1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
1.1.1 Asbri Transport Limited have been commissioned by Kevin Demirci Properties Limited to provide transport planning services to the development project. This entails the production of a Transport Assessment (TA) and Travel Plan to accompany a planning application for the development of student accommodation on land at Jockey Street, Swansea.
1.1.2 The planning application proposes the construction of student accommodation blocks, providing a total of 328 bedrooms in buildings of 4 to 12 storeys in height. The ground floor includes a number of communal and ancillary facilities including a foyer and reception area, common room, study spaces and a media room.
1.1.3 In addition, surface car parking is proposed at the development providing 10 car parking spaces, of which one is for disabled motorists, and an enclosed cycle parking store for 164 bicycles. Parking matters are discussed in greater detail later in the report.
1.1.4 The application site is located on Jockey Street to the north of Swansea city centre immediately west of New Cut Road (classified as the A483) and the Great Western railway line on its approach into Swansea Railway Station. Buildings associated with Swansea Business School of the University of Trinity St David are located on the southern side of Jockey Street.
1.1.5 The purpose of this assessment is to detail the likely transport characteristics of the proposed development, and its potential impact on the surrounding transport and highway networks. It also examines the site’s recent planning history.
1.1.6 A comprehensive Travel Plan focused on facilitating sustainable and active travel to and from the site also accompanies the planning application submission.

1.2 Recent Planning History and Appeal Decision APP/B6855/A/18/3214419
1.2.1 A previous planning application, 2017/0367 for a 414-student bedroom development accompanied by 4 parking spaces at the site was refused in 2018 by the Local Planning Authority. It is understood that the planning application had been recommended for approval by officers of the Authority but members refused the application at Committee.
1.2.2 This refusal was subsequently upheld at Appeal in 2018. The Appeal Decision’s reference is APP/B6855/A/18/3214419 and this is included in full at Appendix A.
1.2.3 The Inspector considered one of the two main issues to be ‘the effect of the development on highway safety with particular regard to parking provision.’ The other was the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area.
1.2.4 There was considerable focus by the Inspector on parking matters in the Appeal decision and the Inspector concluded that the level of vehicle parking provision (4 spaces) proposed in the planning application was not sufficient and could lead to additional pressure for on-street parking nearby.
1.2.5 The Inspector also concluded that ‘the nearby streets would have limited capacity to meet any additional demand for parking resulting from the proposed development.’ The parking restrictions that are in situ near the application site, as of July 2019, are described in section 3 of the TA.
1.2.6 It is noted that the Inspector detailed in his decision letter the following, ‘……As such I concur with the view that the site is located in a sustainable location.’ The Inspector also acknowledged that the site would have the potential to reduce the demand for car use.
1.2.7 The Inspector however concluded that the development proposal would cause an unacceptable risk to highway safety, as a result of a lack of parking provision.

1.3 Scoping discussions with City and County of Swansea
1.3.1 A pre-application meeting was held with planning officers of the City and County of Swansea on 24th June 2019. Officers of the Highway Authority did not attend.
1.3.2 The proposed development was discussed in detail with the planning officers. They also relayed the informal comments of the Highways officer which predominantly focused on parking matters and site accessibility. The comments of the Highway Authority officer reiterated the position taken by the Appeal Inspector in the Appeal decision described in the previous sub- section of this report.
1.3.3 There was discussion at the meeting regarding the site’s pedestrian connectivity with the city centre and nearby public transport stops. This has been examined in the Transport Assessment.
1.3.4 The scoping liaison with officers of the CCS and the views of the Highway Authority on the previous planning application has informed the structure and content of this Transport Assessment.
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 site,
Section 3 outlines the proposed development, its parking provision and access strategy;
Section 4 details the transport characteristics of the proposed development, together with an estimate of vehicular trip generation and the likely impact on the surrounding highway network; and,
Section 5 summarises and concludes the findings of the report.

2.0 POLICY CONTEXT
2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 This section of the report reviews national, regional and local transport related planning policy guidance that is relevant to the proposed development on land within the retail zone of Swansea Enterprise Park.
2.2 Wales Spatial Plan – People, Places, Futures
2.2.1 The Wales Spatial Plan has amongst its goals:
‘Achieving sustainable accessibility. To balance the social, economic and environmental impacts of travel while enhancing accessibility and to tackle the challenge of benefiting from larger networked regions while reducing the negative impacts of travel’.
2.2.2 The Wales Spatial Plan provides the context and direction of travel for local development plans and the work of local service boards.
2.3 Planning Policy Wales (Edition 10) 2018.
2.3.1 Planning Policy Wales (edition 10) was published in December 2018. It sets out the land use planning policies of the Welsh Government and will deliver the vision of Wales as set out in the Well Being of Future Generations Act.
2.3.2 The Welsh Government aims to extend choice in transport and secure accessibility in a way which supports sustainable development with greater use of more sustainable and healthy forms of travel, thereby minimising the need PPW states at section 4.1 that:
‘The planning system should enable people to access jobs and services through shorter, more efficient and sustainable journeys, by walking, cycling and public transport. By influencing the location, scale, density, mix of uses and design of new development, the planning system can improve choice in transport and secure accessibility in a way which supports sustainable development, increases physical activity, improves health and helps to tackle the causes of climate change and airborne pollution by:
Asbri Transport 4
Enabling More Sustainable Travel Choices – measures to increase walking, cycling and public transport, reduce dependency on the car for daily travel;
Network Management – measures to make best use of the available capacity, supported by targeted new infrastructure; and,
Demand Management – the application of strategies and policies to reduce travel demand, specifically that of single-occupancy private vehicles.’
2.3.3 The overreaching goal of the Welsh Government is to reduce reliance on single occupancy vehicles and support a modal shift to walking, cycling and public transport.
2.3.4 The Welsh Government aims to extend choice in transport and secure accessibility in a way which supports sustainable development and helps to tackle the causes of climate change by: enabling more sustainable travel choices, manage both the current and future transport network effectively and minimising the need to travel via single-occupancy private vehicles. This will be achieved through the integration:
2.3.5 PPW states that:
‘The planning system has a key role to play in reducing the need to travel and supporting sustainable transport, by facilitating developments which:
Are sited in the right locations, where they can be easily accessed by sustainable modes of travel and without the need for a car;
Are designed in a way which integrates them with existing land uses and neighbourhoods: and;
Make it possible for all short journeys within and beyond the development to be easily made by walking and cycling.’
2.3.6 In addition, PPW outlines:
Asbri Transport 5
‘Transport Assessments can be required for any proposed development if the Planning authority considers that there is a justification or specific need.’
2.4 Wales Transport Strategy
2.4.1 The Wales Transport Policy aims to maximise the consideration of access during the planning of new services and facilities, influence and alter travel patterns, promote sustainable travel and contribute to environmental improvements.
2.5 One Wales: Connecting the Nation
2.5.1 The goal of One Wales: Connecting the Nation is to promote sustainable transport networks that safeguard the environment while strengthening our country’s economic and social life. The One Wales programme is working to achieve a nation with access for all, where travelling between communities and accessing services, jobs and facilities in different parts of Wales is both easy and sustainable, and which support the growth of our economy.
2.6 Technical Advice Note (TAN 18): Transport
2.6.1 TAN 18 identifies that Planning Policy Wales and the Wales Transport Strategy both aim to secure the provision of transport infrastructure and services, which improve accessibility, build a stronger economy, improve road safety and foster more sustainable communities.
2.6.2 To achieve this and the core objectives, the following initiatives relevant to the proposed development are:
Reducing the need to travel
Promoting walking and cycling
Managing parking provision
Encouraging the location of development near other related uses to encourage multi-purpose trips
2.6.3 TAN 18 describes how to integrate land use and transport planning, and explains how transport impacts should be assessed and mitigated. TAN18 also
Asbri Transport 6
identifies thresholds at which a Transport Assessment should be produced in support of a planning application.
2.6.4 Paragraph 4.13 of TAN 18 details,
“Maximum parking standards should not be applied so rigidly that they become minimum standards. Maximum standards should allow developers the discretion to reduce parking levels.”
City and County of Swansea Local Development Plan (LDP)
2.6.5 On 28th February 2019, the Council adopted the ‘Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025.’ The Plan became operative on that date and now forms the development plan for Swansea providing an up to date planning framework to guide and inform development proposals.
2.6.6 The Swansea LDP supersedes the Swansea Unitary Development Plan, which no longer applies.
2.6.7 Policy H11 of the LDP references the Council’s policy on ‘purpose built student accommodation’ and states that it ‘should be located within the Swansea Central area and must in the first instance assess the availability and suitability of potential sites and premises at this location.’
2.6.8 Paragraph 2.5.107 states:
“It is preferable that student needs are met as far as possible by modern purpose built and managed schemes with the space and facilities more suited to students needs in appropriate Swansea Central Area locations where there is good access to services, facilities and public transport to the University buildings”
2.6.9 The application site is located within the Swansea central area.
2.7 Conclusion to Policy Review.
2.7.1 The site is located within a sustainable location in the City’s Central area as defined in the LDP and in the immediate vicinity of Swansea Railway Station
Asbri Transport 7
and bus network. This fact has been acknowledged by the Planning Inspectorate in a previous Appeal Decision.
2.7.2 The proposed development would make use of a previously developed urban site which, it is considered is suitable for the form of development proposed, and in a central location in terms of sustainability and with a level of parking provision fully in accordance with the adopted standards of the Local Planning Authority.
2.7.3 The planning submission is accompanied by an effective Travel Plan that will encourage sustainable travel to and from the development and the site is located within 200m of a regular bus services that provides access to both campus locations of Swansea University.

