Former Castle View School, Canvey Island Transport Note Former Castle View School, Canvey Island Transport Note Introduction This note has been prepared by WSP on behalf of Essex County Council in relation to the potential for redevelopment of the former Castle View School in Canvey Island. This note provides a brief analysis of the site in terms of its accessibility to modes other than the private car and the likely trip generation associated with the development of circa 50 residential units/ care home facility. This note is also intended to be submitted as evidence to support the sites allocation and the also to demonstrate that there is no requirement for the highway improvements identified under Policy H8 of Castle Points Draft Local Plan. Site Location and Accessibility The site is situated on the site of the former Castle View School in Canvey Island which is currently served off Meppel Avenue. The site is bounded by B1014 to the south, Meppel Avenue to the west, residential properties to the north and fields to the east. The B1014 is a main route through Canvey linking to the A13 to the north east and A130 to the south as well as the coastal area. Meppel Avenue is a residential road accessing the B1014 via a ‘Left In’ ‘Left Out’ arrangement to the south of the former castle view point site and also via a roundabout approx. 450m north of Meppel Avenue. The section of B1014 that passes the site is single carriageway subject to a 30mph speed limit and is street lit. Footways are provided on both sides of the carriageway with a controlled pedestrian crossing location just to the south of Meppel Avenue Walking & Cycling The site is situated adjacent to an existing residential area and as such benefits from access to a good footway network. There is a good level of lighting along many of the local road and crossing facilities provided with a controlled crossing located within 60m of the access on B1014 south of its junction with Meppel Avenue. There are no cycle routes local to the site, although the residential areas lend themselves to quiet routes suitable for on road cycling. Manual for Streets states in para 4.4.1 “Walkable neighbourhoods are typically characterised by having a range of facilities within 10 minutes’ (up to about 800m) walking distance of residential areas which residents may access comfortably on foot. However, this is not an upper limit and PPG13 states that walking offers the greatest potential to replace short car trips, particularly those under 2km.” PPG13 has been replaced by the National Planning Policy Framework, however this simply states under Core Planning Principles planning should “actively manage patterns of growth to make the fullest possible use of public transport, walking and cycling…” The Table below identifies the facilities that are accessible with 2Km from the site. Former Castle View School, Canvey Island Transport Note 1 Table 1 – Local Facilities within walking/cycling distance Cycle Time based on an Walking Time (based average speed of Facilities Distance (M) upon an average speed 7.5mph (12kph) 200m of 80m per minute) per minute. Local Shops including a 110m 1min 30 secs Co-op & take-away Winter Gardens Primary 500m 6min 2.5mins School/ St. Katherine’s C of E Primary School Castle Point Golf Centre 850m 11 min 4 min Canvey Island football/ 850m 11 min 4 min Rugby club Elder Tree Dental Practice 1.1Km 14 min 6 min Sainsburys Supermarket 1.3Km 16 min 7 min Opticians 1.3Km 16 min 7 min Castle View Secondary 1.4Km 18 min 7 min School The Cornelius Vermuyden 1.7Km 21 min 9 min Secondary School Northwick Park Primary 2Km 25 min 10 min School Doctors Surgery 2Km 25 min 10 min NISA extra Convenience 2Km 25 min 10 min Store As can be seen, the site benefits from being within an easy walk or cycle of a number of local facilities. Public Transport The nearest bus stop is located on B1014 100m from the site access which is served by bus routes 27X and 822. Route 27X provides a 15min - 20min service Monday to Friday and serves areas between Canvey and South Benfleet including stops at Furtherwick Park School and South Benfleet Railway Station. Route 822 is a school bus service Monday to Friday with a pick up time of 07:07 outside the site serving areas between Canvey, South Benfleet, Hadleigh and Southend including stops at South Benfleet Railway Station, Hadleigh Bus Depot, Leigh-on-sea Railway Station, Schools in Leigh on Sea, Southend Hospital. The nearest Railway Station is Benfleet station which is managed by c2c and provides a service between Shoeburyness and Central London (Fenchurch Street). Trains depart from Benfleet approximately every 10 mins during the Weekday and