Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326 1 Introduction

1.1.1 DHA has been commissioned by Esquire Developments to provide transport planning advice in relation to the proposed development at Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing, near Sittingbourne, Kent.

1.1.2 It is noted that the site benefits from extant planning consent (Planning Application Reference: 18/500258) for “the provision of a three-unit accommodation building, car park and outdoor event space, the erection of 20 private residential dwellings together with associated access, parking, highway works, drainage and landscaping”. The current development proposals seek to provide a similar scheme, with an additional ten residential units and a significant upgrade to the A2 Keycol Hill / Rook Lane junction.

1.1.3 This Transport Statement (TS) has been produced in accordance with the Planning Practice Guidance (March 2014). Following this introduction, the TS is structured as follows:-

• Section 2 summarises the existing transport conditions local to the site;

• Section 3 sets out the development proposals;

• Section 4 provides an assessment of compliance with transport planning policy;

• Section 5 looks at the forecast vehicular trip generation of the proposals and;

• Section 6 provides a summary and conclusion.

1.1.4 The proposals have been the subject of pre-application discussion with Kent County Council Highways and Transportation (KCC H&T).

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326 2 Existing Transport Conditions

2.1 The Existing Site

2.1.1 The site is located to the north of the A2 Keycol Hill in Bobbing, approximately 3 km to the west of Sittingbourne. Figure 2-1 below shows the site in a local context.

Site Location

2.1.2 At present, the site comprises an open, agricultural field. It is bound to the southeast and west by residential dwellings and by agricultural fields to the north and east. Demelza House Children’s Hospice is located to the west.

2.2 Local Highway Network

2.2.1 Rook Lane bounds the site to the west, measuring between 5.0 and 6.0 metres in width, allowing for two-way vehicle movements. It is a rural road subject to a national speed limit restriction. Sporadic street lighting is provided throughout its length. A traffic calming feature is provided in the form of a build out, narrowing vehicle flows to one-way, within the vicinity of the junction with the A2 Keycol Hill. Keycol Hill bounds the site to the south. It measures 6.7 metres in width and is subject to a 40mph speed limit within the vicinity of Rook Lane.

2.2.2 Access to the wider highway network is achieved via the A2 Keycol Hill. To the west, the A2 continues to the Medway Towns and to the east, it connects with the A249 which links the Isle of Sheppey and Maidstone via M2 Junction 5.

2.2.3 It is therefore evident that the site enjoys ready access to a range of local and regional destinations via the primary and strategic route networks.

2.3 Walking and Cycling Infrastructure

2.3.1 Rook Lane is not currently provided with formal footway infrastructure; however Keycol Hill is provided with a footway on its northern side measuring up to 2.0 metres in width.

There are also a number of Public Rights of Way (PRoW) within the vicinity of the site, as shown in Table 2-2 below. Footpath ZR105 routes from Rook Lane across the railway line in the north leading towards Lower Halstow. Further PRoWs can be accessed from Footpath ZR105, providing the site with wider, local connectivity.

Site Location

2.3.3 National Cycle Route 1 lies to the north of the site and can be accessed at Stickfast Lane, or at School Lane in Newington to the west, as shown in Figure 2-3 overleaf. This provides a continuous route along the east coast of England and provides local connectivity between the Medway Towns and Sittingbourne. At Howt Green, the route connects with National Cycle Route 174 towards Minster, on the Isle of Sheppey.

2.4 Public Transport Infrastructure

2.4.1 The closest bus stops to the site are located on Keycol Hill, immediately adjacent to the proposed site access. These stops are served by a number of routes, which have been summarised in Table 2-1 below.