3.0 EXISTING SITUATION
3.1 Site location
3.1.1 The application site is a broadly rectangular parcel of land situated to the north-east of Swansea city centre. The site is disused but its last former use was that of the Canoldre Centre, which was used as an adult education and community centre.
3.1.2 The site is bounded to the north by two buildings known as Friendship House and the Demarco Dance Studio beyond which lies Bethedsa Street, to the east by New Cut Road and beyond that, the Great Western rail line linking Swansea to London Paddington. To its immediate west is John Street which links to Jockey Street to the south which lies adjacent to Swansea Business School of Trinity Saint David’s University.
3.1.3 The proposed development site location and local highway network are shown in Figure 3.1.
3.1.4 The Inspector concluded in her Appeal decision that the site is located in a sustainable location.
3.2 Highway Network
3.2.1 As described above, the application site is situated on Jockey Street which forms a priority junction with Prince of Wales Road to the north. To the west of Prince of Wales Road is High Street which provides access to the city centre from the north.
3.2.2 New Cut Road is located to the immediate east of the application site and is classified as the A483. New Cut Road is a major arterial route providing access to Swansea city centre, the SA1 Waterfront area and the docks area of Swansea. The Strand is further afield to the south of the site and south of Swansea Railway Station. This road distributes traffic to the east of the City Centre and provides a link between the A483 and A4067.
3.2.3 The City and County of Swansea have constructed a new highway link in the form of a district distributor road developing Morfa Road into the Morfa
Asbri Transport 9
Distributor Road. The distributor road connects with New Cut Road by way of a signal-controlled junction.
Jockey Street
3.2.4 Jockey Street is a lightly trafficked, ‘no through road’ for vehicles which is accessed via John Street. It predominantly provides access to buildings used by Trinity St David’s University and the former Canoldre Centre located on the application site. Both buildings have surface parking within their curtilage, with the Canoldre Centre having a large surface car park to the rear of the building and some parking spaces perpendicular with Jockey Street. It also provides access to the rear residential buildings that front Prince of Wales Road.
3.2.5 There are footways on either side of Jockey Street, and there is a pedestrian tunnel at the eastern end of Jockey Street that passes under the railway line providing a connection to New Cut Road. The tunnel is lit. There is a lockable barrier at the Jockey Street entrance to the tunnel to prevent vehicular access.
3.2.6 There are double yellow line parking restrictions present on both sides of Jockey Street which extend from a point just north of the right-angle bend with John Street to the barrier at its eastern end.

John Street
3.2.7 John Street connects Jockey Street to Prince of Wales Road by way of a simple priority junction with Prince of Wales Road. Prince of Wales Road forms the major road of the junction.
3.2.8 It has an average carriageway width of 6.5m from a point approximately 16m east of its junction with Prince of Wales Road and this width continues until it connects with Jockey Street by way of a 90-degree bend. The road provides access to perpendicular parking bays to the rear of Bethedsa Court, a flatted development which fronts Prince of Wales Road.
3.2.9 There are double yellow line parking restrictions present on both sides of the road on its approach to the junction with Prince of Wales Road. These continue on its western side for the entire length of John Street.
3.2.10 An approximate length of 45m of the eastern side of John Street is not subject to any parking restrictions. On-site observations made in 2019 have noted that this section of the road is regularly occupied by parked vehicles.

