The site is currently used by Islington Health Care as part office and part storage/workshops in connection with their health service. The front part of the building is the offices with the rear part as the storage/workshops. 1.3 This Transport Statement considers both the existing and proposed uses on the site. 1.4 Firstly, in Section 2, the site and surrounding area are detailed before details of the existing uses on the site for offices and storage/workshops are given (in Section 3) including multi-modal trip rates and potential numbers. 1.5 Details are then provided in Section 4 relating to the proposed Apart-Hotel and residential dwellings including trip rates for the potential multi-modal trips. 1.6 Finally, the accessibility of the site is discussed in Section 5. 3 2.0 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE AND SURROUNDING HIGHWAY NETWORK 2.1 The site is located to the southeast of St. John’s Grove at its junction with Pemberton Gardens. The site is actually addressed as 1A, Pemberton Gardens although the access for the site is off St. John’s Grove. 2.2 St. John’s Grove, in front of the site, is a wide road with end on parking on the site side. St. John’s Grove/Pemberton Gardens are part of a 20 mph zone with traffic calming present to keep vehicle speeds low. 2.3 There is a raised table crossing point at the junction of St. John’s Grove with A1, Holloway Road on the St. John’s Grove entrance. Both St. John’s Grove and Pemberton Gardens are residential streets and both connect to A400 Junction Road at their western ends. There are zebra crossings across both St. John’s Grove and Pemberton Gardens immediately to the southwest of the site. 2.4 Holloway Road forms part of the A1 route from Central London towards the North Circular and M1 to the north. In the vicinity of the site it is a single carriageway road with commercial/retail units on both sides. There are bus lanes in both directions in Holloway Road past the end of St Johns Grove and a wide footpath on the southwestern side of the road in front of the shops adjacent to St. John’s Grove. 2.5 There are bus stops in Holloway Road approximately 120 metres from the site with a signalled pelican crossing across Holloway Road, immediately adjacent to Fairbridge Road. Also, approximately 150 metres from the site, is Upper Holloway railway station on the Gospel Oak to Barking London Overground line. 2.6 To the northeast is the Archway gyratory junction which also has the Archway underground station (approximately 350 metres from the site) at this location. 4 Signal controlled pedestrian facilities are available at the signal junction at the Archway gyratory to assist pedestrians to cross these busy roads to access bus and underground facilities. 2.7 Further bus services are available in Junction Road just to the south of Archway at approximately 400 metres from the site. Most of these same services are also accessible via St. John’s Grove, again, at approximately 400 metres from the site. 2.8 There are also further bus services on the gyratory in Highgate Hill again approximately 400 metres from the site. 2.9 The development, therefore, at 1A, Pemberton Gardens is in an appropriate location for accessibility by a choice of means of transport including walking, cycling and use of the public transport network, for a proportion of trips to and from that development. Details of the potential multi-modal trips to and from the potential uses of the site are given in later sections. 2.10 Further, details of the public transport network are also provided in a subsequent section. 5 3.0 EXISTING USE 3.1 As already indicated, the buildings on the site have been used by Islington Health Care as part office and part storage/workshops. These two elements have, therefore, been considered separately. 3.2 Firstly, the offices are understood to consist of a total of 387 sq. metres GFA. It is necessary firstly, to establish the relevant trip rates for offices. 3.3 It is possible, through use of the nationally recognised TRICS database, to establish the relevant trip rates, by mode of transport, for offices in the Greater London area. Please see Appendix B for copies of the relevant TRICS printouts. 3.4 From TRICS the relevant trip rates for the network peak hours of 08.00 to 09.00 hours and 17.00 to 18.00 hours have been established together with the daily trip rates. The relevant trip rates have been established for the following:- (i) No. of vehicles (ii) Vehicle occupants (iii) Pedestrians (iv) Cyclists (v) Public Transport (vi) Total people (i) Vehicles 3.5 From TRICS, the following trip rates can be established in order to calculate the number of vehicles that will be generated to and from the existing office element:- Arrivals Departures 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 0.158 0.039 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 0.048 0.182 Daily 1.444 1.301 The above trip rates are in vehicles/100 sq. metres 6 Please see Appendix B for the relevant TRICS printouts. 3.5 Applying these trip rates to the existing 387 sq. metres of B1 offices, the following traffic flows can be calculated:- Arrivals Departures Two-Way 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 1 0 1 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 0 1 1 Daily 6 5 11 (ii) Vehicle Occupants 3.6 It is also possible from the TRICS database to establish the trip rates for the total number of people that travel by vehicles to the site i.e., including passengers. Therefore, the relevant trip rates for vehicle occupants are as follows:- Arrivals Departures 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 0.175 0.044 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 0.066 0.207 Daily 1.857 1.632 The above trip rates are the number of vehicle occupants/100 sq. metres Please also see Appendix B for the relevant TRICS printouts. 3.7 Applying these trip rates to the existing office floorspace, the following number of vehicle occupants can be established:- Arrivals Departures Two-Way 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 1 0 1 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 0 1 1 Daily 7 6 13 7 It is now possible, utilising the appropriate trip rates established above, to calculate the average vehicle occupancy during each of the time periods as follows:- Average Vehicle Occupancy 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 1.1 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 1.2 Daily 1.3 (iii) Pedestrians 3.8 Once again, from the TRICS database, it is possible to establish the relevant trip rates for the number of pedestrians travelling to and from the offices as follows:- Arrivals Departures 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 0.148 0.042 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 0.078 0.214 Daily 3.863 3.793 The above trip rates are pedestrians/100 sq. metres Please also see Appendix B for the relevant TRICS printouts. 3.9 Applying these trip rates to the existing office floorspace, the following number of pedestrians travelling to and from the site can be established:- Arrivals Departures Two-Way 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 1 0 1 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 0 1 1 Daily 15 15 30 (iv) Cyclists 3.10 Once again, from the TRICS database, the relevant trip rates for the number of cyclists travelling to and from the existing offices can be established as follows:- 8 Arrivals Departures 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 0.105 0.002 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 0.002 0.092 Daily 0.351 0.310 The above trip rates are for cyclists/100 sq. metres Please also see Appendix B for the relevant TRICS printouts. 3.11 Applying these trip rates to the existing office floorspace, the number of potential cyclists travelling to and from the site can be calculated as follows:- Arrivals Departures Two-Way 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 0 0 0 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 0 0 0 Daily 1 1 2 (v) Public Transport 3.12 Once again from the TRICS database, the following trip rates can be established for the number of people who may travel to and from the proposed offices primarily by public transport:- Arrivals Departures 08.00 – 09.00 hrs 0.925 0.007 17.00 – 18.00 hrs 0.085 1.348 Daily 4.380 3.867 The above trip rates are the number of people travelling by PT/100 sq.

