Preliminary consultations with Newport City Council and Monmouthshire County Council have set the scene in terms of land use development plans. At Magor - Rogiet and Castleton, free flowing interchanges have been developed. At Magor - Rogiet, value engineering developments have led to revisions to the details presented at Public Consultation (Autumn 1994) and necessitated a change to the published route corridor. The revised Magor - Rogiet Interchange arrangement incorporates west-facing slip roads linking the New M4 to the B4245 to the west of Magor. The previously published Castleton Interchange arrangement and the revised Magor - Rogiet arrangement have been included as preferred proposals in this junction strategy review, although it should be noted that further value engineering work is planned for both interchanges. It is planned to present the preferred interchange arrangements to the public and other stakeholders as part of the forthcoming Public Information Exhibitions; they are shown diagrammatically in Figures 1.1 and 1.2. This report summarises a review of options for intermediate junctions along the New M4. The review has broadly covered the following: general engineering feasibility related to technical standards and good practice guidance; traffic operations with particular reference to use of the New M4 and relief to the existing M4; comparative performance of options in terms of Transport Users Benefit Appraisal (TUBA); and an initial assessment of the impact of tolling of the New M4. The review has focussed mainly on traffic operations and route choice. In considering the potential location for intermediate junctions, general consideration has been given to environmental and economic issues. In particular, efforts have been made to minimise the impact of intermediate junctions on the Gwent Levels Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). For further information, reference should be made to the Preferred Route Review Report prepared by Arup and dated April 2006. Following the appointment of a Financial Advisor by the Welsh Assembly Government, an Outline Business Case is to be developed for the New M4 Project. As part of this process, it is anticipated that there will be further development of the junction strategy. In parallel with the development of the junction strategy, studies are on-going in relation to associated measures that may be adopted along the existing M4 corridor in order to encourage greater accessibility and travel choice. Such measures have yet to be formulated and hence are not considered as part of this current review of junction strategy for the New M4.

The characteristics of each of the above options are described below. 2.2 Direct Link To A449 This option commences with a grade-separated junction on the New M4 to the south of the Corus steelworks. This junction would be situated within the Gwent Levels Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The route runs at high level on the west side of Monks’ Ditch through Newport’s Eastern Expansion Area and crosses the existing dual-carriageway steelworks access road. North of this road, the alignment then drops to ground level, before rising again to cross over the existing railway lines running along the northern boundary of the Works. Beyond the railway, there are two possible routes. The eastern route lies in open farmland and skirts the village of Llanwern. The western route swings to the west and crosses through the village and proposed development land, before turning north to cross over Cog Hill. North of Cog Hill, the routes follow the same line and enter an extended viaduct structure over the A48 Newport Southern Distributor Road (SDR), the western side of the M4 Junction 24 Coldra gyratory and the motorway. The route then turns to the north-east to link with the A449. Links between the A449 and the Coldra junction would be maintained by new south-facing slip roads. The purpose of the route would be to provide a direct link between the A449 and the New M4 south of Newport. This is a strategic route; as such, no connections are provided off it to the remainder of the highway network. It is envisaged that the following structures would be required: Bridges at junction with New M4; Retaining walls alongside Monks’ Ditch Bridge over Steelworks Access Road; Two bridges over railway lines; J:\117000\117300-00\4 INT PROJ DATA\4-50 REPORTS\4-50-18 JUNCTION Page 2 Ove Arup & Partners Ltd STRATEGY REVIEW\0002 JUNCTION STRATEGY REVIEW FINAL.DOC Final : April 2006 06/6866 5 Transport Wales Welsh Assembly Government New M4 Project - Magor to Castleton Junction Strategy Review West route – Bridge over Station Road; West route – Bridge over Cog Hill; East route – Bridge over side road between Llanwern and Wilcrick; East route – Access bridge over the A449; East route – Bridge over Langstone Lane; Bridge/fly-over at Coldra.

