A total of 120 car parking spaces are proposed at the new Lidl food store unit. Layout plans of the proposed re- development site are contained at (Appendix A). 1.1.3 The aim of this report is to demonstrate that there are no reasons, in highway and transportation terms, why the proposed re-development site should not be allocated planning permission. 1.2 Scope 1.2.1 This report will discuss the following key transportation issues arising from the proposals: (i) the existing site location and transport infrastructure; (ii) analysis of personal injury traffic accident data; (iii) the site’s compliance with applicable transport policy; (iv) the development proposal in detail; (v) development-generated vehicular traffic; and (vi) development impact on the surrounding highway network. 1.2.2 Corun contacted the Local Highway Authority (LHA) directly in advance of submission to discuss the scope of works for the TS, which was agreed in advance. 20-00693/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd December 2020 Page 4 Lidl, Gorseinon Lidl Great Britain Limited Transport Assessment 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 Site Description and Location 2.1.1 The proposed re-development site (hereon referred to as the ‘site’) is located along the A4240 Gorseinon Road between the villages of Gorseinon (to the west) and Penllergaer (to the east) in the county of Swansea. The site forms part of the Garngoch Industrial Estate, and currently contains a Poundstretcher retail unit approximately 2,454m2 (GFA) in size. 2.1.2 The site is bordered by the A4240 Gorseinon Road along its northern edge, with neighbouring industrial units to the east, west, and south. These industrial units include a Lidl food store, bakery, timber supplier, and tyre service centre. 2.1.3 The existing Poundstretcher unit currently provides parking for approximately 85 vehicles. 2.1.4 The site is shown in a local context in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1: Site in Local Context © openstreetmap contributors 2.2 Site History 2.2.1 Planning permission on the site was originally granted in March 1980 by the then Lliw Valley Borough Council for the erection of a warehouse for the sale of building materials and garden materials only (as per application ref: 2/2/79/0826/02). Condition 1 of the planning permission stated the following: "The use shall be strictly confined to the sale of building materials and gardening materials only and the sale of any other type of goods whatever from the premises is expressly excluded from the consent” 20-00693/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd December 2020 Page 5 Lidl, Gorseinon Lidl Great Britain Limited Transport Assessment 2.2.2 In December 2016 the site (which was then owned and occupied by B&Q) was granted approval for a variation of the Condition 1 planning permission, to broaden the range of goods that could be sold from the site (as per Swansea Council application ref: 2016/3169/S73). This approved variation was as follows: “The use shall be strictly confined to the sale of the following goods, provided that no more than 20% of the gross floor area shall be used for the sale of goods from any one category: • Building Materials and Gardening Materials; • Home Furnishings and Furniture; • Toiletries and Household Goods; • Car and Electronic Accessories; • Kitchenware; • Luggage and Storage; • Toys, Clothing, Stationery and Partyware; and • Food and Drink; No more than 30% of the gross floor area shall be used for the sale of Pet Care Products.” 2.2.3 On granting of this variation, the unit was let out and used as a Poundstretcher retail unit, selling a range of discount items including home and garden, clothing, electrical, and ancillary food / drink products. Poundstretcher no longer operate from this unit, which has been vacant for some time. 2.3 Local Highway Network 2.3.1 The site is accessed directly off the A420 Gorseinon Road via a priority junction with a ghost island right-turn layout, at a point along the north eastern border of the site. 2.3.2 In the vicinity of the site, the A4240 Gorseinon Road is approximately 9m in width with a central hatched area to divide the opposing flows, and designated ghost island right-turn areas provided at access points to neighbouring industrial units. The road is subject to a 30mph speed limit, with footway provision on each side of the carriageway. 2.3.3 To the east of the site, the A4240 Gorseinon Road routes through the town of Penllergaer providing a direct connection to the M4 Junction 47 (approximately 1.6km to the east). 2.3.4 This in-turn provides a route to M4 junctions for towns in the north of Swansea, and further to the larger settlements of Carmarthen to the west (approximately 37km), and Neath, Bridgend, and Cardiff to the east (approximately 17km, 44km, and 74km respectively). The M4 Junction 47 also provides a connection to the A483, which in turn provides a route south through to Swansea city centre (approximately 10km to the south of the site). 2.3.5 West from the site, the A4240 routes through the town of Gorseinon, connecting with the A484 (at the Loughor Bridge), which in turn provides a route into the town of Llanelli (approximately 14km to the west). Approximately 0.5km west from the site, Hospital Road also provides a route south into Swansea city centre via onward connections to the A483. 2.3.6 The site is shown in a wider strategic context in Figure 2.2. 20-00693/TS/01 Corun Associates Ltd December 2020 Page 6 Lidl, Gorseinon Lidl Great Britain Limited Transport Assessment Figure 2.2: Site in Strategic Context © openstreetmap contributors 2.4 Pedestrian Facilities 2.4.1 In the vicinity of the site, footways of between approximately 2.8m to 3.0m are present on both sides of the A4240 Gorseinon Road (with the footway on the southern side of the carriageway separated from the carriageway by a 0.8m wide grass verge). Street lighting is present on both sides of the carriageway. 2.4.2 Pedestrian access to the site is provided at the same point as the vehicular access junction, via a connection directly into the existing footway located along the southern edge of the A4240 Gorseinon Road. 2.4.3 A ghost island pedestrian crossing is situated approximately 10m north of the site access point, providing a crossing point to the footway along the northern edge of the A4240 Gorseinon Road carriageway. A signalised crossing across the A4240 Gorseinon Road is also provided near the Phoenix Way junction, approximately 140m to the north of the site pedestrian access point.

    Safe roads, reliable journeys, informed travellers M4 junctions 3 to 12 smart motorway TR010019 7.3 Engineering and design report 5(2) (q) Revision 0 March 2015 Planning Act 2008 Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009 Volume 7.0 Volume An executive agency of the Department for Transport HIGHWAYS AGENCY – M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Highways Agency (the "Agency") is making an application (the "Application") for development consent to improve the M4 motorway ("M4") to a smart motorway between junction 3 (Hayes) in west London and junction 12 (Theale), which is near Reading, (the "Scheme"). This Engineering and Design Report ("EDR") accompanies the Application and its purpose is to explain the design principles and design rationale for the Scheme. It describes how the design has been influenced by the technical and operational requirements of creating all-lane running and smart motorway infrastructure. It is similar to a Design and Access Statement ("DAS"), but provides additional Scheme-specific information beyond that usually provided for within a DAS. It also supports the environmental impact assessment of the Scheme. The Strategic Road Network ("SRN") in England comprises motorways and all-purpose trunk roads. The SRN is operated, maintained and improved in England by the Agency on behalf of the Secretary of State. The Agency is an executive agency of the Department for Transport (“DfT”). The M4 is the main strategic route between London and the west of England, and on to South Wales. The M4 currently suffers from heavy congestion between junctions 3 (Hayes) and 12 (Theale), which leads to unpredictable journey times.
