Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan: Baseline Transport Conditions Report Appendix A Appendix A DEVON COUNTY COUNCIL - BASELINE TRAFFIC REPORT Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan - Baseline Transport Conditions Report WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff Plymouth City Council Project No 70026293 Public February 2017 Baseline Traffic Report Prepared to inform the Plymouth & South West Devon Joint Local Plan February 2017 Prepared by Rory Millar Assistant Transportation Planning Officer February 2017 Gina Small Principal Transportation Planning Officer February 2017 Authorised for use by Jamie Hulland Transport and Road Safety Manager February 2017 Enquiries For enquiries, please contact: Planning, Transport and Environment Devon County Council AB2 Lucombe House County Hall Topsham Road Exeter Devon EX2 4QD 2 1. Introduction 1.1 Plymouth City Council, South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council are preparing a Joint Local Plan; the plan period will cover 2014- 2034. This report sets out the baseline traffic and transport conditions in the key towns of: Ivybridge, Tavistock, Totnes and Okehampton specifically. It also refers to further work that needs to be done to help understand the Infrastructure requirements for the Thriving Towns and Villages Policy Area over the next few months. The work compliments the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan Baseline Transport Conditions Report. 1.2 Kingsbridge and Dartmouth are the two other towns that make up the six Thriving Towns and Villages referred to in the Joint Local Plan. However these have not been included within this report as the levels of development proposed in the two towns beyond what has already been committed falls below the threshold (500 dwellings) included in this transport report. 1.3 The A385, A386, A379 corridors are discussed in the following chapters and are also detailed in the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan Baseline Transport Conditions Report. 1.4 The Devon Transport Infrastructure Plan sets out planned investment in transport infrastructure across Devon covering the period 2014 to 2030. It complements the Local Transport Plan 2011-2026 which sets out the transport strategy for the county and the detailed infrastructure delivery plans relating to district council Local Plan development. 3 2. Ivybridge 2.1. Background 2.1.1 The town of Ivybridge is situated in the western part of South Hams District Council, approximately 20 km east of Plymouth city centre. The accessibility of Ivybridge to Plymouth by road is very high as it is located in close proximity to the A38 Devon Expressway. Exeter is also accessible from Ivybridge via the A38 and by rail and is situated approximately 50km to the east. 2.1.2 Figure 1 below shows the geographic location of Ivybridge. © Crown Copyright and database right 2017. Ordnance Survey 100019783 Figure 1 - Map of Ivybridge Population and Future Development 2.1.3 The 2011 Census revealed that Ivybridge is the largest town in the South Hams District Council area with a population of approximately 12,000. It has experienced major expansion since the 1960s, particularly throughout the 1980s and 1990s. 2.1.4 The emerging plan allocates 1079 new dwellings at Ivybridge; of which 637 already have consent. The largest development is at East of Ivybridge where 540 dwellings allocated already have part consent. There are 200 dwellings allocated at Filham which is also in the eastern part of the town. In the western part of Ivybridge, 100 dwellings are proposed for land at Stibb; 74 dwellings are allocated at Woodland Road and 38 are proposed for Cornwood Road. The potential sites for allocation in Ivybridge are shown below (Plymouth & South West Devon Joint Local Plan 2017). 4 Figure 2: Joint Local Plan – Ivybridge – Potential sites for allocation Commuting Trends 2.1.5 Only 28.8% of the Ivybridge population work in the town which is a relatively small number. The main flow for work is towards Plymouth with 31.1% of the Ivybridge population working there, 85.6% commute by car which is very high due to the proximity of the town to the A38. This evidences the fact that Ivybridge currently serves predominantly as a commuter town for the city of Plymouth. By comparison, 2.3% of people commute to Exeter for work. 2.2 Current Transport Context 2.2.1 The town has access constraints which limits the opportunity for growth. Its proximity to Dartmoor National Park to the north also acts as a natural barrier to growth. However the town is served well by transport, in respect of its access to the A38 rail services and National Cycle Network (NCN) 2. Road Network 2.2.2 Ivybridge is well connected to Plymouth to the west and Exeter to the east via the A38 trunk road. Table 1 below summarises the 24 hour and 12 hour annual average daily traffic flows (eastbound and westbound) in the vicinity of Ivybridge for the years 2013, 2014 and 2015: 12 24 hour hour Direction Year AADT AADT 2013 24410 20310 Westbound 2014 25100 20860 2015 25420 21110 2013 24610 20830 Eastbound 2014 25120 21170 2015 25560 21480 Table 1 - A38 Flows 5 2.2.3 The average 24 hour flows have grown by approximately 1,000 vehicles in the period from 2013 to 2015 equating to an increase of approximately 4%. 