1.1 Commission

Fore Consulting Limited (Fore) has been commissioned by Northshore Development Partnerships Limited (NSDP) to prepare a Transport Statement (TS) to be submitted with a forthcoming planning application for the development of Phase 5 of the Homezone at Northshore, Stockton.

1.2 Background to the Northshore Development

1.2.1 Northshore Development to Date

Outline Application for the Northshore Area

The Northshore area covers close to 56 acres and is a major mixed-use regeneration project, located on the north bank of the River Tees. In December 2008, NSDP submitted an outline planning application (application ref. 08/3644/EIS) for the following development:

Residential (Class C3), employment (Class B1), health care facility (Class D1), leisure (Class A3, A4, A5, C1 and D2), ancillary retail and services (Class A1 and A2) and car dealership (sui generis) with car parking and associated landscaping and infrastructure improvements.

Outline planning permission for the development was granted in August 2009.

Reserved Matters Applications

Subsequent to approval of the outline planning consent, the following applications for reserved matters have been approved:

• Homezone Phase 1 (application ref. 09/3072/REM) for 50 dwellings approved with conditions in March 2010. This is now fully built-out and occupied.

• Homezone Phase 2 (application ref. 12/1836/REM) for 76 two-three storey dwellings approved with conditions in September 2012. This is now fully built-out and occupied.

• 2,323sqm B1(a) of office use (application ref. 13/1133/REM) approved with conditions in July 2013. This is now occupied by Fusion Hive, an innovation centre providing accommodation for technology-based businesses.

2.5 Local Highway Network

The key roads in the vicinity of the site comprise the following:

• North Shore Road provides the primary vehicle access to the site, from the A1046 North Shore Link (forming the eastern section of the Riverside gyratory). It is single carriageway in character with a road width of 6.5m, and a speed limit of 30mph in operation. Double yellow line waiting restrictions are provided on both sides for the majority of the road. Footways are provided adjacent to the northern side of the road, with shared foot / cycleways adjacent to the southern side of the road.

• From the A1046 North Shore Link / North Shore Road junction, the A1046 runs west and forms part of the North Shore Gyratory. The North Shore Gyratory provides access from the site to Stockton town centre, with connections onto the A1305 towards the A66 to the south-west, and the A177 to the north-west. Further connections can be made onto the A1046 Church Road eastbound towards the Portrack Retail Park, and onto Council of Europe Boulevard over the River Tees towards Durham University Queen’s Campus.

• Marina Link provides vehicular access from a priority-controlled junction with North Shore Road to the development site as well as a private access to the riverside area. The carriageway is approximately 5.5m wide, with double yellow line waiting restrictions provided on both sides.

2.6 Road Safety

Personal injury accident data has been obtained from www.crashmap.co.uk for the highway network in close proximity to the site, for the most recently available five-year period between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2019.

This confirms that no accidents were recorded on North Shore Road in the immediate vicinity of the Phase 5 site, including the junctions with the A1046 North Shore Link or

Northshore Development Partnership Ltd 2275 ▪ Homezone Phase 5, Northshore, Stockton ▪ Transport Statement 28 May 2021 ▪ Version 1.0 ▪ Issue

Marina Way. 1 accident took place 120m east of the North Shore Road / Dugdale Street junction. Consequently, it is considered that there is no pattern of accidents in the vicinity of the site that indicates a specific site-related issue that would need to be addressed to safely accommodate the development.

2.7 Summary

The site is located on the edge of Stockton town centre and accessible directly off North Shore Road. It has been shown that a wide range of journeys to the site can be readily undertaken by sustainable transport modes, both within the town centre and beyond.

3 Transport and Planning Policy

The chapter identifies local and national transport policy relevant to the proposed development, and how the development proposals respond to and accord with these policies.

3.1 National Policy

3.1.1 National Planning Policy Framework

A revised ‘National Planning Policy Framework’ (NPPF)3 was published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in February 2019. It sets out national planning policy for England and in particular how the planning system is to contribute to achieving sustainable development through the following interdependent objectives:

• An economic objective, contributing to building a strong, responsive and competitive economy through ensuring that land of the right type is available in the right places and at the right time to support growth, innovation and improved productivity.