Service No. Route Weekday Frequency Sittingbourne – Rainham – Gillingham – 326 Five services Chatham Sittingbourne – Upchurch – Rainham – 327 Six services Gillingham - Chatham 328 Sittingbourne – Upchurch - Rainham One service Sittingbourne Schools – Lower Halstow – 372 School service Upchurch

Table 2-1: Local Bus Routes and Frequencies

2.4.2 Newington Railway Station is located 1.8km to the west of the site. This station provides access to London Victoria and Dover Priory via the Medway Towns, Sittingbourne and Canterbury at a frequency of one service per hour in each direction. Additional High Speed services to London St Pancras International can be accessed at Sittingbourne Railway Station.

2.5 Accessibility

2.5.1 The accessibility of the site is reflective of its semi-rural setting. Nevertheless, a number of local services and facilities are located within an acceptable walking distance, as accepted by the Local Planning and Highway Authorities previously. These include – but are not limited to – a convenience store, railway station and primary school. A summary of walking distances, measured along walking routes and not taken ‘as the crow flies’, is provided in Table 2-2 overleaf.

Page 5 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326

2.5.2 The walk times provided above are based on a walk speed of 80m per minute, a figure which is widely used to estimate walk times and forms the basis of the London Based Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) analysis. It aims to provide a typical average value that estimates it takes 5 minutes to walk 400m, 10 minutes to walk 800m and so on.

Facility Walk Distance (m) Walk Time (Minutes) Bus Stop <50m <1 minute Demelza House Children’s 200m 3 minutes Hospice Public House 1,200m 16 minutes Sittingbourne Rugby Club 1,400m 19 minutes Newington Village Hall 1,800m 23 minutes Newington Co-Op Store 1,900m 24 minutes Newington Post Office 1,900m 24 minutes Newington Surgery 1,900m 24 minutes Brewers Fayre Restaurant / 2,000m 25 minutes McDonalds Newington Railway Station 2,100m 26 minutes Westlands School, 2,200m 28 minutes Sittingbourne Newington Primary School 2,500m 31 minutes

Table 2-2: Site Accessibility

2.6 Highway Safety

2.6.1 Personal Injury Accident (PIA) data has been sourced from Kent County Council (KCC) for the area surrounding the application site for the most recent three-year study period up to, and including, 30th September 2020. The accident plot and associated crash report are included at Appendix A.

2.6.2 A total of four incidents were recorded, of which three were classified as ‘slight’ in severity and one as ‘serious’. All of the recorded incidents took place along the A2 Keycol Hill, to the east of the Rook Lane junction, in dry, fine conditions.

2.6.3 The ‘serious’ incident occurred when a motorcycle hit a pot hole whilst overtaking a parked vehicle, causing the motorcyclist to collide with the vehicle.

2.6.4 One incident occurred approximately 10m to the east of the A2 Keycol Hill / Rook Lane junction. This involved a collision between four vehicles, one of which was a goods vehicle. The incident occurred as a vehicle travelling west on the A2 collided with the goods vehicle which was waiting stationary. This resulted in rear end shunts with the two vehicles in front of the goods vehicle.

2.6.5 The further two incidents took place when two vehicles collided with each other. The first of these incidents occurred when the driver of a vehicle swerved when something ran out in front of a car parked on a solid white line on the pavement. The moving vehicle then collided with the parked car. The second incident took place when a car travelling on the A2 slowed for a dust cart in the opposing lane.

Page 6 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326

A goods vehicle did not anticipate this deceleration and collided with the rear of the car.

It is apparent that the primary cause of the recorded incidents was human error, rather than any fault with the highway layout or condition. As such, the proposed development is unlikely to exacerbate any pre-existing highway safety concerns.

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326 3 Development Proposals

3.1 Overview

3.1.1 The proposed development comprises the construction of 30 residential dwellings, together with nurses accommodation for Demelza House Children’s Hospice and associated car parking.

3.1.2 The proposed site layout is included at Appendix B.

3.2 Access

3.2.1 The A2 Keycol Hill / Rook Lane junction will be upgraded to accommodate the development proposals. The existing junction is substandard in terms of carriageway width and visibility and as such, the proposals seek to provide a significant improvement to this. It is noted in this respect that the extant planning consent provided for a more minor relocation of the junction 11.0m to the east of the existing location.

