ratio of 1:1 for the new apartments including the requisite level of visitor bays in accordance with the adopted parking standards.

3.5.3 It is considered that the parking provision proposed is compliant with the adopted parking standards.

3.6 Refuse Collection strategy.

3.6.1 Bin store locations are shown on the development site layout provided at Appendix B. All refuse will be collected from the bin stores located adjacent to the public highway.

Asbri Transport 17

4.0 TRAVEL CHARACTERISTICS

4.1 Introduction

4.1.1 This section of the report outlines the likely volumes of traffic generated by the proposed (residential) use and identifies the likely impact of the proposals on the surrounding network.

4.1.2 As detailed in the preceding section of the report, the planning application seeks permission for the development of 55 new residential dwellings, all of which are to be apartments.

4.2 Trip generation

Proposed Residential

4.2.1 The vehicle trip generation rates have been obtained from the current TRICS 7.7.1 trip generation database.

4.2.2 The use of these vehicle trip generation rates has been agreed with officers of the Highway Authority in pre-application scoping discussions.

4.2.3 Sites were selected on the basis of the following criteria:

Houses

• Land use: Residential – Affordable/Local Authority Flats;

• Survey days: Monday-Friday;

• Number of units: 16 -147 units; and,

• Location of development: UK, excluding Greater London, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.

4.2.4 The peak hour vehicle arrival/departure profiles are set out in Appendix D and summarised in Table 5.1 below.

Asbri Transport 18

Peak Trip rates Vehicles period Arrive Depart Total Arrive Depart Total

Daily 1.159 1.135 2.294 64 62 126 Table 5.1: Vehicle trip generation – proposed 55 dwellings

4.2.5 It is evident from Table 5.1 that, in total, based on 55 new residential units could generate up to 10 vehicle movements (two-way) in the AM peak period and 15 vehicle movements (two-way) in the PM peak period.

Asbri Transport 19

5.0 IMPACT OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS

5.1 Introduction

5.1.1 This section of the report identifies the impact of the development proposals on the surrounding highway network.

5.2 Potential impact

Vehicular impact

5.2.1 It is envisaged that the proposed development with have a marginal impact on the local highway network during the AM and PM peak hour periods, or throughout the course of the day.

5.2.2 As set out in the previous section, it is estimated that the proposed net gain in residential development could generate up to 10 vehicle movements (two-way) in the AM peak and 15 vehicle movements (two-way) in the PM peak period, equating to 1 vehicle movement (two-way) every 4- 6 minutes if the trip generation profile was uniform over the a.m. and p.m. peak hours.

5.2.3 As such, it is considered that this level of traffic generation will have a marginal impact on the performance of Bevin Avenue and Moorland Road and the wider classified road network.

5.2.4 Therefore, no further junction or capacity analysis has been undertaken.

6.0 CONCLUSION

6.1 Summary

6.1.1 Asbri Transport Ltd are instructed by Tai Tarian Ltd to produce a Transport Statement in support of a planning application for the proposed refurbishment development of 72 existing two bed flats and the construction of up to 55 one and two bed flats located at Bevin Avenue, near Aberavon sea-front, Port Talbot.

6.1.2 The additional 55 flats proposed would increase the total number of dwellings at the site to 127. The development is proposed to be accompanied by a total of 93 car parking spaces.

6.1.3 The site as a whole will be provided with 93 car parking spaces. This level of car parking provision is considered to result in an improvement on the existing level of provision for the existing flats.

6.1.4 It also provides a level of parking for the proposed new flats in accordance with that permitted under the adopted parking standards at a ratio of 1 space per residential dwelling.

6.1.5 The proposed 55 new residential units, could generate up to 10 vehicle movements (two-way) in the AM peak period and 15 vehicle movements (two- way) in the PM peak period.

6.1.6 The travel demand of the existing flats is already present on the local highway, and public transport networks.

6.2 Conclusion

6.2.1 In conclusion, it is considered that this development is appropriate and acceptable in traffic and transport terms. It is considered that the traffic movements associated with the development proposals will be marginal.

6.2.2 As such, the development proposals could be accommodated on the highway network and will not have a detrimental impact on the free flow of traffic due to the existing volumes of traffic using the local highway network and the low level of traffic generation forecast.

Asbri Transport 21

6.2.3 The site is located in a highly sustainable site, within 400m of local schools, public transport provision and as well as nearby retail offerings provided on Dalton Road.

6.2.4 It is also concluded that the proposed level of parking provision is compliant with guidance contained in Planning Policy Wales (Edition 10) and in compliance with the adopted parking standards of the Local Planning Authority.