• A social role, supporting strong, vibrant and healthy communities by ensuring that a sufficient number and range of homes can be provided to meet the needs of present and future generations; and by fostering a well-designed and safe built environment, with accessible services and open spaces that reflect current and future needs and support communities’ health, social and cultural well-being.

• An environmental role, protecting and enhancing the natural, built and historic environment through making effective use of land, helping to improve biodiversity, using natural resources prudently, minimising waste and pollution, and mitigating and adapting to climate change.

The NPPF sets out a presumption in favour of sustainable development. This means that development proposals that accord with the development plan should be approved without delay. Where there are no relevant development plan polices or the most important polices for determining the application are out-of-date, permission should be granted unless policies in the NPPF provide a clear reason for refusing the development proposed, or any adverse impacts of approving a development would demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the NPPF as a whole.

Specifically, in relation to transport, the NPPF states that the planning system should manage patterns of growth to address potential impacts of development on transport

3 National Planning Policy Framework, Department of Communities and Local Government, 2019.

Northshore Development Partnership Ltd 2275 ▪ Homezone Phase 5, Northshore, Stockton ▪ Transport Statement 28 May 2021 ▪ Version 1.0 ▪ Issue

networks; realise opportunities from existing or proposed transport infrastructure and technology; promote walking, cycling and public transport; identify and assess the environmental impacts of traffic; and integrate transport consideration into the design of schemes.

In relation to considering development proposals, the NPPF states that all developments that generate significant amounts of movement should be supported by a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment to ensure the likely impacts of development are assessed.

Paragraph 108 of the NPPF states that:

“In assessing sites that may be allocated for development in plans, or specific applications for development, it should be ensured that:

• appropriate opportunities to promote sustainable transport modes can be – or have been - taken up depending on the type of development and its location;

• safe and suitable access to the site can be achieved for all users; and,

• any significant impacts from the development on the transport network (in terms of capacity and congestion), or on highway safety, can be cost effectively mitigated to an acceptable degree.”

Paragraph 109 states:

“Development should only be prevented or refused on highways grounds if there would be an unacceptable impact on highway safety, or the residual cumulative impacts on the road network would be severe.”

3.1.2 Planning Practice Guidance

Planning Practice Guidance (PPG)4 was published by the Department for Communities and Local Government on 6 March 2014. It brings together many areas of English planning guidance into a new stream-lined format, set within the overarching NPPF. PPG provides advice on when Transport Assessments and Transport Statements are required, and what they should contain:

“Transport Assessments are thorough assessments of the transport implications of development, and Transport Statements are a ‘lighter-touch’ evaluation to be used where

4 Planning Practice Guidance, Department of Communities and Local Government, 2014.

Northshore Development Partnership Ltd 2275 ▪ Homezone Phase 5, Northshore, Stockton ▪ Transport Statement 28 May 2021 ▪ Version 1.0 ▪ Issue

this would be more proportionate to the potential impact of the development (i.e. in the case of developments with anticipated limited transport impacts).”

Furthermore, it states that:

“Transport Assessments and Statements can be used to establish whether the residual transport impacts of a proposed development are likely to be “severe”, which may be a reason for refusal, in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.”

And:

“The Transport Assessment or Transport Statement may propose mitigation measures where these are necessary to avoid unacceptable or “severe” impacts.”

3.2 Local Policy

3.2.1 Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council Local Plan

The SBC Local Plan5 was adopted on 30 January 2019 and sets out the Council’s policies and proposals to guide planning decisions and establishes the framework for the sustainable economic growth and development of the Borough up to 2032.

The Local Plan covers a range of matters including the number of new homes that are needed and where they should be located, the amount and proposed location of new employment land; protection and enhancement of the natural and historic environment, provision of new infrastructure and improvement of town centre and community facilities in the Borough.

Key policies in relation to transport planning policy include:

Policy TI1: Transport Infrastructure

The Policy states that for ‘New Development’:

10. “Existing sustainable transport and public transport infrastructure will be protected from development which would impair its function or attractiveness to users.

11. To assist consideration of transport impacts, improve accessibility and safety for all modes of travel associated with development proposals, the Council will require, as appropriate, a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment and a Travel Plan.

