Impact Assessment Version 2015 Impact Assessment Version 2015 Assessment of: Bridge Road Widening Service: PT&E – Transport Planning Head of Service: Dave Black Date of sign off by Head Of Service/version: 22 October 2015 Assessment carried out by (incl. job title): Lloyd Orriel – Graduate Transport Planner Section 1 - Background Description: Bridge Road, is a key link on the outer bypass and Exeter’s Strategic Cycle Network and is critical to the transport infrastructure of Exeter. It provides an important link across the River Exe on the Exeter bypass providing access to the city centre and Sowton and Marsh Barton industrial estates. The bridge road widening scheme delivers two lanes outbound on Bridge Road from the existing merge/lane drop to the junction with the A379 and Sannerville Way and improvements to pedestrian cycle facilities along Bridge Road. Reason for change and Proposed strategic developments on either side of Bridge Road will increase pressure on an already busy Bridge options appraisal: Road corridor, which has an important strategic function, being one of the few crossings of the River Exe. The scheme will have a significant impact by increasing capacity. By providing two lanes outbound the scheme will reduce queuing and exit blocking at Countess Wear, improving conditions for traffic exiting the city. The scheme helps to unlock development whilst providing reliable journey times. 1 Section 2 - Key impacts and recommendations Social/equality impacts: The scheme will provide positive social impacts for commuter and will enhance an existing leisure cycle route. There should also be an improved environment for employees and visitors to nearby employment sites such as Marsh Barton Industrial Estate. Environmental impacts: The proposal involves marginal land-take adjoining an existing well used road corridor. Considerate placement of the scheme on the north side of the Countess Wear Bridge has avoided potentially significant impacts on the nationally and internationally protected Exe Estuary statutory site. Additional measures have been taken to protect mature oak trees sited in close proximity to the scheme. There will be a neutral impact on air quality and the scheme will reduce stationary queuing traffic. Improving traffic flow also has the advantage of improving the fuel efficiency of engines and reducing carbon emissions. Economic impacts: The scheme will improve end to end journey times, primarily at peak times. It will achieve this by reducing delay and queuing on Bridge Road and, consequently reducing exit blocking at Countess Wear roundabout. Other impacts (partner Widening of the road, has led to better accessibility and potential for business growth at either end of Bridge agencies, services, DCC Road. It will help facilitate new housing at either end of the scheme facilitating 3,500 houses at Newcourt and policies, possible 2,500 houses at South West Exeter.

Diversity profile and needs The carriageway widening scheme is not expected to disadvantage any particular group of people with protected assessment of affected characteristics. The enhancements to the shared use path running parallel to the scheme will benefit people with people: disabilities and parents with prams. Other stakeholders: Exeter and East Devon Growth Point; Highways England; Statutory Environmental Bodies (English Heritage, Environment Agency, Natural England), Network Rail; Exeter City Council, Teignbridge District Council Consultation process: The Bridge Road scheme was previously considered as part of the Exeter Principal Urban Area (PUA) Improvement Scheme, which itself was being prepared for a Major Scheme Business Case (MSBC) submission to the Department for Transport (DfT) before the comprehensive spending review in 2010. The Devon and Torbay Local Transport Plan 2011-2026 refers to the scheme within the Exeter Core Strategy. The local transport plan was subject to a rigorous consultation prior to adoption in March 2011. Research and information None used: 3 Background Analysis This section describes how relevant questions and issues have been explored during the options appraisal. Section 4a - Social Impacts Giving Due Regard to Equality and Human Rights The local authority must consider how people will be affected by the service, policy or practice. In so doing we must give due regard to the need to: Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation Advance equality of opportunity and Foster good relations. Where relevant, we must take into account the protected characteristics of age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership, sexual orientation, race, and religion and belief. This means considering how people with different needs get the different services they require and are not disadvantaged, and facilities are available to them on an equal basis in order to meet their needs; advancing equality of opportunity by recognising the disadvantages to which protected groups are subject and considering how they can be overcome. We also need to ensure that human rights are protected. In particular, that people have: A reasonable level of choice in where and how they live their life and interact with others (this is an aspect of the human right to ‘private and family life’). An appropriate level of care which results in dignity and respect (the protection to a private and family life, protection from torture and the freedom of thought, belief and religion within the Human Rights Act and elimination of discrimination and the promotion of good relations under the Equality Act 2010). A right to life (ensuring that nothing we do results in unlawful or unnecessary/avoidable death). 4 The Equality Act 2010 and other relevant legislation does not prevent the Council from taking difficult decisions which result in service reductions or closures for example, it does however require the Council to ensure that such decisions are: • Informed and properly considered with a rigorous, conscious approach and open mind • Done so, taking due regard of the effects on the protected characteristics and the general duty to eliminate discrimination*, advance equality and foster good relations. *This means that the decision will not result in unlawful direct or indirect discrimination, harassment or victimisation in relation to the provision of services and functions, education, premises, work or associations. • Proportionate (negative impacts are proportionate to the aims of the policy decision) • Fair • Necessary • Reasonable, and • Those affected have been adequately consulted.

