EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Transport Assessment (TA) has been prepared on behalf of GE Aviation (the applicant) in support of an outline planning application for a residential led development to be located on part of their wider campus located at Kings Avenue, Hamble, SO31 4NF (the site).

As a business that has operated from its current site for a number of years and one which intends to remain in the area after the proposed development GE Aviation are keen to ensure that the proposals provide positive benefits to the local community whilst fully mitigating the impact of the development

The assessment has therefore been prepared following a number of pre-application discussions held with Hampshire County Council CC and Eastleigh Borough Council between May 2016 and June 2018 to reach agreement on the assessment methodology and the extent of mitigation that would be required. The transport strategy has also been informed by extensive public consultation held over the last two-year period.

The proposals will result in the loss of some existing buildings on site which currently generate a number of vehicle trips; this will significantly offset the impact of the development proposals on the local highway network. In addition, the proposals have provided the opportunity for GE Aviation to rationalise their existing operations through the creation of a delivery hub to be located remote from the site. This will mean that a number of large vehicles and 80 employees will no longer be based on campus and will not therefore need to travel along Hamble Lane thereby reducing the amount of traffic accessing the site.

This assessment has taken account of other committed development coming forward within the area and of the wider aspirations of HCC and EBC in improving traffic flow along the Hamble Peninsula. GE Aviation has therefore agreed to the principle of significantly improving the Hound Road / Hamble Lane junction and to make contributions towards Hampshire County Council’s Eastleigh Strategic Transport Study which aims to improve traffic flow and sustainable transport options along the corridor.

Through public consultation a number of other significant benefits have been proposed to improve the local area, including:

6 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

• The creation of a new residential parking area on Kings Avenue through realigning the existing road (to the north) allowing the provision of dedicated off street parking for existing residents and encourage cycling and walking.

• The provision of 115 car parking spaces for the use of the sports clubs thereby reducing the need for users to park on street across the local area;

• Improvements to Coronation Parade tying into the HCC / EBC proposals, providing more parking spaces and a new dedicated servicing layby.

• Improvements to the adjacent bus stops to encourage public transport use.

It is considered that through these enhancements and the changes to GE operations 148 dwellings can be accommodated on the local transport network without leading to any material change to the existing scenario whilst providing a number of wider area benefits.

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This Transport Assessment (TA) has been prepared on behalf of GE Aviation (the applicant) in support of an outline planning application for a residential led development to be located on part of their wider campus located at Kings Avenue, Hamble, SO31 4NF (the site).

1.2 The site is located within the authoritative boundary of Eastleigh Council (ECC), where Hampshire County Council (HCC) are the local highway authority. A site location plan is attached as Figure 1.1.

1.3 GE Aviation is a significant employer in the locality and wider region and will continue to be so. However, the facility has suffered economic challenges for the previous 5 years despite significant investment. There is now a requirement to rationalise the site and its operations in order to safeguard its economic stability and ensure the longevity of the site.

Development Proposals 1.4 The description of the proposed development can be defined as follows:

Outline consent, with all matters reserved except means of access, for the relocation of cricket pitch off-site and improvements to existing bowls and football facilities on site to enable the erection of up to 148 residential dwellings (Use Class C3) with new vehicular access, car parking, work to highways, landscaping, and other associated works. The application also seeks the demolition of non-original extensions to Sydney Lodge and redundant factory buildings.

Pre-application Consultation 1.5 A number of pre-application discussions were held with HCC between May 2016 and June 2018 to agree on the assessment methodology adopted in this TA. The agreements made during those discussions are attached as Appendix A and can be summarised as being:

• The extent of the local road network assessed; • The committed Development to be considered; • The trip generation and trip distribution figures and methodology, • The junction capacity assessment methodology; • The impact of the development; • The principles of site layout, access and the changes to Kings Avenue.

8 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

TA Structure 1.6 This TA is structured as follows:

• Section 2 reviews relevant transport related planning policy at national, regional and local levels;

• Section 3 describes the site location, accessibility and existing transport infrastructure;

• Section 4 describes the development proposals in detail, including scale, layout, pedestrian and vehicular access, parking provision;

• Section 5 undertakes a trip generation exercise and junction capacity assessment; and

• Section 6 provides a summary and conclusion.

2. INTRODUCTION 2.1 Transport related planning policy at national and local levels has been reviewed to ensure specific policies are complemented by the development proposals.