5 Local Plan, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, 2019.

Northshore Development Partnership Ltd 2275 ▪ Homezone Phase 5, Northshore, Stockton ▪ Transport Statement 28 May 2021 ▪ Version 1.0 ▪ Issue

12. The council and its partners will seek to ensure that all new development, where appropriate, which generate significant movements are located where the need to travel can be minimised, where practical gives priority to pedestrian and cycle movements, provides access to high quality public transport facilities and offers prospective residents and/or users with genuine sustainable transport options. This will be achieved by seeking to ensure that:

a. Transport choices are widened and the use of sustainable transport modes are maximised. New developments provide access to existing sustainable and public transport networks and hubs. Where appropriate, networks are extended and new hubs created. When considering how best to serve new developments, measures make best use of capacity on existing bus services before proposing new services and consideration is given to increasing the frequency of existing services or providing feeder services within the main network.

b. Suitable access is provided for all people, including those with disabilities, to all modes of transport.

c. Sufficient accessible, and convenient operational and non-operational parking for vehicles and cycles is provided, and where practicable, incorporates facilities for charging plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles. Any new or revised parking provision is of sufficient size and of a layout to facilitate it’s safe and efficient operation.

d. Appropriate infrastructure is provided which supports Travel Demand Management to reduce travel by the private car and incentivises the use of sustainable transport options

e. New development incorporates safe and secure layouts which minimises conflict between traffic, cyclists or pedestrians.”

3.2.2 Tees Valley Strategic Transport Plan 2020-2030

The Tees Valley Strategic Transport Plan 2020-20306 was adopted in January 2020 and has been developed by the Tees Valley Combined Authority in collaboration with the five constituent Local Authorities including Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Stockton. This is the first Strategic Transport Plan for the region, for the period up to 2030, and will help direct investment into transport projects in the period between 2019-2029 with one clear vision:

Northshore Development Partnership Ltd 2275 ▪ Homezone Phase 5, Northshore, Stockton ▪ Transport Statement 28 May 2021 ▪ Version 1.0 ▪ Issue

“To provide a high quality, quick, affordable, reliable, low carbon and safe transport network for people and freight to move within, to and from Tees Valley”.

The plan work towards the long-term aspiration to provide a transport system for Tees Valley where:

• There will be better transport links that will help create more jobs, improve access from existing houses and allow us to build the houses we need;

• The affordability, quality and reliability of your daily commute will be improved;

• More reliable and affordable public transport, walking and cycling options will be available;

• The latest technology that makes travel easy and simple;

• Businesses will be able to rely on quicker, more reliable transport connections and the workforce will be better connected to employment sites.

3.3 Summary

The proposed development fully accords with the aims and objectives of the relevant local and national policy, and the associated transport impacts are set out in the form of this Transport Statement. The proposed site is in a location which is accessible by a range of transport modes, ensuring sustainable access within the district and beyond.

Northshore Development Partnership Ltd 2275 ▪ Homezone Phase 5, Northshore, Stockton ▪ Transport Statement 28 May 2021 ▪ Version 1.0 ▪ Issue

4 Development Proposals

The chapter describes the proposed development and how it will be accessed by all modes of transport.

4.1 Proposed Land Use

The proposals for Homezone Phase 5 comprise 38 residential dwellings on vacant land off North Shore Road, adjacent to the north bank of the River Tees, comprising:

• 19 houses with 2 bedrooms.

• 19 houses with 3 bedrooms.

The proposed layout is demonstrated on the scheme drawings provided at Appendix A.

4.2 Vehicular Access

Vehicular access to the development will be taken from Marina Way, in turn accessed from an existing priority-controlled junction on North Shore Road.

The development is arranged around an internal access road with provision for turning vehicles at either end. Access by refuse vehicles and emergency vehicles can be safely accommodated within the site and from North Shore Road, as demonstrated on Fore drawing 2275100/P/001 for a refuse collection vehicle (as the largest vehicle that is likely to regularly access the development).

A Stage 1 Road Safety Audit has been undertaken by an independent consultant. This is provided at Appendix B, and the findings have either been incorporated in the submitted proposals, or will be addressed as part of detailed design of the development.

Car parking spaces in the form of driveways will be provided for each dwelling, as follows:

• 1 parking spaces per 2-bedroom dwelling.

• 2 parking spaces per 3-bedroom dwelling.

• 8 parking spaces for use by visitors will be provided within the layout.

This gives an overall parking provision of 65 spaces for the proposed 38 dwellings, which equates to a provision of 171%, and in turn is similar to that provided at Homezone 1 (160%), Homezone 2 (176%), Homezone 3 (166%), and Homezone 4 (168%).

