Site Location and Description This application is in respect of residential development at land to the south west of Garth Owen, Newtown. The indicative plans submitted with the application detail the provision of 25 dwellings on the site including four 1 bedroom flats, three self-build plots and 18 semi- detached three and four bedroomed units. Access is proposed off the U4208 known as Glyndwr and traffic calming measures are proposed in the form of speed cushions along Glyndwr, Cedewain and Hafren. Consultee Response Town Council First response No objection to the housing development. The Town Council have listened to and given consideration to residents’ concerns and wish the following to be noted please: Health and Safety during construction especially with regards to access to the site along the narrow road with on street parking. Increased traffic after construction, due to new development again along narrow access roads. Adequate parking on new development. Second response The council is pleased the research has been undertaken, notes the additional traffic information, and wishes to make the following comments: a) Construction Phase: that roads to the site need to be of a sufficiently robust standard to take modern heavy construction traffic, and that any damage is made good. 1 Page 7 b) Post Construction: the traffic figures reveal considerable traffic movement in the area, especially Plantation Lane, and the Town Council’s concerns submitted in June 2014 remain and are restated. Health and Safety during construction especially with regards to access to the site along the narrow road with on street parking. Increased traffic after construction, due to new development again along narrow access roads. Adequate parking on new development. Building Control The proposed work will require building regulations approval. Local Highway Authority First response The Highway Authority is unable to support this application without knowing the exact number of properties that are going to be constructed as the width of the approach roads will have a bearing on how many properties can be served off this type of highway hierarchy. I note from the plans submitted that there are no detailed access geometry and visibility splays in order for us to determine whether a safe means of access can be created. I appreciate the site is sloping and that significant engineering works will be required, will any of the soil be removed from the site? How is the highway surface water drainage going to be disposed? lt is noted from a site visit that there are a number of dwellings that park on the approaching estate roads as they do not have dedicated “off-street” parking facilities, and especially opposite the proposed new access. Has the developer considered providing a dedicated private car-park for the existing residents within the curtilage of this site. This would take some of the pressure of the existing streets. Additionally, there is no traffic calming along Garth-Owen, which I suspect is down to having parked cars on the existing highway. I have asked our Traffic Engineer to assess the proposal to see if traffic calming will be required as a result of this development. If so, this will need to be provided by the developer at their cost. I am unable to confirm whether adequate parking has been provided within the site as no floor plans have been produced, however I acknowledge the scheme is for outline only so these plans may not have been drawn up. It should be noted that 1 parking space is required per bedroom to accord with CSS All Wales Parking Guidelines 2008. I appreciate the site is located in a sustainable location is close to the local schools and leisure facilities, however as the site is not accessed by a bus route the majority of residents will drive to and from facilities. In view of the above the HA recommend that the application is withdrawn in its current format or REFUSED in the interests of highway safety. Second response As per my previous correspondence on this planning application, I can confirm that a Traffic study has taken place with identifies the existing and proposed traffic levels. Whilst, I appreciate the concerns of local residents. The projected extra traffic will not be detrimental to Highway Safety. However, to safeguard against the extra traffic and to control existing traffic on all of the approach roads, the developer has proposed some traffic calming features 2 Page 8 which will reinforce the requirement for motorists to drive at appropriate speeds.
