East Crawley CLC Appendix A 2008 1 Table 1. Progress on S106 funded schemes previously approved by the CLC for addition to the IWP 1.1 Provision of Cycle Parking Facilities at Oriel High School, Maidenbower. 07/08 – Not IWP scheme Funding was allocated from the following source: Ref Development Amount CR/433/04 Land at the junction of, Lucerne £11,000 Drive/Balcombe Road, Crawley REDUCTION -£11,000 NEW TOTAL NIL The school is no longer keen to install the cycle parking facilities. These funds are therefore available for reallocation in Table 2 1.2 Balcombe Road Pedestrian Crossing Funding was allocated from the following source: Ref Development Amount CR/288/03 Hurstings And Oakhilll House Balcombe £40,000 Road Scheme is now complete 1.3 NMI0528 Maidenbower Drive pedestrian crossing (Near Playing Fields) 2007/2008 Funding was allocated from the following source: Ref Development Amount CR/433/04 Land at the junction of, Lucerne £45,000 Drive/Balcombe Road Scheme is now complete 1.4 Schemes identified in Poundhill Area Overview The following schemes were identified by the CLC as their top priorities for the allocation of S106 contributions: 1) Grattons Drive Safety Zone 2) Traffic Calming on Somerville Drive and St Catherines Road 3) Cycle route at Milton Mount School All the schemes were added to the works programme with indicative costings. This appendix includes revised costings and recommends that the Cycle route at Milton Mount School is put on hold to enable funds to be reallocated to the top 2 priority schemes. This appendix also gives details of the switching of funding between schemes to ensure that the developments that provide the funding are reasonably close to the proposed improvement. 1.4.1 Grattons Drive Safety Zone 08/09 Funding was allocated from the following source: Ref Development Amount CR/470/05 73-85 St Catherines Road £25,000 ORIGINAL TOTAL £25,000 REDUCTION CR/470/05 73-85 St Catherines Road -£10,000+ ADDITION CR/714/06 Hazelwick School +£35,000* NEW TOTAL £50,000 Work on this scheme is in progress. Preliminary consultation has been undertaken in the form of an exhibition and design work has commenced. The scheme requires a traffic regulation order to be made and the legal process for this will take some time to complete. This means that construction work is unlikely to start before spring 2009 at the earliest. *In order to allow the Somerville Drive Scheme to progress using contributions from the most appropriate developments it was necessary reallocate £10,000 from development on St Catherines Road CR/470/05 towards the Somerville Drive scheme in exchange for some additional funding from Development at Hazelwick School that is yet to be received. The scheme will be funded temporarily by a bridging loan from WSCC funds to be repaid upon receipt of the contributions from CR/714/06 Hazelwick School. It is recommended in Table 2 that the CLC support the reallocation of contributions marked + from this scheme towards traffic calming on Somerville Road. It is recommended in Tables 2 and 5 that the CLC support the reallocation of contributions marked * from the cycle route at Milton Mount School towards this scheme. 1.5 Traffic Calming on Somerville Drive and St Catherines Road. Ref Development Amount CR/470/05 73-85 St Catherines Road £7,000 ORIGINAL TOTAL £7,000 ADDITIONAL CR/470/05 73-85 St Catherines FUNDS Road* £5,200* ADDITIONAL CR/470/05 73-85 St Catherines FUNDS Road+ £10,000+ ADDITIONAL FUNDS CR/139/06 14 St Annes Road* £3,250* NEW TOTAL £25,450 The CLC has identified this scheme as their second local priority. £7k was allocated in previous report from St Catherines and St Annes developments, but it is now thought that scheme may cost approximately £25k to deliver. Also, the estimated cost of Grattons Drive Safety Zone has increased by approximately £25,000. Work has started on the design which means that construction should be underway in spring 2009. It is recommended in Table 2 that the CLC support the reallocation of contributions marked + from Grattons Drive Safety Zone to this scheme. It is recommended in Table 2 that the CLC support the reallocation of contributions marked * from the cycle route at Milton Mount School towards this scheme. 