Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3 090414-1.0 Page 1 – Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3: Implementation Plan 2014 - 2017 Agenda I tem: Cabinet 11 Date of Meeting 9 April 2014 Cabinet Member(s) Hilary Cox – Cabinet Member for Environment Local Member(s ) All Members Lead Director(s) Mike Harries – Interim Director for Environment Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3: Subject of Report Implementation Plan 2014 - 2017 Executive Summary The Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3), published in April 2011, set out a strategy for transport for the Dorset sub region for the period to 2026. A separate implementation plan contains detailed proposals for the first 3 years. A second three year implementation Plan (IP2) has now been prepared containing detailed proposals for the period 2014 – 2017. IP2 does not contain any policy changes but specifically outlines changes to the funding we receive from the Department for Transport and how this will be used. This includes block funding, of which we can be reasonably certain, LTB major scheme funding, which is guaranteed, and major scheme funding from the Local Growth Fund, which is accessed competitively through the Local Enterprise Partnership Strategic Economic Plan. Impact Assessment Equalities Impact Assessment: The Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3) was the subject of an Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA) during its production and includes an Accessibility Strategy within the appendices as a supporting strategy. The recommendation is not considered to have any negative or differential impact on the equalities of any person or group. Page 2 – Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3: Implementation Plan 2014 - 2017 Use of Evidence: All proposed highways improvements schemes are prioritised against the council’s key objectives for transport, as described in LTP3. The methodology for prioritising schemes includes the use of evidence such as casualty data, feasibility studies and evidence of local support from town / parish councils. For bridges and structures and for structural maintenance, evidence of asset condition is determined using a variety of techniques and equipment along with visual assessments and reported defects. This data is used to prepare a priority list. Budget: The capital budgets for 2014/15 (Integrated Transport Block and Maintenance Block) have been confirmed by the Department for Transport. Budgets for the following two years years have yet to be confirmed so the programme for these two years is provisional. Risk Assessment: Having considered the risks associated with this decision using the County Council’s approved risk management methodology, the level of risk has been identified as: Current Risk: Low Residual Risk : Low Other Implications: None Recommendation That the Cabinet approves the Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3: Implementation Plan 2014 – 2017 (Appendix 1) Reason for Improving delivery of the transport infrastructure of Dorset will help Recommendation support Corporate Aim 4 – safeguard and enhance Dorset’s unique environment and support its local economy.

Background 1.1. The Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3) was published in April 2011. LTP3 sets out a strategy for transport for the Dorset sub region for the period to 2026. A separate implementation plan contains detailed proposals for the first 3 years. A second three year implementation Plan (IP2) has now been prepared containing detailed proposals for the period 2014 – 2017. A draft version of IP2 is attached to this report at Appendix 1 and copy of the final draft IP2 has been placed in the Members room. 1.2. IP2 does not contain any changes to policies described in LTP3 and there has therefore been no requirement for public consultation. The plan does however outline changes to the funding we receive from the Department for Transport. The plan also outlines changes to the DfT’s method of major scheme funding and our approach to these changes, particularly in relation to the competitive elements of major scheme funding. 2. Major Scheme Funding 2.1. In September 2012 DfT announced that from 2015 major scheme funding would be devolved to Local Transport Bodies, consortia of local transport authorities based on the geographies of Local Enterprise Partnerships. The primary role of the LTB is to decide which major investments should be prioritised, to review and approve individual business cases for those investments, and to ensure effective delivery of the programme. In January 2013 Dorset LTB, comprising Bournemouth Borough Council, Dorset County Council and the Borough of Poole, was advised of indicative funding of £18.3m for the period 2015 – 2019. 2.2. The Dorset LTB has used assessment criteria to establish a priority list of schemes which weights schemes against their compliance to Dorset’s Strategic Economic Plan, LTP3 policies, risks to delivery and development and construction dates for the scheme. Further weight is assigned to the amount of job creation and new homes unlocked by the delivery of the schemes . Table 3 indicates a prioritised short list of six major transport schemes which have been approved by the DLTB and the Dorset LEP in July 2013 and which have now been submitted to the DfT.