National Planning Policy National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2.2 The NPPF as of July 2018 sets out Government planning policy, provides a framework within which local planning policies should be produced, and is a material consideration in planning decisions. 2.3 With regards to transport, the NPPF details that: “Development should only be prevented or refused on highways grounds if there would be an unacceptable impact on highway safety, or the residual cumulative impacts on the road network would be severe.” 2.4 Paragraph 110 continues that applications for development should: • Give priority first to pedestrian and cycle movements, both within the scheme and with neighbouring areas; and second- so far as possible – to facilitating access to high quality public transport, with layouts that maximise the catchment area for bus or other public transport services, and appropriate facilities that encourage public transport use; • Address the needs of people with disabilities and reduced mobility in relation to all modes of transport • Create places that are safe, secure and attractive – which minimise the scope for conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, avoid unnecessary street clutter, and respond to local character and design standards; • Allow for the efficient delivery of goods, and access by service and emergency vehicles; and • Be designed to enable charging of plug-in and ultra-low emission vehicles in safe, accessible and convenient locations. 2.5 Paragraph 111 states that all developments that will generate significant amounts of movement should be required to provide a travel plan and should be supported by a transport statement or transport assessment. 2.6 This document sets out the government’s economic, environmental and social planning policies for England and its expectation for their application. It is meant as high level guidance for local councils to use when defining their local and neighbourhood plans. This approach allows the planning system to be tailored to reflect the needs and priorities of individual communities. 2.7 At the heart of the NPPF is a presumption in favour of sustainable development which ‘should be seen as a golden thread running through both plan making and decision taking’ (Paragraph 14). In Paragraph 15, it goes onto say that ‘Policies in Local Plans should follow the approach of the presumption in favour of sustainable development so that it is clear that development which is sustainable can be approved without delay’.

10 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

2.8 Paragraph 32 states that developments that generate significant amounts of movement should be supported by a Transport Statement or a Transport Assessment. It goes on to state that plans and decisions should take account of whether:

• The opportunities for sustainable transport modes have been taken up depending on the nature and location of the site, to reduce the need for major transport infrastructure; • Safe and sustainable access to the site can be achieved for all people; and • Improvements can be undertaken within the transport networks that cost- effectively limit the significant impacts of the development. Developments should only be prevented or reused on transport ground where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe’.

2.9 Paragraph 34 seeks to ensure that ‘developments that generate significant movement are located where the need to travel will be minimised and the use of sustainable transport modes can be maximised’. 2.10 Paragraph 35 goes on to state that ‘plans should protect and exploit opportunities for the use of sustainable transport modes for the movement of goods or people’. Therefore, developments should be located and designed where practical to: • ‘Accommodate the efficient delivery of goods and supplies; • Give priority to pedestrian and cycle movements, and have access to high quality public transport facilities; • Create safe and secure layouts that minimise conflicts between traffic and cyclists or pedestrians, avoiding street clutter and where appropriate establishing home zones; • Incorporate facilities for charging plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles; and • Consider the needs of people with disabilities by all modes of transport’. Planning Practice Guidance: (PPG) 2.11 The PPG provides more detailed planning guidance to support the NPPF and states that transport planning submissions can contribute to:

• encouraging sustainable travel; • lessening traffic generation and its detrimental impacts; • reducing carbon emissions and climate impacts; • creating accessible, connected, inclusive communities; • improving health outcomes and quality of life; • improving road safety; and

11 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

• reducing the need for new development to increase existing road capacity or provide new roads Local Planning Policy Hampshire County Council 2.12 In February 2011 Hampshire County Council approved a new two-part Local Transport Plan (LTP). Part A of the LTP sets out a 20-year strategy for transport development during the period 2011-2031 with the overarching themes of:

• Supporting the economy through resilient highways;

• Management of traffic;

• The role of public transport;

• Quality of life and place; and

• Transport and growth areas.

2.13 Part B of the LTP was updated in May 2014 and sets out a three-year implementation plan for 2014 – 2017. This document details planned spending to develop and improve local highway infrastructure and public transport facilities throughout Hampshire.

Eastleigh Borough Council 2.14 Eastleigh Borough Council (EBC) has a Local Plan (LP) in place which has guided development within the district since its adoption in May 2006.

2.15 The adopted LP was designed to lead development within Eastleigh up to the year 2011.

2.16 The Eastleigh Borough Local Plan 2011-2036 is being developed and will form part of the Development Plan. Responses have been received regarding the issues and options Consultation. The timescales in the 6th April 2017 Cabinet Report indicate that a ‘proposed submission’ is currently being consulted until August 2018, with adoption in early 2019.

2.17 In addition, Eastleigh’s ‘Local Development Framework: Residential Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document’, adopted in January 2009 sets out residential parking standards which apply in EBC. This document specifically states that:

12 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

In new housing developments parking spaces are generally allocated to specific dwellings. This approach, although desirable for buyers and therefore attractive to developers, does not always represent the most efficient use of the parking provided. The level of car ownership varies between households and in some instances there will be under provision of spaces and in others there will be overprovision of spaces.

The proposed revision of the residential standards, with increased provision for visitor parking, is considered sufficient to meet demand based on expected levels of car ownership, provided there is a combination of off-street allocated parking and off-street and/or on-street communal unallocated parking, as shown in the Table of Residential Parking Standards. These are the required levels of parking provision for residential development schemes. The overall number of parking spaces will normally be rounded up. Garages which are provided to the minimum internal dimension of 6m x 3m will count as contributing towards the overall parking requirement, as well as being sufficient for cycle storage purposes. Any garages less than this will not count towards the car parking provision, but they may count for cycle storage.

Table 2.1 shows EBC’s required levels of parking provision for residential development schemes.

Notes 1. A minimum of 20% unallocated parking is required to provide for casual and overspill parking. 2. All proportions to be rounded up to the next whole number. 3. Garages less than 6m x 3m internally will not count towards parking provision. 4. A minimum of 5% of residential spaces should be designated for use by disabled people.

