and UKPP (Toton) Ltd to provide transport and highways advice on their proposed residential led development at Lime Rise on land west of Toton Lane, in Nottinghamshire. 1.2 This document forms the Transport Assessment (TA) for the proposed development, and has been produced to accompany the outline planning application for the development of the site and to support the Environmental Impact Assessment report. 1.3 Assessment of the transport impacts of the proposed development has been undertaken using the Greater Nottingham Transport Model (GNTM), in accordance with the modelling protocol agreed with the local highway authorities and the Highways Agency (HA). 1.4 A project meeting between the local highway authority, Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC), the neighbouring highway authorities of Nottingham City Council (NCiC) and Derbyshire County Council (DCC), the HA and BWB Consulting Ltd took place on 11 November 2011 to review the project proposals and agree the methodology for modelling the transport effects of the development within the GNTM. This TA accords with the methodology agreed at that meeting and within the subsequent reports and correspondence. Copies of the meeting minutes and relevant reports and correspondence are given at Appendix A. 1.5 A Framework Travel Plan for the development has been prepared by BWB Consulting Ltd, as a separate document, and also accompanies the outline planning application for the proposed development. This TA should be read in conjunction with the Framework Travel Plan. Background 1.6 BWB Consulting Ltd have previously prepared a Scoping Study and TA for development of the site. The Scoping Study was submitted to the HA and NCC on 11 November 2009. The report was agreed by the HA on 30 November 2009. The HA agreed the person trip rates, trip distribution and assignment, assessment year, modal split and study area. 1 LIME RISE, TOTON AND STAPLEFORD TRANSPORT ASSESSMENT NTT301 TA REV 4 1.7 NCC also provided their comments on the Scoping Study on 30 November 2009. NCC deferred agreement of the trip generation and modal split to the HA. However NCC stated that assessment of the development impacts should be undertaken using the then Nottingham Housing Area model, now known as the GNTM. 1.8 BWB Consulting Ltd met with NCC to understand the availability of the HMA/GNTM, and at the time NCC advised that the model was not yet available for use in development control work. Timescales and the process for using the HMA/GNTM were therefore explored and reported back to the Client. At the time it was considered by the Client that to fully engage in the HMA/GNTM modelling process would lead to an unacceptable delay in submission of the planning application for the development. A TA report and Travel Plan were therefore prepared in the traditional manner in the absence of being able to model the site within the GNTM. 1.9 The TA and Travel Plan were submitted to the HA and NCC for pre-application consultation in March 2010. The reports examined the proposed development of the site for 1000 residential dwellings, along with employment, retail and leisure uses. 1.10 Comments were received from the HA on the pre-application TA and Travel Plan in June 2010. No comments were received from NCC at the time. Although following subsequent enquires NCC supplied their comments in April 2011 (originally prepared in May 2010). Copies of the HA’s and NCC’s comments are given at Appendix B. 1.11 Within their comments NCC restate that the pre-application TA did not accord with the Nottingham HMA modelling protocol which requires the transport impacts of all major developments to be examined using the model. Therefore they considered that the previous TA was incomplete and insufficient to support a planning application. 1.12 As noted within Section 1.3. above, this TA report has therefore been updated to include assessment of the development in accordance with the modelling protocol and in line with the methodology agreed with the three local highway authorities and the HA.
