Forecast Report WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff Somerset County Council Project No 287584CQ-PTT October 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Modelling work has been undertaken to assess the impact of proposed development sites beyond the current Core Strategy period. Forecasts were created for the 2032 AM (08:00 to 09:00) and PM (17:00 to 18:00) peak hours to test the impact of five potential development sites within Sedgemoor, in comparison with a ‘Core Scenario’: à Core Scenario à Site 1: Land to the west of Bridgwater – Core Scenario plus 1,200 dwellings, primary school and the relocation of Haygrove School. à Site 2: Land at East Bridgwater – Core Scenario plus 800 dwellings and a primary school à Site 3: Land north of Chilton Trinity – Core Scenario plus 2,500 dwellings plus a primary school, 2,500m2 B1 development and 27,000m2 B8 development à Site 4: Land at South Bridgwater – Core Scenario plus 300 dwellings à Site 5: Land at Huntworth – Core Scenario plus 5,338m2 B1 development and 22,257m2 B8 development à Scenario A – Core Scenario plus the inclusion of Sites 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 à Scenario B – Core Scenario plus the inclusion of Sites 1 and 3 à Scenario C – Core Scenario plus the inclusion of Sites 2, 4 and 5 The results of the individual site assessments forecast that Sites 1 (Land to the West of Bridgwater) and Site 3 (Land at Chilton Trinity) would have the greatest traffic impacts. The modelling also demonstrates that a single point of access for Site 3, from Dunball Roundabout or elsewhere on Bristol Road, is unlikely to be sufficient. Site 2 (Land at East Bridgwater) is forecast to have the least impact upon the highway network and is not anticipated to result in increased congestion or delay. This report identifies issues but not potential solutions. Following discussion with stakeholders it is expected that work will be undertaken to identify appropriate transport improvements to support the development sites, with modelling to determine those which are most suitable. Bridgwater Transport Options - Forecast Report WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff Somerset County Council Project No 287584CQ-PTT October 2016 1 1 PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1 INTRODUCTION 1.1.1 WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff has been commissioned by Somerset County Council (SCC) to undertake traffic modelling in relation to the formulation and assessment of Transport Options for Bridgwater on behalf of Sedgemoor District Council (SDC). The outcome of this study will ultimately be used as part of the evidence base for the upcoming Local Plan (Core Strategy Review) to be developed by Sedgemoor District Council. This report outlines the traffic forecasting that has been undertaken using the existing TSTM3 SATURN Traffic Model, owned by SCC. 1.1.2 Due to the potential need to test schemes to

  • South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.