Morfa Road
3.2.11 The Morfa Distributor Road (MDR) provides a single carriageway highway with a district distributor road function connecting the Normandy Road roundabout
Asbri Transport 11
in the north to New Cut Road in the vicinity of its signalised junction with New Cut Road.
3.2.12 A Transport Statement that accompanied the planning application for the new alignment acknowledges that the proposed alignment ‘Is expected to encourage its use as a district distributor road, rather than local distributor road’.
3.2.13 The purpose of the MDR is to open the riverside corridor for development, easing traffic congestion and air quality problems in the Hafod and promoting improved walking and cycling links in the area. It provides access to a number of land uses.
New Cut Road
3.2.14 New Cut Road is a two-way single carriageway road, approximately 11m in width, and runs in a north-south alignment. It forms the major road of a signal controlled junction with Morfa Road and is bridged by the Swansea – London Paddington Railway line immediately to the north of this junction.
3.2.15 To the north, New Cut Road forms a signal controlled junction with Bridge Street in Dyfatty, and to the immediate south-west of this junction there is a further signal-controlled junction where the A4118 intersects with Carmarthen Road (A483) and High Street (B4489).
3.2.16 To the south of the application site New Cut Road’s alignment runs south, where it connects with the River Tawe bridges and forms part of the traffic signal controlled junctions that control traffic movement over the two Tawe Bridges.
3.2.17 To the south of the New Cut Road/ Morfa signal-controlled junction is another priority junction on New Cut Road’s western side with the Strand. This junction is provided with a right-turn lane allowing turning traffic to wait within, without impeding the north-bound flow of traffic on New Cut Road. This priority junction provides access to Plantasia, Parc Tawe and the city centre.
Asbri Transport 12
3.2.18 There is an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing facility in the form of a refuge present in the vicinity of the priority junction allowing pedestrians to cross New Cut Road safely.
3.2.19 New Cut Road is subject to a speed limit of 30 mph and has street lighting present. There are yellow line waiting and loading restrictions present in the vicinity of the signal controlled junction with Morfa Road. The restrictions continue around the bell-mouth radii of Morfa Road.
The Strand
3.2.20 The Strand is a local distributor road, located to the south of the railway line, which provides access to the city centre. It follows a semi-circular alignment that connects with New Cut Road (A483) at a priority junction and a further priority junction with Quay Parade (A4067) to the south.
3.2.21 The Strand provides a connection to the Kingsway in the city centre, via Kings Lane from both New Cut Road (A483) and Quay Parade (A4067). It provides a connection between these two arterial routes.
3.2.22 It provides access to predominantly commercial and retail properties including the various service yards associated with the Parc Tawe Retail Park. Access to the High Street multi store car park (MSCP) may also be obtained from the Strand (the car park may also be entered from High Street) and all exiting traffic from the MSCP does so by way of the Strand. It also provides access to Swansea Central Fire Station which is located on the southern side of the Strand.
3.2.23 There are footways present on both sides of the Strand and a number of pedestrian crossing facilities are provided including controlled pedestrian crossing facilities at its signal junction with Plantasia.
3.2.24 The provision for pedestrian movement on the local highway network is detailed below.
Asbri Transport 13
3.3 Public Transport
Bus
3.3.1 The closest bus stops to the proposed development are located on New Cut Road to the east of the site. Service 10 operates from the stops on New Cut Road providing a link to both Swansea University campuses (i.e. Singleton and the Bay).
3.3.2 These stops may be accessed from the pedestrian tunnel that links Jockey Street to New Cut Road. They are an approximate 140m walk from the south- eastern end of Jockey Street via the pedestrian tunnel to New Cut Road. This equates to slightly less than a 2-minute walk time.
3.3.3 Other stops are located on High Street, to the south-west of the application site, with services providing numerous links around Swansea and the wider bus network. These stops are an approximate 250m walk distance from the application site, equating to an approximate 3-minute walk time.
3.3.4 The services operating within 700m of the site (on New Cut Road and High Street) are detailed in Table 3.1 below.

Rail
3.3.6 Swansea Railway Station is located approximately 250 metres to the south of the application site, ‘as the crow flies’ but is an approximate 300m walk distance. This equates to an approximate 4-minute walk time, assuming a walking speed of 80 metres per minute.
3.3.7 The walk distance calculated assumes that pedestrians access the station via its entrance to the platforms on its northern façade.
3.3.8 The station is located on the Swansea to London Paddington line providing frequent services to Cardiff and London Paddington. High-speed services operate to London and provide access to all stations on the Swansea to Paddington route, including Neath, Port Talbot Parkway, Bridgend, Cardiff, Newport, Bristol Parkway, and Reading. Rail users may then inter-change at these stations to access other destinations.
3.3.9 Swansea Railway Station has under-gone a significant refurbishment during the period 2012-2013 with an improved concourse, accessibility improvements and improved station facilities.
3.4 Pedestrians and cyclists
3.4.1 The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) guidelines for ‘Providing Journeys on Foot’ indicates that the desirable walking distance for
Asbri Transport 16
commuting/school journeys in 500 metres, the acceptable walking distance in 1.0km and 2.0km is the preferred maximum.
3.4.2 There are footways on both sides of Jockey Street and John Street but no designated pedestrian crossing points.
3.4.3 Due to the built environment, it is noted that pedestrians wishing to access High Street, the railway station and bus stops have to do so via John Street before turning south on Prince of Wales Road.
Pedestrians
3.4.4 The planning application proposes a number of improvements to the pedestrian and highway realm in the vicinity of the application site. This focuses in particular to improvements on the pedestrian route from Jockey Street to New Cut Road.
3.4.5 Street lighting is to be upgraded both on Jockey Street and New Cut Road (under the railway bridges) including the provision of low level pedestrian lighting.
3.4.6 In addition, CCTV cameras are proposed to be installed ensuring coverage of Jockey Street, the pedestrian route to New Cut Road and New Cut Road itself. It is considered that that this will significantly enhance public safety for pedestrians wishing to access the bus services operating in New Cut Road.
3.4.7 As outlined above, the roads within the vicinity of the site includes pedestrian footways, providing continuous links between the development and significant local amenities both nearby and in the city centre such as:
Swansea Railway Station
Bus services
Food and convenience goods retail;
Cinemas and other leisure destinations;
Restaurants
Schools;
Asbri Transport 17
Libraries;
Fast food establishments;
Places of worship;
Post office; and,
Public house/s.
3.4.8 Figure 3.3 shows the local amenities within proximity of the application site together with the 400m, 800m, 1km and 1.2 km isochrones.
3.4.9 As a consequence of its central location there is a considerable amount of pedestrian crossing infrastructure in situ on the highway network in the vicinity of the application site.
3.4.10 There is a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing on High Street located immediately south of its junction with Prince of Wales Road. There are dropped kerbs and tactile paving on Powell Street and further dropped kerbs with tactile paving and a zebra crossing providing access to the station entrance.
Asbri Transport 18
Photograph 5: Signal-controlled pedestrian crossing on High Street.
3.4.11 It is acknowledged that there is limited pedestrian crossing provision in terms of dropped kerbs and tactile paving in the application site’s immediate vicinity i.e. on both John and Jockey Street. Several visits have been undertaken whilst preparing this Transport Assessment and these have noted that the roads are lightly trafficked.
3.4.12 Pedestrian movement to and from the city centre is well catered for with wide footways and a considerable level of signal-controlled crossing provision.
Cyclists
3.4.13 There are a number of cycle routes within the vicinity of the site (and throughout the city centre), including:
Asbri Transport 19
NCN (Route 4) – providing connections to the east (Swansea Bay Campus, Briton Ferry and Port Talbot), the west (Swansea City Centre, Singleton Campus including the bus and rail station), and the north;
NCN (Route 43) – running alongside the River Tawe – providing connections to the north of the city centre; and,
A number of local routes, connecting the city centre to the wider network.
3.4.14 Local cycle infrastructure is shown in Figure 3.4.
3.5 Highway safety

