Executive Summary

WSP has been commissioned by the Co-operative Group to provide specialist transport planning and engineering advice in support of the proposed redevelopment of the former Fole Dairy Site, located to the south of the A522 Uttoxeter Road, Fole. The proposal is for a primarily residential development comprising 67 dwellings (60 new dwellings plus 7 apartments within a conversion of the existing mill building, and 300 sqm of employment space. The development will embrace the design principles set out in the Manual for Streets (MfS) by prioritising pedestrian and cycle movements and, through the use of shared surface arrangements, create a sense of place. Primary vehicular access to the site will be provided from the A522 Uttoxeter Road, along with two secondary accesses from the Lane to the east of the site. It is also anticipated that a number of residential dwellings will take direct frontage access from the Lane. The site accesses have been found to be acceptable in terms of visibility and can also accommodate the movements of a standard refuse vehicle. The proposed development benefits from two bus services that runs adjacent to the site and has bus stops that are well within recommended walking distances. The bus services provide access to Hanley and Uttoxeter Bus stations, where residents can interchange and access a wider range of bus services to numerous destinations. The proposed development will upgrade the bus stop on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road, adjacent to the site, to provide raised kerbs to assist access for the mobility impaired. Walking routes in the vicinity of the site are relatively limited due to the rural nature of the site. However, a footway is provided on the northern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road which provides a continuous link to the bus stop to the east of the site and the village of Checkley to the west of the site. The proposed development will upgrade the footway on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road along the site’s frontage. This will improve pedestrian linkages to the bus stop on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road and also provide a larger waiting area for pedestrians at the bus stop. The traffic generated by the existing and proposed uses of the site has been estimated which demonstrates that the proposed development will result in a significant reduction in trips, particularly HGV movements, when compared to that which could be generated by the former Dairy use of the site. The personal injury accident data for the most recently available five year period has been reviewed and does not represent a material concern in the context of the proposed development. Having regard to the findings presented in this report, it is considered that there are no overriding reasons preventing the Highway Authority from recognising that the proposals are acceptable in transport terms.

Transport Statement - Former Fole Dairy Site 1

1 Introduction

1.1 OVERVIEW 1.1.1 WSP has been commissioned by the Co-operative Group to provide specialist transport planning and engineering advice in support of the proposed redevelopment of the former Fole Dairy Site, located to the south of the A522 Uttoxeter Road, Fole. 1.1.2 The proposal is for a primarily residential development comprising 67 dwellings (60 new dwellings plus 7 apartments within a conversion of the existing mill building, and 300 sqm of employment space. 1.1.3 Further details of the development proposals are provided in Chapter 3 of this report. 1.1.4 This Transport Statement (TS) has been prepared in accordance with the Department for Transports (DfT’s) March 2007 “Guidance on Transport Assessment” document, with the specific scope agreed with Staffordshire County Council (SCC), as local Highway Authority. Relevant correspondence relating to the scope of this report is presented in Appendix A.

1.2 STRUCTURE OF REPORT 1.2.1 The structure of the report is set out as follows:-

Chapter 2 – describes in detail the site location, surrounding area and existing use of the site;

Chapter 3 – defines the development proposals including the proposed access, servicing arrangements and car parking;

Chapter 4 – considers the location of the site with regard to the existing local sustainable transport infrastructure;

Chapter 5 – presents the detail associated with traffic generation / attraction derivation for the existing and proposed uses of the site along with the resultant net traffic flows;

Chapter 6 – reviews road safety matters with regard to accident history data for the most recently available five year period; and

Chapter 7 – provides a conclusion to this TS derived from the analysis presented in the above chapters. 1.2.2 This TS has been prepared solely in connection with the proposed development as stated above. As such, no responsibility is accepted to any third party for all or any part of this report, or in connection with any other development.

2 Site Location and Existing Conditions

2.1 SITE LOCATION AND EXISTING USE OF SITE 2.1.1 The site is located within the village of Fole, Uttoxeter and occupies a parcel of land located to the south of the A522 Uttoxeter Road, as shown on Figure 2.1 below:- Figure 2.1 – Site Location Plan

2.1.2 The development site accommodates the former Fole Dairy and has an area of approximately 2 hectares. At its peak, the dairy employed in the region of 235 staff, 210 of these working a typical day shift and 25 working the night shift. In addition, approximately 30 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) were continually making deliveries to and from the site each day. 2.1.3 The site is located in a predominantly rural location surrounded by agricultural fields. A small number of agricultural and residential buildings are located opposite the site, on the northern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road. In addition, the Fole Chapel is located adjacent to the north-eastern boundary of the site.

