WARD: ALL HEAD OF STRATEGY AND DEVELOPMENT Contact Officer: Michael Thornton Extension: 2062 PORTFOLIO: PLANNING AND TRANSPORTATION RECOMMENDATION(S): 1. That the strategic level comments contained in the report be forwarded to the Highways Agency as an initial response to the proposals for the A21, and that a further report be made to Cabinet for agreement of any firm comments to be made on the route alignment and road type options; 2. That the Highways Agency is urged to prioritise the comprehensive improvement of the A21 Section between Lamberhurst and Flimwell prior to other sections south of Flimwell, to ensure a sequential approach to route improvement and urgent treatment of this most dangerous section of the A21; and 3. That the Highways Agency be requested to ensure that the Borough Council has opportunity to comment on relevant sections of the ECI contract specification to the contractor/designer of sections of work within the Borough (and that the ECI contract specification ensures that the contractor/designer be required to enter ongoing dialogue with the Borough Council over the new road design, construction and rearrangements of detrunked sections of the existing road). Reasons: To present the interests and concerns of the Borough Council on the proposals.

This includes the construction of a new dual carriageway from Kippings Cross to the northern junction of the planned Lamberhurst Bypass. The Borough Council has been consulted on the proposals, which are outlined in the report and a dialogue continues as the proposals are being developed in response to comments received. A strategic level initial response is recommended at this stage, with a more detailed response via a further report to Cabinet, to be made in the near future once the proposals become clearer. In addition, prioritisation of improvements for the section between Lamberhurst and Flimwell is also urged. Members’ views are sought on the issues of principle to be put in an initial response. FOR DECISION Introduction (1) The Borough Council has been consulted by the Highways Agency on its current proposals for improving the A21 between Pembury and Hastings; these further the agreed recommendations of the Access to Hastings Study. In general terms five Route Objectives and various options for the form of road to be built are put forward for comment. Specific initial alignment designs for two sections of the road: Section A - Kippings Cross to Lamberhurst; and Section C - Flimwell to Robertsbridge are also put forward. For the remainder of the route, including Section B - Lamberhurst to Flimwell, the consultation will help identify: which sections will receive priority; and the design principles to be applied to possible subsequent improvements. Officers and the Planning and Transportation Portfolio Holder are in ongoing dialogue with the Highways Agency and their advisors, Hyder-Consulting. (2) Compared to the consultation process and design proposals for the Tonbridge – Pembury section, this consultation is on longer and later timescale and the design proposals are far less specific. Indeed, the design for Section A - Kippings Cross to Lamberhurst is currently being developed, and further information is to be provided in relation to Section B. A different form of response to that made to the Tonbridge – Pembury consultation is therefore appropriate. (3) The response recommended is in the form of strategic level comments on the principles of design. Initial officer level comments on the December 2002 consultation proposals, consistent with these recommended principles, have been forwarded to the Highways Agency (in liaison with the Planning and Transportation Portfolio Holder) by the formal deadline of 14 February. Verbal update will be given to the meeting and further detailed comments on the revised scheme will be forwarded in due course, following further consideration by Cabinet. 030227/CAB161 31 Report of Head of Strategy & Development Continued The Process (4) The Access to Hastings Study recommended that further studies be conducted to identify improvements between Kippings Cross and Hastings. The Highways Agency held public exhibitions in December on its initial proposals and is now engaging in discussion with interested parties, with the current aim to finalise a report to the Minister for Transport in the Spring. (5) For Section A - Kippings Cross to Lamberhurst, this could lead to the formal declaration of a preferred route in the summer. The preferred route would not include the details shown on the consultation plans but only a road centre line with a margin of deviation extending 70m either side of that centre line. The next stage of the project for this section would see the early appointment of a contractor/designer later in the year under a Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Contract. This is a new approach to such projects intended to speed up implementation. The ECI contractor would detail the designs and supporting assessment, pilot the proposals through the preparation of necessary Highways and Compulsory Purchase Orders, then Public Inquiry into those Orders, and finally, subject