3.2.2 The existing junction will be stopped up and re-positioned centrally on the site frontage to Keycol Hill. It will be widened to 5.5 metres to accommodate two- way vehicle movements and will tie in to the existing road alignment approximately 40m from the existing junction location. Footways measuring 1.8m in width will be developed on both sides of the road, connecting with the existing footway provision on Keycol Hill.

3.2.3 By repositioning the junction, visibility splays of 2.4m by 120m can be achieved in both directions, in accordance with Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) standards for the 40mph posted speed limit on Keycol Hill. This represents a significant betterment to the existing situation, where the visibility splay to the west is just 2.4m by 63m, with associated highway safety benefits. The proposed junction design is included at Appendix C.

3.2.4 The internal residential spine road will be provided in the form of a shared surface and will measure 6.0m in width, ensuring two-way vehicle movements.

3.2.5 The access to the nurses accommodation and car park will be taken from Rook Lane, 15.0m to the south of the existing Demelza House access. This can achieve visibility splays of 2.4m by 43m, in accordance with KCC guidance.

3.2.6 The realigned section of Rook Lane to the junction with Keycol Hill will be offered for adoption by KCC H&T. The remainder of the development will be privately maintainable.

Road Safety Audit

3.2.7 An independent Stage 1 Road Safety Audit (RSA) of the proposed site access design is currently being undertaken and will be submitted in the form of an addendum to this report for consideration by the Local Planning and Highway Authorities

Page 8 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326

3.3 Parking

3.3.1 A total of 103 parking spaces will be provided within the residential element of the site, including car barn spaces. Of these, seven will be provided as visitor spaces, in accordance with Swale Borough Council’s parking standards for rural locations.

3.3.2 A new car park comprising 80 spaces is also proposed to the north of the site for use by Demelza House Children’s Hospice, of which six will be disabled bays. A pick-up/drop-off area will be provided within this facility, with a length of approximately 12.0 metres. This will accommodate the existing and long-term aspirations of the site, ensuring that all users can be catered for within the site confines. This element of the proposals remains as per the previously consented scheme and is therefore considered acceptable by Swale Borough Council and KCC H&T.

3.3.3 Cycle parking will be provided within residential curtilages in accordance with Swale Borough Council’s parking standards.

3.4 Site Servicing

3.4.1 To ensure that the proposed site layout is accessible to service vehicles, swept path analysis has been undertaken. A refuse vehicle, pantechnicon, estate car and fire tender have been assessed. The associated drawings are included at Appendix D.

3.4.2 The drawings demonstrate that the site layout can comfortably accommodate these larger vehicle movements, ensuring that accessibility to all properties is maintained and that they can access and egress the site in a forward gear.

3.5 Construction Traffic

3.5.1 Site offices and welfare facilities will be located on the construction site. Wheel washing equipment will be provided as necessary for construction phases. Access to the construction site will be secured and operated in accordance with current health and safety legislation. Delivery and construction HGV traffic will be accommodated on the construction site, with no requirement for waiting on the public highway. Daily movements of goods vehicles in particular will be timed to avoid peak traffic times.

3.5.2 Third party suppliers and contractors visiting the site will be made aware of the construction access and routeing arrangements at the start of the project. Site management will ensure compliance with the construction access arrangements.

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326 4 Transport Planning Policy

4.1 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, 2019)

4.1.1 The NPPF sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these should be applied. It provides a framework within which locally-prepared plans for housing and other developments can be produced. The NPPF is a material consideration in planning decisions.