2.2 EXISTING ACCESS AND CAR PARKING ARRANGEMENTS 2.2.1 Primary access to the site is provided from two locations, one from the A522 Uttoxeter Road and one from the Lane to the east of the site. Access from the A522 Uttoxeter Road was used by HGV’s making deliveries to and from the Dairy with access from the Lane being used by general employees. Both accesses take the form of simple priority controlled junctions. Photo 2.1 – Site Access from A522 Photo 2.2 – Site Access from Lane

2.2.2 A number of minor vehicular accesses to dairy buildings and parking areas are also provided from the Lane to the east of the site. The locations of the vehicular accesses are shown on Figure 2.2 below. Figure 2.2 – Existing Access and Car Parking Areas

KEY Site Location Primary Access Points Secondary Access Points Main Parking Areas

2.2.3 Two formal car parking areas are currently provided on the site, one located to the north-east of the site which provides in the region of 41 spaces and one to the southeast of the site which provides in the region of 44 spaces. There are also a number of hard standing areas within the site which were used for parking. 2.2.4 The locations of the parking areas are shown on Figure 2.2 above which also demonstrates that when the Dairy was in full operation the car parks were well used.

2.3 LOCAL HIGHWAY NETWORK 2.3.1 The A522 Uttoxeter Road is located to the north of the site and provides a link between Cheadle in the northwest and Uttoxeter in the southeast. 2.3.2 In the vicinity of the site, the A522 Uttoxeter Road has a carriageway width of approximately 6m and is subject to a 30mph speed limit. Street lighting and footways are provided along the site’s frontage on both sides of the A522 Uttoxeter Road. 2.3.3 The footway on the northern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road has a width of between 1.0m and 2.0m and provides a continuous link to the bus stop to the east of the site and the village of Checkley to the west of the site. 2.3.4 The footway on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road has a width between 0.7m and 1.0m and extends along the site frontage only.

Transport Statement - Former Fole Dairy Site 4

2.3.5 The Lane located to the east of the site provides a link between the A522 Uttoxeter Road to the north and Fole Lane to the south. In the vicinity of the site, the Lane has a carriageway width of approximately 5.5m and is subject to National Speed limit. No footways or street lighting are provided on the Lane. 2.3.6 The unnamed Lane meets the A522 Uttoxeter Road to the northeast of the site and creates a simple priority control T-junction. Major road visibility from the Lane is currently constrained due to vegetation. However, highway boundary data obtained from SCC demonstrates that this vegetation is within the adopted highway boundary and, if cut back, will provide visibility splays of greater than 90m from a 2.4m minor road setback distance. The existing layout of the junction and visibility splays is shown on Drawing Number 1069-GA-02 presented in Appendix B. 2.3.7 The nearest bus stop to the site for eastbound travel is located on the northern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road, approximately 365m from the centre of the site, and the nearest bus stop for westbound travel is located on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road, adjacent to the site’s frontage. 2.3.8 The bus stop on the northern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road benefits from a layby and bus shelter, as shown on Photograph 2.3 below. P hoto 2.3 – Bus Stop for Eastbound Photo 2.4 – Bus Stop for Westbound Travel Travel

2.4 TRAFFIC SPEEDS 2.4.1 Traffic speed data for the A522 Uttoxeter Road has been obtained from SCC and is presented in Appendix C. The speed data was recorded from an Automatic Traffic Count (ATC) located approximately 45m to the east of the Lane between 25th August 2006 and 1st September 2006. 2.4.2 The average 85th percentile traffic speeds (mph) for the interpeak hours are summarised in Table 2.1 below. Table 2.1 – Traffic Speeds A522 Uttoxeter Road

Time Period Westbound Eastbound 10:00 to 11:00 44.0 29.2 11:00 to 12:00 43.2 29.0 12:00 to 13:00 43.4 29.0 13:00 to 14:00 43.7 29.0 14:00 to 15:00 44.6 29.0 Interpeak Average 43.9 29.0

Transport Statement - Former Fole Dairy Site 5

2.4.3 The above table demonstrates that the traffic speeds along the A522 Uttoxeter Road exceeds the 30mph speed limit in the eastbound direction and suggests an issue with enforcement of the speed limit. 2.4.4 As the 85th percentile traffic speeds exceed 37mph (60kph), it is considered appropriate that levels of visibility at the site access on the A522 Uttoxeter Road are assessed against guidance set out in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), as discussed later.