3. EXISTING CONDITIONS Site Location 3.1 The site is currently located within part of the wider campus occupied by GE Aviation, the entire campus occupies an area of approximately 20 hectares.

3.2 The site is located 1.3km west of Hamble Square, and approximately 1.2km south of Hamble railway station. The surrounding area is primarily residential in nature; however, the western end of the site lies adjacent to units that form part of the area to be retained by GE Aviation, which consists of B1/B2/B8 land uses.

3.3 A plan showing the site in context is included as Figure 1.1.

GE Aviation Operations 3.4 GE Aviation is a world-leading provider of jet engines, components and integrated systems for commercial and military aircraft. The company currently operates from its campus in Hamble which has been manufacturing aircraft for over 80 years and currently employs over 800 employees.

3.5 The site accommodates around 152,000 sqm of manufacturing and administration space for the GE Aviation business. There are three access points for the site including a slipway which is used periodically for shipping products and delivery of goods and heavy machinery via Southampton Water.

3.6 The part of the site subject to this application is approximately 63,000sqm and is currently occupied by sports pitches, some 437 staff car parking spaces, Sydney Lodge (a listed building) and some redundant office and administrative buildings which are to be demolished.

3.7 The sports pitches and associated facilities located on site are privately used by clubs associated with GE Aviation, having originally served the employees of the campus. The proposals seek to retain the existing bowls and football facilities within their existing locations, the provision of enhanced supporting facilities and the relocation and improvement of the cricket ground off site.

14 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

Local Highway Network 3.8 The main site access is via Kings Avenue, a single carriageway cul-de-sac that is lit and subject to no restrictions. The end of the cul-de-sac is gated at the access to GE Aviation, there is a parking bay with capacity for approximately 6 cars immediately before the gate.

3.9 Kings Avenue also serves a number of residential properties along its southern edge. Only a limited number of properties have driveways and consequently a significant amount of overspill parking currently occurs on the carriageway and footways making cycling and walking challenging.

3.10 In addition, parking issues are exacerbated on Kings Avenue as a result of insufficient parking being provided at the adjacent Coronation Parade and for the sports clubs, which when hosting matches; results in the carriageway being reduced to an effective one way working as well as parking overspill across the wider area.

3.11 The junction of Kings Avenue and Hamble Lane forms a priority junction with a dedicated right hand turning lane for traffic entering Kings Avenue.

3.12 Hamble Lane is a single carriageway road that originates from Hamble Square to the east of the site and terminates at the Windhover Roundabout, approximately 4km to the north. Hamble Lane forms the main strategic route in and out of the Hamble peninsula, and provides connections to the wider highway network including the M27 via the A3024; Southampton via the A3025 (through Woolston and Ocean Village) or the A3024 (through Bitterne); the A27 north to Romsey, and the A27 east to Fareham.

3.13 In the vicinity of the site, Hamble Lane is lit and subject to parking restrictions in the form of double yellow lining.

Hamble Lane Corridor Study 3.14 Hamble Lane experiences significant traffic congestion, particularly during peak periods. Congestion is most pronounced on the A3025 section of Hamble Lane south of Windhover roundabout where there are three main junctions: a three-arm roundabout at the Tesco store access; a three-arm roundabout at the Jurd Way junction; and a priority junction at Portsmouth Road. For this reason, HCC are undertaking a study that considers improvements to the network.

3.15 The potential for improvements to this section of Hamble Lane was first identified as part of the Eastleigh Strategic Transport Study Interim Report – Issues and Options, produced

15 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

by the County Council in December 2015. This document outlined a series of possible concept options to improve both link and junction capacity along the A3025 section of Hamble Lane. Some high-level transport modelling was undertaken on these concept options, but further work was required.

3.16 On 14 November 2017, the County Council’s Executive Member for Environment and Transport gave approval to undertake a public consultation on improvements to the A3025 / B3397 Hamble Lane, in order to seek views on the extent and nature of potential improvements, the potential for behaviour change when it comes to travel choices, wider travel-planning initiatives, and the preferred way forward. The conclusion to the study is still awaited but it is understood it relates to improvements to junction performance and sustainable transport enhancements.

Access 3.17 Kings Avenue currently provides the main vehicular access to the GE Campus and associated Sports & Social Clubs, which are located at the end of the King’s Avenue cul-de- sac. Kings Avenue also provides access to the residences on the southern side of King’s Avenue. A number of these residences do not have off-street parking.

3.18 HGV access to GE Aviation does not use Kings Avenue, instead travelling farther south on Hamble Lane and accessing the industrial units via Coach Road and Cliffe Avenue.

3.19 A number of HGVs not associated with GE Aviation do however use Kings Avenue in order to deliver to the retail units on Coronation Parade and to access the existing residential premises.

Pedestrian and Cycle Infrastructure Kings Avenue 3.20 On the inbound carriageway of Kings Avenue there is a footpath and a wide verge providing access to the residential units. On the outbound carriageway, there is a wide footpath; however, the effective width is reduced by the presence of parked vehicles making walking and cycling more challenging.

