The Variation Order application concerns a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system through Birmingham City Centre. 1.1.2 If made, The Variation Order would authorise a variation of approximately 100 metres of alignment of the tramway authorised by the Midland Metro (Birmingham City Centre Extension, etc.) Order 2005 (hereafter referred to as the ‘2005 Order’) at Paradise Street in the centre of Birmingham. It would also revive powers of compulsory acquisition under the 2005 Order, which expired in 2010, and would authorise the acquisition of the small additional amount of land required to facilitate the realignment to the route (hereafter referred to as ‘The Variation’). 1.1.3 The application for the 2005 Order was accompanied by a number of documents; amongst them an ES 1 that was published in February 2003. During the consideration of the 2005 Order application, the original ES that had formed part of the application was scrutinised; in particular, it was the subject of a Public Local Inquiry held between 2 December 2003 and 13 January 2004. The Secretary of State (SoS) for Transport had considered the Inspector’s Public Inquiry report and was satisfied with his conclusions and recommendations. The SoS for Transport also agreed with the Inspector that deemed planning permission under the 2005 Order should be granted subject to planning conditions as set out in the SoS for Transport’s letter of 1 July 2005 (a copy of which is contained within ES Volume 2C – The Variation Scoping Report and Opinion 2). In view of the statutory consenting process that the original ES (hereafter referred to as the ‘2005 ES’) had already completed, the 2005 ES is appended to The Variation ES (ES Volume 2A – 2005 ES) for ease of reference, rather than for further comment. 1.1.4 This document is The Variation ES Volume 1 – Main Statement. It assesses any different or new environmental impacts that may result from the proposed realignment and associated changes, considers impacts significance, and where required proposes appropriate mitigation measures to address any potentially significant impacts. The ES also focuses on identifying the difference between the previously consented scheme under the 2005 Order and The Variation. 1 The Midland Metro Birmingham City Centre Extension Scheme: Environmental Statement (February 2003) was compiled by Environmental Resources Management. 2 Environmental Scoping Report for The Variation, published on behalf of Centro by Mott MacDonald in March 2013 for the purpose of the request of a formal Scoping Opinion. 1 300207/MMD/CS21/0000/0001 26 November 2013 Midland Metro BCCE: Paradise Circus Variation Environmental Statement Volume 1: Main Statement 1.2 Background 1.2.1 Centro is responsible for the Birmingham Midland Metro LRT system. In 2003, Centro applied to the SoS for Transport for an Order under the TWA to construct and operate an extension to Line 1 of the Metro system (‘the Birmingham City Centre Extension’, or the ‘2005 Scheme’). 1.2.2 The 2005 Scheme is being delivered in phases. Discharge of the relevant pre-commencement planning conditions under the 2005 Order began in 2010. Phase 1, between Snow Hill and Stephenson Street is under construction and is due to open in 2015. Phase 2, from Stephenson Street to Centenary Square (also known as the Centenary Square Extension - CSQ) is planned to be operational in 2017. 1.2.3 Since the authorisation of the 2005 Scheme, further city centre regeneration projects have emerged. One of these is the Paradise Circus Redevelopment (PCR) which received outline planning consent in early 2013 for a mix of commercial, retail and leisure uses on a 7 hectare site at Paradise Circus to be phased over a period of 13 years to be fully operational by 2026 (planning reference 2012/05116/PA). PCR is a joint venture between the developer (Argent) and Birmingham City Council (BCC). PCR will remove the current gyratory system at Paradise Circus, introduce major changes to traffic movements, and create new roads and access/egress into the PCR site. The delivery of CSQ and its associated works will be partly met through a Section 106 agreement 3 that was completed by BCC, Argent (Paradise) Limited, Argent Group PLC, and Altitude Real Estate LLP on 7 February 2013. 1.2.4 Centro has been working with the developer and BCC firstly to ensure that the PCR will accommodate the authorised alignment of the 2005 Scheme, and secondly to investigate the need for an improved route integrated with the PCR. An improved alignment at Paradise Circus is possible as a result of the additional land that will be available following PCR (see also ES Volume 1 Chapter 2 – Scheme Description, particularly Section 2.2). The outcome of these discussions is the delivery of an alignment at Paradise Circus that can be integrated within the PCR, at a lower cost and with fewer environmental impacts than the 2005 Scheme (see Chapter 3 Need and Alternatives for further explanation). 1.2.5 The Variation will only proceed when the PCR planning consent is implemented. If the PCR consent is not implemented due to funding or other reasons, then The Variation will not proceed; Centro will revert back to the 2005 Scheme. 1.2.6 The Variation will require an element of the permanent works within the PCR site. As this land is located outside the limits of deviation (LoD) of the 2005 Scheme (i.e.

  • 7.3 Traffic and Transport Impacts
    1 file:///D:/Environmental%20Statement/7.3.htm 7.3 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT IMPACTS 7.3.1 Introduction This section of the ES addresses the potential impacts arising from generated construction traffic and construction works on the local road network and road users. For the purpose of this assessment, data associated with the number of vehicle movements during the construction of the scheme have been estimated based upon experience of other projects of a similar nature. During construction, impacts may arise from additional works traffic on the road network and disruption due to temporary road or lane closures required to accommodate the works. Construction traffic is likely to be generated by the following activities: · construction workers accessing and egressing worksites; · the supply of construction materials; · the removal of waste; · the mobilisation of plant, which may include abnormal loads; and · other activities, including visitors and service vehicles. Generated construction traffic can lead to impacts in terms of: · changes in traffic conditions (in particular, where works also require temporary road/lane closures); · changes in traffic-related noise levels and air quality, which have been assessed in Sections 7.4 and 7.5 respectively; · access to private and commercial properties; and · changes in conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. 7.3.2 Assessment Methodology The overall objective of the assessment is to estimate the impact of changes in traffic resulting from the construction of the scheme. The maintenance of transport reliability and the potential for temporary re-routeing during construction is also assessed. The assessment criteria used to identify significant impacts arising from changes in traffic are provided in Section 6.3.2.