4.0 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 The proposed development is for a scheme of purpose-built, high quality student accommodation provided over 4 - 12 storeys to provide some 328 bedrooms, together with ancillary and communal uses such as a foyer and reception area, common room, post room, media room and staff facilities.
4.1.2 The student accommodation is to provide a combination of studios and cluster flats comprising 4,5,6 7 and 8 bedroom cluster apartments
4.1.3 The proposed site layout is shown in Appendix B.
4.2 Means of access and visibility
Pedestrians and cyclists
4.2.1 Each block of student accommodation will have its own dedicated pedestrian access.
Vehicles and public transport
4.2.2 One point of vehicle access is to be provided to John Street located at the western boundary of the application’s site.
4.2.3 The proposed development is accessible by vehicle from the wider classified road network via Bethedsa Street to the north which forms a priority junction with High Street classifies as the B4489.
Visibility at surface car park access
4.2.4 The access has been designed with a kerbed build-out feature to allow exiting vehicles a visibility splay that will not be obscured by the on-street parking that occurs on John Street.
4.2.5 A visibility splay with an ‘X’ distance of 2.4m and a ‘Y’ distance of 25m has been drawn at the proposed site access in accordance with technical guidance detailed in Manual for Streets.
Asbri Transport 21
4.2.6 This is shown in Figure 4.1.
4.3 Parking
Car parking
4.3.1 The proposed development is accompanied by 10 car parking spaces, one of which is to be demarcated for disabled motorists.
4.3.2 The maximum parking provision allowed in the City and County of Swansea’s adopted residential parking standards for purpose-built student accommodation as detailed in their Supplementary Planning Guidance (dated March 2012).
4.3.3 Paragraph 4.3 of the Parking Standards document states the following:
‘Local authorities should ensure that new developments provide lower levels of parking than have generally been achieved in the past. Minimum parking standards are no longer appropriate. Local authorities should develop an integrated strategy on parking to support the overall transport and locational policies of the UDP.’
4.3.4 Note 7 of the residential parking standards for New Build and Conversions states:
Low parking standards required for purpose-built student accommodation will be based upon a condition requiring a legal tenancy agreement to prevent students parking on neighbouring streets within a 3-mile radius of the accommodation building, public transport facilities, and the provision of a Travel Plan.
4.3.5 Asbri Transport understands that all students resident at the development will be required to enter into a tenancy agreement at the development and is committed to the implementation of the Travel Plan that accompanies the planning submission.
4.3.6 Table 4.1 below outlines the maximum parking provision contained within the City and County of Swansea’s adopted parking standards.

Parking Standards Proposed Type of Provision development Maximum Residents Visitors Provision
1 space Purpose built 1 space per 25 student (328/25) per 10 (328/10) beds for 46 accommodation beds servicing, car parking under 13 (for 33 10 wardens spaces College/University students and drop- control &/or off areas visitors Table 4.1 Parking Standards and proposed parking provision
4.3.7 It is noted that the adopted parking standards would allow a total of 46 parking spaces at the development.
Cycle parking
4.3.8 Secure cycle parking that is to be provided at the site will encourage students to adopt this mode of travel to and from their place of study.
4.3.9 Cycle stands are to be located on the ground floor of the proposed development, with provision for a total of 164 bicycles at the requisite parking standard of 1 space per 2 bedrooms.
4.4 Servicing
4.4.1 The proposed development will be serviced from Jockey Street.
4.4.2 Swept path analysis has been undertaken (detailed in Appendix C) demonstrating that a 11.m RCV is able to service the site externally.
4.5 Car park management
4.5.1 The 10 parking spaces shall be allocated to resident students or others associated at the development at the discretion of the management company responsible for managing the development.
4.5.2 All other students (i.e. those not allocated parking provision) will be required to enter into a tenancy agreement, a clause within which will prevent them for
Asbri Transport 23
bringing a car within 3 miles of the application site. The requirement for such a tenancy agreement is detailed in the adopted parking standards of the Local Planning Authority.
4.5.3 An example of such a tenancy agreement is included at Appendix D.
4.5.4 The Travel Plan that accompanies the planning submission also includes significant measures and objectives for students accommodated at the development to travel by active and sustainable modes of transport.
4.6 Beginning and end of term arrangements
4.6.1 A process will be introduced by the management company of the development to facilitate the efficient occupation and vacation of the development at the beginning and end of term. It is anticipated that one week-end will be allocated to students to move into or vacate their accommodation.
4.6.2 A proportion (or all) of the parking spaces will be allocated to those students who may drive (or be driven) to the application site on a rota basis whereby students may use the allocated parking space to load/unload their belongings during a pre-specified time period.
4.6.3 The proximity of the site to Swansea Railway Station will also allow students to travel to/from the site by rail. This mode and coach travel via the Quadrant Bus Station are considered to be attractive at the end of the Christmas and Easter terms when students travel home.
4.6.4 The proximity of the High Street multi-storey car park will also allow students travelling by car to park there should they miss their allocated spot for use of on-site car parking space.
4.6.5 This process shall be managed and should any students arrive in vehicles outside their allocated slot they will be re-directed to nearby public car parks.

5.0 TRANSPORT CHARACTERISTICS
5.1 Introduction
5.1.1 This section of the report outlines the likely volumes of traffic generated by the proposed (purpose-built student accommodation) use and identifies the likely impact of the proposals on the surrounding network.
5.1.2 As has been detailed in Section 1 of the report, the planning application seeks permission for the development of student accommodation comprising of 328 beds.
5.2 Vehicular trip generation
5.2.1 The trip generation for the proposed student accommodation has been derived using data contained within the current version of the TRICS trip generation database.
Residential – Student accommodation (328 student bedrooms)
5.2.2 The vehicle trip generation rates have been obtained from the TRICS 7.6.2 trip generation database. Sites were selected on the basis of the following criteria:
Land use: Residential – Student accommodation;
Survey days: Monday, Wednesday & Thursday;
Number of residents: 197 - 370;
Edge of town centre sites and,
Location of development: UK, excluding Greater London,
5.2.3 The TRICs database was interrogated to provide a representative sample of
5.2.4 The trip rates and resultant vehicles are presented in Table 5.1 below and the full output is shown in Appendix E.
Asbri Transport 25
Trip rates Vehicles Peak period Arrive Depart Total Arrive Depart Total
0800-0900 0.01 0.009 0.019 3 3 6 1700-1800 0.016 0.021 0.037 5 7 12 Table 5.1 Summary of trip rates/vehicular generation for 328 bedrooms.
5.2.5 It is evident from Table 5.1, based on 328 student bedrooms, the development could generate 6 vehicle movements (two-way) in the AM peak period and 12 vehicle movements (two-way) in the PM peak period.
5.3 Impact of the development proposals
5.3.1 Based on the TRICS analysis undertaken, the forecast peak hour vehicle trip generation has been quantified as 6 and 12 two-way trips in the a.m. and p.m. peak period respectively.
5.3.2 The applications site’s former use was accompanied by approximately 29 parking spaces. It is therefore considered that the site’s former could have attracted a greater level of vehicle trips than would be attracted to the proposed use.
5.3.3 The parking provision associated with the site’s former use is detailed in the aerial photograph 6 below:
Photograph 6: Aerial photograph of site
Asbri Transport 26
5.3.4 It is considered that this low level of peak hour vehicle trip generation will have a negligible impact on the performance of the local highway network and as such no further impact assessment is necessary. In addition, it is considered that the site’s former use had a greater propensity to attract traffic from the local highway network due to its greater level of parking provision.
5.4 Parking Accumulation.
5.4.1 A parking accumulation assessment has been undertaken using the trip rates detailed above.
5.4.2 This has calculated peak parking accumulation by using the vehicle arrival and departure trip profile derived from the TRICS database.
5.4.3 This is included at Appendix F. As can be seen from Appendix F, based on the TRICS analysis undertaken parking demand at the development is proposed to peak at just 1 vehicle.
5.4.4 In view of this assessment it is considered that the proposed parking provision of 10 spaces is more than sufficient to meet the forecast peak parking demand of the proposed development.