All of the above SPG can be viewed on the Council’s website.

Analysis of Proposal

Principle of Development

It is noted that the application site is located within the settlement limits defined by Policy SC1 of the LDP. As such, the principle of the development would be generally acceptable, subject to compliance with all other relevant LDP policies.

Design

It is acknowledged that the existing blocks are of low quality design and are in urgent need of upgrading/enhancing. The Local Planning Authority therefore welcomes the principle of the proposed works, which would be a visual improvement over the current situation. However, there are a number of comments below in respect of the design and heights:

 5 storeys would be considered the most appropriate maximum height for the overall proposal given the heights of the surrounding neighbouring properties and other larger properties along the seafront.  4 storeys would be considered the maximum height for the development on the Moorland Road end. However, the proposed properties should have the same overall height as the existing buildings (which are 3 storeys with a large roof area). These should be clearly illustrated on any submitted planning drawings.  The visual appearance of the development should be enhanced as the elevations are generally quite bland in appearance. Such enhancements could include ‘dummy’ balconies or full balconies (subject to any potential overlooking issues).  Consideration should be given to ‘stepping in’ the walls as the storey height increases, to potentially lessen any visual impacts and perception of massing.  Consideration should be given to ‘balancing’ the materials (brick, render and timber) to ensure that the timber element is not ‘top heavy’.  There are potential concerns with the weathering of external materials due to the coastal location - particularly the K-rend and potentially the timber cladding. Consideration should therefore be given for this when deciding upon your materials palette.

Highway Safety and Parking

The Head of Engineering and Transport (Highways Section) has assessed the submitted scheme, including that of the ‘wider’ future development, and offers the following comments:

 Consideration should be given on the wider scheme (i.e. the current proposal and the potential future development on the submitted plans) for a secondary access or link as a maximum of 50 properties is normally permitted off a cul de sac. The provision of this link may affect any provision of open space etc. on this scheme.  There will be a requirement to amend the existing Traffic Regulations Orders along Bevin Avenue, the cost of which will need to be met by the developer.  Parking scheme for the proposal. You are advised that a comparison (e.g. table) should be provided in support of any planning application illustrating the existing parking provision against the Parking SPG requirements and the proposed parking in line with the SPG to try

and demonstrate there is a ‘betterment’ over the existing situation. You are also advised to use the sustainability toolkit detailed in the SPG.  Consideration should be given to Active Travel links.  On the wider scheme traffic calming measures (e.g. speed ramps) would be required for any unrestricted length of highway over 60m.  No windows or doors should open out over the Public Highway.  On the wider scheme there will be a requirement for turning heads for refuse vehicles etc.  Consideration should be given to bin storage, cycle and motorcycle parking - all of which will be required as part of your proposal.

Environmental Health

The Environmental Health Officer notes that there are no noise or nuisance concerns. However, there are potential concerns with the construction phase. As such, they would be likely to restrict working hours and there would be a requirement for a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) including piling statement and dust management plan as there are surrounding residential properties, and it is a windy coastal location.

Biodiversity

The Biodiversity Officer has looked at the submitted information and has confirmed that there would be no likely issues from their perspective.

In addition to the above, you are encouraged to contact Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) to seek further pre-application advice – see note below for details of their pre-application services.

Sustainable Drainage – Statutory Requirements w.e.f January 2019

Please note that from 7th January 2019, all new developments of more than 1 house or where the construction area is of 100m2 or more will require sustainable drainage - built in accordance with mandatory standards for sustainable drainage published by Welsh Ministers - to manage on-site surface water. More information is available in Schedule 3 of the Flood & Water Management Act 2010.

These systems must be approved by the Council’s Engineering Service acting in its SuDS Approving Body (SAB) role before construction work begins. In this respect it is essential that a developer of any such project gain SAB approval of its surface water drainage alongside any relevant planning permission. You will not be allowed to start construction until both permissions have been approved.

If you have not done so already, and your development would not fall into any of the relevant exceptions1, you are therefore strongly encouraged to request further advice from the SAB.

1 Exceptions and exemptions, in summary, relate to:-  Existing sites and developments with planning permission granted or deemed to be granted (whether or not subject to any conditions as to a reserved matter) or for which a valid application has been received but not determined by 7 January 2019. However, SAB approval will still be required if the planning permission was granted subject to a condition as to a reserved matter and an application for approval of the reserved matter is not made before 7 January 2020.

