1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

1.1.1 This Transport Statement (TS) has been produced by Corun Associates Ltd (Corun) on behalf of Sinclair JLR Swansea, the applicants, to examine the highway and transportation issues associated with a proposed car showroom and associated works on land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea.

1.1.2 The proposal involves the construction of a new car showroom building, workshop, compound parking and storage. 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.

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 (and its adjacent pedestrian / cycle path) to the west.

2.1.3 The site is shown in a local context in Figure 2.1.

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.

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 and 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. For retail sites (under the elsewhere category) the preferred maximum walking distance specified is 1.2km, and for commuting trips (for staff to the site) the preferred maximum walking distance specified is 2km. Figure 2.3 identifies the walking catchments to the site based on these suggested walking distances.

2.3.6 Figure 2.3 demonstrates that the residential eastern area of Morriston is located within a 1.2km walking distance from the site, with almost all of the wider Morriston area, and other residential areas of Tregof Village and Pant-Y-Blawd Road located within a 2km walking distance of the site. This identifies that the site is well located for a good proportion of residents in the local area to access the site by foot as a customer or staff member.

2.3.7 It should also be noted that these maximum acceptable walking distances specified are not definitive, and ‘acceptable’ walking distances will vary between individuals and circumstances. As such, with the walking connections available to the site, there is no reason that residents from further afield in areas of Swansea such as Ynysforgan and Llansamlet could not also access the site by foot, should they desire.

2.4 Cycle Facilities

2.4.1 Cycling facilities within the vicinity of the site are outlined on an extract from the Swansea Bay cycle map published by Swansea Council, shown in Figure 2.4.

Figure 2.4: Swansea Bay Cycle Map extract

Source: www.swansea.gov.uk 21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 9

Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement

2.4.2 As identified on the Swansea Bay Cycle Map extract the site is located within close proximity to both the Orange and Yellow routes of the Swansea Bay Cycle Network. Both routes can be accessed from the shared-use pedestrian and cycle path running along the eastern side of the River Tawe, approximately 50m from the site via Moorhen Close.

2.4.3 The Swansea Bay Cycle Network is a scheme developed by both Swansea Council and Council to encourage people in the area to travel by bike instead of car as part of their journey to work, school, or the shops. There are fourteen different routes in the Swansea Bay Cycle Network, with each assigned a different colour. The network was developed with routes which take the most direct and flattest journey, suitable for all kinds of bike. The routes are a combination of both on-road and off-road sections, with route colours replicated on signs across the network. Figure 2.5 shows a tube style map of the entire Swansea Bay Cycle Network, along with approximate cycle times between key points on the network.

Figure 2.5: Swansea Bay Cycle Network ‘Tube Map’

Source: www.cycleswanseabay.org.uk

2.4.4 From the site area, the Orange route continues west through Morriston, and onto Penllergaer (approximately 33 minutes), and (approximately 42 minutes). East from the site area, the Orange route continues past Llansamlet train station (approximately 11 minutes), all the way to Briton Ferry (approximately 33 minutes).

2.4.5 The entirely off-road Yellow route (which follows the route of National Cycle Route 43) continues south from the site area all the way to Swansea City Centre (approximately 21 minutes), and north from the site area through Pontardawe (approximately 30 minutes).

2.4.6 These routes also connect into other on-road and off-road cycle routes running through the local area, and other routes along the Swansea Bay Cycle Network.

21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 10

Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement

2.4.7 LTN1/04 identifies that the mean average length for cycling is 4km (2.4 miles), although journeys of up to three times this distance is not uncommon for regular commuters. As such, a 12km (7.4 mile) cycle commuter distance normally applies. Figure 2.6 illustrates these indicative cycle catchments from the proposed site.

2.4.8 A 4km cycle distance cover the whole of the Morriston, and Ynysforgan areas of Swansea, with the 12km cycle distance covering the whole of the Swansea wider area, also extending into the areas of Neath, Gowerton, Pontarddulais, Pontardawe, and Britton Ferry.