3 Proposed Development

3.1 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 3.1.1 The proposal is for a primarily residential development comprising 67 dwellings (60 new dwellings plus 7 apartments within a conversion of the existing mill building, and 300 sqm of employment space. 3.1.2 The proposed site layout is shown on the Masterplan presented in Appendix B. 3.1.3 It should be noted that the planning application is for outline permission, with means of access only being determined at this stage. The scheme layout presented in Appendix B is therefore indicative only. However, the development will embrace the design principles set out in the MfS by prioritising pedestrian and cycle movements and, through the use of shared surface arrangements, create a sense of place.

3.2 PROPOSED ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS 3.2.1 Primary vehicular access to the site will be provided from the A522 Uttoxeter Road, along with two secondary accesses from the Lane to the east of the site. It is also anticipated that a number of residential dwellings will have direct frontage access from the Lane, which is considered acceptable given the extremely low volumes of traffic currently using the Lane. 3.2.2 Pedestrian and cycle access will be provided from the main vehicular accesses to the site. It is also proposed that two pedestrian only routes will be provided from the A522 Uttoxeter Road which will improve permeability of the site and provide residents with a direct route to the bus stops. A522 Uttoxeter Road Access 3.2.3 Access from the A522 Uttoxeter Road will take the form of a simple priority controlled junction, as shown on Drawing Number 1069/GA/01 presented in Appendix C. 3.2.4 The proposed site access has been positioned approximately 4m to the east of the existing site access to ensure that 90m major road visibility splays are achievable in both directions from a 2.4m minor road setback distance, which is in accordance with standards set out in the DMRB for a 30mph speed limit road. 3.2.5 Although the 85th percentile traffic speeds on the A522 Uttoxeter Road in an eastbound direction exceeded the 30mph speed limit, it is considered that the proposed development will change the character of the A522 Uttoxeter Road to create more of a residential environment which will help to encourage lower vehicle speeds. 3.2.6 Junction radii at the proposed site access have been reduced from the existing access given that the junction was originally designed to accommodate high volumes of HGV movements. This will reduce the size of the junction bell mouth, therefore providing a reduced crossing distance for pedestrians. 3.2.7 An Autotrack assessment of the proposed site access has been undertaken, as shown on Drawing Number 1069/GA/01 presented in Appendix C, and demonstrates that the proposed access junction can safely accommodate the movements of a standard refuse vehicle.

3.2.8 The proposed development will upgrade the footway on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road along the site’s frontage. This will improve pedestrian linkages to the bus stop on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road and also provide a larger waiting area for pedestrians at the bus stop. Accesses from Lane to the East of the Site 3.2.9 As stated earlier, the proposed development will embrace the design principles set out in the MfS and though the use of shared spaces, help to create a sense of place. 3.2.10 The two accesses from the Lane to the east of the site will take the form of simple priority controlled junctions and adopt the shared space principles, as shown on Drawing Number 1069-GA-02 presented in Appendix C. 3.2.11 Given the direct frontage proposed and residential nature of the development, it is proposed that the speed limit of the Lane will be reduced from National Speed Limit to 30mph, which will help improve the safety and general environment for pedestrians and cyclists. 3.2.12 The proposed site access drawings demonstrates that 43m major road visibility splays can be achieved from a minor road setback distance of 2.4m, which is in accordance with guidance set out in the MfS for a 30 mph road. Given the direct frontage proposed and geometric layout of the Lane, it is considered appropriate to apply visibility standards from the MfS at these accesses. 3.2.13 It is proposed that a small number of dwellings will have direct frontage access from the Lane to the east of the site. The detailed design of the site and access to these dwellings will be subject to further discussions with the highway authority, at an appropriate time. 3.2.14 It is proposed that appropriate surface treatment will be introduced on the Lane in the vicinity of the bend, which will help reduce vehicle speeds and indicate to drivers that direct frontage activity will be taking place. The detailed design on the surface treatment will be discussed and agreed with the highway authority at an appropriate time. However, it is anticipated that the surface treatment will take the form of coloured macadam rolled with natural chippings and the use of natural stone kerbs, potential examples are shown below:- Photo 3.1 – Example of Potential Photo 3.2 – Example of Potential Surface Treatment Surface Treatment