4.1.2 At the heart of the NPPF is a presumption in favour of sustainable development. This is reflected in Section 9 of the document where it is noted that significant development should be focused on locations which are or can be made sustainable, through limiting the need to travel and offering genuine choice of transport modes. The NPPF advises that in assessing sites, it should be ensured that:-

(a) “Appropriate opportunities to promote sustainable transport modes can be – or have been – taken up, given the type of development and its location;

(b) Safe and suitable access to the site can be achieved for all users; and

(c) 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.”

4.1.3 Paragraph 109 states that: “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.”

4.1.4 Paragraph 110 then goes on to note that applications for development should:-

(a) “Give priority first to pedestrian and cycle movements, both within the scheme and with neighbouring areas; and second – so far as possible – to facilitating access to high-quality public transport, with layouts that maximise the catchment area for bus or other public transport services, and appropriate facilities that encourage public transport use;

(b) Address the needs of people with disabilities and reduced mobility in relation to all modes of transport;

(c) Create places that are safe, secure and attractive – which minimise the scope for conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, avoid unnecessary street clutter, and respond to local character and design standards;

(d) Allow for the efficient delivery of goods, and access by service and emergency vehicles; and

(e) Be designed to enable charging of plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles in safe, accessible and convenient locations.”

Page 10 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326

4.1.5 All developments that will generate significant amounts of movement should be required to provide a Travel Plan, and the application should be supported by a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment so that the likely impacts of the proposal can be assessed.

4.2 Planning Practice Guidance

4.2.1 The PPG was published in March 2014 as a supporting resource in conjunction with the NPPF, which is also a material consideration in determining planning applications. With respect to transport, the PPG includes a section titled ‘Travel Plans, Transport Assessments and Statements in Decision-Taking’. This provides general guidance on the process of producing these documents, from which the following key points are expressed.

4.2.2 With regard to the purpose of a Transport Assessment or Statement, it is noted that:-

“The Transport Assessment or Transport Statement may propose mitigation measures where these are necessary to avoid unacceptable or “severe” impacts. Travel Plans can play an effective role in taking forward those mitigation measures which relate to on-going occupation and operation of the development.”

4.2.3 In terms of parking provision, the requirements are set out by local guidance (see below); however, further to the NPPF, the following should be taken into consideration (Paragraph 8):-

“Maximum parking standards can lead to poor quality development and congested streets, local planning authorities should seek to ensure parking provision is appropriate to the needs of the development and not reduced below a level that could be considered reasonable.”

4.3 Local Transport Plan 4 (LTP4) for Kent

4.3.1 The LTP4 was prepared by KCC and runs from 2016 to 2031. The Plan includes details on how KCC will meet their ambition for Kent which is:-

“To deliver safe and effective transport, ensuring that all Kent’s communities and businesses benefit, the environment is enhanced and economic growth is supported.”

4.3.2 This ambition will be realised through five targeted, overarching policies which aim to deliver specific outcomes for the county:-

• “Outcome 1: Economic growth and minimised congestion

Policy: Deliver resilient transport infrastructure and schemes that reduce congestion and improve journey time reliability to enable economic growth and appropriate development, meeting demand from a growing population.

• Outcome 2: Affordable and accessible door-to-door journeys

Page 11 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326

Policy: Promote affordable, accessible and connected transport to enable access for all to jobs, education, health and other services.

• Outcome 3: Safer travel

Policy: Provide a safer road, footway and cycleway network to reduce the likelihood of casualties, and encourage other transport providers to improve safety on their networks.

• Outcome 4: Enhanced environment

Policy: Deliver schemes to reduce the environmental footprint of transport, and enhance the historic and natural environment.

• Outcome 5: Better health and wellbeing

Policy: Provide and promote active travel choices for all members of the community to encourage good health and wellbeing, and implement measures to improve local air quality.”

4.3.3 Within LTP4, KCC outline strategic, countywide and local strategies for achieving the above outcomes, whilst continuing to promote and deliver “Growth without Gridlock”.

