Forth Homes to advise on the traffic and transport issues relating to a planning application for a residential development on land to the east of Park View in the Thornton area of Sefton. 1.1.2 The location of the site is shown on Plan 1. 1.1.3 The report provides information on the traffic and transport planning aspects of the development proposals and assist the local planning authority in the positive determination of the forthcoming planning application. 1.1.4 Following this introduction, Section 2 provides a description of the existing site and the development proposals and Section 3 discusses the relevant national and local planning policies. Section 4 provides an assessment of the accessibility of the site by non-car modes including a MASA assessment, before Section 5 discusses promotion of smarter ways to travel from the site. Section 6 analyses the traffic impact of the proposed development. 1.1.5 Section 7 will include details of the accident statistics on the surrounding highway network. Section 8 draws together the conclusions to this report. Page 5 Proposed Residential Development – Park View, Thornton, Sefton Transport Assessment 2 DEVELOPMENT SITE AND PROPOSALS 2.1 Existing Site 2.1.1 The site is located in the Thornton area of Sefton, north-east of Crosby. The site is roughly bordered to the north by the A565, to the east by new residential development off Holgate, to the south by existing residential development on Holgate Park and to the west by the A565 Park View. 2.1.2 The site is allocated for residential development in the Sefton Local Plan and is referred to as MN2.25 and will be developed for around 221 dwellings. 2.1.3 The site is currently vacant land and has no formal vehicular access. 2.1.4 The image below provides some context to the location of the site. The ‘olive’ coloured sites are the allocated residential sites in the area. As will be detailed later in this report, the sites MN2.26 and MN2.27 have received planning consent and this site is MN2.25. The site on the western side of Park View is MN2.24 and is also allocated for residential but an application has yet to come forward. Page 6 Proposed Residential Development – Park View, Thornton, Sefton Transport Assessment 2.2 Highway Network 2.2.1 The site is located east of the A565 Park View. This is a single carriageway road that runs in a roughly north-south alignment from the roundabout to the north of the site with the east-west section of the A565 past the site where it flows into Quarry Road. The road is street-lit and has footways on both sides, to the south of the sit. In the vicinity of the site the road is approximately 10 metres wide. Park View is subject to a 30mph speed limit. 2.2.2 The Park View junction with Green Lane is signal controlled. Green Lane then travels east into Lydiate Lane that runs to the south of the site. Page 7 Proposed Residential Development – Park View, Thornton, Sefton Transport Assessment 2.2.3 Lydiate Lane is a two-way single carriageway with one lane in each direction. Lydiate

  • Extract @ 25 September 2019
    Revised Draft (Members Forum) WARRINGTON FOURTH LOCAL TRANSPORT PLAN (Extract @ 25 September 2019) Part A Defining Our Vision Foreword I am delighted to present Warrington’s fourth Local Transport Plan. This is a Local Transport Plan that will support the continued economic success of Warrington, the people who live here, and the companies that choose to do business here. One of the challenges that we have faced in the development of the Plan has been tackling the impact of local air pollution that is caused by emissions from road vehicles. This has a detrimental impact on people’s health in Warrington, particularly in locations close to the major roads in and around the town centre. Congestion in these locations contributes to high levels of nitrous oxides that exceed national standards. Another challenge that we are aiming to tackle is reducing emissions from our transport network of the Greenhouse Gases that contribute to global climate change. We have therefore set out a vision in this Plan that will transform the way that we all travel around Warrington. This will reduce the problems that high car dependency and congestion can cause by making walking, cycling, and public transport more attractive options for all of the journeys that we make. It will encourage us to lead healthier lifestyles and support the creation of a more pleasant place for us all to live and work in. The proposals for significantly increasing the use of sustainable travel modes are supported by a programme of major transport infrastructure improvements. This includes the Western Link, a new high level bridge across the Manchester Ship Canal that has been granted Programme Entry status by the Department for Transport.