The June 2013 report Investing in Britain’s Future confirmed the Government’s commitment to devolved decision making on economic development, giving greater power and influence to Local Economic Partnerships (LEPs), through a number of mechanisms including: • Creating a Local Growth Fund (LGF) with over £2 billion of national b udgets from skills, housing and transport for 2015-16. • Committing a further £5 billion of transport funding to the LGF from 2016-17 to 2020-21 to enable long-term planning of priority infrastructure. 2.4. The LGF will be distributed on a competitive basis through Growth Deals, negotiated through submission and assessment of the LEPs’ Strategic Economic Plan (SEP). Dorset LEP’s SEP has been developed in parallel with IP2 for submission to Government on 31 March 2014. It recognises that investment in transport, as a key enabler of growth is critical to the region’s economic success and therefore a major element of the growth deal locally. In particular the Bournemouth/Poole conurbation, as the economic powerhouse for Dorset is seen as having its potential for growth limited by poor transport links to the north and west and by poor cross conurbation links and overloading at key junctions. The SEP identifies transport schemes for the period 2015 – 2020 valued at £170m, seeking £80m from the Growth Fund. It is however recognised that awards will be made to maximise growth in England as a whole. The DfT has specifically asked that programs can be varied in scale to ensure that funds can be distributed as effectively as possible. Specific schemes identified through the SEP continue to carry the LTB priority ranking. 2.5. To date the Dorset LTB has been awarded £12.2m Major Scheme Funding for the period 2015 – 2019. This will contribute to the first priority scheme, the A338 Bournemouth Spur Road Maintenance, the shortfall for which is being sought through the LGF. 3. Block Funding 3.1. The Funding for local smaller transport schemes will continue to be through the Local Transport Plan Integrated Transport Block (ITB). The ITB funding allocations were significantly reduced for IP1. In 2014/15 there is a 40% increase, almost returning funding to the pre 2010 level. However an element of this is now to be top sliced for transfer to the Single Growth Fund and the final allocations for years 2015/16/17 are likely to be much reduced . Page 5 – Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset Local Transport Plan 3: Implementation Plan 2014 - 2017 3.2. ITB funding used to draw up spending programmes for the 3 years from 2014/15 to 2016/17 is shown in Table 1. Allocations for 2015/16 will be announced by government in April 2014. The table therefore uses estimates for years 2 and 3 based on the announced national changes. Integrated Transport LTP3 – IP2 LTP3 – IP3 Funding Allocations (£000’s) (Figures in italics are 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 estimated) Dorset County £3,391 £1,950 £1,950 £1,950 Council Table 1 Integrated Transport Block funding 2014/15 – 2017/18 3.3. Overall funding for maintenance has increased compared to IP1, but this is substantially below the sum needed to halt the overall decline in road condition.

  • Holes Bay 2020 Annual Report
    Welcome to the first annual Holes Bay Nature Report. Inspired by the excellent and long established Lytchett Bay report, our aim is to promote Holes Bay and the surrounding area as a haven for nature, to record and share wildlife sightings, and to encourage more records. The recording area covers Holes Bay itself, the Creekmoor and PC World Drain, Upton Country Park and the surrounding farm fields (see map below). Records of birds overflying the recording area are also welcome. Sightings can be shared via our Twitter account @Bayholes, or e-mailed to [email protected] Martin Adams, Jackie and Nick Hull, Steve Smith and Nick Woods Contents: 1.

Reptiles and landscape change around Holes Bay - Nick Woods 72 2 3 INTRODUCTION Martin Adams Holes Bay Nature Park is a haven for wildlife in an urban environment, a site where wildlife thrives despite being surrounded by human activity. We use Holes Bay and the land around it for transport, housing, retail and industry, as well as for leisure activities such as boating, cycling, fishing, dog walking, and of course birdwatching. Despite all this, Holes Bay is a thriving and arguably improving habitat for nature. The Nature Park is a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) primarily for its importance to wintering birds, and the area north of the railway bridge is classified as a Bird Sensitive Area.

  • A Condition Assessment of Poole Harbour European Marine Site
    A condition assessment of Poole Harbour European Marine Site John Underhill-Day Report commissioned by Dr. Sue Burton, Natural England Team, Dorset Report Date 30 Sept 2006 Final Recommended citation: Underhill-Day, J. C. 2006. A condition assessment of Poole Harbour European Marine Site. Unpublished report, Footprint Ecology/Natural England. Dorset. England. © Natural England 2 Summary Natural England has a statutory duty to advise other relevant authorities on the conservation objectives for the European Marine Site in Poole Harbour. In order to facilitate this, Natural England wish to test the assumption that existing features are in favourable condition and quantify targets for 2000-2006. This report assesses the condition of the bird interest features of the Harbour, identifies damaging operations or activities, and recommends monitoring and management actions together with revised targets for the next reporting period. Much of the information from which the conclusions in this report are derived have been based on research work carried out in Poole Harbour from studies commissioned and financed by English Nature. Other major contributors have been the Environment Agency and the Harbour Commissioners. It is recommended that these and other organisations put in place amore integrated monitoring scheme for the Harbour. This could be initiated by a symposium to identify the issues and main stakeholders. Populations of those bird species for which the harbour was designated as an SPA are mostly stable or increasing. Breeding numbers of common terns and Mediterranean gulls have been rising and the wintering populations of black-tailed godwits and avocets have also been increasing. Shelduck numbers have declined but at a lower rate than those nationally.

