Layout plans of the proposed development are contained at (Appendix A). 1.1.3 The aim of this report is to demonstrate that there are no reasons, in highway and transportation terms, why the proposed car showroom development site should not be allocated planning permission. 1.2 Scope 1.2.1 This report will discuss the following key transportation issues arising from the proposals: (i) the existing site location and transport infrastructure. (ii) analysis of personal injury traffic accident data. (iii) the site’s compliance with applicable transport policy. (iv) the development proposal in detail. (v) development-generated vehicular traffic; and (vi) development impact on the surrounding highway network. 1.2.2 Corun contacted the Local Highway Authority (LHA) directly in advance of submission to discuss and agree the scope of works for the TS. 1.2.3 During these pre-submission discussions, it was brought to our attention that the potential development impact on the A4067 interchange to the west of the site should be considered within the Transport Statement. Network Flow Diagrams have therefore been produced to assess this impact. 21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 4 Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 Site Description and Location 2.1.1 The proposed development site (hereon referred to as the ‘site’) is located on land off Heron Drive, in the Swansea Vale area of Swansea. The site is currently a vacant parcel of land totalling approximately 1.9ha, located in the north west of the Riverside Business Park area, and to the north of the wider Swansea Enterprise Park area. 2.1.2 The site is bound by Swansea Vale dual carriageway to the north, Heron Drive to the east, Moorhen Close to the south, and the River Tawe (and its adjacent pedestrian / cycle path) to the west. 2.1.3 The site is shown in a local context in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1: Site in local context © GoogleEarth Pro 2.2 Local Highway Network 2.2.1 Vehicle access to the site is currently provided from Moorhen Close, via a simple priority junction arrangement in the south west corner of the site. Moorhen Close 2.2.2 Moorhen Close is a short single carriageway access road (approximately 100m in length) within Riverside Business Park. The road provides access to the site at its western point, and at its eastern point connects to Heron Drive via a 4-arm roundabout junction (also serving the Mallard Way access road within the Riverside Business Park). 2.2.3 Moorhen Close however is currently not in use, with access closed off at the Heron Drive / Mallard Way roundabout. The road will need to be opened, and the existing carriageway and footways refurbished to facilitate access to the site. 21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 5 Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement Heron Drive 2.2.4 Heron Drive is a single carriageway road with a 30mph speed limit, providing access into the Riverside Business Park. 2.2.5 At its northern point (approximately 150m north of Moorhen Close), Heron Drive connects to the wider highway network via a 4-arm roundabout junction with the Swansea Vale and Blawd Road B4625 dual carriageway arms, and the former access point for the Riverside North car park (which is now closed off). 2.2.6 South from Moorhen Close, Heron Drive continues for approximately 150m, terminating at a roundabout junction providing access to further units within the Riverside Business Park. Wider Highway Network 2.2.7 Both the B4625 Swansea Vale and B4625 Blawd Road are 4-lane dual carriageway roads with a 30mph speed limit along their length. 2.2.8 West from Heron Drive, the B4625 Swansea Vale dual carriageway connects with the A4067 via a grade separated interchange to the west (approximately 300m). The A4067 in turn connects directly with the M4 Junction 45 to the north (approximately 800m) and provides a primary route towards Swansea City Centre to the south (approximately 6km). 2.2.9 East from Heron Drive, the B4625 Blawd Road dual carriageway continues for approximately 300m, providing a connecting route south through Swansea Enterprise Park (via Upper Fforest Way), and then continues east as a single carriageway road, providing a direct route to the M4 Junction 44 (approximately 3km). 2.2.10 The M4 provides a key route across south Wales, providing direct access into Carmarthen to the west (approximately 43km), and Neath, Bridgend, and Cardiff to the east (approximately 9km, 36km, and 66km respectively). 2.2.11 The site is shown in a wider strategic context in Figure 2.2. 21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 6 Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement Figure 2.2: Site in strategic context © openstreetmap contributors 2.3 Pedestrian Facilities 2.3.1 Throughout the Riverside Business Park, street-lit footways of approximately 2m in width are present on both sides of the carriageway, separated from traffic by an additional grass verge (approximately 2m wide). Dropped kerb crossing points with pedestrian refuge islands are also provided throughout the business park, along key pedestrian desire lines. The site connects directly into this footway network from the site access on Moorhen Close. 2.3.2 At the northern point of Heron Drive, the footway continues west along the B4625 Swansea Vale, connecting into the pedestrian footway network running through Morriston, and east along the B4625 Blawd Road, connecting into Swansea Enterprise Park, and residential areas further east. Street-lit footways are available along both sides of the carriageway along these roads, with the footway along the northern edge recently being widened into a shared-use pedestrian and cycle route. Dropped kerb pedestrian refuge island crossing points are provided at key positions along each road. 2.3.3 At the eastern end of Moorhen Close, a connection is also provided into the shared use pedestrian and cycle route running along the eastern edge of the River Tawe. This provides an off-road route all the way into Swansea City Centre to the south, and into the residential areas of Clydach and Pontardawe to the north. 2.3.4 As shown in Extract 2.1 from DfT’s ‘Inclusive Mobility’ document (2002), footway widths of 2m are more than suitable for a variety of users, including a wheelchair user and an ambulant person side by side. 21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 7 Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement Extract 2.1: Footway widths (DfT ‘Inclusive Mobility’ 2002) 2.3.5 Table 3.3 in The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation document ‘Providing for Journeys on Foot’ identifies suggested acceptable walking distances for pedestrians to a range of local facilities.