Sediment yields in the Exe Basin: a longer-term perspective ANNA HARLOW, BRUCE WEBB & DES WALLING School of Geography, Archaeology and Earth Resources, Department of Geography, Amory Building, Rennes Drive, Exeter EX4 4RJ, UK [email protected] Abstract In the UK, fine sediment is viewed increasingly as a diffuse pollu- tant due to its role as a vector for the transport of potential contaminants, and in causing siltation, which may have adverse effects on river and estuarine habitats. There is a need, therefore, for river managers to have reliable information on sediment budgets in order to plan measures that will achieve “good” status under the EU Water Framework Directive. As part of a wider sediment-budget investigation in the EU-funded Cycleau Project, detailed records of fine sediment yield over the 10-year period from 1994–2003 have been analysed for the Exe Basin (1500 km2), a principal river system of southwest England. The longer-term average yields in the three major tributaries of the Exe Basin are discussed and results of monitoring of sediment loads at a site near the tidal limit over a one-year period confirm the importance of the River Exe in contributing sediment to the Estuary. Key words diffuse pollution; Exe Basin and estuary; longer-term behaviour; suspended sediment yields INTRODUCTION River systems provide a key pathway along which fine sediment (silt and clay particles of <63 µm in diameter) is transferred from the terrestrial to the estuarine environment.

    Accompanying Notes to the ‘Exhibition’: Photographs of the River Exe and its flood channel as it flows through Exeter. Karen Huckvale 2005 A Brief History of the River Exe. The River Exe is close to the origin, patterns of settlement and trading heart of the city of Exeter, the route of imports, exports, waste disposal and communication. Exeter was an international trading place from pre Roman times. A considerable number of Hellenistic or Eastern Mediterranean coins have been found in excavations within the city which indicate there was trade and significant connections between the ‘Exeter’ site and with the Mediterranean countries from around 250 BCE. The people who lived in Exeter before the Romans came were a Celtic tribe known as the Dumnonii. Some of them were traders but they were mostly farming and fishing people. The Exe in those days was full of salmon and the word Exe may derive from a British word Eisca meaning, ‘a river abounding in fish.’ The Romans occupied the site in 49 AD and gave it the name of Isca Dumnoniorum meaning Isca, capital city of the Dumnonii. Then in about AD 120 they began building: houses, public buildings a regular street pattern and substantial high earth banks around the town. These were superseded in 200 AD with a wall which became the line of the medieval city walls. The Romans must also have had a bridge over the Exe. Whilst nothing remains it seems pretty certain that there was a timber bridge similar to that built over the Thames in Roman London.