3.3 PROPOSED PARKING PROVISION 3.3.1 SCC has confirmed that the parking standards set out in the Staffordshire Moorlands Local Plan are not a “saved policy”. SCC has therefore advised that the maximum parking standards set out in Table 3.1 below should be used as a guide. Table 3.1 – Maximum Parking Standards

Number of Bedrooms Maximum Parking Standards

2 or 3 bedroom houses 2 spaces per dwelling

4 or more bedroom houses 3 spaces per dwelling

3.3.2 The proposed development will provide a level of parking in accordance with the above standards.

4 Sustainable Transport Appraisal

4.1 INTRODUCTION 4.1.1 This section examines the accessibility of the site by sustainable modes of transport, and how the design of the proposed development will promote sustainable modes of travel where appropriate.

4.2 PEDESTRIANS 4.2.1 Walking routes in the vicinity of the site are relatively limited due to the rural nature of the site. However, a footway is provided on the northern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road which provides a continuous link to the bus stop to the east of the site and the village of Checkley to the west of the site. 4.2.2 In addition, the proposed development will upgrade the footway on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road along the site’s frontage. This will improve pedestrian linkages to the bus stop on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road and also provide a larger waiting area for pedestrians at the bus stop. 4.2.3 The five-year personal injury accident data for the local area has been reviewed (as detailed later) and shows that there are no underlying accident problems, particularly in relation to pedestrians, in the vicinity of the site. 4.2.4 The pedestrian accessibility of the development has been modelled using Geographical Information System (GIS) software to produce isochrones mapping. The purpose of the isochrones is to demonstrate the areas within an acceptable walk distance of the site, and only assumes that areas are within walking distance where footways are provided along the A522 Uttoxeter Road. 4.2.5 According to Government planning guidance an acceptable walking distance is generally considered to be 2km, PPG13 states: “Walking is the most important mode of travel at the local level and offers the greatest potential to replace short car trips particularly under 2 kilometres”. 4.2.6 Whilst it is noted that PPG13 has now been superseded by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the 2km acceptable walking distance figure is still commonly used as there is no alternative figure suggested within the NPPF. 4.2.7 The 2km walk distance isochrones is shown on Figure 4.1 below (full scale plan included in Figures section of this report).

Transport Statement - Former Fole Dairy Site 10

Figure 4.1 – Areas within Acceptable Walk Distance of the Site

4.2.8 As can be seen from the above, the village of Checkley is within acceptable walking distance of the site, providing facilities such as Hutchinson Memorial Church of England First School, and a number of public houses / restaurants including the Red Lion and the New Broom. There are also a limited number of agricultural and employment uses within acceptable walking distance, such as the Severn Trent water treatment facility.

4.3 CYCLISTS 4.3.1 Fole Lane is located to the east of the site and is classified as an “on road advisory cycle” route. This route links into a wider network of on and off road cycle routes around Staffordshire and, in particular, provides access to Uttoxeter in the East and Cheadle in the west. 4.3.2 An acceptable cycling distance is considered to be up to 5km. PPG13 states that: ‘Cycling also has potential to substitute for short car trips, particularly those less than 5km and to form part of a longer journey by public transport’. 4.3.3 Again it is noted that PPG13 has now been superseded by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the 5km acceptable cycling distance figure is still commonly used as there is no alternative figure suggested within the NPPF. 4.3.4 GIS software has been used to illustrate the area within 5 kilometres of the site which shows that Upper Tean, Hollington and parts of Uttoxeter to be within an acceptable cycle distance of the site, which provide a number of facilities and employment areas. 4.3.5 The 5km cycle distance isochrones is shown on Figure 4.2 below (full scale plan included in Figures section of this report).

Transport Statement - Former Fole Dairy Site 11

Figure 4.2 – Areas within cycling distance of the Development

4.3.6 The five-year personal injury accident data for the local area has been reviewed (as detailed later) and shows that there are no underlying accident problems, particularly in relation to cyclists, in the vicinity of the site.