6.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
6.1 Summary
6.1.1 Asbri Transport Limited has been commissioned by Kevin Dimirci Properties Limited to provide transport planning services and to produce a Transport Assessment in support of a planning application for the development of land Jockey Street, Swansea.
6.1.2 The planning application proposes the construction of five student accommodation blocks, providing a total of 328 bedrooms, ancillary land uses on the ground floor and car parking provision of 10 spaces and 164 cycle parking spaces.
6.1.3 The Transport Assessment has reviewed the proposed development against the relevant national, regional and local planning and transport policies, and concluded that the proposed development is in compliance as it:
Makes safe, effective and efficient use of the existing transport network, and is well located to existing public transport provision;
Ensures connectivity by a range of transport modes, including walking, cycling and public transport;
References a tenancy agreement that will be contractually binding on all students’ resident at the development; and
Includes a Travel Plan to influence future travel behaviour by student of the development.
6.1.4 The TA has undertaken an audit of the local highway network including the existing provision for pedestrian and cyclist movement in the vicinity of the application site. There are bus stops on New Cut Road and High Street that provide accessibility around Swansea (including direct services to the campus of Swansea University) and the wider highway network. Swansea Railway Station is also easily accessible on foot from the application site and it is within a 310m walk distance of the application site.
Asbri Transport 28
6.1.5 Collision data has been secured for the most recent five-year period where data was available. No discernible trend in terms of collision location or type has been noted, and within the study area a total of 12 slight collisions and 1 serious collision were recorded.
6.1.6 The trip generation rates have been obtained from the current version of the TRICS trip generation database (version 7.6.2) to estimate the developments peak hour traffic generation. The analysis has been based on 6 vehicle trips (two-way) in the AM peak period (0800-0900) and 12 vehicle trips (two-way) in the PM peak period (1600-1700).
6.1.7 Students accommodated at the development will be required to enter into a tenancy agreement precluding them from parking within a 3-mile radius of the development. An example of the tenancy agreement has been submitted with the planning application and is appended to the Transport Assessment.
6.1.8 It is also considered that the successful implementation of the Travel Plan will reduce car-borne trip required generation associated with the proposed development.
6.2 Conclusion
6.2.1 In conclusion, the site is located in a sustainable location, in the central area of the city with excellent access to public transport facilities, cycle/pedestrian routes and local facilities and, in general, to Swansea’s central core area.
6.2.2 The anticipated vehicle trip generation is also low, as a result of low car occupancy levels amongst students and is commensurate with the level of parking provision provided at other similarly located purpose built student schemes in Swansea.
6.2.3 The campus locations of the various Swansea Universities are in walking and cycling distance and may also be accessed by local bus services.
6.2.4 The proposed development will have a negligible impact on the performance of the local highway network, much of which in the site’s vicinity has benefitted from considerable improvements in recent years.
Asbri Transport 29
6.2.5 A parking accumulation exercise has been undertaken in the report and this has demonstrated a very low peak parking demand of 1 vehicle.
6.2.6 It is considered that the proposed development is appropriately located and is accompanied by a level of parking provision that meet forecast peak parking demand.