3.21 It is noted that HCC and / LBE have recently consulted on improvements to Coronation Parade and the any proposals put forward by GE Aviation will tie into these.

16 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

Hamble Lane 3.22 There is public cycle parking provision at Coronation Parade in the form of 4 Sheffield cycle stands, with capacity for 8 cycles.

3.23 The footway on the northbound carriageway comprises a shared pedestrian and cycleway known as the Dani King Cycleway. This route originates at Copse Lane in the centre of Hamble, passes the site access at Kings Avenue and continues north past Hamble Primary School to Burlesdon some 4.3km to the northeast of the site.

Public Rights of Way 3.24 There is a public right of way footpath at the northern boundary of the site that links Hamble Lane to West Wood in the Royal Victoria Country Park. It should be noted that the land occupied by the Public Right of Way along the northern boundary of the site was gifted to EBC from GE Aviation during the period 2011-2012.

Cycle Routes 3.25 National Cycle Route 2 is located along the northern boundary of the site, running east- west from The Quay to Southampton and beyond, following the coastline. It should be noted that the land occupied by the national cycle route along the northern boundary of the site was gifted to EBC from GE Aviation during the period 2011-2012.

3.26 National Cycle Route 2 is a long-distance route that links with routes 23 and 236 at Southampton, and (using the Hamble-Warsash ferry) continues east to connect with routes 224, 22 and 222 at Portsmouth before terminating south of .

3.27 The location of National Cycle Route 2 and other rights of way are identified on Figure 3.1.

PERS Audit 3.28 A Pedestrian Environmental Review (PERS) audit was undertaken to assess the pedestrian infrastructure in proximity to the site, and on Hamble Lane between the site and local destinations such as Hamble Primary School, Hamble Station and Hamble Square.

3.29 The PERS audit was completed on Tuesday 25th July 2017 by one auditor, and assessed local pedestrian links, public transport waiting areas, public transport interchanges, and pedestrian crossing facilities. The full report is included as Appendix B with the results summarised in Table 3.1 overleaf.

Signalised Pedestrian Crossing C1 Green I1 Hamble Station Amber near Hamble Primary School

3.30 Overall, the links within the audit area that achieved ‘Amber’ received average or low scores for tactile paving, colour contrast and legibility. However, almost all links scored highly for maintenance and for dropped kerbing. Footways immediately south of Hamble Station (L10) are narrow and mature trees have made the footway uneven in some places, creating tapering.

18 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

3.31 Similarly, it was identified that on the approach to the railway bridge, the road slopes downwards towards L10, and the footway is narrow.

3.32 At the frontage of the site, the north side footway of Kings Avenue (L3) is in effect impassable to most foot traffic, and completely inaccessible to disabled users. Even with no cars parked on the footway, the surface quality poses frequent trip hazards and is likely to suffer from ponding in wet weather due to the presence of potholes.

3.33 The pedestrian crossing near Hamble Primary School achieved an overall RAG score of green (Good). The crossing achieved high scores for performance, gradient and direct permeability, but lower scores for capacity due to the narrowness of the access on the southbound carriageway, and also for legibility for the sensory impaired due to faded road markings.

3.34 All of the public transport waiting areas identified in this audit save one achieved an ‘Average’ (Amber) overall score. The stop at Hamble Square achieved a ‘Good’ (Green) rating due to a high level of cleanliness and maintenance and good provision of public transport information. There were no public transport waiting areas rated as ‘Poor’ (Red) along the assessed routes.

3.35 Issues which reduced scores included vegetation overgrowth obscuring signs (PT6, PT1) and poor maintenance (PT2, PT9). PT3 ‘Verdon Avenue Northbound bus stop’ achieved the lowest score due to vandalism and signs of ponding.

3.36 Hamble Station scored well overall; however, scores were poor for feelings of personal safety. Although there is CCTV at the station, it is somewhat isolated and does not receive much by way of informal surveillance, particularly during hours of darkness. Other issues included identifying where to go on arrival at the station owing to a lack of wayfinding signage.

3.37 A summary of the potential improvements that would be encouraged is included as follows:

• Resurface pedestrian footways on the north side of Kings Avenue and enforce parking controls to prevent parking on the footway; • Resurfacing at the junction of Hamble Lane/ Kings Avenue with consideration for better pedestrian permeability to Coronation Parade and to repair potholing with consideration for cyclists. • Improve legibility at the crossing adjacent to Hamble Primary School to direct station foot- traffic onto the western footway at an appropriate crossing point.

19 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

• Improve signage in the vicinity of Hamble Station to provide better orientation for pedestrians. • Improvements to PT1 ‘Sports Ground’ bus stop, with new seating, cutting back of vegetation and, if possible, installation of a bus shelter. • Installation of corduroy tactile paving at stairs at Hamble Station. • Cut back vegetation at PT4 ‘Verdon Avenue’. • Cleaning at bus stops.

3.38 It is considered that these enhancements could be brought forward as part of these development proposals.

Public Transport Buses 3.39 The closest bus stops to the site are located on Hamble Lane some 170m north of the junction of Hamble Lane and Kings Avenue and are known as ‘Verdon Avenue’ in both directions.

