The Basingstoke Railway line runs east-west forming the site’s northern most boundary. South of the site is St Mary’s Church and the residential properties of Church Road. The site is located within the Local Planning Authority of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council (BDBC). 1.3 The Applicant proposes development of up to 200 residential units, together with a home working hub (65sqm GFA), public open space, play space and pedestrian link to Overton Railway Station. Access to the development site is proposed from the existing access point located on Kingsclere Road (Figure 1). A site layout plan is attached at Appendix 1. Pre-Application Consultations 1.4 A Scoping meeting was held (4th June 2014) with the Local Highway Authority (LHA) Hampshire County Council (HCC) to determine the scope of the Transport Assessment. HCC confirmed that a full Transport Assessment and accompanying Travel Plan would be required for the development. A copy of the Pre-Application Meeting Minutes is attached at Appendix 2. 1.5 The study area of the Transport Assessment was confirmed to include the site access junction with Kingsclere Road and the signalised junction of Kingsclere Road/B3400/Winchester Street (Overton cross roads). 1.6 HCC confirmed that the proposed trip generation methodology and TRICS site selections were appropriate for the proposed development. It was proposed that the distribution and assignment of development traffic would be based on the local ward Origin-Destination data for Method of Journey to Work. HCC considered that the proposed distribution and assignment of development traffic seemed reasonable based on the likely journey destinations. The distribution and assignment of development traffic was proposed. 1.7 HCC advised that in terms of local committed development, regard should be had for the Laverton Mill development, however it was considered unlikely that the traffic flows would affect the peak periods. 1.8 HCC confirmed that parking should be provided in accordance with BDBC guidance. Similarly, the internal road layout should accord with any guidance provided by BDBC. 1.9 With regard to transport contributions, HCC advised that the Hampshire contributions policy document remains current and therefore contributions should be based on the formulaic approach therein. 1 rpsgroup.com/uk 1.10 A request for an EIA screening opinion was submitted to BDBC in January 2015 (ref: 15/00240/ENSC). The submission related to a residential development of the site, comprising up to 275 units. The SoS directed that an Environmental Statement would not be required to accompany this planning application. The conclusions of this decision determined that ‘no likely significant effects concerning impacts to existing highways are envisaged as a result of the proposal.’ 1.11 A subsequent pre-application meeting was held with BDBC, during which the Highways Officer advised that the scheme layout should accord with the design principles of Manual for Streets and the HCC companion guide to Manual for Streets. BDBC advised that the scheme layout should take account of the profile of the site and that internal roads and footways should not exceed 1:12. As part of the pre-application response BDBC state that any future planning application would ‘have to be supported with a Transport Assessment and Travel Plan. Until a more detailed access arrangement and internal highway layout to a residential scheme is known, the LHA can only recommend that early consideration is given to the proposed means of drainage, the Residential Parking Standards and the storage/collection of waste and recycling’. Scope of Transport Assessment 1.12 Following initial assessments the Transport Assessment has been confirmed to include the following junctions: . Site access/Kingsclere Road (Overton) . Kingsclere Road/B3400/Winchester Street (Overton) 1.13 The assessment (Section 6) has taken into consideration local background traffic growth to 5 years after the year of application (2020), together with identified committed developments in the locality of the development site. The future year 2020 has provided the baseline traffic flows against which the development traffic flows have been assessed. 1.14 Analysis has also been undertaken of existing road safety conditions for the study area. This has had regard to the latest 5 year accident statistics. 1.15 The following research has been undertaken in the preparation of this Transport Assessment: . Review of local transport infrastructure and facilities; . Analysis of existing traffic levels on the local highway network; . Acquisition and analysis of existing road safety conditions and potential implication of the proposed development; . Assessment of the operation and capacity of the identified junctions. 2 rpsgroup.com/uk Development Site History 1.16 An outline application was previously submitted (ref: BDB/44168) for residential development of 60 dwellings on the southern part of the site. This was refused in 2000, for reasons that was located outside the established settlement boundary, would have an adverse impact on the character of the area, the Conservation Area and adjacent listed buildings and, in the absence of any suitable agreements, would not contribute to affordable housing and local infrastructure. All these previous reasons for refusal have been addressed in this planning application. 1.17 The development site was assessed for its suitability to accommodate residential development under the BDBC Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA), Report 10 (January 2015). The site reference is ‘OV003’ and is a category 1 site being considered ‘worthy of further consideration for inclusion as strategic allocations in the Local Plan.’ 1.18 The conclusions of the SHLAA site appraisal have found the site to be (ref: appendix 4, SHLAA Report 10, August 2015): ‘available and may, in principle, be suitable and achievable, subject to further testing through the Local Plan process, although there are policy designations and landscape issues which need to be considered’ 3 rpsgroup.com/uk 2 POLICY AND GUIDANCE 2.1 The Government is seeking to reduce the increasing impacts on the environment associated with transportation though the delivery of national and local transportation policies. The overarching aim at each level is to reduce the need

But, as we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, we have a unique opportunity to build back a better railway for the future. Since March 2020, we have been supported by SWR, Network Rail and the Department for the Government to run a reduced service that has Transport are therefore undertaking a strategic kept key workers moving. This period has shown review of our timetable. We are proposing changes that our performance improves significantly when which, while resulting in a slight reduction in we are able to run fewer trains while still meeting frequencies, will still deliver capacity at 93% of customer demand for our services. Customer pre-Covid levels and improve significantly on the satisfaction has also increased in this period.

  • Basingstoke Economic History Bob Clark Railway Offcuts
    BASINGSTOKE RAILWAYS 1839 TO 2013 Introduction The construction of the railways and the town’s emergence between 1840 and 1854 as the junction for three routes transformed Basingstoke’s economy. While the railways devastated the road carrying trade, they also offered considerable advantages for the town. Raw materials could easily be transported, and manufactured goods were exported to other parts of the country. The second half of the 19th century was thus to see the development of large industrial units in the companies of Wallis and Steevens, an engineering firm, and of Burberry and a group of related companies who manufactured clothing. These were very different in scale from the workshops that had hitherto dominated manufacturing in the town and Basingstoke became an important manufacturing centre. This resulted in the town’s population growing significantly more rapidly than the national population. The coming of the railway Although the London Southampton railway could have followed the shorter route via Alton, the fact that it was routed via Basingstoke is shown in the original title, Southampton, London and Branch Railway, for Basingstoke was to be the place where a branch to Bath and Bristol was to diverge1to run via Newbury. However, this was not built as a House of Lords committee ruled in favour of a Broad Gauge route to Bristol via Reading. 1 C. F. Dendy Marshall, (revised R. W. Kidner, (1963) History of the Southern Railway, 53. An Act was passed in 1834 for making a railway from Nine Elms to Southampton,2 and construction work started in October of that year.