Appeal Ref: APP/B6855/A/18/3214419 Site address: Land north of Jockey Street, Jockey Street, Swansea, SA1 1NS The Welsh Ministers have transferred the authority to decide this appeal to me as the appointed Inspector. • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant planning permission. • The appeal is made by Mr Garip Demirci against the decision of the City and County of Swansea Council. • The application Ref 2017/2606/FUL, dated 7 December 2017, was refused by notice dated 13 August 2018. • The development proposed is the construction of a 453 bed high rise purpose built student accommodation.
Decision
1. The appeal is dismissed.
Procedural Matters
2. The description of development in the banner heading above has been taken from the application form submitted to the Council. During the processing of the application the development was amended with revised plans and is now described as “demolition of existing building and construction of purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) building between 6-14 storeys (up to 414 bedrooms – a mixture of cluster flats & studio apartments) with ancillary ground floor communal facilities, bicycle & bin storage, with ground floor commercial unit (Class A3) and associated infrastructure works, landscaping and car parking (4 spaces)”. As this describes the development now proposed it is the description that I have used for the basis of my decision.
3. A Unilateral Undertaking has been provided under the provisions of section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The duly signed Undertaking is dated 11 October 2018 and provides an obligation to pay a highways contribution prior to occupation of any accommodation unit. The contribution would be used towards measures to improve accessibility of the site. It also includes obligations that the developer covenants with the Council that car parking on the site accords with the car park management plan and that prior to the first occupation of any accommodation unit the written approval of the Council will be obtained to the form of the tenancy agreement to be used for each of the accommodation units in respect of the allocation of car parking spaces. I consider the Undertaking further below.
Appeal Decision APP/B6855/A/18/3214419
4. Since the Council made its decision Edition 10 of Planning Policy Wales (PPW) has been published. The parties were consulted on the changes and I have taken the response received and the revised version into account in reaching my decision.
5. The appellant submitted an amended plan relating to parking provision as part of the appeal proposals. Article 26C of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Wales) Order 2012 (as amended) restricts amendments to schemes being submitted on appeal. As such, as required by the Regulations, I have not taken the revised parking plan into account in reaching my decision.
Main Issues
6. The main issues are:
• the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area; and
• the effect of the development on highway safety with particular regard to parking provision.
Reasons
Character and Appearance
7. The application site is situated on the northern side of the city centre and in an area comprising a mixture of uses. The university’s business campus is located to the immediate south, the railway line to the east, a residential block to the west and the Friendship House and dance school to the north. These buildings are of various heights with the residential block and business school being 5 and 6/7 storeys high and the Friendship House and dance school being 3 storeys and 1 storey respectively.
8. The site is accessed via John Street and Jockey Street, with the latter terminating at the elevated railway bridge. Pedestrian access is obtained from Jockey Street under the bridge onto New Cut Road to the east and to the nearby railway station and city centre to the west. The site slopes down from north to south and west to east. At the time of my site visit the site had been cleared and was being used for parking.
9. The proposed development would provide student accommodation comprising 414 bedrooms in cluster flats and studio apartments. The accommodation would be partly within a six storey block and partly within a 14 storey block. The 14 storey block would be situated on the eastern side of the site adjacent to the railway line and would utilise the fall in ground levels. The ground floor would provide a café, bin storage area and reception/communal area and four car parking spaces accessed from Jockey Street. Associated landscaping would be provided, including to the John Street and Jockey Street frontages. The appellant states that the design was amended following discussions with the Council and the Design Commission for Wales (DCfW).
10. The adopted Swansea Unitary Development Plan (UDP) supports the principle of higher education campus development in the city centre under its policy HC11 subject to detailed criteria relating, amongst other things, to design and satisfactory access and an appropriate level of parking being provided.
11. Policies EV1 and EV2 of the UDP are general policies concerned with design and siting and set out a number of criteria relating to the objectives of good design and the need to have regard to the physical character and topography of sites and their surroundings. Policy EV2 gives preference to the use of previously developed land. Policy AS6 states that parking provision to serve development will be assessed against the maximum parking standards to ensure there are appropriate levels of parking.
2
Appeal Decision APP/B6855/A/18/3214419
12. The site lies within an area defined in the Council’s adopted Tall Buildings Strategy Supplementary Planning Guidance (the Tall Buildings SPG) as a consider zone where tall buildings may have a positive impact subject to the availability of supporting information to justify the proposals. The Tall Buildings SPG provides a number of design principles, including working with the topography, the relationship to the street, including to the human scale at ground level and adjacent buildings. Tall buildings should be of the highest architectural quality and be of slender proportion and elegant in design with consideration of near, distant and far views and vistas. They should also demonstrate the proximity and accessibility to sustainable transport modes and the quality of links between the same and provide a high quality public realm. Proposals should be accompanied by thorough context analysis including micro-climate assessment and landscape/townscape and visual impact assessment including a stated methodology and verification through recognised methods.
13. I have no reason to disagree that the proposal for student accommodation is acceptable in principle and that it would have the associated benefit of assisting in regenerating this part of the city.
14. The Council refused the proposal in part due to its height, scale and massing and the associated effects on the character and appearance of the area. In this respect, the appellant has provided a design statement addendum for the revised scheme and which includes verified views from five locations around the city. This does not comprise a full landscape/townscape and visual impact assessment but rather a series of photographs and photomontages. It does not provide any methodological analysis of the impact of the development from the chosen viewpoints. The Council similarly has not provided its own landscape/townscape and visual impact assessment but has commented on the appellant’s verified views in its appeal statement. I note its concerns at the impacts from viewpoints 2, 3 and 4. I have no evidence before me that the five views are not representative of the overall views that would arise from the development.
15. I viewed the site itself and the views from the provided locations and other public vantage points on my site visit and am satisfied that I have sufficient information before me to be able to understand and reach a view on the potential landscape/townscape and visual impacts.
16. The 14 storey element of the proposal would clearly be a tall building for the purposes of the Tall Buildings SPG and would be approximately twice the height of the nearest tallest buildings; the university’s business campus and the residential block to the west. It would be highly visible from the surroundings, and from key routes into the city.
17. The 14 storey block would have an overall width when viewed from the east and west of some 31.5 metres. This considerable span, combined with the height, would not, in my assessment, represent a slender and elegant approach to the design. It would be a significant bulk and appear as a monolithic, slab like structure. Viewpoints 2 and 5 represent the impact of the building to the wider views from the east and west. The building would result in an imposing and dominating feature within the townscape from these locations and other public vantage points to the east and west. The impact of the building would be further emphasised when viewed from the east as the tower would break the skyline and sit above the surrounding natural backdrop of the wider landscape. I find this massing and scale would be overly intrusive and harmful in the townscape.
3
Appeal Decision APP/B6855/A/18/3214419
18. Due to the topography, some of the views from the wider town and surrounds would also provide a line of sight to the top of the roof. Whilst I acknowledge that the tower roof has been raked in design to break its flat top, the width of the building results in this feature providing very minor relief to the overall expanse of flat roof. I find this to further emphasise the blocky nature of the building and its inappropriate scale, mass and design.
19. In my assessment, the scale and mass of the building when viewed from closer locations, and in particularly from New Cut Road close to the railway bridge, from Dyfatty Road from the north (represented by viewpoints 1 and 3) and from John Street would also be overwhelming. Whilst the span of the building on a north-south axis would be less at some 15.4 metres, it would nonetheless dominate and impose on closer views. This would be further emphasised, particularly when viewed from the south, by its position on rising ground and close to the railway bridge. The bridge is a strong horizontal element in the townscape. The rising vertical tower close to this bridge would result in it extending far above this feature, further emphasising its domineering characteristics.