3.40 In the northbound direction, the stop consists of a flag and shelter with seating, whilst the southbound bus stop consists of a flag and information board only. These stops are served by the number 6, 405, 406 and X15 bus services.

3.41 Table 3.2 below summarises these services, their routes and approximate frequency. Bus stop routes and locations are included on Figure 3.3 and the relevant public transport timetable information is included as Appendix C.

3.42 Table 3.2 demonstrates that there are frequent bus services to/from Southampton which is a local employment centre.

Rail 3.43 Hamble Rail Station is located approximately 1.2km north of the site and is served by Southwest Trains and Southern rail services to destinations including Southampton

20 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

Central, Portsmouth Harbour and Portsmouth & Southsea. The station has 4 cycle wheel racks and both platforms are wheelchair accessible. The location of Hamble Rail Station in relation to the site is included on Figure 3.1.

3.44 The rail services and train frequencies available from Hamble Station are summarised in Table 3.3. It is considered that rail is a feasible mode of travel for those residents commuting outside of the town.

These services also stop at Bitterne, Woolston, Netley, Burlesdon, Swanwick and Fareham. Fareham and Portsmouth & Southsea also provide rail connections to Chichester and .

Local Services and Facilities 3.46 The site benefits from being located within proximity of a range of social infrastructure that acts as typical trip attractors for a residential land use, including education, food retail, leisure and health land uses, ensuring residents would not be wholly reliant on travel by private car to access essential goods and services.

3.47 Examples of this social infrastructure, and their associated walk distance from the centre of the site, are detailed below in Table 3.4 and the locations of the facilities are included on Figure 3.1.

3.48 As demonstrated in Table 3.4, these facilities can be accessed by modes other than the private car and realistically on foot by most able-bodied residents, thereby reflecting fundamental requirements of national and local planning policy for creating sustainable communities. The site location is therefore appropriate for residential development.

4. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS Introduction 4.1 This section describes the development proposals in detail and should be considered against the indicative site masterplan, attached as Appendix D.

Development Schedule and Site Layout 4.2 The development proposals are for the relocation of the cricket pitch to an off-site location and improvements to the existing bowls and football facilities on site to enable the erection of up to 148 residential dwellings (Use Class C3) with new vehicular access, car parking, work to highways, landscaping, and other associated works. The application also seeks the demolition of non-original extensions to Sydney Lodge and redundant factory buildings.

Vehicular Access 4.3 Vehicular access to the new residential development will be from Kings Avenue at the south of the site. To provide a betterment to the existing environment, Kings Avenue will be re- aligned to the north of its existing alignment in order to provide a new off-street parking courtyard for existing residents, as shown in Appendix D. This will provide a significant benefit to existing residents as well as encouraging pedestrian and cycle movement along Kings Avenue.

4.4 In addition, Coronation Parade will also be extended to the north to provide more visitor parking for the local shops and a dedicated servicing bay for larger delivery vehicles.

4.5 The access to the GE Campus and new parking area will also be taken from Kings Avenue, broadly in line with the existing arrangement, however the security barrier will be realigned to provide a tighter perimeter boundary and to provide more space for public access and enjoyment.

4.6 Service and delivery access to the GE Aviation campus will remain largely unchanged. However, as part of the wider proposals a number of vehicle movements will be relocated to a new delivery hub remote from the site meaning that a significant number of movements will be removed from Cliffe Avenue, Hamble Lane and the immediate area.

23 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

Pedestrian Access 4.7 The main pedestrian access will be from Kings Avenue with footways approximately 1.5m wide provided on both sides of the road. Outside of the primary pedestrian access, three additional pedestrian accesses to the footpath running along the north boundary of the site will be provided. The footpath leads to King’s Avenue and provides a direct pedestrian route to the bus stops on Hamble Lane and to the Hamble Rail Station.

Internal Layout 4.8 Whilst the internal layout is not for determination at this stage, it is proposed that a carriageway width of 5.5m is provided to accommodate two-way vehicular flow and in accordance with Manual for Streets.

4.9 Finally, it should be noted that the scheme is submitted in outline only. However, the final layout will be designed such that a refuse vehicle can get within 25m of each property and therefore it will comply with the relevant guidance within Manual for Streets.

Parking 4.10 EBC’s car and cycle parking standards are set out in Table 2.1 within this report and the indicative development proposals demonstrate that a scheme of 148 units is cable of being fully compliant with these standards.

4.11 In addition, it should be noted that 115 parking spaces will be provided for visitors and employees of the sports facilities. This will be of significant benefit to the wider area and will limited the extent of on street overspill parking that currently occurs when these facilities are in use.

4.12 Finally, Coronation Parade will also be extended to the north to provide more visitor parking for the local shops and a dedicated servicing bay for larger delivery vehicles.

5. TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION Introduction 5.1 This section of the TA sets out the vehicular trip generation associated with the proposed residential development and how the traffic distribution has been calculated. It should be noted that all matters relating to the study area and the approach to the junction assessments have been agreed with HCC.