2 Table 2. Proposals to reallocate funds allocated by the CLC previously to schemes that can not now progress 2.1 Scheme to be put on hold: Cycle Link between Milton Mount School and Hazelwick School. Ref Development Amount CR/470/05 73-85 St Catherines Road £5,200* CR/139/06 14 St Annes Road £3,250* CR/714/06 Hazelwick School £35,000* CR/714/06 Hazelwick School £6,600+ ORIGINAL TOTAL £50,050 REDUCTION £50,050 NEW TOTAL NIL The CLC has identified this scheme as their third local priority. estimated cost of Grattons Drive Safety Zone has increased by approximately £25,000. It is therefore recommended that this scheme is put on hold until further funding becomes available to enable higher priority schemes to progress Scheme to be temporarily removed from Works Programme 09/10. It is recommended that the CLC support the reallocation of the contributions marked * towards the schemes identified in Table 1 It is recommended that the contribution marked + be made available for reallocation at a later date. 2.2 Maidenbower. Reallocation of funding previously allocated towards Oriel School Cycle Parking Facilities towards pedestrian safety improvements at Oriel School Access Funding was allocated from the following source: Ref Development Amount CR/433/04 Land at the junction of, Lucerne £11,000 Drive/Balcombe Road, Crawley The school is no longer keen to install the cycle parking facilities. It is recommended that the CLC support the reallocation of these funds towards provision of pedestrian guard-railing outside the school to encourage children to cross the road in a safer position. The side pedestrian school entrance is directly opposite Atkinson Rd. At the end of the school day, children stream across Matthews Drive into the junction of Atkinson Road and this has been identified as a safety issue. The railings would guide children to a safer crossing point. 3 Table 3. New contributions received and proposed allocations to schemes that could be added to the IWP 3.1 Note on Strategic versus Local Schemes Crawley Borough Council’s SPG suggests that they would like a split of around 80/20 between local schemes and town-wide strategic schemes, with the larger share going to town-wide schemes, although there is some room for flexibility in this approach. The would have to be a demonstrable link between any funding development and the improvement that it funds, such as proximity to the development 3.1.1 Town-wide Strategic Schemes could include: Possible extensions to Fastway Park and Ride Bus Quality Measures Bus real-time information at the following sites (List not exhaustive): 1 Crawley Bus Station stop H 2 Three Bridges Station stop A (gallows). Served by 100. 3 Crawley Bus Station stop D (as long as country buses fitted by then) 4 Crawley Hospital towards town 5 Crawley Hospital towards out-of-town 6 Ifield Station towards town 7 Balcombe Road, Maidenbower (Possibly). Served by 100. 8 Fenchurch Road, Maidenbower (Possibly). Served by 100. 9 Evans Close, Maidenbower (Possibly). Served by 100. 10 Betts Way towards town. Served by 100. 11 Charcoal Burner, Furnace Green towards town (gallows) 12 Whistler Close, Tilgate towards town (gallows) 13 Henshaw Close, Gossops Green towards town 14 Northgate Parade towards town. Served by 100. 15 Manor Royal East westbound. Served by 100. 16 Ellman Road, Bewbush towards town (gallows) 17 Dobbins Place, Ifield West 18 Squareabout towards town 19 Haslett Avenue East towards Three Bridges 20 County Oak Retail Park (gallows) 3.1.2 Local schemes or services should be local to the contributing development, and also be an improvement that would benefit sustainable modes of transport including walking, cycling or public transport. 3.2 Maidenbower: Funding to be allocated from the following sources: Ref Development Amount CR/433/04 Land at the junction of, Lucerne £158,000 Drive/Balcombe Road, Crawley CR/322/04 Stone Court, Balcombe Road, Crawley £125,000 CR/801/04 Matthews Drive £19,000 TOTAL £302,000 The CLC asked that a pedestrian Crossing on Turners Hill road be considered. – It is felt that the crossing is too remote from the above developments and therefore it is not possible to programme the crossing at this time. 3.2.1 It is recommended that the CLC support the allocation of £158k from the Lucerne Drive Development and £22k from Stone Court Development towards improvements to Bus Route 100 consisting of Realtime information, shelters and hardstandings at 11 locations on the following roads: Station Hill, Billington Drive, Matthews Drive, Chapman Road, Harper Drive, Pallingham Drive, Lucerne Drive, Balcombe Road and Maidenbower Drive 3.2.2 It is recommended that the CLC support the allocation of £5000 from the Stone Court Development towards a feasibility study and costing exercise for Traffic calming in Church Road. 3.2.3 It is recommended that the remaining £98k from the Stone Court Development remain unallocated for the time being. Support for allocation of contributions to be sought at a later date after further consultation with Local Member and CLC Chairman. 3.3 Pound Hill: Funding to be allocated from the following sources: Ref Development Amount CR/288/03 Hurstings And Oakhilll House Balcombe £19,000 Road The schemes in Pound Hill identified above are too remote from the site, and therefore it will be necessary to identify a suitable scheme nearer the development.