Northshore Development Partnership Ltd 2275 ▪ Homezone Phase 5, Northshore, Stockton ▪ Transport Statement 28 May 2021 ▪ Version 1.0 ▪ Issue

4.3 Access by Sustainable Modes

Pedestrian and cycle access will be taken from North Shore Road via the proposed access junction and a separate direct pedestrian access. A pedestrian connection will also be provided to the Riverside Walk, providing an attractive and convenient link to Stockton town centre.

Storage space for 1 cycle will be provided within each dwelling.

Stockton town centre is located a walking distance of approximately 800m from the site, representing a walking time of around 10 minutes. In addition, Stockton and Thornaby rail stations are located 1.2km from the site, representing a walk of around 15 minutes. A wide range of amenities and public transport facilities providing connections to local and regional destinations are readily accessible within a convenient walking distance of the development.

4.4 Travel Plan

4.4.1 Northshore Updated Travel Plan

As part of the outline planning application (application ref. 08/3644/EIS) for the wider Northshore site, a Framework Travel Plan7 was produced. Fore was then commissioned by NSDP to produce an Updated Travel Plan8 in 2019 to reflect changes to the development plans, and the varying of the Section 106 Agreement.

The Updated Travel Plan sets out the measures to be implemented to encourage future users of the site to travel by sustainable modes.

The Phase 4 development will be covered by the Updated Travel Plan for the wider Northshore site.

5 Transport Impacts

This chapter sets out the transport impacts associated with the development proposals and details the methodology adopted.

5.1 Person Trip Generation

Average person trip rates associated with the proposed development have been derived from the TRICS database, following interrogation for multi-modal survey sites based on the criteria set out in Table 3. The trip rates are consistent with those approved in the Transport Statement for the Homezone Phase 3 development (application ref. 16/2306/FUL), which is considered appropriate given that the site is comparable in terms of accessibility, scale and location.

Table 3: TRICS Search Criteria TRICS Land Use Category Residential (03) / Houses Privately Owned (A)

Location Edge of Town Centre / Suburban Area

Survey Days Weekday

Trip Rate Parameter Dwellings

Calculation Factor Trips per Dwelling

The resulting person trip rates and trip generation are set out in Table 4 for the weekday AM and PM peak periods, with the full TRICS output presented at Appendix C.

5.2 Mode Share

Mode share associated with the proposed development has been estimated based on 2011 Census data9 for the Stockton-on-Tees 014E LSOA, the output area in which the site is located and therefore represents a suitable proxy for travel patterns of future residents. The resulting mode share is summarised in Table 5.

The resulting trip generation by mode is set out in Table 6 for the weekday AM and PM peak hours.

Northshore Development Partnership Ltd 2275 ▪ Homezone Phase 5, Northshore, Stockton ▪ Transport Statement 28 May 2021 ▪ Version 1.0 ▪ Issue

The assessment demonstrates that fewer than 15 vehicle movements would be generated during the weekday AM and PM peak hours, respectively. On average this represents less than 1 vehicle every four minutes at peak times. Such an impact is not considered to be significant in terms of the operation of the wider highway network.

In addition, the traffic impacts of the wider Northshore development were comprehensively assessed as part of the outline planning application, and the Phase 5 proposals would not lead to impacts beyond those assessed previously.

As identified at chapter 2.6 of this report, no accidents resulting in personal injury were recorded on North Shore Road in the immediate vicinity of the site during the most recent 5-year period.

Overall, it is concluded that the impacts of the proposed Phase 5 scheme would not represent a significant impact in terms of the operation of the transport network.

6 Summary and Conclusions

This Transport Statement has been prepared to demonstrate the transport impacts of the proposed development of the Phase 5 of the Homezone at Northshore, Stockton.

The report has examined the existing transport network in the vicinity of the site, considered relevant national and local transport policy, outlined the development proposals and determined the resulting impact on the transport network.

The report demonstrates that:

• Opportunities are available to travel to the site by modes other than single occupancy car trips, including walking, cycling and public transport. As such, the proposals are in accordance with the provisions of local and national transport planning policy guidance (including NPPF).

• The proposed access arrangements to the development for all users are satisfactory.