  • Poole Bridge End of Project Report
    Page 1 of 9 Port of Poole – Poole Bridge End of Project Report December 2018 Page 2 of 9 Port of Poole Programme Summary The Port of Poole and surrounding area is an important business region in Dorset and one of the county’s key assets. £23,310,000 million from Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership’s Growth Deal fund is being invested into major transport schemes to improve access into and around the Port of Poole. The investment will help drive local economic growth and bring an anticipated £500 million of leveraged private investment in to the area. • Darby’s Corner • Dunyeats • Gravel Hill • Hatch Pond • Poole Bridge • Townside Access These schemes would help: • Support the regeneration of Poole delivering around 2,500 new homes around the Port of Poole. • Unlock regeneration sites to create business opportunities and help to make Poole an attractive place for businesses to invest in • Drive local economic growth and bring an anticipated £500 million of leveraged private investment in to the area. The Port of Poole Programme was launched in April 2016; it highlighted the work that would be completed through an infographic and a map. Page 3 of 9 Page 4 of 9 Poole Bridge is the older of the two bridges which provide vehicular access to the Port of Poole. The lifting bridge was opened in 1927. It spans the busy, narrow Backwater Channel between Poole Harbour and Holes Bay to the north. It forms part of the A350 and provides a direct road link between Poole town centre and the suburb of Hamworthy.

  • 5 Revitalising the Town Centre
    5 Revitalising the Town Centre 5.1 The Core Strategy identifies Poole Town Centre as the primary location for significant regeneration and improvement, being the main focus for change over the period of the plan. There are three linked geographical elements which make up this area that can help revitalise the Town Centre and together they will make a significant contribution to meeting Core Strategy Objective 1 (To transform and revitalise the Town Centre of Poole): • The Regeneration Area focused on sites fronting Back Water Channel with Twin Sails Bridge at its heart; • Town Centre North centred on Kingland Road incorporating the Dolphin Shopping Centre, bus station, bus depot and the Lighthouse Centre for the Arts and extending to the northern part of High Street and land including and adjacent Sainsbury and its car park; and • The rest of the Town Centre including land between West Quay Road and West Street, Hunger Hill, Poole Quarter, The Quay, Old Town, High Street (lower) and Seldown area. 5.2 The Town Centre lies on the edge of Poole Harbour which is internationally important for nature conservation. The Core Strategy Habitats Regulation Assessment 2008 identified a number of measures that will need to be implemented to mitigate the affects of development and proposals will need to demonstrate how they have addressed this issue. The Regeneration Area 5.3 Policy PCS 11 of Poole’s Core Strategy sets out the priorities that development within this area will be expected to deliver including a mix of land uses and the quantum of development on a site by site basis.

  • Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council Report to Support Warding Pattern Proposals
    Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council Report to Support Warding Pattern Proposals April 2018 BLANK PAGE 2 Contents Introduction ............................................................................................................................................ 4 Proposed Areas …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………5 Appendices Maps of proposed areas 3 Introduction Summary The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) requested supporting information to justify the proposals when it met with Members and Officers on the 9th April 2018. The aim of this report is to provide this requested information and support the warding proposal attached. This submission is based on 76 members across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council and consists of 35 wards (six three member wards and twenty nine two member wards). Each ward has been explained in more detail within the report as to the geography, transport links, areas of community focus and proposed electorate equality within each ward. Background From the outset, this review was going to be conducted on an extremely tight timescale. The LGBCE cannot start a review until the Structural Change Order has been agreed by Parliament, which means much less time to implement changes and republish electoral registers in time for the all‐out local elections in May 2019 for the New Council. Taking into consideration the recent boundary reviews for Christchurch and Poole and for efficiency, the approach taken has been to drop each of the existing Ward Councillor numbers by one in most cases in order to bring the Council size down from 125 to 76. Certain polling districts have been split and boundaries altered to comply with the criteria set by the LGBCE and key principals set by the Electoral Arrangements Task and Finish Group, also attempting to blur boundaries between existing Local Authorities where possible.