2.4.9 With its location directly adjacent to routes of the Swansea Bay Cycle Network, and the number of residential settlements within the 4km and 12km cycle catchment areas, the site is well located to attract staff and customer cycle trips.

2.5 Public Transport Facilities

Bus

2.5.1 Guidance relating to the accessibility of development proposals to public transport is provided in the Institution of Highways and Transportation (IHT) document ‘Planning for Public Transport in Development’ (March 1999). The IHT guidance recommends that:

“‘new developments should be located so that public transport trips involve a walking distance of less than 400m from the nearest bus stop …”.

21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 11

Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement

2.5.2 The nearest bus stop to the site is the Grove Place Church stop on Clydach Road, an approximate 600m walk from the site. The stop provides access to First Group services 24 and X6. The Sway Road stop located approximately 850m away from the site also provides access to further regular First Group services 4, 4A, and 31.

2.5.3 Although both stops are outside the IHT recommended 400m walking distance, this suggested walking distance is not a definitive barrier and actual acceptable walking distances will vary between individuals and circumstances. As such both stops offer a viable option for more mobile visitors and staff to the site. Figure 2.7 identifies the location of these bus stops.

Figure 2.7: Bus stops in the vicinity of the site and approximate walking distance

© Crown Copywright OS OpenData (2020)

2.5.4 A summary of all the regular bus services available from the Grove Place Church and Sway Road stops, and their approximate service frequencies is provided in Table 2.1.

2.5.5 Table 2.1 identifies that regular bus services are available connecting the site to other residential areas within Swansea, and to Swansea City Centre.

2.5.6 It should be noted that this report was prepared during the Covid-19 pandemic, with travel restrictions in place across the country. Although at the time of writing the travel restrictions across the country were gradually being eased, the First Bus website identifies that some bus services are still being operated with a reduced capacity. As such the level of services provided from the stops identified could potentially increase should a return to pre-Covid operation be introduced.

2.5.7 The site is therefore considered to be in a good location to offer staff and visitors to the site opportunities to travel via bus.

Rail

2.5.8 The nearest train station to the site is Llansamlet station, approximately a 3km walk from the site. Although located outside an acceptable walking distance for most people, Llansamlet Station can be accessed directly from the Swansea Bay Cycle Network Orange route and is an approximately 13-minute cycle from the site (as identified on the Swansea Bay Cycle Network Tube Map at Figure 2.5).

2.5.9 Llansamlet provides access to Transport for Wales services routing between Carmarthen, Swansea, and Cardiff.

2.5.10 Potential commuter stations within a short rail journey time to Llansamlet include Gowerton (25-minutes) and (40-minutes) to the west, and Neath (8-minutes), Port Talbot (20- minutes) and Bridgend (45-minutes) to the east. At present, Llansamlet is served by a train every two hours in both directions on weekdays.

2.5.11 Swansea train station can also be accessed directly from the Swansea Bay Cycle Network Yellow route and is approximately a 21-minute cycle from the site. This station can also be accessed via an approximate 20-minute journey from the bus services identified in Table 2.1.

2.5.12 Swansea is a key station in Wales, providing access to more regular and direct Transport for Wales services routing across South Wales, and onward to Manchester Piccadilly and Shrewsbury. The station also provides access to First Great Western services operating between Carmarthen and London Paddington.

21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 13

Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement

2.5.13 Potential commuter stations within a short rail journey time to Swansea include Gowerton (11-minutes) and Llanelli (18-minutes) to the west, and Neath (11-minutes), Port Talbot (18- minutes) and Bridgend (31-minutes) to the east.

2.5.14 With the opportunity for multi-modal cycle and bus trips, access to both Llansamlet and Swansea train stations is an option from the site, especially for staff commuting trips.