• Traffic associated with the proposed development can be accommodated on the local road network without adverse impacts on the safe and free flow of traffic.

Considered all of the above, it is concluded that the development proposals can be supported from a transport and highways perspective.

Road Safety Audit: Stage 1, North Shore Phase 5, Stockton - S38

1 Introduction

1.1 General This report has been prepared in response to a request to undertake a Stage 1 Road Safety Audit (i.e., carried out prior to detailed design), by Muse Developments. The scheme submitted for Audit is the proposed residential development Phase 5, North Shore Road, Stockton. North Shore Road is subject to a 30mph speed limit and has a system of street lighting.

The audit comprised an examination of documents forming the Audit Brief and an examination of the site. This Audit is restricted to the S38 works.

1.2 Documents Forming the Brief The documents were made available to the Road Safety Audit Team by A Smout (Fore Consulting), on the instructions of Muse Developments, on behalf of the Highway Authority. The total documents forming the Audit Brief are listed in Appendix 1:

Generally, the Brief comprised:

• Brief

• Drawing

1.3 Collision, Traffic and Speed Data

Collision data was provided as part of the brief. The most recent data indicates that there have been no personal injury collisions, in close proximity to the proposed development. Traffic data was not available. Speed data was not available.

1.4 Details of Site Visit A site inspection was undertaken on Tuesday 4th May 2021 between 14:30 – 15:00. The RSA team arrived separately on site to ensure that social distancing was observed as part of the Coronavirus Pandemic and guidance provided by Public Health England. The RSA team spent 30 minutes on site understanding the proposed works and their interaction with the local road network.

During the visit the weather was fine, and the carriageway was dry. North Shore Road was lightly trafficked with very few traffic movements observed during the site visit. No incidents were noted during the site visit.

G KIDD (HONS) MIHE Road Safety Audit Team Member

The Road Safety Audit comprised an examination of the documents and drawings supplied to the Road Safety Audit Team (referenced in Appendix 1 of this report). No member of the Road Safety Audit Team has had any previous input to the design of the scheme. The Terms of Reference are as described in the Highways England Design Manual for Roads and Bridges document GG119 ‘Road Safety Audit’. The scheme has been examined and this report compiled only with regard to safety implications to road users of the scheme as presented. It has not been verified for compliance with any other Standards or criteria. However, in order to clearly explain a safety problem or the recommendation to resolve a problem, the Audit Team may on occasion have referred to a design standard for information only. However, any audit comments should not be construed as implying that a technical audit has been undertaken in any respect. Furthermore, any recommendations included within this report should not be regarded as being prescriptive design solution to the problem raised. They are intended only to indicate a proportionate and viable means of eliminating or mitigating the identified problem, as stipulated in GG119, and in no way imply that a formal design process has been undertaken. There may be alternative methods of addressing a problem which should be equally acceptable in achieving the desired elimination or mitigation and these should be considered when responding to this report. It is the Project Sponsor’s responsibility to ensure that all problems raised by the Road Safety Audit Team are given due consideration. In the event of a collision and any resulting legal action, Meraki Alliance Ltd would have to defend its actions on the basis that it took such care, as in all circumstances was reasonably required, to ensure that the highway was not dangerous to road users. It is important therefore that recommendations contained in the report are acted upon wherever possible.

1.6 Departures or Relaxations from Standards No Departures or Relaxations from Standard were submitted to the Road Safety Audit Team.

1.7 Issues Raised in Previous RSA(s) No previous RSA stages have been undertaken.

2 Items Raised at Stage 1 Road Safety Audit

This section details the findings of this Stage 1 Road Safety Audit. All locations of identified problems are illustrated on the plan included at Appendix 2.

2.1 RSA Problems

PROBLEM 1

Location: Internal roads.

Summary: Details of vehicle tracked movements are not provided on the drawings. Inappropriate carriageway widths and turning radii can result in increased vehicle collisions as well as pedestrian-vehicle collisions.

Details of the swept paths of vehicles, are not provided on the drawings. Inappropriate carriageway widths and junction radii can result in vehicles failing to safely negotiate the new junction arrangements, internal roads, and increasing the risk of vehicle collisions and pedestrian-vehicle collisions.

RECOMMENDATION

Provide swept path movements on all internal roads and junctions.

