Date 12/06/2016

Description Introduction of bus priority measures on the A465 and A49(T) from South Wye into Hereford city centre Strategic Identified problems and The South Wye area is characterised with high levels of traffic congestion, which causes traffic objectives to re-route to unsuitable routes with resultant high levels of emissions and noise and impacts on safety. The level of traffic is causing severance within the communities which have health related issues such as high levels of adult and child obesity. Bus priority measures may improve public transport access to the city centre. This may reduce the number of car trips.

Scale of impact 1. Small impact May reduce congestion, however road space is required to introduce bus priority so the modal shift would have to be significant to avoid creating further congestion. Fit with wider transport 2 May contribute to achieving active travel and health policy goals. and government objectives Fit with other objectives 2 May contribute to achieving regional active travel and health policy goals. Key uncertainties 1. Impact on existing congestion/ success of outcomes, 2. Stakeholder acceptance

Degree of consensus 3 Public consultation has taken place on bus priority on the A465 only. over outcomes Economic Economic growth 4. Amber/green Positive impact on journey times, journey time variability and cost of travel. No impact on incidents, resilience, or delivery of housing.

Carbon emissions 3. Amber May decrease vehicle kms but no other impact on carbon emissions.

Local environment 3. Amber No noticeable impact on air quality, noise, or the natural or built environment. Well being 4. Amber/green No impact on severance, injuries or deaths, or crime. Positive impact on physical activity. No change in access to goods and services.

Date 12/01/2016

Description A proposed southern link road to be located in the South Wye area will link the A49(T) with the A465. The proposed link road will connect with the A465, south of its junction with the B4349 and form a 4th arm on the A49(T) / B4399 roundabout to the east. Strategic Identified problems and The South Wye area is characterised with high levels of traffic congestion, which causes traffic objectives to re-route to unsuitable routes with resultant high levels of emissions and noise and impacts on safety. The level of traffic is causing severance within the communities which have health related issues such as high levels of adult and child obesity. The SLR will improve connections to the HEZ, reducing traffic along the A49 and A465 and reduce levels of vehicle emissions and noise.

Scale of impact 3 Congestion relief on A465. Direct links to HEZ especially for A465 traffic Fit with wider transport 4 The SLR provides a connection to a potential western bypass as and government outlined in the HC Core Strategy objectives Fit with other objectives 4 Supports delivery of the Marches LEP and Midlands Connect strategies. Key uncertainties N/A

Degree of consensus 5. Majority Extensive stakeholder consultation (including the public) has taken over outcomes place over a number of years. The scheme has planning permission.

Economic Economic growth 5. Green Decreases journey time, journey time variability and travel costs. May also decrease the number of incidents which occur on the road network and will improve resilience by providing and additional route between the A465 and A49(T). May also facilitate the implementation of new housing as set out in the Core Strategy.

Carbon emissions 3. Amber Significant construction work is required, however both vehicle kms and fuel per vehicle km will be reduced. Socio-distributional 5. Green Scheme will have a positive impact on regeneration of the HEZ area impacts and the regions and a positive impact on economic growth.

Local environment 2. Red/amber Although the scheme is likely to have a positive impact on the urban centre of Hereford by re-routing traffic away from this area, there will be an impact on the natural environment where the road is constructed. Well being 4. Amber/green Will reduce the number of accidents and KSI and improve access to key locations in South Wye. It will also improve journey times and decrease journey time variability. It may however decrease the amount of physical activity undertaken by making it easier to travel by car. Expected VfM category 2. High 2-4 BCR approximately 2.5 Managerial Implementation 5. 2-5 years Construction timescale of 18 months. Expected CPO period of 12 timetable months.

Date 12/01/2016

Description The following pedestrian facilities throughout the South Wye area could be improved; footpath condition, footpath width, tactile paving, crossings, dropped kerbs, refuge islands, street lighting, and signage. In addition to improved pedestrian facilities Strategic Identified problems and The South Wye area is characterised with high levels of traffic congestion, which causes traffic objectives to re-route to unsuitable routes with resultant high levels of emissions and noise and impacts on safety. The level of traffic is causing severance within the communities which have health related issues such as high levels of adult and child obesity. Improve existing routes and increase the number of suitable on-foot alternatives to the private car. Scale of impact 2 Will support active travel which in turn may result in lower levels of obesity. May also decrease emissions and noise if users are encouraged to travel by active modes. Fit with wider transport 4 Links to policy on active travel, health and wellbeing. and government objectives Fit with other objectives 3 Links to regional policy on active travel, health and wellbeing.

Key uncertainties Lack of scheme development

Degree of consensus 5. Majority Extensive stakeholder consultation (including the public) has taken over outcomes place over a number of years. These schemes would be expected to be implemented via the Council's permitted development rights.

Economic Economic growth 3. Amber Will have no discernible impact on connectivity, reliability, resilience or the delivery of housing. Carbon emissions 3. Amber Will have no overall impact on carbon emissions. Socio-distributional 3. Amber May have a positive impact on SDIs but no change to regeneration impacts and the regions or addressing regional imbalances.

Local environment 3. Amber No impact on noise, air quality, the natural or built environment. Well being 4. Amber/green Will improve severance, physical activity, and injury and death rate. No change to crime, or access to goods and services. Expected VfM category 3. Medium 1.5-2 Low scheme cost but benefits are difficult to quantify. Managerial Implementation 4. 1-2 years These options would be relatively quick to implement timetable Public acceptability 5.

Date 12/01/2016

Description the following cycling facilities could be improved; Extension to the existing Greenway, street lighting, cycleway condition, crossings, and extend cycle connectivity. Strategic Identified problems and The South Wye area is characterised with high levels of traffic congestion, which causes traffic objectives to re-route to unsuitable routes with resultant high levels of emissions and noise and impacts on safety.