2.6 Local Highway Safety

2.6.1 A review has been carried out on local highway network safety to establish whether there are any current accident clusters or blackspots in the vicinity of the site that may be exacerbated by the development proposal. In this instance, a cluster is identified as a closely defined area of five or more accidents.

2.6.2 The website www.crashmap.co.uk has been interrogated to provide a review of accidents in the surrounding area.

2.6.3 CrashMap uses data collected by the police about road traffic crashes occurring on British roads where someone has been injured. This data is approved by the National Statistics Authority and reported on by the Department for Transport each year. The website uses data obtained directly from official sources and compiled in an easy-to-use format showing each incident on a map. Incidents are plotted to within 10 metres of their location and the data includes all incidents up to the end of 2020.

2.6.4 Figure 2.8 provides an extract of all PIAs identified on CrashMap in the vicinity of the site over the 5-year period between 2016 and 2020. A total of 5 PIAs are identified, with 4 being classed as slight, and 1 being classed as serious. This equates to an average of 1 PIA per year.

21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 14

Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement

2.6.5 The serious PIA occurred at the eastern end of Mallard Way within the Riverside Business Park. This section of road is currently blocked off, and the PIA appears to be an isolated incident, un-related to highway design.

2.6.6 Three slight PIAs were identified at the A4067 interchange junction, which does not seem un-reasonable for a large junction of this type, and does not appear to identify any significant safety issue here.

2.6.7 No PIAs were identified along the Riverside Business Park access arm or junction.

2.6.8 The accident data does not therefore appear to identify any significant highway safety issue within the immediate area of the development site, and the minor increase in traffic generated by the proposed development (as discussed later in this report) is highly unlikely to exacerbate the existing safety record to a significant enough level to warrant concern.

3 LOCAL AND NATIONAL PLANNING GUIDANCE

3.1 Overview

3.1.1 In transport terms the relevant policy guidance that applies to this site are contained in the following documents:

• Planning Policy Wales (Edition 11, February 2021).

• Technical Advice Note (Wales) (2007) 18 – Transport.

• Future Wales – The National Plan 2040 (Feb 2021).

• Wales Transport Strategy (2008).

• Joint Transport Plan for South West Wales (2015 – 2020); and

• Swansea Local Development Plan 2010 - 2025, adopted February 2019.

3.1.2 Consideration is also given to the following legislation, which has an emphasis on sustainable transport provision:

• Active Travel Wales Act 2013; and

• Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.

3.2 Overall Policy Objective

3.2.1 The overarching desire at all tiers of planning policy guidance is to influence a modal shift from single occupancy car travel towards more sustainable modes such as walking, cycling, and public transport.

3.2.2 To achieve this, it is recognised that development should be located such that the need to travel by private car is reduced, by locating development where there is good access to high quality public transport, walking and cycling provision.

3.3 Conclusion

3.3.1 As identified in Section 2 of this report, the site is well located to encourage travel by sustainable modes for both staff and visitors of the proposed development.

3.3.2 The site is therefore concluded to comply with transport planning policy at local and national level.

21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 16

4 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

4.1 Proposed Development

4.1.1 The proposed development involves the construction of a new Jaguar Land Rover car showroom building, workshop, compound parking and storage.

4.1.2 Indicative site layout plans of these proposals are contained at Appendix A.

4.2 Vehicular Access

4.2.1 Customer vehicular access to the site is proposed via a new priority junction with Heron Drive. The junction will be constructed under a S278 Agreement, subject to planning.

4.2.2 Manual for Streets (MfT) identifies that for 30mph roads a driver visibility of at least 43m in both directions should be provided from a junction to ensure there is adequate inter-visibility between vehicles on the major and minor arms. The new customer access along Heron Drive is proposed at a point approximately 70m south of the Riverside Business Park access junction with the B4625, and approximately 65m north of the roundabout junction between Heron Drive / Moorhen Close / Mallard Way. The location of this new junction would therefore allow this MfT visibility distance to be achieved in both directions.

