This report forms part of a submission in response to the Core Strategy Preferred Options made by Pegasus Planning on behalf of the developers. 1.2 In preparing this report we have had close dialogue with the local Highway Authority, Staffordshire County Council, and have agreed the general approach of the study. Staffs CC have provided us with recent traffic data for the Lichfield area and the results of public transport accessibility testing carried out on their behalf by Atkins. 1.3 We would stress that this report should be regarded as an initial assessment of the transport impacts of the proposed development areas, and that further more detailed studies will be required in order to support any future planning applications. Nevertheless, the assessment is considered to be adequate to identify the principal effects of the development, and to confirm that its impact on the historic core of the City is capable of being mitigated to a satisfactory degree. 1.4 This report sets out the existing transport situation in and around Lichfield, then goes on to describe the development proposals and their attendant transportation measures. The impact of the overall package is then assessed using a combination of existing traffic count data; and Census and other data to inform travel demand forecasts, and the effects of the proposed mitigation measures. Lichfield District Core Strate gy 1 Deltabridge Investments Ltd, Persimmon Homes & Miller Homes 2 EXISTING AND COMMITTED TRANSPORT SITUATION Location 2.1 Lichfield is a compact city with a population of some 28,000 (2001 Census) situated in south-east Staffordshire, forming the largest settlement in Lichfield District. Lichfield is one of a series of settlements (also including Cannock, Burntwood and Tamworth) forming an arc around the north-eastern side of the West Midlands conurbation. Lichfield is located some 23km to the north of Birmingham city centre and the centre of Walsall, the nearest town within the Black Country, is some 14km to the south east. To the north east along the A38 corridor are Burton on Trent (18km) and Derby (35km). Figure 1 - Lichfield – Strategic Location 2.2 Notwithstanding the fact that it is possible to commute from Lichfield to these and other nearby settlements, Lichfield is a relatively self-contained settlement, with a good range of employment opportunities and services, including an attractive retail core, schools, further and higher education centres health facilities and leisure and recreation facilities. Lichfield District Core Strate gy 2 Deltabridge Investments Ltd, Persimmon Homes & Miller Homes 2.3 This has been demonstrated through an analysis of journey to work data taken from the 2001 Census, which established that some 41% of Lichfield residents in employment (taken as the wards of Leomansley, St John’s, Boley Park, Chadsmead, Curborough and Stowe) work within the city. Of these journeys to work, almost half (48%) are made by sustainable modes of transport – walk, cycle, public transport or car share. 2.4 Staffordshire County Council commissioned Atkins to undertake an assessment to determine the most suitable locations for development in transport terms for Lichfield District, using Accession software. This assessment reviews sustainable transport accessibility to a range of services and facilities eg. employment, education establishments, GP surgeries and hospitals, and retail supermarkets. The sustainable transport accessibility results, together with population data, enabled an accessibility score to be derived. 2.5 The results showed that overall the existing centres of Lichfield, Burntwood, Armitage and parts of Fazeley and Alrewas are best placed for sustainable accessibility to employment. Lichfield, and the routes between the city and Burntwood and Walsall are best placed for sustainable access to further education facilities, and Lichfield and Burntwood are well served for sustainable access for primary and secondary schools. For sustainable access to GP surgeries, the centres of Lichfield, Burntwood, Fazeley, Alrewas, Shenstone, Armitage, Whittington and Stonnall are best served, whilst only residents in Lichfield and Fazeley are within a short public transport journey to a hospital. With regard to retail supermarkets, Lichfield, Burntwood, Little Aston and Fazeley were found to have good accessibility. 