weekend providing an excellent service to Central London and other areas. This station is accessible via bus route 27X, or is with a 13min cycle ride. The station has 78 cycle stands and 165 Car Parking spaces. The site is therefore considered well located for residents to use alternative modes of transport to school, leisure, work or shopping trips. Former Castle View School, Canvey Island Transport Note 2 Traffic Generation As mentioned earlier, the proposal is for the site of the former Castle View School to be redeveloped for housing (circa 50 dwellings)/ Care Home Facility. Below are two tables identifying the level of trips that are generated by a Secondary School similar in size to the former Castle view School and also the trips likely to be generated by a private housing development of some 50 units. These trips have been obtained from the TRICS database and have been based on size and location. The trips identified for the Care Home facility has been based on a similar sized site in a similar environment in Westcliff-on-sea. Table 2 – Former Castle View School Site (approx. GFA 1.2ha) TRIP RATE No. Trips hour ARR DEP ARR DEP AM Peak (08:00 – 09:00) 1.702 1.091 204 131 MID Peak (15:00 – 16:00) 0.730 1.031 88 155 PM Peak (17:00 – 18:00) 0.435 0.519 65 78 Daily 5.440 5.398 816 810 Table 3 – Former Castle View School Site – Proposed 50 Residential Units (Privately Owned) TRIP RATE No. Trips hour ARR DEP ARR DEP AM Peak (08:00 – 09:00) 0.116 0.347 6 17 MID Peak (15:00 – 16:00) 0.228 0.167 11 8 PM Peak (17:00 – 18:00) 0.429 0.197 21 10 Daily 2.594 2.587 130 129 Table 4 – Former Castle View School Site – Proposed 50 Residential Units Care Home Facility TRIP RATE No. Trips hour ARR DEP ARR DEP AM Peak (08:00 – 09:00) 0.060 0.110 3 6 MID Peak (15:00 – 16:00) 0.150 0.150 8 8 PM Peak (17:00 – 18:00) 0.060 0.060 3 3 Daily 1.460 1.620 73 81 Former Castle View School, Canvey Island Transport Note 3 The above tables show that even if the site was redeveloped for 50 private homes, the school would have seen a much higher volume of trips both during the network peaks and throughout the day. A care home for the elderly will see even fewer trips. Conclusion This note identifies that the proposed site on the former Castle View School is situated in an existing urban environment benefitting from being within easy access to local facilities and public transport and is also within easy reach of existing residential properties reducing the need to travel by car. The note also shows that there will be an overall benefit to the local highway network with a significant reduction in traffic movements compared to the original school use, as such no off site highway measures are considered necessary to accommodate the traffic movements associated with the redevelopment of the site. Based on the above, WSP sees no empirical or policy justification for the retention of paras 4 and 5 of Policy H8 as proposed. Former Castle View School, Canvey Island Transport Note 4 .

  • South East Essex Strategic Growth Locations Assessment 2019
    PLANNING POLICY SUB-COMMITTEE Item 6 – 31 January 2019 NEW LOCAL PLAN EVIDENCE BASE: SOUTH EAST ESSEX STRATEGIC GROWTH LOCATIONS ASSESSMENT 2019 1 PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 The Council is in the process of reviewing its adopted local development plan to take account of changes at the local and national level. The evidence base underpinning this review continues to be developed, including the preparation of common evidence for the South Essex sub-region and between neighbouring authorities, where required. The purpose of this report is to inform cross boundary co-operation, as part of the Duty to Co-operate, and to deliver economies of scale wherever possible. 1.2 Given well known and accepted space limitations for new development within South East Essex, and reflecting on the Duty to Co-operate legal requirements for plan making, a Growth Locations Assessment for the area immediately adjacent to the Southend Borough boundary has been jointly prepared. This report explains the rationale for this piece of evidence, the key findings, the implications for Rochford District’s plan-making and the South Essex Joint Strategic Plan. 1.3 Whilst this assessment identifies a potential approach to accommodating some or all of Rochford’s housing and employment needs (and potentially a proportion of the wider housing needs of the sub-region), it should be noted that other options for meeting these needs must still be explored. This assessment forms a piece of research evidence and should not be taken to discount other options that will be explored as local and joint plan-making progresses.