4.2.3 Vehicle access for service, delivery, and car transporting requirements will be provided through the existing priority junction with Moorhen Close. As it is currently blocked off at the junction with Heron Drive, Moorhen Close will be opened, and the existing carriageway and footways refurbished to facilitate access to the site.

4.2.4 Swept path analysis for a max legal 16.5m articulated vehicle accessing the proposed site from Moorhen Close is shown in Appendix A. This shows that there is sufficient room for a vehicle of this size to manoeuvre within the site, and safely enter and exit the site in a forward gear.

4.3 Parking Provision

4.3.1 The development proposal includes a total of 399 parking spaces, made up of 34 customer parking spaces, 2 (6%) for disabled customers, 2 (6%) parent and child spaces, and 4 (12%) electric vehicle charging spaces. The remaining 365 spaces are allocated to external used display parking (74 spaces) demonstrator parking (16 spaces) compound parking (177 spaces) compound disabled parking (2 spaces) and group storage parking (96 spaces). Staff and servicing parking will be provided within the group storage area (96 spaces).

4.3.2 The supplementary planning document ‘City and County of Swansea Parking Standards’ adopted in March 2012 sets out detailed parking requirements according to land use and type of development across the county. These parking standards differ across six distinct zones identified within the document. The proposed development falls within ‘Zone 4 – Suburban or Near Urban’.

4.3.3 As outlined in Section 4.3 of the document, the parking standards aim to set a maximum level of parking to be provided at developments, in line with national and regional policies to encourage a move to more sustainable modes of transport.

21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 17

Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement

4.3.4 The Zone 4 parking standards for the ‘Car Sales Premises’ category, identify that a maximum of 1 space per 50m2 of retail area (inside and outside) should be provided.

4.3.5 The masterplan extract below illustrates the retail areas involved (highlighted in red) - internal 732m2, external 1330m2 – total 2062m2. At 1 space per 50m2, this total area equates to a maximum of 42 car parking spaces.

Masterplan Extract

4.3.6 The proposed parking provision of 34 parking spaces falls within these maximum standards and is deemed appropriate for the proposed development.

4.3.7 Staff will park within the compound area and as such the proposed level of parking, which is within the maximum permitted, is deemed appropriate.

4.3.8 The parking standards also state that 1 space is required for a car transporter within the site. As shown on the swept path analysis contained at Appendix A, there is sufficient room within the site for a transporter to manoeuvre and enter and exit the site in forward gear via the service access on Moorhen Close. Transporters will arrive and depart the site via the dedicated access on Moorhen Close and as such will not mix with customer traffic.

Enhanced Access Parking Bays

4.3.9 Swansea parking standards require retail sites to provide 6% of the total car park capacity for disabled motorists, plus an additional space for each disabled employee. These spaces are preferably to be located within 50m of the facility served by the car park and designed to recommendations set out in the DfT document ‘Inclusive Mobility, A Guide to Best Practice on Access to Pedestrian and Transport Infrastructure (2002)’.

4.3.10 A total of 2 disabled parking spaces are proposed out of the 34 bays; this represents 6% of the total provision.

21-00735/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd April 2021 Page 18

Land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea Sinclair JLR Swansea Transport Statement

4.3.11 The disabled bays will be reserved for vulnerable and impaired users and will include an additional 1.2m buffer strip around each space to assist with access, especially for wheelchair users. This is in line with the DfT guidance.

4.3.12 All enhanced bays are conveniently located near the proposed entrance and within the Swansea parking guidelines recommended 50m distance.

Bicycle Parking

4.3.13 Swansea parking standards require 1 long stay cycle stand per 1,000m2 GFA for car sales premises. Based on the total build area of 3243m2, this equates to a total of 3-4 cycle parking stands at the proposed site. A total of 6 cycle stands are included, which is more than the required standard.