4.4 Bearing Fruits 2031: The Swale Borough Local Plan (2017)

4.4.1 The Swale Borough Local Plan was adopted in 2017. By 2031, the Borough Council’s Vision for Swale is that:-

“We have harnessed our assets – a strategic location, diverse communities and an outstanding natural environment – and are a sustainable, flourishing place in which to enjoy life and do business”.

4.4.2 To achieve this Vision, a number of core objectives have been identified. Of particular relevance are Objectives 11 and 12, which aim to:-

“11. Improve prosperity and environmental quality with efficient and sustainable transport networks.

12. Ensure timely delivery of the services and infrastructure to support strong communities.”

4.4.3 Policy CP2 seeks to encourage sustainable development in Swale, and with respect to transport notes that:-

“New development will be located in accordance with Policy ST1 to Policy ST7, Local Plan allocations, approved Neighbourhood Plans and Community Right to Build initiatives, which minimise the need to travel for employment and services and facilitate sustainable transport. Actions by the public, private and voluntary sector will adopt an integrated approach to the provision of transport infrastructure. Development proposals will, as appropriate:-

Page 12 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326

1. Contribute to transport network improvements, where capacity is exceeded and or safety standards are unacceptably compromised, with particular emphasis on those identified in the Infrastructure Delivery Schedule;

2. Make best use of capacity in the network by working together with transport providers to improve the transport network in the most sustainable way, and extending it where necessary, as demonstrated by Transport Assessments and Travel Plans in support of development proposals;

3. Support the provision of major new transport infrastructure in accordance with national and local transport strategies;

4. Maintain and improve the highway network at key points to improve traffic flows and respond to the impact of new development and regeneration, as set out in the Local Transport Strategy;

5. Improve safety, through measures such as adequate parking, lighting and traffic management schemes;

6. Achieve alternative access to all services through promoting access to sustainable forms of transport particularly bus, cycling and rail transport and improving interchange between them from the earliest stages of development;

7. Provide integrated walking and cycling routes to link existing and new communities with local services and facilities, public transport and the Green Grid network; and

8. Facilitate greater use of waterways for commercial traffic, where this would not have an unacceptable adverse environmental impact, through working with the Port of Sheerness and other bodies.”

4.4.4 Policy DM6 relates to the management of the demand and impacts of transport, and states that development proposals should comply with the following criteria:-

“1. Development proposals generating a significant amount of transport movements will be required to support their proposal with the preparation of a Transport Assessment (including a Travel Plan), which will be based on the Council's most recent strategic modelling work. The Highways Agency may also require a Transport Assessment if development is deemed to impact on the strategic road network.

2. In assessing impacts on the highway network, development proposals will:-

a. demonstrate that opportunities for sustainable transport modes have been taken up;

b. where the residual cumulative impact of development on traffic generation would be in excess of the capacity of the highway network and/or lead to a decrease in safety, environmentally

Page 13 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326

acceptable improvements to the network agreed by the Borough Council and the Highway Authority will be expected. Such works will be carried out by the developer or a contribution made towards them in accordance with Policy CP6. If such works cannot be carried out and the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe, then the development will be refused;

c. avoid the formation of a new direct access onto the strategic or primary distributor route network where possible, or unless identified by the Local Plan. Other proposals for new access onto the networks will need to demonstrate that they can be created in a location acceptable to the Borough Council and appropriate Highway Authority. Proposals involving intensification of any existing access onto a strategic, primary or other route will need to demonstrate that it is of a suitable capacity and safety standard or can be improved to achieve such a standard;

d. integrate air quality management and environmental quality into the location and design of, and access to, development and, in so doing, demonstrate that proposals do not worsen air quality to an unacceptable degree especially taking into account the cumulative impact of development schemes within or likely to impact on Air Quality Management Areas; and

e. not result in the loss of usable wharfage or rail facilities.