  • The Evolution of the Rivers of East Devon and South Somerset, UK
    R.W. Gallois THE EVOLUTION OF THE RIVERS OF EAST DEVON AND SOUTH SOMERSET , UK R.W.G ALLOIS Gallois, R.W. 2006. The evolution of the rivers of east Devon and south Somerset, UK. Geoscience in south-west England, 11 , 205-213. With the exception of the River Tone, which appears to have been separated at an early stage from its neighbours to the south by a major fault, the rivers of south Somerset and east Devon were initiated on a southward dipping Tertiary planation surface. The evolutionary histories of the present-day catchments of the rivers Exe and Otter are complex and inter-related. Those of the adjacent Axe and Teign appear to be less complex and may have evolved relatively independently from the Exe-Otter system. The differences in the histories of the catchments are most clearly demonstrated by their terrace systems. The Exe-Otter catchment has 10 or more terrace levels at heights of up to 140 m above the modern floodplain. In contrast, the Axe, Teign and Tone catchments contain only one or two terrace levels all of which are less than 20 m above the present-day valley floor. The explanation suggested here for the difference involves a sequence of river captures that changed the forerunner of the present-day Otter from a major river capable of producing a 3-km wide gravelly braidplain into a minor stream. 92 Stoke Valley Road, Exeter, EX4 5ER, U.K. (E-mail: [email protected]).

  • Two Devon Families in Jamaica: a Local Association with Slavery by Gillian Allen
    Two Devon families in Jamaica: a local association with slavery by Gillian Allen Maritime South West No 21 (2008); Revised 21/07/2017 My perspective on slavery I take the view, first propounded by Eric Williams in ‘Capitalism and Slavery’, that slavery was not a marginal enterprise but that it was central to the development of the British economy in the 18th century. It produced capital for the industrial revolution; it prompted the development of financial institutions and the improvement of shipping and the navy. It was central to the development of the prosperity we enjoy today. It was also a major step on the road to globalisation, bringing together disparate parts of the world in one economic enterprise, with the founding of multi-cultural societies. By the same token, the Transatlantic Trade in Africans left a legacy of tribal conflict in West Africa, and of poverty in Africa and the Caribbean, and of the racism which hampers the participation of black people in our prosperity even today. My view is that it is important for us to know about our own history and to address the issues that arise from it. The extent of our involvement in an iniquitous system has been denied, hushed up and erased from the history books. I believe that it is behoves us to uncover that hidden history, to understand and discuss it, and to come to terms with it. I think that a thorough examination of our history will enable us to admit to our latent racism and to begin to establish a more honest dialogue among the inheritors of the legacy of slavery – the black people on either side of the Atlantic, and the whites; the enslaved and the enslavers.

  • Copepoda from the Littoral Region of the Estuary of The
    COPEPODA FROM THE LITTORAL REGION OF THE ESTUARY OF THE RIVER EXE (DEVON, ENGLAND) BY J. B. J. WELLS Department of Zoology, Exeter University, Great Britain 1) During the period 1959-1960 a survey was made of the microfauna of the sand and mud banks of the estuary of the River Exe. Regular monthly sampling at several locations within the area gave information on the inter-tidal distribution of the fauna and it is hoped to publish this elsewhere in detail. The survey was undertaken with especial reference to the Copepoda and this paper gives an account of the species found. Fig. 1 shows the location of the 22 stations at which sampling took place. These can be grouped as follows with regard to the substrate: MARINE STATIONS ExMBC (clean sand, grade varying from Wentworth Grade Medium on the upper shore to Granule on the lower shore). ExOP (clean sand, Medium Grade throughout). ESTUARINE STATIONS Stations II, XIV and XV (a): clean sand. Stations I, X, XII, XIII and XVI (a): muddy sand. Stations III, IV, V, VII, IX (b), XI, XV (b) and XVI (b): mud. Stations VIII and IX (a): gravel. In addition samples of marine algae were taken at Station XVII and of the flora (Spartina town.rendii Groves and Obione portulacoide.r Moq. Tand. ) of a mud flat which was partially covered at high tide (Station XVI (c)). 96 species of harpacticoid and cyclopoid copepods were found of which 22 have not previously been recorded in Great Britain (marked * in the following list). HARPACTICOIDA Canuellidae Canuella f urcigera Sars, 1903 Stations II; IX (b); X; XI; XII; XIII, common.