4.4 Sustainable Transport Enhancements

4.4.1 As identified in Section 1 of this report, it is considered that the site is well located to encourage pedestrian travel from the nearby residential areas.

4.4.2 To further promote this mode of travel, the customer vehicular access junction along Heron Drive will include tactile paving and dropped kerb crossings to assist mobility impaired users. Footways leading into the development site will connect to the existing footway provision along the western edge of the Heron Drive.

4.4.3 To promote the use of electric vehicles to the site, four electric vehicle-charging parking spaces are included within the proposals.

4.4.4 A Travel Plan will also be created as part of the proposals. This is a document that will be produced with the intention of promoting and increasing sustainable modes of travel to the site. The Travel Plan will be primarily targeted at trips made by staff of the proposed development.

5 DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC GENERATION AND IMPACT

5.1 Introduction

5.1.1 Predicted site traffic flows have been forecast using the TRICS database. TRICS is a nationally accepted database providing information relating to the total number of trips generated by various land uses, based on existing trips observed at similar sites throughout the United Kingdom.

5.1.2 From the TRICS database, a Trip Rate is derived which provides the number of expected trips per unit of measurement (e.g. unit, bay or area). The TRICS good practice guide promotes an ‘inclusive’ rather than ‘exclusive’ approach to site selection.

5.2 Proposed Development Trip Generation

5.2.1 The category ’14 – Car Show Rooms/A – Car Show Rooms’ was used in TRICS to represent the proposed car showroom site. An initial filtering step was applied to remove all sites in Greater London and Ireland, and to exclude Edge of Town Centre, Residential Zone, and Village sites. A site-by-site analysis was then made to only include those sites which would be representative of the proposed development.

5.2.4 Table 5.1 shows that the proposed car showroom is predicted to generate 846 two-way vehicular trips over the 15-hour weekday period between 07:00 and 22:00. Over the typical AM and PM highway peak hours of 0800 to 0900, and 1700 to 1800 the anticipated two-way trip generation of the proposed development is 89 and 62 trips respectively.

5.3 Development Traffic Distribution

5.3.1 The development traffic distribution on the immediate highway network and on the A4067 interchange to the west of the site has been explored, in line with pre-submission comments from Swansea Council.

5.3.2 It is predicted that most of the visitors to the showroom will be coming from the direction of the A4067. Figure 5.1 shows the anticipated development distribution proportions on the immediate highway network, with 90% of development trips routed to the site via the A4067.

5.3.3 Figure 5.2 and Figure 5.3 identify the anticipated total trip generation of the proposed development on the immediate highway network over the typical weekday AM and PM highway peak hours of 0800 to 0900, and 1700 to 1800 respectively.

5.3.4 Figures 5.2 identifies that during the typical weekday AM highway peak hour of 0800 to 0900 the proposed development would generate 26 departure trips, and 64 arrival trips along the Heron Drive Riverside Business Park access road. Of these trips, it would be anticipated that 23 departure trips and 58 arrival trips would route to / from the A4067 via the B4625 Swansea Vale dual carriageway road.

5.3.5 Figures 5.3 identifies that during the typical weekday PM highway peak hour of 1700 to 1800 the proposed development would generate 43 departure trips, and 20 arrival trips along the Heron Drive Riverside Business Park access road. Of these trips, it would be anticipated that 38 departure trips and 18 arrival trips would route to / from the A4067 via the B4625 Swansea Vale dual carriageway road.

5.3.6 With the proposed development being located in an already established business park area, and the majority of the proposed development trips expected to route along both the B4625 Swansea Vale and A4067 dual carriageway roads, it is concluded that the proposed development will have a minimal impact on the surrounding highway network.

6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

6.1 Summary

6.1.1 This Transport Statement (TS) has been produced by Corun Associates Ltd (Corun) on behalf of Sinclair JLR Swansea, the applicants, to examine the highway and transportation issues associated with a proposed car showroom and associated works on land off Heron Drive, Swansea Vale, Swansea.