The need for a new motorway around Newport is overwhelming with the congestion around the Brynglas Tunnels negatively impacting on businesses and people from across South Wales. The first proposal for a relief road was published in 1991, almost 30 years ago. Although the failure to take action over three decades isn’t solely to blame, we believe it hasn’t helped the economic well-being of the current generation and has contributed towards: . The employment rate in Wales being an average of over 3% lower than the UK employment rate since the mid-1990s. The Welsh GVA per head being consistently lower than 75% of the UK average since the late-1990s with most recent figures showing that Cardiff’s GVA per head is the lowest 1 of the four UK capital cities. The Welsh Government’s analysis from March 2016 finds that a new M4 around Newport will improve connectivity within South Wales and with the rest of the UK which will: .

Newport's economy is therefore expected to grow by an additional 7,400 jobs over the LDP period. 2.69 In terms of allocating space to support delivery of these jobs, it has been identified that Newport requires a minimum of 21.5 hectares of employment land specifically for Class B uses, including offices and industrial/warehousing uses. There needs to be sufficient suitable warehousing land to meet the gross requirements coming forward in advance of industrial land disposals projected by the decline in industrial employment over the Plan period. For this reason an additional 13.5 hectares of land has been allocated on the grounds of being the type of land which is fit for purpose by today’s market standards. 2.70 Therefore, in total, the Plan has a minimum requirement of 35 hectares for net employment land for the Plan period.

    NAfW Environment and Sustainability Committee Review of M4 Proposals 1. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the National Assembly for Wales Environment and Sustainability Committee review of the M4 Corridor Enhancement Measures. We are pleased to provide our views on the process and proposals to date. 2. Sewta is the alliance of local authorities charged with developing transport policy and delivering transport projects on behalf of the 10 local authorities in South East Wales and their partners, both in the transport industry and in organisations representing users’ interests. 3. Sewta’s membership includes the local authorities of Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Torfaen and the Vale of Glamorgan. Partners are the Confederation of Passenger Transport, Arriva Trains Wales, Network Rail, Bus Users UK, Passenger Focus and Sustrans. Sewta works closely with the Welsh Government. 4. The M4 Motorway is a key element of the national and regional transport network, with a significant influence on travel patterns and economic performance. Accordingly, Sewta places great importance on engagement in the process to review existing provision and address known issues. 5. For the purposes of our response we have identified two distinct elements in the M4 proposals consultation and engagement processes: A. Original schemes consultation June and July 2012 (four highway options comprising, widening existing M4, two options to revise the Southern Distributor Road, and a new dual carriage way to the south of Newport, with common public transport elements); and B. Revised Scheme published 23 rd September 2013 (3 highway options to the south of Newport) 6.

  • Submission to the Public Local Inquiry M4 Corridor Around Newport
    September 2016 Submission to the Public Local Inquiry into the M4 corridor around Newport Summary We contest the proposed development for the following principal reasons: . The ‘need’ argument is based on flawed Transport Planning Objectives dating from 2007 which have been substantially unrevised since that date. The ‘need’ argument is unproven. Outside two hours a day for around 150 days per year, the current motorway copes well with existing traffic flows. Adding reasonable alternatives would suffice until at least 2037. The approach of the Welsh Government – ‘predict and provide’ – has long been discredited as a valid means of transport planning. The Welsh Government approach has failed to consider reasonable alternatives (including the ‘Blue Route’ via the Llanwern steelworks road, and alternatives relating to ‘common/complementary measures’, ‘public transport measures’, ‘junction closures’, and these measures in combination). The transport forecast is fundamentally unrealistic and this finding undermines entirely the Welsh Government’s rationale for infrastructure development. The proposed benefit – a 4-9 minute saving for 6,000 vehicles per day, for 150 or so days per year – is not commensurate to any degree with either the proposed expenditure or the proposed environmental destruction. The proposed benefit accrues principally to wealthy white men and worsens outcomes for those living in poverty. The sustainable development report is not fit for purpose. To conclude that the proposed development is sustainable (principally on the basis of economic benefit) is contrary to the word and spirit of sustainability. The economic appraisal is not fit for purpose. The Welsh Government’s approach of allocating ‘medium’ noise sensitivity to residential receptors is unique and unwarranted: the Planning Inspectorate, Highways Agency and Transport Scotland routinely classify residential receptors as being of ‘high’ sensitivity to noise.