  • The Operator's Story Appendix
    Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Appendix: London’s Story © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London Community of Metros CoMET The Operator’s Story: Notes from London Case Study Interviews February 2017 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a permanent record for the researchers of what was said by people interviewed for ‘The Operator’s Story’ in London. These notes are based upon 14 meetings between 6th-9th October 2015, plus one further meeting in January 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and TfL. However, in some cases it is noted that a comment was made by an individual external not employed by TfL (‘external commentator’), where it is appropriate to draw a distinction between views expressed by TfL themselves and those expressed about their organisation.

  • London Assembly out of Frustration with the Lack of Response
    Appendix 1 Environment Committee - Thursday, 16 March 2017 Transcript of Item 5 – Tube Noise Leonie Cooper AM (Chair): That brings us rather rapidly to our first item on Tube noise. This has been the subject of much correspondence from those afflicted with the problem and we are very fortunate to have a number of people with us this morning who are going to be able to speak to how it has been impacting on them and their neighbourhood and their neighbours. We are also very fortunate to have some guests from Transport for London (TfL) who are, hopefully, going to be able to explain some of the ins and outs of the solutions and how quickly they may or may not be applied. Just to introduce our guests, we have Richard Collins. You are very welcome. He is from the Barbican Association, which has a working group on Underground issues. We have Ian Kitson, who is a resident in Marylebone. You are very welcome as well. We have Liz Lawson, who is from the Archway Tube Noise Action Group. We have Razana Yoosuf, who is a resident in Mornington Crescent. We also have with us from TfL Helen Woolston [Sustainability Co-ordinator, London Underground] and Duncan Weir [Head of Operational Upgrades & Asset Development, London Underground]. You are all very welcome and we are very grateful for you joining us today to discuss the impacts, which we are going to start with now. I have probably asked our guests who are affected by Tube noise to start by doing something almost impossible.

  • Temporary Changes to Bus Services for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
    Temporary changes to bus services for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Position as of June 2012 Temporary service changes during the 2012 Games Planning the temporary changes The London bus network will remain central to the day-to-day functioning of the Capital during the 2012 Games. It will also play a role in moving Games spectators and workers. In planning the temporary changes to the network, our objectives have been to: - Maintain London’s comprehensive bus network while accommodating any temporary changes on the road network - Enhance capacity where appropriate, to meet increased demand We have considered the impacts of temporary changes to the road network needed to deliver the Games, including the Olympic Route Network (ORN) and Paralympic Route Network (PRN). The temporary changes will include measures such as restricted turns and road closures. Where these changes require bus diversions, we have tried to maintain good passenger links as far as possible. We have also compared forecasts of spectator and workforce demand with existing capacity. Road events Further temporary changes will be needed on days when Games road events take place. Details are included on a day-by-day basis in the appendix. Service alterations are subject to change if operational requirements vary during the Games. The changes, and the need to ‘check before you travel’, will be publicised to passengers well in advance of the Games using a combination of print, online and on- board electronic information. Duration Where capacity is to be enhanced, this will be for the duration of the relevant events. Most of the east London enhancements will run from the day of the Opening Ceremony to the day of the Closing Ceremony.
