Introduction 1.1.1 This Transport Assessment (TA) has been undertaken by Optima to consider the highways and transportation issues raised by an outline planning application for residential development on land formerly occupied by the now defunct Goldthorpe Colliery. The Site is located to the south of Doncaster Road, Goldthorpe. The location of the Site is shown on Figures 1 and 2 for the strategic and local highway networks respectively. An extract of the Site in relation to the wider highway network is shown in Image 1.1. Image 1.1 Extract of Strategic Site Location Plan 1.1.2 The proposed development, which is also referred to as the Site within this report, comprises up to 125 residential dwellings. Further details of the development proposals are provided in Chapter 3 and shown on the architect’s masterplan in Appendix A. 1.1.3 The site was part of a previous application for the wider redevelopment of the colliery (application reference B/04/2330/DE) which was granted permission in October 2005. A further application (reference 2013/1330) was granted permission in April 2014. 1.1.4 The Phase 1 development for the colliery Site was for a total of 321 dwellings of which 247 dwellings have already built out (at the time of the traffic surveys). Construction of the remaining 74 units is continuing on Site. 1.1.5 The proposed application shows a decrease of 65 units in comparison with the previous 190 unit scheme which gained planning consent in October 2005, but remains the same as the application which received consent in April 2014. 1 Transport Assessment Sir Robert Ogden CBE LLD Former Goldthorpe Colliery 1.1.6 This report sets out the transport issues relating to the proposed development and identifies what measures will be provided to accommodate the anticipated transport impacts of the scheme. The TA considers the sustainability of the Site, reviewing the provision for, and quality of, facilities and connections to and from the surrounding areas. It covers a variety of topics and the document structure is as follows: • Chapter 2 – describes the Site and the existing transport conditions; • Chapter 3 – defines the development proposals including the access strategy; • Chapter 4 – describes the accessibility of the Site by non-car modes including accessibility to local facilities/services; • Chapter 5 – sets out the trip generation and distribution methodologies applied in the assessments of the highway network; • Chapter 6 – provides a commentary of the assessments that have been undertaken to determine the impact of the development on the highway network; and • Chapter 7 – highlights the conclusions of the report. 2 Transport Assessment Sir Robert Ogden CBE LLD Former Goldthorpe Colliery 2. Existing Site Conditions 2.1.1 This chapter describes the Site and considers the existing conditions on the surrounding highway network for a range of transport modes. It includes a review of traffic count information and accident data. 2.2 EXISTING SITE 2.2.1 The proposed brownfield land Site, which was formally occupied by Goldthorpe Colliery, is located on land to the south of Doncaster Road and an area of allotments. The Site is located in Goldthorpe in the Dearne Valley and is situated approximately 15km south-east of Barnsley. The location of the proposed Site is shown on Figures 1 and 2 in relation to the strategic and local highway networks. An extract of Figure 2 is shown in Image 2.1. Image 2.1 Extract of Local Site Location Plan 2.3 EXISTING LOCAL HIGHWAY NETWORK 2.3.1 Vehicular access to the proposed Site is via Kingsmark Way which has an average carriageway width of 6.8m and approximate footway widths of 1.8m to either side. Kingsmark Way connects to Doncaster Road via a simple priority T-Junction. Both Kingsmark Way and Doncaster Road are subject to a 30mph speed limit. 2.3.2 The existing layout of the Kingsmark Way/Doncaster

However, it wasn’t until between 1550 and 1700 that the industry expanded (Hill 2001, 54). These early mines were shallow, relatively small scale, short-lived operations because there were few transport links beyond local markets. These mines left few traces on the landscape and many did not survive long enough to be marked on the 1850s Ordnance Survey maps. This style of mining continued into the early 19 th century but the coming of railways in the mid 19 th and 20 th century and the building of the canals facilitated greater expansion. The greatest density of coal seams in the South Yorkshire coalfield was along the centre of the coal measures running through the east of Barnsley. This meant that although these seams had been worked for half a century longer than the concealed coal measures east of Barnsley there were similar reserves remaining (ibid, 14).

Our biggest thanks go to the participants in the research, and their families, for giving their time to the project and for sharing their lives with us. We hope this report does justice to their honesty and openness. The research would also not have been possible without the dedicated team of volunteer researchers: Sarah Baker, Hannah Jessop, Judith Marks, Eloise Nisbet, Kitty Sui, Julie Ward and John Whitmill. These Church Action on Poverty members and students freely gave their time and expertise to listen carefully to the participants and so provide an accurate, thorough and caring account of their lives. Thanks are also due to: South Yorkshire Credit Union – particularly Ian Guest, Gail Foster and staff at the Goldthorpe branch for sharing their office space and giving invaluable support and advice. Alan Thornton and staff at Church Action on Poverty, particularly Niall Cooper, Janet Gee, Jenny Lazarus and Liam Purcell.

  • Dearne Valley Eco-Vision Final Report.Pdf
    DEARNE VALLEY ECO-VISION “Perhaps we cannot raise the winds. But each of us can put up a sail, so that when the wind comes we can catch it.” E.F.Schumacher ‘The future of the Dearne Valley will be re-imagined by an eco-vision. The vision is of a place transformed by the know-how of its people and by the imagination and commitment of its communities and enterprises. It will be a place defined by action, in the knowledge that time is running out for the status quo. Within a decade it will be the lowest carbon community of its kind in the country. A pioneer proud to tell its story and share its experiences. Using its distinct resources, assets and potential as a foundation, the Dearne will build a lean, green economy in preparation for the challenges that lie ahead. But above all the eco-vision will rekindle the work ethic of the Dearne’s forefathers, providing a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration for the next generation.’ Published May 009 Sheffield City Region The Source 00 Meadowhall Way Sheffield S9 EA Tel: 0 6 5685 Email: [email protected] Web: www.sheffieldcityregion.org.uk The Dearne Valley eco-vision was commissioned by the Dearne Valley Special Board, one of the Sheffield City Region’s five thematic working groups. The eco-vision was produced by Nick Dodd, Jonathan Brown and John Sampson from URBED, with support from Richard Hindley, Nick Gardner and Joanne Parkin at SQW, and Jonathan Turner and Sarah Bull from DTZ. The authors wish to acknowledge the support of Joanne Wehrle from Rotherham Council, Martin Cantor from Barnsley Council and Stuart Jenkinson from the Environment Agency, as well as members of the Dearne Valley Officers Group and other key consultees (see Chapter 8 for a listing), in developing the eco-vision.

They understood that the owner has been notified. A member of the public stated that they had informed the Area Forum Officer and had been to a Councillors surgery and nothing had been done. A Forum Member stated that the Area Forum Officer will take the matter up and get back to the member of the public concerned.