4.4 PUBLIC TRANSPORT 4.4.1 The development is well placed to encourage access by bus. Guidance published by the IHT ‘Planning for Public Transport in Developments’ (1999), recommends that the maximum walking distance to a bus stop should be 400 metres, approximately equating to a five minute walk. ‘Destinations for bus passengers should be either side of the route in a corridor whose width involves walks of up to about 400m to the bus stop…’ 4.4.2 The nearest bus stop to the site for eastbound travel is located on the northern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road approximately 365m from the centre of the site, therefore within the recommended walk distance. This bus stop benefits from a layby and bus shelter. 4.4.3 The nearest bus stop to the site for westbound travel is located on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road, along the sites frontage. As requested by SCC, this bus stop will be upgraded to provide raised kerbs to assist access for the mobility impaired. 4.4.4 A 400m walk from the centre of the development has been modelled to illustrate the location of the bus stops in relation to the recommended walking distance, as shown in Figures 4.3 below.

4.4.6 As can be seen from the above, two services per hour are provided to Hanley and Uttoxeter Bus stations, where passengers can interchange and access a wider range of bus services to numerous destinations. 4.4.7 In addition, although no railway stations are within acceptable walking or cycling distance of the site, the bus service provides an acceptable link to Uttoxeter Railway station where rail access to a number of major conurbations can be reached.

5 Trip Generation

5.1 OVERVIEW 5.1.1 This chapter sets out the methodology used to estimate the number of trips generated by the existing and proposed uses of the site, along with the resultant net traffic flows. 5.1.2 The general approach and trip rates set out below have been agreed with SCC during the scoping process.

5.2 EXISTING USE TRIP GENERATION 5.2.1 Due to the lack of comparable sites in the TRICS Database, a first principle approach has been adopted to estimate the number of trips that could be generated by the existing Dairy, if it was brought back into use. 5.2.2 The approach is based on the number of staff employed when fully operational, with the calculations summarised below:-

The number of individuals employed on-site when fully operational was 235 with 210 staff working a typical day shift;

Using the data obtained from the 2011 Census on Method of Travel to Work (Daytime Population) for the Checkley Ward the mode split of employees travelling to work to the Dairy are estimated in Table 5.1 below- Table 5.1 – Estimated Mode Split of Dairy

Mode Mode Split (%) Car 79.9% Public Transport 2.7% Foot 4.1% Cycle 0.9% Other 12.4% Total 100%

Based on the above it can therefore be estimated that of the 210 people on-site on any given day at the dairy, 167 (210 employees multiplied by 79.9%) will commute to work by car; and

To calculate the proportion of those employees who travel in the peak hour, the daily trip profiles of industrial sites in the TRICS database have been analysed. The calculations are presented in Appendix D and it is estimated that 48.1% will be travelling in the dominant direction in the AM peak hour and 36.0% in the PM peak hour. 5.2.3 The existing number of trips in the peak hour is summarised in Table 5.2 below:- Table 5.2 – Existing Use of Site Trip Generation

Weekday AM Peak Weekday PM Peak

Arrivals Departures Arrivals Departures

80 16 8 60

Transport Statement - Former Fole Dairy Site 14

5.2.4 In addition to the above, the Dairy operators have confirmed that at its peak, approximately 30 HGVs were on-site each day which were continually making deliveries of milk.

5.3 PROPOSED USE TRIP GENERATION 5.3.1 To estimate the number of trips generated by the proposed residential and employment uses on the site, the TRICS 2013 (a) Database has been interrogated with the following criteria:- Residential Use

Privately owned houses;

30 to 120 dwellings;

Weekday surveys;

Surveys in England, Wales and Scotland excluding Greater London and the South East; and

Edge of town locations. Employment Use

Offices;

Developments with a gross floor area of between 645 and 2,000 sq. m; and

Weekday surveys;

Surveys in England, Wales and Scotland excluding Greater London and the South East; and

Edge of town locations. 5.3.2 The TRICS Outputs are presented in Appendix D and are summarised in Table 5.3 below. Table 5.3 – Proposed Residential Use Trip Rates and Generation

5.4 NET TRAFFIC FLOWS 5.4.1 The net traffic flows on the network are the sum of the proposed residential and employment use trip generation subtracted from the existing Dairy use trip generation and is summarised in Table 5.5 below. Table 5.5 – Net Trip Generation

Weekday AM Peak Weekday PM Peak

Arrivals Departures Two-Way Arrivals Departures Two-Way

-65 +15 -50 +20 -41 -21

5.4.2 As can be seen from the above, the proposed development will result in a significant reduction in trips, particularly HGV movements, when compared to that which could be generated by the former Dairy use of the site.