Involving the SAB Officers in pre-application discussions will allow for SuDS drainage matters (to ensure suitability of proposed SuDs design in line with national standards and adequate site layout) to be considered alongside the assessment of planning merits. There is an additional charge of £250 for this service. This can be as part of any agreed further pre-application submissions with the Planning Authority (recommended) or independently/ direct with the SAB. You are advised, however, that failing to engage in joint pre-application discussions has the potential to lead to delays and, most notably, the potential need to obtain further planning permission should any agreed SuDS design not be compliant with any relevant planning permission. Further details are available at www.npt.gov.uk/planning.

Major Developments

Please be aware that as a ‘major’ development there is now a statutory requirement (introduced by s17 of the Planning (Wales) Act 2015) for the applicant / developer to consult the community and relevant statutory consultees in advance of formal submission of an application.

Please note that a major application cannot be validated until such consultation is undertaken and a Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) Report submitted with the application.

Detailed advice on Pre-application Consultation can be found on the Welsh Government website.

Section 106 Planning Obligations (if applicable)

The Council’s approved Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) provides the local policy basis for seeking planning obligations through Section 106 Agreements in Neath Port Talbot. The Council’s approved SPG is also available to view/ download at www.npt.gov.uk/planning.

Following consideration of the proposed development and potential impacts and needs arising from the development, I would advise that the Council is likely to seek planning obligations covering the following: -

 Affordable Housing:

Policy AH1 requires affordable housing contributions from all qualifying new housing developments. The proposed scheme is understood to be for 100% affordable housing by Tai Tarian, and therefore would not require any developer contributions towards affordable housing. If the proposed scheme were to change and be developed for sale on the open market, a 25% of units contribution would be required in accordance with Policy AH1. A suitably worded condition would therefore need to be imposed on any planning permission issued to this effect.

 Public Open Space

It is noted that the site lies within the Sandfields East ward, where the Open Space Assessment identifies ward shortfalls in all categories of open space, with the exception of informal open space. The spatial area has a shortfall of allotment provision. The development proposal (71 additional units) would have the following open space requirements:

Pitch Sport – 1870sqm Non-Pitch Sport – 732sqm Children’s Play – 97sqm (excluding 1 bedroom units) Informal – 894sqm Allotments – 309sqm

It is noted that the site plan illustrates a potential play area between 2 of the blocks. In order to meet the requirements for children’s play 97sqm is required (which does not include the buffer around the play space). I understand that the play areas/informal areas are subject to change following the Design Commission review, but note that it appears to be in very close proximity to the dwelling units. I would refer you to the information contained in the adopted Open space and Greenspace SPG - particularly Appendix G which provides guidance on the standards for different types of children’s play areas, and Chapter 5 which offers practical guidance. Once you have revised your designs in respect of the play areas you may wish to send those through for further comments.

The S106 contributions for open space (in lieu of on-site provision) for the new dwellings are therefore calculated as follows:

Pitch Sport – £20,164 Non-Pitch Sport – £73,130 Children’s Play – £14,535* Informal - £0 Allotments – £3,408 TOTAL – £111,237

* Please note that this figure does not take into account any potential for on-site provision. If the full provision can be made on site there would be no requirement for a financial contribution for this particular element. If a smaller area is to be provided on-site then this figure could be reduced to reflect the on-site provision accordingly.

Further discussion on such matters can, of course, be entered into at the time of an application, or as part of any agreed further pre-application submissions.

Required Supporting Documentation

We would encourage you to submit your application electronically via www.gov.wales/planningapplications.

Having regard to the nature of your proposal, it is considered at this stage that in addition to the submission of standard mandatory supporting documentation such as application forms, plans and fee, any application for the above development should also be accompanied by the following additional documentation: -

 Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) Report (‘Major’ development).  Design and Access Statement (see TAN 12 Design, Appendix 1).  Contaminated Land Desk-top Assessment.  Energy Assessment (to comply with Policy RE2).  Waste Management Plan (to comply with Policy W3).  CEMP including piling and dust management.

If any subsequent application fails to include the information above, there is a chance it may not be registered and, in any event, it is likely that an application will either be refused or will not be able to be progressed until its satisfactory submission.

It is also this Authority’s practice to recommend to applicants that detailed information is submitted at application stage to ensure that, in the event of planning permission being granted, that ‘pre-commencement’ conditions (which require approval of details prior to work starting on site) can be minimised. You are therefore encouraged to ensure that your initial submissions incorporate as much information as possible (for example materials, boundary treatment, ecology mitigation, Construction Management Plan, Travel Plan etc.), and address all matters raised in the advice given above.

