Appendix C Derivation of Cross Solent Service Capacity Cross Solent Movement Study 1 1 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The Isle of Wight (IOW) Council is in the process of preparing a Local Development Framework (LDF) to supersede the current Unitary Development Plan (UDP). Known as the Island Plan the documents forming the LDF will set out the Council’s planning policies and proposals for meeting the community’s economic, social and environmental needs in terms of spatial land use. In the coming years to 2020 and beyond the IOW is set to change. The vision is for economic regeneration of the Island bringing with it new employment opportunities and a broader skill base. At the same time, the Council will need to respond to the housing requirements of the emerging Regional Spatial Strategy (the South East Plan) that indicates an annual construction of 520 houses on the Island. As part of the Island Plan it is anticipated that tourism will continue to play a key role in the local economy. The IOW Tourism Development Plan supports the potential for significant growth in the number of tourist visiting the Island over the next 20 years. The increased levels of economic activity envisaged by the Island Plan will bring greater demands for the movement of people and goods both on/off and within the Island. Recognising the pressure this could place on the vital cross Solent transport corridors, the IOW Council commissioned a Cross Solent Movement Study. Cross Solent Movement Study This report has been produced as a supporting Report for the on-going development of the Island Plan. The study seeks to identify: • whether existing ferry based connections are sufficient to serve the Island's future needs; • in broad terms, whether the entry ports have spare capacity or the potential to expand or relocate; and • the degree of integration of island-wide transport links at the entry ports. It is also the intention of this study to provide an appreciation of the limitations and opportunities for improvement of cross Solent operations. This should enable a better understanding of the potential implications for the various options for the siting of new housing and employment centres on the island that are being considered. PAGE 1 Cross Solent Movement Study 1 Introduction 1.2 Background 1.2.1 The Isle of Wight (IOW) is sited across the Solent from the prosperous Southeast Region of England. As a Unitary Local Authority within Hampshire County Council, the Island is governed through the Isle of Wight Council. Given the proximity of the IOW to the southern coast of England, the fact that it is a net importer of goods and the popularity as a tourist destination, it is not surprising that there is considerable commuter, social and tourist, and freight movement to and from the Island via the ports of Southampton, Portsmouth and Lymington. 1.2.2 These cross Solent links are reported in the IOW Unitary Development Plan1 (UDP) as “a major impact factor to the social- economic development and economic prosperity of the Island”. The annual demand for cross Solent travel has been historically on the increase and is expected to double in the next 10-15 years. In 2004, a total of 9.3 million passengers and 1.7 million vehicles were recorded to cross the Solent in both directions2. 1.2.3 The absence of any form of physical road or rail link or scheduled air services between the Island and the mainland means that cross Solent movement depends heavily on the existing water crossings. It is therefore essential that these water crossing services are not only able to cope with existing and future demands of passenger and vehicular movement but also are able to provide a satisfactory service at a reasonable cost to the users. Furthermore, it is important that adequate infrastructure provision and traffic management strategies are in place to ensure that vehicles and pedestrians can efficiently use these facilities at ports serving the Solent. 1.3 Policy Context 1.3.1 The IOW Council recognises the importance of cross Solent travel and the UDP includes two key policies TR10 and TR11 to ensure sustainable future development of facilities, services and supporting infrastructure within the

Scope of the Review 3 B. Limitations and responsibilities Distribution list For action: Helen Miles, Head of Legal Services and Monitoring Officer For information: John Metcalfe, Chief Executive FINAL PwC C - 30 Back Executive summary Background and scope Outcomes Appendices Executive summary (1 of 1) Overview The replacement of the Cowes Floating Bridge is a high profile project for the Isle of Wight Council and was initially integrated with the overall project plans to deliver the regeneration of East Cowes. In order to ensure that there was a suitable level of community engagement and agreement there was a need for additional consultation on the wider regeneration of the local area. The Solent Gateways initiative, which originally included the Floating Bridge replacement, progressed more slowly than originally planned due to planning issues. Therefore the Floating Bridge project was separated out in order to secure the funding that had been identified under the Local Growth Deal. The Council therefore separated the Bridge from the East Cowes regeneration project in order to deliver the Bridge with Local Growth Deal funds. The Council duly completed the required Business Cases and secured the funding to support the Cowes Floating Bridge infrastructure development. The project progressed through specification, tender and appointment phases for the key contractors for example Naval Architects, Marine Engineers, Owners Representative etc. and infrastructure elements for example the boat itself and the slipway works.

Buy a ticket before you board You need to buy a valid ticket before you get on your train. We know that most of our passengers do this before travelling, and we have a duty to those passengers to make sure no-one travels without paying. This is why we run a penalty fares scheme across most of our network. If you travel without a valid ticket to or from a station within the penalty fares area, you may have to pay a penalty fare of £20 or twice the single fare to the next station your train stops at (whichever is higher). You will also have to buy a ticket for the rest of your journey. We have a policy to, wherever possible, prosecute everyone who deliberately avoids paying. Travel with Confidence If you are travelling with us, please continue to follow the Government’s advice by maintaining social distancing, where possible, and wearing a face covering at our stations and on our trains, unless exempt.

  • Island Line Replacement Report
    Island Line Replacement Review Executive Summary September 2001 1 Introduction Remit The SRA commissioned a review to advise on options to continue provision of passenger services on the existing Island Line route between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin, beyond the existing Stagecoach franchise period which has now been extended to 27 September 2003. The brief required the scoping of two scenarios, ‘heavy rail’ and ‘light rail’, in terms of feasibility of options and the works and equipment investment required, with an assessment of the costs and scale of any passenger revenue benefits likely to arise from each option. The main outputs required from this study include a strategic review of the existing infrastructure and rolling stock asset condition, the future peak capacity requirements, and potential infrastructure and rolling stock specifications and costs for both ‘heavy rail’ and ‘light rail’ scenarios, that would most effectively serve the potential demands for the Island Line existing corridor, including a high level feasibility and cost / benefit analysis comparison of ‘heavy’ versus ‘light’ rail options over 10, 20 & 30 year horizons. The review aims to identify and assess potentially appropriate Development Options to facilitate development of passenger services along the existing Ryde – Shanklin route. Various resource levels and investment schemes for train services, rolling stock options: new electric stock, diesel stock, and light rail, compared with further LUL cascade, and infrastructure e.g. restoring a passing facility at Brading, were considered. We have carried out a separate study, for the Isle of Wight Council, which considers options for route extension south of Shanklin to Ventnor, and via the IoW Steam Railway through Smallbrook to Newport and on to Cowes.