Study area 5.2 It was agreed that the study area should comprise an assessment of the following junctions:

• Hamble Lane/Kings Avenue priority junction; • Hound Road Roundabout; • Cunningham Gardens/Chamberlayne Road/Hamble Lane signalised crossroads; • Portsmouth Road/Hamble Lane priority junction; • Lowford Roundabout; • Tesco Roundabout; • Windhover Roundabout; 5.3 Traffic surveys were undertaken on these junctions on 27th April 2018 to establish the existing traffic flows on these junctions.

Committed Developments 5.4 Following the pre-application consultation with HCC, it was agreed that the following committed developments must be considered as part of the planning application for the proposed development:

• Berry Farm F/17/79863 • Land West of Hamble Lane O/12/71828 • Mallards Road O/15/76491 • Cranbury Gardens O/15/76883 • Land South of Bursledon Road O/15/77121

5.5 The committed development trip generation has been extracted from the relevant Transport Assessment reports and is summarised in Figures 5.1 and 5.2 respectively.

25 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

Proposed Land Use 5.6 In order to determine the proposed level of vehicle trips likely to be generated by the site the TRICS database has been used.

5.7 The full TRICS output files have been extracted and the results are included in Appendix E, whilst the vehicular trip rates for the AM and PM Peak are summarised in Table 5.1.

TABLE 5.1: PROPOSED LAND USE: VEHICLE TRIPS

Trip Rates 0.162 0.425 0.402 0.238 Trip Generation @148 houses 24 63 59 35

Vehicle trip distribution 5.8 The development trips indicated in Table 5.1 have been distributed on the local transport network according to the Census 2011 Journey to Work Data to establish the trip end.

5.9 The route taken to and from each destination has been established using Google Maps quickest journey time information. The distribution of the proposed development trips has been applied to the network are attached in Figures 5.3 and 5.4.

Buildings to be demolished 5.10 As part of the redevelopment proposals and wider site rationalisation, a number of existing office and manufacturing buildings will be removed from the site. Table 5.2 lists the buildings to be removed along with their current or previous use class.

5.11 To calculate the likely level of trip generation that could be generated by these buildings were they to be let or reoccupied, the TRICS database has again been used. It should be noted that the plant room area has not been considered as a trip generator.

5.12 The following selection criteria have been applied during the site selection process for the B1 office floorspace

• Land Use; Employment (Office) has been selected; and, • TRICS sites located in Greater London, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Isle of Man have been deselected;

5.13 In addition, the following selection criteria have been applied during the site selection process for the B2/B8 floorspace:

• Land Use; Employment (Industrial unit) has been selected; and, • TRICS sites located in Greater London, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Isle of Man have been deselected;

5.14 The peak hour vehicular trip rates and associated trip generation derived from the TRICS outputs are summarised in Table 5.3. and the full output files are included in Appendix F and G.

5.15 The trips from the buildings to be demolished indicated in Table 5.3 have been distributed on the local transport network according the Census 2011 Method of Travel to Work Data to establish the trip end.

5.16 The route taken to and from each destination has been established using Google Maps quickest journey time information. The flows from the buildings to be demolished have been applied to the network and are attached in Figures 5.5 and 5.6.

5.17 The trip generation from the buildings to be demolished is discussed later in this report as part of the modelling scenarios.

6. TRAFFIC IMPACT Introduction 6.1 This section of the report details the assessment scenarios modelled to determine the impact of the development. It sets out the results of each junction, where necessary, mitigation has been suggested.

Assessment Scenarios 6.2 In order to evaluate the impact of the proposed development on the local highway network, the following scenarios have been identified and assessed:

• Baseline Scenario: Traffic Survey Flows; • Future Baseline Scenario: Baseline Scenario plus committed development flows; • Development Scenario 1: Future Baseline scenario plus development flows; and, • Development Scenario 2: Future Baseline scenario plus development flows minus vacant use flows;

6.3 The seven junctions listed in Section 5.3 of this report have been examined in more detail to evaluate their performance under the four scenarios. The traffic flows used are shown in Figures 5.7-5.14.

6.4 As agreed with HCC during the pre-application consultation, no TEMPRO growth factors have been applied to background traffic owing to the inclusion of specific committed development. This means that the modelled Development Scenarios essentially represent the 5 years after opening assessment year of 2022.

6.5 The following sections of this report present the junction capacity assessment results for each of these junctions under all scenarios for the AM and PM Peak.

6.6 The AM and PM network and development peak periods have been identified as 08:00- 09:00 and 17:00-18:00 respectively. Full results for all junctions are attached in Appendix H.

Hamble Lane/Kings Avenue Priority Junction 6.7 To assess the traffic impact of the proposed development on the Hamble Lane/Kings Avenue priority junction, a PICADY assessment has been undertaken. The results are summarised in Table 6.1.

6.8 The baseline model has been calibrated to match the maximum observed queues on this junction as shown in Table 6.2.

6.9 The slope intercept parameters used for calibration of the baseline model have then been carried over to evaluate all other scenarios under the proposed geometry of the junction.

6.10 It is demonstrated above that the junction operates within capacity during all scenarios since the RFC is well below 0.85 and no further enhancements would be required to accommodate the development.

Hound Road/Hamble Lane Roundabout 6.11 An ARCADY (lane simulation mode) assessment has been undertaken for the proposed Hound Road roundabout junction. The assessment shows that the junction is already at operational capacity in the AM and PM peak hour periods. The results are summarised in Table 6.3.