Detailed guidance on the use of the national standard application form for planning permission and other associated consent regimes; and the information which must accompany a planning application so that the local planning authority can determine the validity of the application, can be found as follows: -

“Guidance on the use of the standard application form ('1app') and validation of applications”: http://wales.gov.uk/topics/planning/policy/guidanceandleaflets/1appguidance

The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure)(Wales) Order 2012: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/wsi/2012/801/contents/made (original Order). (Note subsequent Amendment Orders: 2014 ; 2015 ; 2016 ; and 2017).

How we will deal with your planning application

As part of its emphasis on ‘Delivering Quality Development Quickly’, the Planning department prides itself on the service it offers our customers. Once your application has been received, this will include an allocated case officer making contact with you or your appointed agent within the first week and arranging a visit, following which we will contact you by phone or email to advise of any discrepancies with your application. We will also work with you to address any outstanding concerns, including any amendments required to make your proposal acceptable.

Once we are happy with the validity of your application, we will formally consult neighbours and relevant consultees. Provided there are no significant matters of concern resulting from such consultations, we will then seek to determine your application as swiftly as possible after the expiry of the statutory publicity period, and aim to do so within the 8 week statutory period.

While Officers will endeavour to ensure you are aware of the progress of your application, we would encourage you to contact the case officer should you wish to discuss any matter further.

Development Team Approach – Building Control

The Development Management and Building Control teams work closely to assist developers in improving the quality of their development and ensuring compliance with all appropriate conditions and Regulations. In particular, Building Control provide a competitive and highly professional service and seek to actively engage with developer’s at the earliest stage of their project. You are therefore encouraged to contact the Building Control team on 01639 686820 or

by emailing [email protected] to enter into early negotiations and understand the benefits of the Council’s Development Team approach.

Requests for Further Advice

Following receipt of this initial advice, should you wish to discuss your scheme prior to formal submission, please contact the case officer on the direct number or email address given above. Further charges may apply.

Yours faithfully

Russell Borthwick

Seeking Pre-Application Advice from External Consultees

Natural Resources Wales (NRW)

Natural Resources Wales has a key role in the planning system and you may wish to hold pre-application consultation with them, utilising their pre-application service, so that environmental considerations are identified and addressed at the earliest opportunity. More information about Natural Resources Wales’s pre-application service, including what advice can be sought for free, and what advice is subject to a fee can be found at: https://naturalresources.wales/guidance-and-advice/business-sectors/planning-and- development/advice-for-developers/our-service-to-developers/?lang=en

Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW)

Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water has a key role to play in the development and planning process as the services provided are at the forefront of public health and protection of the environment. Dŵr Cymru encourages all developers to engage with them as early as possible in order to address any issues that may arise during the planning/construction process.

To assist, Dŵr Cymru operates a pre-planning service in order to assess the impact of the proposed development. A written response will be provided advising whether the local network(s) can support the proposal, whether off-site water mains and/or sewers will need to be provided, and whether there are any apparatus located within the land you wish to develop and the requirements for these apparatus. This service is provided for a fee of £155+ VAT and can be submitted by post or by completing the online enquiry form at http://www.dwrcymru.com/en/Developer- Services. Further information can be obtained from the dedicated team of planning officers on 0800 917 2652.

Coal Authority

In line with many other statutory consultees, the Coal Authority no longer provides responses to pre-application enquiries without a charge. The Coal Authority therefore requests LPAs to direct applicants that are seeking pre- application advice regarding coal mining legacy issues because their site falls within the Development High Risk Area to them, so they may provide a quotation for providing advice.

Should only a small part of your site fall within the High Risk area, we would especially encourage you to engage with the Coal Authority, since they may advise in certain situations that a Coal Mining Risk Assessment is not required.

Further advice may be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/the-coal-authority

This section displays the trip rate results based on the selected set of surveys and the selected count type (shown just above the table). It is split by three main columns, representing arrivals trips, departures trips, and total trips (arrivals plus departures). Within each of these main columns are three sub-columns. These display the number of survey days where count data is included (per time period), the average value of the selected trip rate calculation parameter (per time period), and the trip rate result (per time period). Total trip rates (the sum of the column) are also displayed at the foot of the table.

To obtain a trip rate, the average (mean) trip rate parameter value (TRP) is first calculated for all selected survey days that have count data available for the stated time period. The average (mean) number of arrivals, departures or totals (whichever applies) is also calculated (COUNT) for all selected survey days that have count data available for the stated time period. Then, the average count is divided by the average trip rate parameter value, and multiplied by the stated calculation factor (shown just above the table and abbreviated here as FACT). So, the method is: COUNT/TRP*FACT. Trip rates are then rounded to 3 decimal places.