2.6 Overall, the centres of Lichfield and Burntwood and parts of Fazeley were found to be the most suitable locations for development in transport terms in order to maximise the accessibility to existing services and facilities. Road Links 2.7 In terms of strategic road links, Lichfield is well located, being served by the A38 trunk road from Birmingham to Derby, and which joins with the M6 Toll immediately to the south of the city. The A5 trunk road is also easily accessible from the city, which runs parallel to the M6 Toll to the west and provides a route to the M42 motorway to the east. Lichfield District Core Strate gy 3 Deltabridge Investments Ltd, Persimmon Homes & Miller Homes Figure 2 – Lichfield – Principal Routes 2.8 Other important radial routes are the A51 to Rugeley and Stafford (west) and to Tamworth (east); the A461 to Walsall, which joins with the A5190 to Burntwood at the Pipehill junction to the south-west of the city; the A5127 Birmingham Road which provides the most direct route to the M6 Toll junction T5; and the A5206 London Road which links to the A38 (south). 2.9 Orbital movements around the northern edge of the city are well catered for by the A5192 Eastern Avenue, which links the A51 with the two half-junctions on the A38 to the north and south of Streethay. Eastern Avenue also serves a significant amount of employment development. 2.10 A similar route around the southern edge of the city has been planned for sometime but is as yet incomplete. The western section of the Lichfield Southern Bypass link from the A461 Walsall Road to junction with St Foy Avenue was opened in 2003 as part of the Darwin Park residential development, which is now almost built out. St Foy Avenue was built at the same time and is now signed as the continuation of the Walsall Road A461 route, and has thus relieved the A461/A51 junction at The Friary of some through traffic. Lichfield District Core Strate gy 4 Deltabridge Investments Ltd, Persimmon Homes & Miller Homes 2.11 The next section of the Southern Bypass, from the junction with St Foy Avenue to the A5127 Birrmingham Road, was funded by further housing development; it is now under construction and is scheduled to open shortly. 2.12 Although the link from Birmingham Road to Walsall Road will have some benefits, distributing traffic to the new housing areas and the supermarket on Darwin Park, it will not yet provide an effective orbital route. 2.13 The final section of the Southern Bypass will link Birmingham Road with the junction of the A5206 London Road and the A51 Tamworth Road, thus providing a connection between all of the radial routes serving the south of the city. This will enable traffic movements between the eastern part of the city and the A461 Walsall Road and A5127 Birmingham Road to avoid the congested city centre, providing considerable traffic relief. More locally, the completed bypass will also remove through traffic from Shortbutts Lane, a residential link between the A51 and A5127 that currently functions as a sub-standard orbital route. 2.14 Preliminary designs for this remaining section of bypass have been prepared by the County Council and could be implemented, subject to funding. Public Transport, Cycle and Walk Links 2.15 Lichfield is very well served by rail, a mode of travel which accounts for some 5% of all journeys to work from the city. Both Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley stations are on the electrified Cross-City Line, which provides a high frequency service to Birmingham City Centre and 21 other stations to the north and south of the city, including Redditch, the southern terminus of the line. Lichfield City station is located a short distance to the south of the city centre and the bus station, and the Trent Valley station is located to the north of the city close to the Britannia Enterprise Park. There are at least 4 trains per hour in each direction, Monday to Saturday, and a half-hourly service on Sundays. 2.16 Lichfield Trent Valley is also served by trains on the West Coast Mainline operated by London Midland Trains, running between Crewe and London Euston with at least an hourly service Monday to Saturday and two-hourly on Sundays.

Projects Identified as Important to the Parish, to be Pursued by the Parish Council, Through Various Funding Sources Including Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) 53 2 1 Background to the Plan 1.1 The Localism Act 2011 promoted neighbourhood engagement in the planning process. It introduced a new kind of Plan, called a Neighbourhood Development Plan (or Neighbourhood Plan, for short), that could be prepared by Parish Councils. One of the key aims of the legislation is to enable people to contribute to the long term development of their own community. A Neighbourhood Plan can make a real difference to how development is carried out in the Parish, because once it has been through all the stages of preparation and been “made” (adopted) by Lichfield District Council (LDC), it becomes part of the District’s Development Plan, alongside the LDC Local Plan. Its planning policies will therefore be used in the decision-making process when planning applications within the Parish are considered by the Local Planning Authority. This Neighbourhood Plan supports the delivery of strategic policies contained in the Lichfield District Local Plan in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 para 13.

  • Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This Appendix
    Appendix 2: Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This appendix provides an overview of the historic environment for each of the Historic Environment Character Areas (HECAs) which fall within Lichfield District. It should be noted that the information and any recommendations contained within each of the documents is subject to amendment should any new information become available. For further information regarding the Historic Environment Record (HER); Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) and designated sites please contact: Cultural Heritage Team Environment & Countryside Development Services Directorate Staffordshire County Council Riverway Stafford ST16 3TJ Tel: 01785 277281/277285/277290 Email: [email protected] Staffordshire County Council February 2009 1 Historic Environment Character Area (HECA) 2a Introduction This document forms an overview of the HECA which specifically addresses the potential impact of medium to large scale development upon the historic environment. The character area covers 5,645ha lies wholly within Lichfield District boundary and to the west of Tamworth. Archaeological and Historic Documentation Archaeological work within the character area has tended to concentrate along the A5 and the M6 (Toll) roads. The information on this character area mostly comes from the HER data, whilst VCH has covered part of the area. Historic Environment Assets Summary The current understanding on the later prehistoric landscape of the character area suggests that it had mostly been heavily wooded until Bronze Age, when some clearance may have begun to take place to support a small scale pastoral economy. The earliest evidence for human activity from the character area dates to the Mesolithic period; however, this comes from flint artefacts and probably represents the presence of mobile hunting groups and transitory occupation.

  • Independent Examination of the Lichfield Local Plan Staffordshire
    Independent Examination of the Lichfield Local Plan Staffordshire County Council Statement on issues arising from Main Modifications (12, 13, 14, 22, 23 and 24) Proposed changes to Lichfield District Integrated Transport Strategy 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The Transport Appraisal of the Spatial Strategy for Lichfield City Addendum (CD2-14) assesses the transport implications of the District Council’s spatial strategy published in the Submission Local Plan and examined between June and July 2012. The Lichfield District Integrated Transport Strategy 2013-2026 forms part of that Addendum and details the specific interventions that need to be delivered with public and private monies to make the Local Plan proposals acceptable in transport terms. The Transport Strategy was updated in November 2013 and extended to 2028. It can be found at: http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/transport/transportplanning/localtransportplan/ districtintegratedtransportstrategies.aspx 1.2 The Local Plan was found unsound only in respect of inadequate provision of housing need, and to rectify this Lichfield District Council propose to extend the plan period to 2029, allocate 900 additional new homes at Deans Slade Farm and Cricket Lane (both currently within the Greenbelt), a further 200 homes at various sites within the City and 250 homes at the Fradley SDA. Some 12ha of employment land previously allocated at Fradley will be decanted to Cricket Lane to increase the supply of jobs within Lichfield. 1.3 The County Council has now considered the potential impact of these development proposals on the local highway network (reported in ‘Transport Implications of the Proposed Main Modifications - August 2014’) http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/transport/transportplanning/localtransportplan/ districtintegratedtransportstrategies.aspx Based on the available evidence, we have concluded that should the Inspector find these Main Modifications acceptable in planning terms, our transport strategy will need to be modified and expanded.

  • The Assessment Concludes That Multi-Typology Open Spaces Should Be Encouraged So Biodiversity Is an Integral Part of Recreational Open Space
    The assessment concludes that multi-typology open spaces should be encouraged so biodiversity is an integral part of recreational open space. Description of provision in Walsall Metropolitan Borough 7.40. Walsall Metropolitan Borough falls in the southeast of the study area. The less densely urban eastern half of the borough is included within the study boundary. Figure 7.1e shows distribution of current open space provision by typology as assessed in the Walsall Green Space Strategy 2006-2011 (Draft for consultation July 06). The strategy did not set out any standards for analysis or for future provision, however the Urban Open Space SPD, April 2006 provides further summary of the current quantity of provision and targets for future provision. This information is summarised in Table 7.5 below.