to approval, construction possibly commencing in 2007. Proposals for Section C – Flimwell to Robertsbridge, could attain a similar programme. (6) For the remainder of the route, the second stage of the project would see the preparation of initial designs for consultation purposes for those elements prioritised as a result of the current consultation process. Therefore a key part of the first stage of the project is the selection of the key principles and priorities to be applied in the second stage of the project. The suggested Borough Council response to the Highways Agency includes firm support for the prioritisation of improvements of Section B - Lamberhurst to Kippings Cross. The proposals – general principles (7) The proposals are designed to achieve Five Route Objectives: 1) To improve the safety record of the A21, reducing accidents by at least 50% over the next 30 years; 2) To ensure reliable journey times and produce a significant reduction in journey time between Pembury and Hastings; 3) To minimise impact of improvements on the AONB, designated conservation sites and heritage; 4) To improve the environment in communities along the route and address severence; and 5) By improving the route, to assist regeneration and development in Hastings and region, including support of delivery of the Tunbridge Wells and Rother Development Plans. (8) Options for the form of the sections of road are put forward: • Three-lane Single Carriageway Standard (60mph) incorporating a hatched safety zone in a 19m wide corridor. Clearly marked, the third standard width lane would provide for overtaking and crawler lanes, switching direction only at roundabout junctions along the route. This would require 10% and 40% less land than the following two options and could more flexibly integrate into the topography and landscape because of the lower speed limit/design standards. • Compact Dual Carriageway Standard (70mph) incorporating a minimal central reservation in a 20.2 – 23.2m wide corridor. This includes reduced width lanes. • Standard Dual Carriageway (70mph) with conventional barrier central reservation and off carriageway hardened margins in a 26.1m corridor. 030227/CAB161 32 Report of Head of Strategy & Development Continued (9) The Three-lane option is shown in alignment drawings for Section C and the Standard Dual for Section A (and is agreed for the Lamberhurst Bypass). The consultation offers opportunity to respond to the suggestion of Three-lane Carriageway for Section B, Lamberhurst to Flimwell. The proposals, alignment of Section A – Kippings Cross to Lamberhurst Proposal briefly described (10) The proposal is for an additional new standard two-lane dual carriageway road between the existing two-lane dual carriageway terminating at Kippings Cross and the new roundabout at the northern end of the planned two-lane dual carriageway Lamberhurst Bypass (construction commences spring 2003). The road would be designed to the Highways Agency’s standards for a 70mph two-lane rural dual carriageway with roundabouts at each end and no access points en route. The existing road would be detrunked and substantially retained and adapted to create a continuous through-route between Kippings Cross and Lamberhurst with access to all properties en route and would serve local traffic, including public transport, cyclists and other non-motorised road users.

  • A21 Briefing from Highways England July 2019
    A21 SEVENOAKS TO HASTINGS ALL PURPOSE TRUNK ROAD Overview The A21 travels north south through Kent (M25 Chipstead) to East Sussex (Hastings). The route has gradually been upgraded predominantly from the M25 southwards - the last major project being the Tonbridge to Pembury dualling scheme completed in 2018. The route features strongly in the Highways England, South Coast Central, Route Strategy in terms of safety and congestion. As a result, a preliminary study was carried out which considered the opportunities for safety improvements and any further capacity improvements. The route strategy will support possible options for further safety and capacity improvement needs. Details of the next RIS will be announced by Government later this year and will be prioritised on the basis of strategic need, deliverability, buildability and value for money. Works undertaken on the route (last 5 years) These are works that we have carried out on the network, as well as some additional investigative activities. 1. Tonbridge to Pembury A21 dualling scheme completed 2018. 2. Kent cycle scheme funded in conjunction with Tonbridge to Pembury major project. 3. Double white lining south of Whatlington at Stream Lane and Ricards Lane junction to reduce collisions resulting from overtaking manoeuvres. 4. Resurfacing at A21 Kiln Down and Hurst Green Village including new markings and strengthened verges. 5. Review of Hurst Green pedestrian crossing, adjustment of sensors in response to complaints. 6. New signal heads at Hurst Green School – replacement of failed existing signs. 7. Comprehensive assessment for the installation of average speed cameras – unfortunately the scheme did not meet DfT and police enforcement criteria.