20. The site is accessed in part via pedestrian links through tunnels underneath the railway bridge onto New Cut Road. I walked these routes on my site visit. I found them to be dark, imposing and intimidating. The proposed development adjacent to these routes would result in an additional dominating and enclosing element. The development of the tower would not relate to the human scale at street level and I find that it would further reduce the attractiveness of these routes to pedestrians.
21. I do not find that the architectural detailing of the building, including its glazed entrance, materials and fenestration design would overcome the detrimental effect of the overall scale and bulk of the development. Furthermore, no assessment has been provided in respect of the effects of the development on wind tunnelling which is an important aspect of the acceptability of the design for a building of this scale. I note that the scheme was amended following discussions with the DCfW. I have not had sight of any comments from DCfW in respect of the amended design but note that in its comments to the original design it was not specifically prescriptive as to the approach that should be taken. For the reasons given I do not find that the development now proposed is acceptable.
22. I conclude that the proposed development would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area. It would not be in accord with policies HC11, EV1 and EV2 of the UDP and the Tall Buildings SPG.
Highway Safety
23. In policy terms the site lies within the Swansea City Centre central area. This is distinct from the central core where there is no requirement to provide parking to support new developments. The location of the site would require 58 car parking spaces under the Council’s adopted Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Guidance (the Parking Standards SPG). The parking standards for purpose built student accommodation are qualified with a note that there will be flexibility where there is clear evidence that car ownership levels will be lower than normal, including a contractual arrangement with tenants to secure low car ownership levels. In addition it is stated low parking standards required for purpose built student accommodation will be based upon a condition requiring a legal tenancy agreement to prevent students parking on neighbouring streets within a 3 mile radius of the accommodation building, public transport facilities and the provision of a travel plan.
4
Appeal Decision APP/B6855/A/18/3214419
24. The Council contends that the lower parking provision for student accommodation is inherent in the standards that have been set and that the requirement for tenancy agreements is intended to achieve those already set standards. Therefore, the appellant’s case that the standards should be further reduced is not within the terms of the adopted standards.
25. From the evidence before me and from my own observations on site, the site is located in close proximity to the railway station, regular bus services, cycle routes and the city centre. I also note the parties’ agreement that the university’s Mount Pleasant campus is within walking distance, other campuses are accessible via cycle and bus and the business school is located to the immediate south. As such I concur with the view that the site is located in a sustainable location.
26. I am satisfied that the sustainable location of the site would have the potential to reduce the demand for car use. I am also satisfied that measures to control the drop off/pick up of students would assist in the management of the peak periods and tenancy agreements would deter students from having cars. However, the obligations in the Unilateral Undertaking provided by the appellant do not necessarily secure these measures. The obligation relating to car parking management states that parking on the site will accord with the car park management plan. This is referred to in the interpretation section as “the car park management plan to be agreed between the developer and the Council”. I have not been provided with an agreed plan and I am unable to reach a view on its effectiveness in its absence. Nonetheless, I am satisfied that a suitably worded condition could ensure that an appropriate management plan was put in place.
27. The second obligation in the Unilateral Undertaking states that prior to the first occupation of any accommodation unit the written approval of the Council will be obtained to the form of the tenancy agreement to be used for each of the accommodation units in respect of the allocation of car parking spaces. Again, I have not been provided with an agreed tenancy agreement and even if I had, there is no implementation clause that secures it being put in place. As such I am unable to afford this obligation any weight in my considerations.
28. However, even if these measures were in place, it is inevitable that measures to manage drop off/pick up times are vulnerable to difficulties due to unforeseen circumstances. This could result in greater number of cars arriving at the same time. Public car parks are located at distances that would mean they are unlikely to provide a realistic option for dropping off/picking up students’ belongings.
29. If car ownership was restricted, the pedestrian link to the east onto New Cut Road is poor and provides an intimidating route to the city. I find this would reduce its desirability for use by pedestrians wishing to access some bus services and parts of the city particularly at night and who would thus seek other options to access such services, such as using private cars or taxis.
30. The plans also include the provision of a commercial unit and the appellant’s transport assessment acknowledges that the proposal would have the potential to generate staff movements associated with both this use and the student accommodation. It is contended that this would be similar to the movements associated with the previous use of the site but no comparative trip data for the previous use has been provided to substantiate that contention.
31. In light of the above, I find that despite the sustainable location of the site and irrespective of the efficacy of the obligations offered, there are likely to be a number
5
Appeal Decision APP/B6855/A/18/3214419
of vehicular movements associated with the proposed development. These would include some staff, maintenance personnel, deliveries and visitors. The provision of only 4 car parking spaces for a development of this scale falls severely short of the Council’s parking standards, and which the Council states have already taken account of potential measures to reduce car ownership for student accommodation. I acknowledge that the standards allow for flexibility and policy AS6 identifies that these are maximum standards. However, I find that the demands of the development, even with the proposed measures in place, mean that there would not be a sufficient level of parking to ensure that there would not be additional pressure on nearby streets to accommodate such parking.
32. I noted on my site visit that the network of roads in the immediate vicinity of the site serve a number of different uses, including the residential block, the university’s business school, the dance school and Friendship House. On street parking is restricted by a number of measures. There is limited on street parking available in the local area with the now vacant appeal site being used at the time of my visit for a considerable amount of parking. This suggests that there would be other demands on any available nearby parking. In my assessment, the nearby streets would have limited capacity to meet any additional demand for parking resulting from the proposed development.
33. The pressure on the restricted and constrained surrounding streets for parking would give rise to the potential for associated risks to highway safety. Whilst the restrictive measures to prohibit parking are able to be enforced, I do not find this in itself to be sufficient to justify a development that provides such a small number of parking spaces with the associated potential for pressure for parking elsewhere. In addition, both John Street and Jockey Street are narrow roads culminating in a cul de sac. The absence of available parking would potentially result in cars reversing or attempting to turn in an area that is constrained and in close proximity to the main entrances to the student accommodation itself, some of the parking for the adjacent business school and residences and close to a tight bend where John Street joins Jockey Street. I find this would lead to an unacceptable conflict between highway users.
34. I conclude that the proposal would cause an unacceptable risk to highway safety as a result of a lack of parking provision. It would not accord with UDP policies HC11, EV1 and AS6 or the Parking Standards SPG.
Other Matters
35. I note there is an increasing demand for additional student accommodation in the area. I also acknowledge the benefits arising from the regeneration of a brownfield site and the resulting positive effects for the wider area particularly so close to the city centre. I have also taken into account the enhancements to the local highway and public realm infrastructure that would be gained from the financial contribution offered in the third obligation in the Unilateral Undertaking and which I find to be a reasonable and necessary requirement for this development. However, whilst I give these matters considerable weight, I do not find them to be sufficient to outweigh the harm that I have identified would arise from the particular scheme before me.
Conclusion
36. I conclude that the proposal would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area and would result in an unacceptable risk to highway safety as a result of the lack of parking provision. It would not be in accord with policies HC11, EV1, EV2 and AS6
6
Appeal Decision APP/B6855/A/18/3214419
of the UDP, its associated Tall Buildings and Parking Standards SPGs or conform with the primary objectives of PPW when read as a whole.
37. I have taken into account all other matters raised including the recommendation of approval by the Council’s officers and the other decisions cited by the appellant. However, no matters outweigh the harm that I have identified. For the reasons above I dismiss the appeal.
38. In reaching this decision, I have taken into account the requirements of sections 3 and 5 of the Well Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. I consider that this decision is in accord with the Act’s sustainable development principle through its contribution towards one or more of the Welsh Minister’s well-being objectives as required by section 8 of the WBFG Act.