6.12 It should be noted that the model has been calibrated for both the AM peak and PM peak time periods as shown in Table 6.4.

6.13 It is evident that when comparing the impact of the development with the future baseline flows, that the scale of change between the future baseline and the development scenario 2 is minor. Therefore, the impact of the proposed development on the junction capacity is considered to not be severe when considered cumulatively. In addition, it is expected that the extent of queuing and traffic flow will reduce outside of the peak hour periods.

6.14 However, it is recognised that no mitigation is as yet proposed as part of the wider Hamble corridor study to improve the operation of this junction. For this reason, alternative solutions were explored to improve the operation of this junction and these are identified below.

Hound Road/Hamble Lane Roundabout Mitigation 6.15 A number of solutions were considered to improve the operation of this junction in its current form, however, it was concluded that that there is not enough land falling with the extent of adopted highway to accommodate the required geometry changes and retain the existing roundabout form of the junction.

31 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

6.16 Therefore, it was considered that the preferred option would be to provide a signalised junction in this location. Signalised junction options were tested using LINSIG and the preferred arrangement is shown in Drawing 17055-00132. The proposed layout complies with DMRB standards and can accommodate manoeuvres of a 16.5m articulated vehicle as demonstrated in Drawing 17055-00-133.

6.17 The results in Table 6.5 confirm that the proposed junction would operate with a Degree of Saturation of less than 90% in both the AM and the PM peaks, therefore the signalised junction will operate within capacity under both the baseline and the development scenarios.

6.18 Given the sensitivity of the network and the limited number of pedestrian movements through this junction, it was considered that incorporating pedestrian crossings in the junction arrangement would be unnecessary. Hamble Lane (north) only has a footway on the western side of the carriageway which provides a direct connection to Hamble Lane (south) without the need to cross at the junction. Similarly, pedestrian movements from Hound Road into Hamble Lane can be undertaken prior to arrival at the junction.

6.19 It is therefore proposed that pedestrian refuse islands are located remote from the junction to facilitate pedestrian crossing without reducing junction capacity. The proposed pedestrian crossings are shown in Drawing 17055-00-132.

6.20 The junction design has been approved by HCC and the applicant agrees to the principle of improving this junction as outlined above.

32 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

Cunningham Gardens/Chamberlayne Road/Hamble Lane Signalised Junction 6.21 To assess the traffic impact of the proposed development on the Cunningham Gardens / Chamberlayne Road / Hamble Lane signalised junction, a LINSIG assessment has been undertaken. The results are presented in Table 6.6 for each scenario.

6.22 Outputs from LINSIG are slightly different to ARCADY and PICADY, in that rather than RFC they provide Degree of Saturation (DoS) as an output, which is the flow divided by capacity (therefore effectively the same measure). For signal junctions, a DoS of 90% or less indicates that the junction operates within capacity, between 90% and 100% the junction is approaching theoretical capacity and queues would begin to build and over 100% indicates that the junction exceeds theoretical capacity and queues would increase rapidly.

6.23 It is evident that the DoS is less than 90% in both the AM and PM peak hour periods across all scenarios, therefore the signalised junction will still operate within capacity when the development is operational and no further mitigation would be required.

Portsmouth Road/Hamble Lane Priority Junction 6.24 A PICADY assessment has been undertaken for the Portsmouth Road/Hamble Lane priority junction. The results are presented in Table 6.7 for each scenario.

6.26 The assessment shows that the junction is currently over operational capacity in the baseline in the AM and PM peak hour periods

6.27 However, it is evident when comparing the results between each scenario that the scale of changes between the future baseline and the development scenario 1 and 2 is negligible and indicates no real change to the estimated performance of the junction with the proposed development trips included. Therefore, the impact of the proposed development on this junction is not considered to be severe. In addition, it is expected that the extent of queuing and traffic flow will reduce outside of the peak hour periods.

6.28 It is noted however that improvements to this junction are proposed as part of the wider Hamble Lane Corridor Study. The applicant agrees in principle to contribute towards the improvements.

6.31 It is evident from the above that the development is operating over capacity in the baseline scenario in both the AM and PM peak periods and would be expected to worsen in the future year scenarios.

6.32 However, when comparing the results for each scenario, the scale of changes between the baseline and the with development scenarios is minor and indicates no real change to the estimated performance of the junction with the addition of the proposed development Therefore, the impact of the proposed development to the junction capacity is not considered to be severe.

6.36 The assessment shows that the junction is already over theoretical capacity in the AM and PM peak hour periods. However, comparing the results within Table 6.11, it is evident that the scale of changes between the future baseline and development scenario 2 is minor and indicate no real change to the estimated performance of the junction with the proposed development trips included. Therefore, the impact of the proposed development to the junction is considered minor.

6.37 Again, it is noted that improvements to this junction are proposed as part of the wider Hamble Lane Corridor Study. The applicant has agreed in principle to make a contribution towards improvements.