  • Application No. P2020/0362
    SECTION A – MATTERS FOR DECISION Planning Applications Recommended For Approval APPLICATION NO: P2020/0362 DATE: 22/05/2020 PROPOSAL: Construction of complementary restoration earthworks to create 2 looped landform platforms (part in cutting and part on embankment) with associated drainage infrastructure and areas of landscaping and habitat creation to create a flexible and adaptable area of land that could be used for a variety of uses including agriculture, nature conservation, leisure, tourism and industrial, research and development/business uses (potentially including a proposed rail testing, research and development and storage facility). (Cross-boundary application - see Powys CC Application ref. 20/0738/FUL) LOCATION: Land at and surrounding the Nant Helen Open Cast Coal Site, Powys, and Onllwyn Distribution Centre, Neath Port Talbot APPLICANT: Mr Rob Thompson, Celtic Energy Ltd, TYPE: Full Plans WARD: Onllwyn (also affecting Seven Sisters) BACKGROUND INFORMATION This proposal relates to a significant development site within the Dulais Valley which straddles the Neath Port Talbot and Powys administrative border. The site is largely within Powys but sections along the southern boundary are within Neath Port Talbot. Therefore, an identical application has been made to Powys CC, which is to be reported to PCC’s Planning, Taxi Licensing and Rights of Way Committee on 27th July 2020 (the outcome of which will be verbally reported to Members at Committee). While this report largely seeks to address only those matters which affect the land within the administrative boundary of Neath Port Talbot, due to the size of the development and the complexities associated with such a cross-boundary application, notably the assessment of the ‘planning balance’, the report also inevitably incorporates overarching assessments of impact which relate to the whole development and thus to both NPT and Powys (and the Brecon Beacons National Park beyond).

  • 1 Summer 2007
    Wheelrights the Swansea Bay cycle campaign group Newsletter No. 1 Summer 2007 www.wheelrights.org.uk Fabian Way is bridged The photo (taken on 22 July) shows the new bus and cycle path bridge being lifted into position. It replaces the old “Sidings” Bridge which used to take NCN 4 across Fabian Way. The new cycle path will be alongside and separate from the bus lane. This will be a cable- stayed structure not unlike the Sail Bridge across the River Tawe. When opened it will link the new section of path to Swansea with the existing NCN 4 to the east. Swansea Bay Strategy Wheelrights have contributed to the consultation on this proposal for a major new development in Swansea Bay. We are not happy with what is proposed. While we support planned improved amenities and the proposal to widen the foreshore path for the benefit of cyclists and pedestrians we are against a plan to increase parking in Mumbles — we believe it is contrary to the Council’s sustainability policies — and we do not want a bridge at Blackpill. We do however think that there is a case for a cycle/pedestrian bridge across the Mumbles Road 150m west of Brynmill Lane. For our reasons visit our website where you will find our Contents written response on the “Various” page. Also there you P. 1 Fabian Way is bridged. will find Sustrans response and it is encouraging that P. 1 Swansea Bay Strategy. they also are concerned about the increased parking P. 1 Why a newsletter? and do not want a bridge at Blackpill.

  • Riverside Park Near Pontardawe Start/Finish: Sail Bridge Distance: 20 Miles
    Ride: Riverside Park near Pontardawe Start/Finish: Sail Bridge Distance: 20 miles. Terrain: Flat Map: Swansea A-Z. This ride takes you up the new section of National Cycle Route 43 south of the M4. There were diversions past this section for some two years while a new embankment to alleviate flooding was constructed. It was opened in April 2014. From the Sail Bridge follow NCR 43 up the east side of the Tawe to Morfa and then across the river past the Liberty Stadium. The path here has recently been improved. Don't cross the Mannesman Bridge but continue north to the new Beaufort Bridge. The shared use path alongside Beaufort Road has also been upgraded and is no longer bumpy like it used to be. The renovated section of NCR 43 starts on the east side of the Beaufort Bridge and takes you to the motorway. The route from the Liberty Stadium to the M4 is now (2014) a model of what a cycle route should be. Continue under the motorway, under the A4067 and along the new (2012) path which crosses the Afon Tawe Bridge (pictured) reaching the canal at Clydach. It then crosses the B4603. Take care here as the marked crossing is below par. (Hopefully it will be improved in 2015.) Next, the route passes through the "Depot". There are plans to make this into a garden. Continue north-east along the canal to Pontardawe. Here you enter a park at the end of a cul- de-sac where the route bears right and then left along the river.

  • Things to Do in Swansea—A CA Tourist Guide
    Things to do in Swansea—a CA tourist guide Please see the Visit Swansea Bay website at https://www.visitswanseabay.com for further information to help plan your stay. On the campuses: - On Singleton Campus, we recommend our in-house museum, the Egypt Centre, with a collection of ancient objects originally amassed by Sir Henry Wellcome. It is not usually open Sunday or Monday, but for the conference it will be opened specially on Monday 20 April. Hours are 10:00–16:00. Handling sessions of objects from the Egypt Centre will also be held for delegates during registration on Friday from 13:00. - In Fulton House on Singleton Campus, a Costcutter will be open during the conference should you want to self-cater; the student bar, JC’s will also be open. Further along Mumbles Road near Singleton Hospital is the Pub on the Pond, a Greene King establishment. - On Bay Campus, Tafarn Tawe (the Union Bar) will be open during the conference, as will the local Tesco Express and the bar in the Great Hall. In Swansea: - The ruins of Swansea Castle are worth stopping by on your way to Wind (pronounced like ‘wine’) Street, which boasts historical buildings and is the main entertainment district. Good restaurants here include The Star Chinese Restaurant, the Hanson at the Chelsea, and La Braseria. The most congenial pub is No Sign bar, frequented—like many Swansea establishments—by Dylan Thomas. Good bars include Brewdog, Prohibition, Flickering Light, Old Havana and Juniper Place (both on Oystermouth Road), and No. 6 (opposite the Travelodge).