3. The location, design and layout of development proposals will demonstrate that:-

a. priority is given to the needs of pedestrians and cyclists, including the disabled, through the provision of safe routes which minimise cyclist/pedestrian and traffic conflict within the site and which connect to local services and facilities;

b. existing public rights of way are retained, or exceptionally diverted, and new routes created in appropriate locations;

c. access to public transport is integrated into site design and layout where appropriate;

d. the safe and efficient delivery of goods and supplies and access for emergency and utility vehicles can be accommodated; and

e. it includes facilities for charging plug-in and other ultra low emission vehicles on major developments.”

4.5 Swale Borough Council Parking Standards

4.5.1 Residential parking policy is set out in the Swale Borough Council Parking Standards (2020) document. For sites in Rural locations, the guidance sets ‘Recommended’ parking standards based on dwelling type as follows:-

• For 1 and 2 bed flats – 1 space per unit (unallocated);

Page 14 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326

• For 1 and 2 bed houses – 2 spaces per unit;

• For 3 bed houses – 3+ spaces per unit; and

• For 4+ bed houses – 3+ spaces per unit.

4.5.2 Further to this, an additional 0.2 spaces per unit should be provided for visitor parking.

4.5.3 It is noted that for 1 and 2 bed houses and above, some allocation of spaces is recommended; however, it is not necessary to allocate all spaces. For example, for four bed units in rural locations, two spaces could be provided on-plot with a third placed on-street to allow for flexibility within the standard and for “opportunity parking” to be taken advantage of, acknowledging that different households will have different parking requirements and that to allocate all spaces will reduce flexibility.

4.5.4 Cycle parking should be provided at a rate of one space per bedroom, with provision normally provided within the curtilage of each dwelling.

4.6 Policy Compliance

4.6.1 The proposals comply with all relevant national and local transport planning policies. The site enjoys good access to the local highway network and is located within a reasonable walking distance of a range of services and public transport nodes, providing residents with realistic opportunities for non-car travel. As such, the application adheres to the core principle of the NPPF presumption in favour of sustainable development, with particular reference to the objectives of Section 9.

4.6.2 The proposed vehicular access from the A2 is considered safe and suitable for the development proposals and provides wider highway safety benefits to local road users in line with Policy DM6 of the Swale Borough Council Local Plan.

4.6.3 Both vehicular and cycle parking is provided in accordance with the prevailing Swale Borough Council standards.

4.6.4 As such, the proposed development is not considered to introduce ‘severe’ residual transport impacts, in accordance with Paragraph 109 of the NPPF, and there should be no sound basis to withhold planning permission on transport grounds.

Page 15 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326 5 Trip Generation and Transport Impacts

5.1 Overview

5.1.1 This section outlines the methodology employed to calculate the likely vehicle trip generation of the proposed development. Given that the site benefits from an extant planning consent, a residual impact assessment has been undertaken for the additional ten residential units proposed.

5.2 Proposed Development Vehicle Trip Generation

5.2.1 The vehicle trip generation of the additional ten dwellings proposed has been ascertained with reference to the national TRICS trip rate database. To provide the most representative assessment of the site, the selection ’03-RESIDENTIAL, A-HOUSES PRIVATELY OWNED’ has been made. Survey sites outside of London, in England, Scotland and Wales, have been considered with dwelling numbers between 5 and 100 in ‘Edge of Town’ and ‘Neighbourhood Centre’ locations to provide a sufficiently large dataset. Weekday periods were assessed to provide a robust consideration of peak traffic conditions. A summary of the resulting TRICS trip rates is provided in Table 5-1 below. The full TRICS data reports are included at Appendix E.

Period Arrivals Departures Total 0800-0900 0.147 0.328 0.475 1700-1800 0.291 0.147 0.438 0700-1900 2.253 2.292 4.545

Table 5-1: TRICS Trip Rates – Houses Privately Owned (trips/dwelling)

5.2.2 These trip rates have subsequently been factored by the ten additional private dwellings proposed. A summary of the residual vehicle trip generation is outlined in Table 5-2 below. Please note that any inaccuracies are the result of rounding in MS Excel.

