  • Outline Business Case
    West of England - Outline Business Case Project Title: A4174/Wraxall Road Roundabout Signal Scheme Project Owner: Richard Gillingham, South Gloucestershire Council Promoter and partners: South Gloucestershire Council Description of Intervention: Wraxall Road Roundabout is located on the A4174 Avon Ring Road in South Gloucestershire south- east of Kingswood and north-west of Cadbury Heath (see below). The northern and southern arms of the roundabout are the dual carriageway A4174. The side-road arms of Wraxall Road Roundabout are Wraxall Road to the west and Tower Lane to the east. A4174/Wraxall Road Roundabout To the north the A4174 continues through the A420 Roundabout that provides access to Kingswood and forms a major arterial route into Bristol. Further north the A4174 continues through the East Fringe to the M32 and the A38 beyond that to the west. The A4174 terminates some 3.6km to the south at Hicks Gate Roundabout at the intersection between the A4174 and the A4 with the latter providing a key strategic route into Brislington and Bristol, to the west, and towards Bath in the east. Wraxall Road Roundabout currently experiences congestion with delays mainly on the side-road arms during the weekday morning peak period of nearly 30 seconds according to journey time data, and delays of over a minute on most approaches during the weekday evening peak period. Delays on the A4174 southbound approach are nearly one and half minutes during this period. There are a number of development sites in the North and East Fringe that are either committed or in the planning process.

  • Infrastructure Delivery Plan (March 2014)
    South Gloucestershire Infrastructure Delivery Plan March 2014 Infrastructure Delivery Statement – Supporting Explanation Planning for infrastructure to meet existing deficiencies and future growth is a high priority for the Council. It therefore continues to work closely with its development partners, the West of England Partnership (4UAs) and other statutory and non-statutory organisations to identify and bring forward new and improve existing infrastructure. The information shown in the following matrix reflects the current position at the time of writing [March 2014] based on information available to the Council. The IDP is thus subject to continual update and review as new information becomes available. It is proposed therefore that it is a 'living document'. The IDP matrix should be read in conjunction with the supporting Evidence Appendices. The following tables give a broad indication of the planned provision, cost and need for infrastructure in South Gloucestershire (to 2027). It sets out planned infrastructure to meet existing deficiencies where information is available, plus that required to meet growth as set out in the South Gloucestershire Local Plan 2006 & Core Strategy (Dec 2013). It thereby indicates requirements for additional infrastructure which would not have been necessary but for the implementation of the proposed development. Where available, items contained within existing S106 agreements for major development sites (or agreements in advanced states of negotiation) have been reflected. For clarity these major sites are Emersons Green Science Park, Charlton Hayes, Harry Stoke, Emersons Green East, Park Farm –Thornbury, North Yate New Neighbourhood & University of the West of England. These sites may from time to time, be subject to change due to negotiation and viability testing instigated by the respective developers.

  • Employment Land Survey
    Environment and Community Services Employment Land Survey April 2017 www.southglos.gov.uk Employment Land Survey April 2017 Introduction The Employment Land Survey monitors the availability, distribution and loss of employment and non-residential land and buildings across South Gloucestershire. For the purposes of this report, employment and non-residential includes the following main land uses (for clarity these categories are further subdivided in the tables below): Class A1 = Shops Class A2 = Financial and Professional Services Class A3 = Restaurants and Cafes Class A4 = Drinking Establishments Class A5 = Hot Food Takeaways Class B1 = Business and Light Industry Class B2 = General Industrial Class B8 = Storage and Distribution Class C1 = Hotels Class D1 = Non Residential Institutions Class D2 = Assembly and Leisure Sui Generis = Commercial uses not falling into any of the above categories The Employment Land Survey provides a record of “Gains” and “Losses” (the latter monitored for the first time in the 2007 Survey) of employment and non-residential land and buildings categorised as either: a) new build (on “Greenfield” or undeveloped sites); or b) re-development or change of use (of existing sites and buildings); or c) extension of existing buildings and premises (to create new office, industrial, warehousing space or other developments). The survey does not cover “small-scale” development and restricts analysis to sites of “0.4ha (Gross) and above” or “500 square metres (Gross) and above” across South Gloucestershire. All new development is monitored on sites safeguarded for “employment” (through South Gloucestershire Local Plan Policy E4) and sites identified for safeguarding for “economic development” uses (through Policy CS12 of the Core Strategy).
