Overview of Stage I Study Approach 1.2 An extensive research and consultation programme has been undertaken by Scott Wilson through Stage I of the work programme, culminating in the production of a series of Technical Reports on the identified key drivers and related issues: Technical Report 1: Settlements and Transportation Technical Report 2: Biodiversity, Nature and Conservation Technical Report 3: Sand and Gravel Extraction Technical Report 4a: Leisure, Recreation and Sport Technical Report 4b: Tourism Technical Report 5: Agriculture Technical Report 6: Hydrology Technical Report 7: Heritage Technical Report 8: Landscape Technical Report 9: Planning and Policy 1.3 These reports present the technical baseline in relation to the current position of the CWP, and the evidence upon which discussion on future development options can be considered. These documents are supported by a dedicated Geographical Information System (GIS) programme devised by Scott Wilson to capture and record salient data. The GIS system can be accessed via the web-link: http://www.waterpark.org/society/cwp_master_plan.html Stage II Study Requirements 1.4 The following report represents Stage II of a three-stage work programme. This document details the issues that have been identified in the Stage I process. This in turn leads to the formulation of options representing the various interests in the CWP. These options will be evaluated in order to select a preferred option that can be used to guide the preparation of the vision. CWP_Stage II_FinalReport(MASTER 020708).doc July 2008 1 Cotswold Water Park Key Issues and Options Evaluation Study Approach 1.5 During Stage II of the work programme, Scott Wilson has sought to enter into discussions with key stakeholders and potential partners in the CWP to obtain an in depth appreciation of the issues identified during Stage I. The organisations consulted include: The Cotswold Water Park Villages Society The Cricklade Country Way Project The Cotswold Canal Partnership British Waterways The Co-operative Group (Co-op Group) Wiltshire Wildlife Trust (WWT) Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust (GWT) The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) Sport England Natural England Thames Water Environment Agency Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Minerals Planning Authorities Individual minerals operators 1.6 The discussions have been supplemented by workshops held with the full CWP Joint Committee and with representatives of local residents and local businesses. The list of attendees is included in Appendix A. The aim of the workshops was to discuss key issues and future aims and aspirations for the CWP from a local stakeholder perspective with the key points used to inform the priorities for consideration in the options. 1.7 The consultation and feedback identified priorities, potential benefits and conflicts that have proved invaluable to the overall process. Report Structure 1.8 The following report brings together the Stage I Technical Reports and the consultation programme. The findings of these investigations will be outlined in the following structure: Review of the interrelationship between the issues. Identification of the emerging options for development. Presentation of a rationalised basis for a ‘preferred option’. Analysis of the governance and management issues. 1.9 This information will be used to inform Stage III of the study programme.

  • Swindon Bus Station
    What is this document? We (primarily Lee) have looked at what the bus network might look like under option 24/7 in a pilot area, at the request of Philip Whitehead (meetings March and April 2016) The area selected was from (in the north) the Bath – Corsham – Chippenham – Calne – Royal Wootton Bassett corridor through to the Bath – Bradford-on-Avon – Trowbridge – Westbury – Warminster corridor to the West, covering all of West Wilts, services within that area out to Devizes. There is always considerable overlap across boundaries with public transport services, so you'll find significant services off the edge listed here, many of which are adjustments of ongoing supported services to continue to provide a logical, useful service. The suggestions here reduce the number of vehicle diagrams in the area from 59 to 52 – a saving of around 14%. The number of drivers required would be reduced somewhat less due to extension of some ENCTS time only services to cover journeys to and from work and in the evening and on Sundays and perhaps where appropriate a night bus. In general, very very few places / streets have lost their services, whilst areas such as the Pewsham Estate in Chippenham and Pickwick Road in Corsham see regular buses return, having been withdrawn under the current system. A number of new journey opportunities are provided too (some significant, some making use of much better bus / train connectivity) but there are cases where a change of vehicle will now be needed in place of a through service. Currently commercial services which thrive as “turn up and go” operations remain hardly changed – we are not proposing messing with what works – keeping the good.

  • 12. Transportation
    12. Transportation Introduction 12.1 This Chapter discusses the assessment of potential environmental effects resulting from the traffic, transport movements and infrastructure associated with the Proposed Development. 12.2 The Chapter describes the consultation that was undertaken during the EIA process and outlines the scope of the assessment and assessment methodology. A summary of the baseline information informing the assessment is also provided. 12.3 Several potential effects resulting from the Proposed Development were minimised in advance of the assessment and where relevant, this is clearly stated. The Chapter reports on the likely significant environmental effects and subsequently, mitigation measures required to prevent, reduce or offset any significant adverse effects, or further enhance beneficial effects. The conclusions are provided both in terms of the residual effects and their significance. 12.4 This Chapter (and its associated figures and appendices) is intended to be read as part of the wider ES with particular reference to the introductory chapters of this ES (Chapters 1 - 5) and Chapter 19: Cumulative Effects Assessment. Legislative Framework National Policy and Legislation National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, 2019) 12.5 Section 9 of the NPPF (Ref 12.1) focuses on promoting sustainable transport whilst acknowledging that the opportunities to maximise sustainable transport vary within different communities and from rural to urban areas. The NPPF provides guidance on transport infrastructure to facilitate sustainable travel in paragraphs 109 to 111. Local Policy and Legislation Swindon Transport Strategy (2009) and Swindon Local Transport Plan 2011-2026 (LTP3, 2009) 12.6 Swindon LTP3 (Ref 12.2) sets out the transport plans for the borough-based on the sustainable principles of the NPPF.

  • The Swindon Investment Guide
    THE SWINDON INVESTMENT GUIDE Foreword by Councillor Donachie, Cabinet Member for Economy & Skills Swindon has benefited from significant investment in road and rail transport links since the 19th Century securing its position as one of the best strategic locations in the country. This investment, and billions more in the following years, initiated Swindon’s incredible industrial heritage and manufacturing expertise and reputation, transforming the town into the large, multi-cultural, commercial centre that is thriving year on year. Swindon provides access to five major cities, numerous international transport hubs and to the motorway system through two significantly enhanced junctions. The railway line electrification project will further reduce journey times to London and London Heathrow to 45 minutes, making Swindon an even stronger investment proposition. The Swindon Borough Council Economic Strategy sets out Swindon’s approach to building upon its well established business base to create wealth, jobs, housing and new opportunities over the next 10 years. Our core Strategy is that “By 2026, Swindon will aim to be the UK’s most innovative, productive, fast growing city and will grow sustainably by up-skilling our workforce to enable our businesses to compete, whilst enhancing residents’ quality of life” Potential investors and developers will find exciting and lucrative opportunities within this Investment Guide. This is a fantastic time to be involved in Swindon as it takes its next step forward in economic growth. We hope you will choose to work with us and share in the prosperity we will create for businesses, residents and investors alike. Swindon is open for business and waiting to support you.