6 Road Safety

6.1.1 Personal Injury Accident data has been obtained from SCC, and verified using the WSP GIS software which includes Personal Injury Accident data. 6.1.2 Only one recorded personal injury accident occurred in the study area within the available records, the location of which is shown on Figure 6.1 below:- Figure 6.1 – Personal Injury Accident Location Plan

6.1.3 The accident occurred in July 2006 and involved a vehicle travelling east to west on the A522 Uttoxeter Road which overturned. No other vehicles were involved and the contributory factor was recorded as ‘illness or disability’. The accident was of slight severity and occurred in fine, dry conditions during the daytime. 6.1.4 Having regard to the low number of personal injury accidents in the vicinity of the site, it is concluded that the existing accident record does not represent a material concern in the context of the proposed development.

7 Summary and Conclusions

7.1.1 WSP has been commissioned by the Co-operative Group to provide specialist transport planning and engineering advice in support of the proposed redevelopment of the former Fole Dairy Site, located to the south of the A522 Uttoxeter Road, Fole. 7.1.2 The proposal is for a primarily residential development comprising 67 dwellings (60 new dwellings plus 7 apartments within a conversion of the existing mill building), and 300sqm of employment space. 7.1.3 The development will embrace the design principles set out in the Manual for Streets (MfS) by prioritising pedestrian and cycle movements and, through the use of shared surface arrangements, create a sense of place. 7.1.4 Primary vehicular access to the site will be provided from the A522 Uttoxeter Road, along with two secondary accesses from the Lane to the east of the site. It is also anticipated that a number of residential dwellings will have direct frontage access from the Lane. The site accesses have been found to be acceptable in terms of visibility and can also accommodate the movements of a standard refuse vehicle. 7.1.5 The proposed development benefits from two bus services that runs adjacent to the site and has bus stops that are well within recommended walking distances. The bus services provides access to Hanley and Uttoxeter Bus stations, where residents can interchange and access a wider range of bus services to numerous destinations. The proposed development will upgrade the bus stop on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road, adjacent to the site, to provide raised kerbs to assist access for the mobility impaired. 7.1.6 Walking routes in the vicinity of the site are relatively limited due to the rural nature of the site. However, a footway is provided on the northern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road which provides a continuous link to the bus stop to the east of the site and the village of Checkley to the west of the site. 7.1.7 The proposed development will upgrade the footway on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road along the sites frontage. This will improve pedestrian linkages to the bus stop on the southern side of the A522 Uttoxeter Road and also provide a larger waiting area for pedestrians at the bus stop. 7.1.8 The traffic generated by the existing and proposed uses of the site has been estimated which demonstrates that the proposed development will result in a significant reduction in trips and in particular HGV movements, when compared to that which could be generated by the former Dairy use of the site. 7.1.9 The personal injury accident data for the most recently available five year period has been reviewed and does not represent a material concern in the context of the proposed development. 7.1.10 Having regard to the findings presented in this report, it is considered that there are no overriding reasons preventing the Highway Authority from recognising that the proposals are acceptable in transport terms.

WSP Group plc Dear Paul, Offices worldwide www.wspgroup.com Proposed Residential Development, Former Dairy Site - Fole

Thank you for taking the time to discuss the transport and access issues associated with the outline planning application for residential redevelopment at the former dairy site, Fole.

As discussed, the development proposals include for the demolition of the existing dairy and replacement with approximately 61 dwellings plus 1,000 sq. ft of workshop space. A draft of the Masterplan is attached for your information and we would welcome your initial comments.

The Department for Transport’s “Guidance on Transport Assessment” document dated March 2007, provides suggested thresholds for when a Transport Assessment or Transport Statement (TS) would be appropriate to support a planning application. Based on these guidelines, for a development of this scale (i.e. less than 80 dwellings) a TS is deemed appropriate. I am therefore writing to formally propose the scope of the TS, in order that this may be agreed with you as highway officer for Staffordshire County Council.

The proposed scope of the TS is set out below.

1. Existing site conditions

A detailed description will be provided of the existing operation of the site, including floor areas, staff numbers, parking provision and access arrangements. A detailed description will also be provided of the local highway network and surrounding land use.

2. Proposed development

A detailed description will be provided of the proposed development, including number of dwellings, access arrangement by all modes and car parking provision.

3. Sustainable access assessment

A description will be provided of the existing accessibility of the development site in terms of pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users together with a description of any improvements proposed to these facilities, should these be required.