Period Arrivals Departures Total 0800-0900 1 3 5 1700-1800 3 1 4 0700-1900 23 23 45

Table 5-2: Trip Generation – Houses Privately Owned (10 dwellings)

5.2.3 It is noted that the proposed development has the ability to generate approximately 45 additional vehicle trips across the 12-hour weekday, of which five would take place during the AM peak hour and four would occur in the PM peak hour. This equates to approximately four additional vehicle movements per hour during the 12-hour period, which is considered negligible.

Page 16 of 19

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326

5.3 Trip Distribution and Assignment

5.3.1 Notwithstanding the above conclusion, an assessment of the likely distribution and assignment of these trips has nevertheless been undertaken using Census 2011 ‘Location of usual residence and place of work by method of travel to work WU03EW’ data. Utilising ‘Home Origin’ for the proposal site (which is located within the Swale 008 Middle-Layer Super Output Area) and the Google Real-Time Journey Planner, it is possible to provide an indication of the routes that would likely be used by future site residents to access employment, education, retail and leisure destinations on a daily basis.

5.3.2 Following this methodology, it has been identified that approximately 87 per cent of vehicle movements will route east on the A2 Keycol Hill, with 13 per cent routeing west. Just under one per cent of vehicle movements will route north on Rook Lane. At the A2 / A249 / Bobbing Hill / Sheppey Way / Chestnut Street roundabout, 44 per cent of vehicles will enter the A249 (south), with 21 per cent travelling via Sheppey Way. A further 21 per cent will utilise the A2 Key Street, with less than one per cent continuing to Chestnut Street and Bobbing Hill.

5.3.3 Based on the above analysis, the following trip assignment is produced. Please note that the figures outlined below have been rounded to the nearest whole number:-

AM Arrivals Departures Total Bobbing Hill 0 0 0 Sheppey Way 0 1 1 A2 Key Street 0 1 1 Chestnut Street 0 0 0 A249 0 1 1 PM Arrivals Departures Total Bobbing Hill 0 0 0 Sheppey Way 1 0 1 A2 Key Street 1 0 1 Chestnut Street 0 0 0 A249 1 0 1

Transport Statement for Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing Ref PL/HB/15326 6 Summary and Conclusion

This Transport Statement has been prepared on behalf of Esquire Developments in relation to the proposed residential-led development at Land at Hill Farm, Bobbing, near Sittingbourne, Kent.

6.1.2 The proposed development seeks to provide 30 residential dwellings in addition to nurses accommodation and a new car park for use by Demelza House Children’s Hospice. It will also provide a significant upgrade to the A2 Keycol Hill / Rook Lane junction. The site benefits from extant planning consent (Planning Application Reference: 18/500258) for “the provision of a three-unit accommodation building, car park and outdoor event space, the erection of 20 private residential dwellings together with associated access, parking, highway works, drainage and landscaping”. The current development proposals seek to provide a similar scheme, with an additional ten residential units.

6.1.3 Following a review of national and local transport planning policy, no conflicts are envisaged. The site is within an acceptable walking distance of a range of everyday services and facilities, as well as bus stops providing access to frequent bus services to a range of local and regional destinations.

6.1.4 A review of the latest three-year Personal Injury Accident data for the local highway network confirms that there is no overarching pattern to the incidents recorded. As such, it is considered unlikely that the proposed development would have any adverse highway safety implications.

The proposed development will generate an additional 45 vehicle trips across the 12-hour period, of which five will occur in the AM peak hour and four in the PM peak hour. This is not considered to be significant or ‘severe’ in the context of Paragraph 109 of the NPPF.

6.1.6 Given the above, it is concluded that the proposed development should not have any adverse transport impacts and therefore there should be no sound transport based objections to the proposals.

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.