2.2.4 The B3213 runs through the centre of the town from east to west. Marjorie Kelly Way and Leonards Road are two sections of the B3213 that act as a bypass of the town centre, while Western Road and Exeter Road approach the town centre from the west and the east respectively. The map below shows the road layout in Ivybridge. Exeter Road Leonards Western Road Road Marjorie A38 Kelly Way © Crown Copyright and database right 2017. Ordnance Survey 100019783 Figure 3: Ivybridge Road Network 2.2.5 There are perceived congestion problems along the B3213, particularly on Western Road approaching the junction with the roundabout that serves the A38. A traffic study has been commissioned to understand some of the traffic issues along the B3213 and what possible mitigation can be achieved to improve traffic flow. The study will undertake vehicle count movements and queue length analysis at each of the junctions to assess the suitability of improvements identified. The results of this study will be provided at a later date. 2.2.6 Other roads in the area are the A379 which runs approximately 4 km to the south of the town on its route between Plymouth and the South Devon coast. The A38 and the A379 are connected by the A3121. Rail 2.2.7 With regard to rail, Ivybridge sits on the South Devon Main Line which connects Exeter and Plymouth. The services from Ivybridge to Plymouth are non-stop with a journey time of approximately 15 minutes. 2.2.8 The station was opened approximately 1km to the east of the town centre in 1994 however it could be argued that it has not fulfilled its undoubted potential which can partly be attributed to the limited local service and the very few High Speed Trains to and from London Paddington that call at Ivybridge. The 6 platform is also not long enough for Cross Country Trains to stop at the station. Ivybridge Station Patronage 100,000 90,000 80,000 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 Station Patronage 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 Year Figure 4: Ivybridge Station Patronage 2.2.9 The patronage peaked at 86,000 in 2011/12 however it had dropped to below 60,000 in 2014/15 providing evidence that the station is not being used as much as first anticipated. The graph also illustrates that there has been a drop in patronage in recent years which could perhaps be attributed to there no longer being any bus services serving Ivybridge railway station. 2.2.10 It is anticipated that if there were more trains each day it is expected that considerably more people would use the station, however this would need to be balanced with the need to provide fast rail times in and out of Plymouth Central station. There are proposals for development in the vicinity of the station which may encourage the use of rail as a means of transport into Plymouth. 2.2.11 Almost two thirds of passengers walk to the station from within half a mile away. The train service at the station may not attract many passengers from the wider area away due to the existing rail heads at Totnes and Plymouth having more frequent services and good long distance connections while Ivybridge station is no longer served by buses. 2.2.12 Better integration between bus and rail, as well as an increased number of trains calling at Ivybridge, may help boost the patronage in the future particularly as development is planned in the area around the railway station. Bus 2.2.13 There is a half hourly Stagecoach Gold service for the majority of the day between Plymouth and Totnes that serves Ivybridge. The journey time for this service is 25 minutes. The X38 service is another service connecting Ivybridge and Plymouth with a journey time of 25 minutes however this bus is infrequent running only once every two hours. In addition, the Plymouth 7 Citybus 20A service runs buses between Ivybridge and Plymouth hourly throughout the day however the journey time for this is approximately one hour as it takes a slower route via Plympton. Cycling 2.2.14 Route NCN 2 of the National Cycle Network connects Ivybridge to Plymouth. The Devon strategic cycle map can be viewed in Appendix 1.

  • Trojans at Totnes and Giants on the Hoe: Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historical Fiction and Geographical Reality
    Rep. Trans. Devon. Ass. Advmt Sci., 148, 89−130 © The Devonshire Association, June 2016 (Figures 1–8) Trojans at Totnes and Giants on the Hoe: Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historical Fiction and Geographical Reality John Clark MA, FSA, FMA Curator Emeritus, Museum of London, and Honorary Reader, University College London Institute of Archaeology Geoffrey of Monmouth’s largely fi ctional History of the Kings of Britain, written in the 1130s, set the landing place of his legendary Trojan colonists of Britain with their leader Brutus on ‘the coast of Totnes’ – or rather, on ‘the Totnesian coast’. This paper considers, in the context of Geoffrey’s own time and the local topography, what he meant by this phrase, which may refl ect the authority the Norman lords of Totnes held over the River Dart or more widely in the south of Devon. We speculate about the location of ‘Goemagot’s Leap’, the place where Brutus’s comrade Corineus hurled the giant Goemagot or Gogmagog to his death, and consider the giant fi gure ‘Gogmagog’ carved in the turf of Plymouth Hoe, the discovery of ‘giants’ bones’ in the seventeenth century, and the possible signifi cance of Salcombe’s red-stained rocks. THE TROJANS – AND OTHERS – IN DEVON Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) was completed in about 1136, and quickly became, in medieval terms, a best-seller. To all appearance it comprised what ear- lier English historians had said did not exist – a detailed history of 89 DDTRTR 1148.indb48.indb 8899 004/01/174/01/17 111:131:13 AAMM 90 Trojans at Totnes Britain and its people from their beginnings right up to the decisive vic- tory of the invading Anglo-Saxons in the seventh century AD.