6.1.2 The site is currently a vacant parcel of land located within the Riverside Business Park site, to the north of the wider Swansea Enterprise Park area of Swansea.

6.1.3 The proposals are for the development of a new car showroom building, workshop, compound parking and storage. Layout plans of the proposed re-development site are contained at (Appendix A).

6.1.4 The site is well located to encourage sustainable modes of travel for staff and visitors living in the surrounding residential areas of Morriston. With its location directly adjacent to routes within the Swansea Bay Cycle Network, and its location within reasonable walking distance to regular bus services, the site also offers opportunities for sustainable travel over longer or multi-modal trips across the wider Swansea area, especially for staff commuting trips.

6.1.5 Customer vehicular access to the site is proposed via a new priority junction with Heron Drive. The junction will be constructed under a S278 Agreement, subject to planning.

6.1.6 Vehicle access for service, delivery, and car transporting requirements will be provided through the existing priority junction with Moorhen Close. As it is currently blocked off at the junction with Heron Drive, Moorhen Close will be opened, and the existing carriageway and footways refurbished to facilitate access to the site.

6.1.7 Pedestrian access to the site will be provided at the same point as the customer vehicular access junction with Heron Drive. The junction will include tactile paving and dropped kerb crossings to assist mobility impaired users, and direct access into the existing footway along the western edge of the Heron Drive will be provided.

6.1.8 The development proposal includes a total of 399 parking spaces, made up of 34 customer parking spaces, 2 (6%) for disabled customers, 2 (6%) parent and child spaces, and 4 (12%) electric vehicle charging spaces. The remaining 365 spaces are allocated to external used display parking (74 spaces) demonstrator parking (16 spaces) compound parking (177 spaces) compound disabled parking (2 spaces) and group storage parking (96 spaces). Staff and servicing parking will be provided within the group storage area (96 spaces).

6.1.9 A total of 6 cycle stands are included, which is more than the required standard. These will be covered, and in a prominent and convenient location to promote natural surveillance. This will help encourage this mode of travel.

6.1.10 The proposed development is predicted to generate 846 two-way vehicular trips over the 15-hour weekday period between 07:00 and 22:00. Over the typical AM and PM highway peak hours of 0800 to 0900, and 1700 to 1800 the anticipated two-way trip generation of the proposed development is 89 and 62 trips respectively. It is predicted that most of these vehicle trips will be routing along the A4067.

6.1.11 During the typical AM highway peak hour of 0800 to 0900 it would be anticipated that 23 departure trips and 58 arrival trips would route to / from the A4067 via the B4625 Swansea Vale dual carriageway road.

6.1.12 During the typical PM highway peak hour of 1700 to 1800 it would be anticipated that 38 departure trips and 18 arrival trips would route to / from the A4067 via the B4625 Swansea Vale dual carriageway road.

6.1.13 With the proposed development being in an already established business park area of Swansea, and the majority of the proposed development trips expected to route along both the B4625 Swansea Vale and A4067 dual carriageway roads, it is concluded that the proposed development will have a minimal impact on the surrounding highway network.

6.1.14 A review of the accident record on the surrounding highway network in the vicinity of the site concludes it to be relatively good, with no significant accident hotspots identified. With the minor impact on traffic levels predicted from the proposed development, it is not expected to have an adverse impact on this existing highway safety record.

6.1.15 A Travel Plan will also be developed as part of the proposals, which aims to maximise active modes of travel and public transport use associated with the site.

6.2 Conclusion

6.2.1 This Transport Statement has demonstrated that the development should be considered acceptable in terms of highways and transportation.

6.2.2 There are no reasons in highway and transportation terms why the proposed development should not be granted consent.

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.

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 7.8.1 240321 B20.15 Database right of TRICS Consortium Limited, 2021.

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 7.8.1 240321 B20.15 Database right of TRICS Consortium Limited, 2021.

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.