4. Traffic Impact

Estimates will be provided of the number of trip generated by the existing and proposed uses of the site, along with the resultant net traffic flows on the network. The proposed methodology and trip rates are provided below.

Existing Use Trip Generation

Due to the lack of comparable sites in the TRICS Database, a first principle approach is proposed to estimate the number of trips that could be generated by the existing Dairy if it was to be brought back into use. The approach is based on the number of staff employed when fully operational, with the calculations summarised below.

The number of individuals employed on-site when fully operational was 235, as confirmed by the Diary;

Using the data obtained from the 2001 Census on Method of Travel to Work – Daytime Population it can be estimated that 72.5% of people who work in the Checkley ward, in which the site is located, commute to work by car, 2.2% by public transport, 2.5% by foot and 11.2 by cycle. It can therefore be estimated that of the 235 people employed at the dairy, 170 (235 employees multiplied by 72.5%) will commute by car; and

To calculate the proportion of those employees who travel in the peak hour, the daily trip profiles of industrial sites in the TRICS database have been analysed. The calculations are presented in Appendix A and it is predicted that 48.1% will be travelling in the dominant direction in the AM peak hour and 36.0% in the PM peak hour.

The existing number of trips in the peak hour is summarised in Table 1 below:-

Table 1 – Trip Generation Existing Use of Site Weekday AM Peak Weekday PM Peak Mode (0800 – 0900) (1700 – 1800) Arrivals Departures Arrivals Departures Vehicle 82 16 61 8

In addition to the above, the Dairy have confirmed that at its peak approximately 30 HGVs were on-site each day which were continually making deliveries of milk.

Proposed Use Trip Generation

To estimate the number of trips generated by the proposed residential uses on the site, the TRICS 2011 (b) Database has been interrogated with the following criteria:-

Residential;

Privately owned houses;

30 to 120 dwellings; and

Multimodal surveys in a similar location.

To estimate the number of trips generated by the proposed workshop uses on the site, the TRICS 2011 (b) Database has been interrogated with the following criteria:-

Employment;

Offices;

Paul Hurdus 1 November 2011 Page 3

Developments with a gross floor area of between 645 and 2,000 sq. m; and

Multimodal surveys in a similar location.

The TRICS Outputs are presented in Appendix B and are summarised in Table 2 below.

Table 1 – Proposed Use Vehicular Trip Rates (Trips per Dwelling / 100 sq. m GFA)

Weekday AM Peak Weekday PM Peak Development Use (0800 – 0900) (1700 – 1800) Arrivals Departures Arrivals Departures Residential Use 0.151 0.432 0.429 0.242

Workspace Use 1.41 0.142 0.11 1.165

5. Safety considerations and accident analysis

We will consider the proposed development in light of the personal injury accident (PIA) history for the roads local to the site.

Please could you confirm your acceptance of our proposed scope or if you have any issues give me a call on the number below at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely

Pete,

Further to our recent phone conversation, I’ve now looked at the scope and masterplan:

1. A TS is appropriate for this situation and I agree with your scope, please produce a TS on that basis. 2. I have no detailed comments on the masterplan at this stage, but briefly: There seems to be some surfacing change on the existing road between Uttoxeter Road and Fole Lane which I’d like to see more detail on. Hedges mustn’t hamper visibility, We’d like to see an improved footway on the Uttoxeter Rd frontage and an improvement to the existing bus stop, We’d like to see SUDS used within the site.

I trust this is ok for now, but if you have any questions please contact me.

I look forward to seeing the completed TS,

Regards,

Dave

This section displays the trip rate results based on the selected set of surveys and the selected count type (shown just above the table). It is split by three main columns, representing arrivals trips, departures trips, and total trips (arrivals plus departures). Within each of these main columns are three sub-columns. These display the number of survey days where count data is included (per time period), the average value of the selected trip rate calculation parameter (per time period), and the trip rate result (per time period). Total trip rates (the sum of the column) are also displayed at the foot of the table.

To obtain a trip rate, the average (mean) trip rate parameter value (TRP) is first calculated for all selected survey days that have count data available for the stated time period. The average (mean) number of arrivals, departures or totals (whichever applies) is also calculated (COUNT) for all selected survey days that have count data available for the stated time period. Then, the average count is divided by the average trip rate parameter value, and multiplied by the stated calculation factor (shown just above the table and abbreviated here as FACT). So, the method is: COUNT/TRP*FACT. Trip rates are then rounded to 3 decimal places.