Where the Tenant requests the Landlord to send the Deposit (or balance of it) to an overseas bank account the Landlord shall be entitled to deduct the sum of £20 from the Deposit to cover the cost of banking fee and transfer fee incurred by the Landlord. If any of the deposit is due to be returned at the end of the tenancy the Landlord will pay the refund to the Tenant, irrespective of who paid the Deposit to the Landlord at the start of tenancy. (If the Deposit is held by one of the authorised deposit protection schemes, the Deposit will be returned according to the rules of the relevant scheme).
6 Other Conditions
6.1 subject to the rules of the authorised tenancy deposit protection scheme, the Landlord shall be entitled to use the Deposit (or a proper proportion of it) or invoice the Tenant for: 6.1.1 any damage, or compensation for damage, to the Accommodation and a share of any damage or compensation for damage to the Common Parts and their respective Contents for which the Tenant may be liable, subject to an apportionment or allowance for fair wear and tear, the age of condition of each and any such item at the start of the Tenancy Period, damage by insured risks and repairs that are the responsibility of the Landlord. 6.1.2 The reasonable costs incurred in compensation the Landlord and/or the Agent for, or for rectifying or remedying, any major breach by the Tenant of the Tenant’s obligations in this tenancy agreement, including those relating to the cleaning of the Accommodation and the Common Parts and their respective Contents. 6.1.3 Any unpaid account for utilities or other similar services or Council Tac incurred at the Accommodation for which the Tenant is liable. 6.1.4 Any Rent, Fees or other money dye or payable by the Tenant under this tenancy agreement of which the Tenant has been made aware and which remains unpaid after the end of the tenancy. 6.1.5 Any loss arising as a result of any breach by the Tenant of their obligations in this tenancy agreement (including any non-payment of any sum which the Tenant should have paid and the Landlord’s and Agent’s proper and reasonable costs of enforcing or attempting to enforce the Tenant’s obligations and the costs of instructing advisers)
6.2 The Tenant and the Guarantor hereby authorise the Landlord and the Agent to use their personal data for all lawful purposes in connection with this tenancy agreement (including debt recovery, crime prevention, allocating rooms or where there is a serious risk of harm to the Tenant or to others at the Building or to the Landlord’s or other people’s property). The Landlord may share some information about the Tenant with the Tenant’s educational institution and/or with the Guarantor where it is reasonable and appropriate to do so. Sharing of information will usually only occur where there is a cause for concern regarding student care, welfare or behaviour or material breaches of the Tenant’s obligations in this tenancy agreement for the avoidance of doubt the Tenant hereby authorises the Landlord to share the Tenant’s sensitive personal data with the Tenant’s educational institution and/or with the Guarantor for all reasonable purposes connected with the tenancy and authorises the Tenant’s educational institution to provide the Landlord with the Tenant’s home and/or forwarding address. If the Tenant has not complied with their obligations in this tenancy agreement the Landlord may refuse to give a reference or may give an adverse reference as long as it is factually correct.
6.3 The Landlord’s and the Agent’s liability for loss or damage to person or property is excluded unless the loss or damage is caused by (respectively) the Landlord’s or the Agent’s negligence, breach of statutory duty or breach of obligation in this tenancy agreement (which includes the acts or omissions of (respectively) the Landlord’s or the Agent’s employees and agents).
6.4 The Landlord is not liable to repair any damage caused by the Tenant (or their visitor) unless and until the cost is met by insurance or by the Tenant (any Excess on the policy being payable by the Tenant) or unless the Landlord has statutory obligation to do so. If the landlord has a statutory obligation to repair the Landlord may nevertheless claim the cost of doing so from the Tenant where it was the Tenant who caused the need for repair. If the Landlord (acting reasonably and after proper investigation) is persuaded that the Tenant (or their visitor) caused damage deliberately or recklessly, the Landlord may claim the cost of repair from the Tenant instead of claimant against insurance.
6.5 The Landlord may temporarily suspend use of the Common Parts if they are not kept in a clean and tidy Condition by the residents using them (provided that this does not create health risk).
6.6 Items belonging to students 6.6.1 the Landlord is entitled to remove from the Accommodation or the Common Parts any article which constitutes an obstruction or a fire or health or safety risk or which (in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion) is likely to cause damage to the Building but (unless perishable) will if requested return it to the Tenant on the termination of the tenancy (proper and reasonable removal and storage costs being payable by the Tenant). 6.6.2 The landlord will not be an involuntary bailee. This means that the Landlord is entitled to remove any item left at the Building by the Tenant at the end of the Tenancy Period. The Landlord shall have no responsibility to take care of any item the Tenant leaves at the Building when the tenancy ends or return it to the Tenant.
6.7 The parties to this tenancy agreement are the Tenant and the Landlord. It is not intended that the Agreement confers any benefit to anyone who is not a party to it other than the Agent.
7 Parking Restrictions
7.1 The Tenant agrees that no vehicles belonging to the Tenant will be parked within 3 miles of the Accommodation. The Tenant is only permitted to bring a bicycle within 3 miles of the Accommodation. 7.2 The Tenant agrees that if clause 7.1 is breached the Landlord has the right to terminate the Tenancy.
8 Termination of this tenancy agreement by the Landlord
8.1 The Landlord may terminate this tenancy agreement at any time before the first day of the Tenancy Period if the Tenant is not able to start or continue their course of study at their chosen university or college. The Tenant must notify the Agent within 3 workings days of becoming aware that s/he will not be able to continue with his/her course.
8.2 The Landlord may terminate this tenancy agreement at any time before the Tenant takes occupation if the Tenant has not by then paid the Deposit or provided the guarantor.
8.3 Unless the Tenant has made arrangements with the Landlord for late arrival the Landlord shall be entitled to terminate this tenancy agreement at any time before the Tenant takes occupation, without notice to the Tenant, if the Tenant has not taken up residence within 3 days of the start of the Tenancy Period but the Tenant will be liable for the Rent up to and including the date of termination.
8.4 The landlord shall be entitled to terminate the tenancy and apply to court for possession of the Accommodation if any of the Grounds numbered 2, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 17 in Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988 exists or arises. This will not release the Tenant from any liabilities the Tenant has already incurred. (The grounds can be seen in detail at www.legislation.gov.uk).
8.5 The landlord shall be entitled to terminate the tenancy due to the noncompliance of the terms of this agreement.
8.6 If the tenant wishes to cancel this tenancy agreement once the tenancy has started, the Tenant will be liable for the Rent and instalment charge (if applicable) for the full Tenancy Period or, if shorter, for the period until a replacement tenant takes over responsibility for payment. If a replacement tenant is found, the Tenant will be liable for the Landlord’s administration Fee of £50.00 for dealing with the changeover. This fee is payable at the time of the changeover or by agreed deduction from the Deposit. On payment of the administration Fee and commencement of the new tenancy, the Landlord will release the Tenant from this tenancy agreement.
8.7 The Landlord reserves the tight to relocate the Tenant to comparable alternative accommodation during the Tenancy Period where it is reasonable to do so but, unless the relocation is at the Tenant’s request or because the Tenant is in serious or persistent breach of one or more of their obligations in this tenancy agreement, the Tenant will have the right to terminate this tenancy agreement (without having to comply with the conditions in clause 7.5) as an alternative to relocating.
8.8 If the Landlord relocated the Tenant at the Tenant’s request or because the Tenant is in serious or persistent breach of one or more of their obligations in this tenancy agreement:
8.8.1 The Landlord shall be entitled to charge the tenant a £50 administration Fee for dealing with the transfer;
8.8.2 The Tenant will surrender their tenancy of the accommodation on the day they leave it and on the same day take a tenancy of the new accommodation for the remainder of the Tenancy Period;
8.8.3 The tenancy of the new accommodation will be on the terms of this tenancy agreement, except for the description of the accommodation (which may be amended by a memorandum signed by both parties);
8.8.4 The Tenant and their Guarantor will be liable to pay the higher rent, from the date the Tenant is given access to the more expensive accommodation if the Tenant requests a move to more expensive Accommodation.
8.9 If the Accommodation is not immediately available for occupation at the start of the Tenancy period the Landlord may provide either
8.9.1 Temporary alternative accommodation (if the problem is likely to be resolved in the short term); or
8.9.2 Permanent alternative accommodation (if the problem is unlikely to be resolved in the first 4 weeks of the Tenancy Period).
8.10 Temporary alternative accommodation may be in a hotel, hostel, guest house or similar and the Tenant will accept the substitute for a period of 4 weeks without alteration to the Rent. If the Accommodation is still not available for occupation 4 weeks after the start of the Tenancy Period, the Landlord will either:
8.10.1 offer the Tenant permanent alternative accommodation; or
8.10.2 Continue to provide temporary alternative accommodation PROVIDED THAT the Tenant shall have the tight to terminate this tenancy agreement (without having to comply with the conditions in clause 7.5), if they do not wish to continue living in temporary alternative accommodation.
8.11 Permanent alternative accommodation will be in a house, flat, studio or hall of residence of a similar standard accommodation (or better) without alteration to the Rent. The Tenant will accept the permanent alternative if it has similar levels of amenity and is not more than 1 Km further from their place of study than the Accommodation.
8.12 If the Accommodation is not available for occupation at the start of the Tenancy Period and the Landlord (despite reasonable endeavours) is not able to provide alternative accommodation, the Tenant is entitled to a refund of all pre-payments s/he has made to the Landlord and shall have no further liability under this tenancy agreement.

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. TRICS 7.6.2 250719 B19.14 Database right of TRICS Consortium Limited, 2019.

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. TRICS 7.6.2 250719 B19.14 Database right of TRICS Consortium Limited, 2019.

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.