PROBLEM 2

Location: North Shore Road and A1046

Summary: A lack of suitable barrier, hazard warning tactile and signing will increase the risk of NMU collisions.

There are two locations where links are proposed for NMUs between the site and the surrounding NMU facilities. A link is proposed between the site and North Shore Road, it is unclear if this is to be used by both pedestrians and cyclists. If just pedestrians, then pedestrians need suitable warning that they are entering a segregated cycle/footway. If this link is to be used by cyclists, then it would be expected that some form of staggered barriers would be used to slow cyclists prior to entering the shared facility. A second link is also proposed to the west joining close to signalised junction of Riverside/A1046/Council of Europe Boulevard. If this link is proposed for cyclists, then at the end of the link suitable signing warning cyclists to dismount should be provided as this section of the local road network is for pedestrians only. A lack of suitable barrier, hazard warning tactile and signing will increase the risk of NMU collisions.

RECOMMENDATION

Page 6 Road Safety Audit: Stage 1, North Shore Phase 5, Stockton - S38

At detailed design carefully consider how the development will link into the existing segregated and pedestrian facilities. Where necessary included suitable chicanes, hazard warning tactile and signing.

PROBLEM 3

Location: Internal roads and junctions.

Summary: Inappropriate levels of lighting can lead to an increased collision risk.

The drawings provided do not clearly show if any additional street lighting is proposed within the development. The development will increase both the night-time usage and the number of vehicles/pedestrians using the proposed road network once the development is constructed. This may result in the new areas of carriageway being in shadow leading to possible conflicts during the hours of darkness.

RECOMMENDATION

Ensure that suitable lighting provision is provided with the agreement of the Local Highway Authority.

PROBLEM 4

Location: Internal roads.

Summary: Inappropriate drainage may lead to ponding resulting in standing water resulting in loss of control type collisions.

The drawing shows a new road layout will be constructed as part of the development. Ponding water can result in an increased risk of loss of control type collisions and at certain times of year standing water will freeze resulting in sheets of ice. Vehicles manoeuvring could lose control resulting in an increased risk of collisions.

RECOMMENDATION

Provide appropriate drainage where new carriageway is proposed.

PROBLEM 5

Location: Steps to Riverside Walk.

Summary: NMU facilities that do not meet current standards will increase the risk of NMU trips and falls.

In the south western corner of the site, it appears that there will be steps from the development leading down to Riverside Walk. Partially sighted and blind pedestrians require warning tactile/paving on any flight of stairs giving suitable notice that they are approaching steps.

Page 7 Road Safety Audit: Stage 1, North Shore Phase 5, Stockton - S38

A lack of warning tactile/paving on the flight of stairs will increase the risk of pedestrian trips and falls.

RECOMMENDATION

Provide warning tactile/paving to standard where any flights of stairs are proposed.

2 Items Raised at Stage 1 Road Safety Audit

This section details the findings of this Stage 1 Road Safety Audit. All locations of identified problems are illustrated on the plan included at Appendix 2.

2.1 RSA Problems

PROBLEM 1

Location: Access junction.

The Audit Team accept that there is an existing junction that is not is use and that the development proposes to use this junction with little or no changes. However, without dimensions and vehicle tracking it is unclear if proposed vehicle types can safely negotiate the new junction arrangements. Inappropriate carriageway widths and junction radii can increase the risk of vehicle collisions and pedestrian-vehicle collisions.

RECOMMENDATION

Provide swept path movements at the access junction.

PROBLEM 2

Location: Access junction.

Summary: A lack of suitable uncontrolled crossing points can increase the risk of NMU/vehicle collisions.

There is an existing dropped crossing of the proposed site access, the drawings do show that resurfacing works will take place on the northern section of the access. The drawings do not show if the existing uncontrolled dropped crossing will be replaced. A lack of suitable uncontrolled crossing points can increase the risk of NMU/vehicle collisions as well as trips and falls.

RECOMMENDATION

Provide uncontrolled dropped crossing point.

PROBLEM 3

Location: Access junction.

Summary: Inappropriate levels of lighting can lead to an increased collision risk.

Page 6 Road Safety Audit: Stage 1, North Shore Phase 5, Stockton – S278

The drawings provided do not clearly show if any additional street lighting is proposed at the access. The development will increase both the night-time usage and the number of vehicles/pedestrians using the proposed road network once the development is constructed.