Windhover Roundabout 6.38 In relation to Windover Roundabout, a Transyt Model was originally constructed to assess the impact of the development. However, since that time, a new scheme is being

36 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

proposed by Highways England and HCC which seeks to mitigate wider area impacts. For this reason, the earlier Transyt model built will not reflect the future year operation of this junction.

6.39 However, it is expected that the development will only add 66 vehicles to this junction in the morning peak hour, which is a 1.3% increase overall at the junction when compared to the Future Baseline scenario. For the evening peak, the development is expected to add 72 vehicles to this junction which is a 1.5% increase overall at the junction when compared to the Future Baseline scenario.

6.40 Furthermore, if the trip generation from the buildings to be demolished are discounted, then the AM and PM percentage increases fall to 0% and 0.3% respectively.

6.41 Therefore, it is considered that the increase in the development traffic in both peak periods will not be noticeable and cannot be considered as ‘severe’.

Summary 6.42 It is evident from the results presented above that the impact of the development is not considered to be severe. Nonetheless it is recognised that the proposals will have a cumulative impact on the operation of the congested Hamble Peninsula. It is therefore proposed to improve the Hamble Lane/Hound Road junction as part of this proposal and contribute towards the wider Hamble Lane Corridor Study, it is considered that such agreements would more than offset any impact of the development proposals.

7. TRAVEL PLANNING 7.1 Since 2016, GE Aviation has been reducing its vehicular trips to the site through effective travel planning measures such as cycle to work schemes, promoting employee fitness schemes and car sharing.

7.2 In addition to the above, the development proposals will now facilitate the relocation / creation of an off-site logistics hub, meaning that a significant number of vehicle trips will no longer be required to travel to the site via Hamble Lane. Currently a number of vehicles requires access to the site for small deliveries (often packed as part of larger loads being transported elsewhere).

7.3 The creation of the offsite logistics hub, capable of handling 30,000 components per month, will mean 80 employees will be relocated from the current GE Aviation site to serve the hub. As well as the reduction in these staff trips to the site, some 10 HGV’s per day and several smaller vehicle types will no longer need to access the site, as all site manufacturing deliveries and dispatches will be handled through the hub. The removal of this trips from the Hamble Peninsula has not been accounted for within the junction assessments undertaken but will lead to a significant reduction in traffic to and from the site over the course of the day.

7.4 Furthermore, a Framework Travel Plan (FTP) has been prepared for the proposed residential development and includes a range of management strategies and measures to encourage the residents of the site to travel more sustainably and not be wholly reliant on individual car use.

7.5 The Travel Plan which forms part of this submission includes the following measures even though this does not represent an exhaustive list:

• Improvement of the PT1 ‘Sports Ground’ bus stop by providing new seating, cutting back existing vegetation and if possible, installing a new bus shelter; • Improvement of the PT3 ‘Vernon Avenue’ northbound to mitigate against existing ponding and repair vandalised bus shelter; • Cutting back of overgrown vegetation at PT4 ‘Vernon Avenue’; • Appointment of Travel Plan Coordinators (TPC) who will ultimately be responsible for the implementation of the TP. The TPCs will be appointed in advance of the initial occupation of the development. • Information will be provided about the location of cycle parking and the cycle routes near the site, as well as advice for maintaining bicycles.

8. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS 8.1 Markides Associates (MA) have prepared a Transport Assessment (TA) on behalf of GE Aviation in support of their outline planning application for a residential development at a site located at Kings Avenue, Hamble, SO31 4NF.

8.2 The development proposals are to introduce a residential development of up to 148 dwellings, with main access taken from a new Kings Avenue access. The development proposals include the retention of some of the existing sports facilities and relocation of the existing car parking from the western side of the site to the southwest of the site.

8.3 In addition, the development proposes some significant enhancements to Kings Avenue for existing residents and future users, through the creation of a new parking courtyard, the widening of footways and the provision of a new delivery bay adjacent to Coronation Parade.

8.4 The Transport Assessment has demonstrated that the indicative site layout is readily accessible to all user groups, with delivery and servicing vehicles able to enter and exit the site in forward gear.

8.5 The indicative car and cycle parking will comply with HCC parking policy and can be delivered on site as part of later reserved matters submission.

8.6 It has been demonstrated that the site is within walking distance of local trip attractors and public transport nodes, including Hamble Rail Station and local bus stops, so future residents will not be wholly reliant on travel by private car for journey purposes.

8.7 Furthermore, whilst it has been demonstrated that the development will have a minor impact on the local network a mitigation scheme has been proposed for the Hound Road/Hamble Lane junction which will resolve the existing and future capacity problems as such and the applicant has agreed to the principle of contributing toward the wider Hamble Corridor study which seeks to improve junction performance and enhance sustainable transport along the Hamble corridor.

8.8 In addition, the scheme will deliver a number of local community benefits and improvements to the wider transport network including:

• The creation of a new residential parking area on Kings Avenue to improve the existing on street arrangement, thereby encouraging walking and cycling;

• Access improvements to Kings Avenue to increase its effective width;

40 GE Aviation, Hamble-le-Rice

• Improvements to Coronation Parade tying into the HCC / EBC proposals;

• Significant new parking provision for the sports clubs to reduce on street parking across the local area;

• Creation of a new delivery hub reducing the number of vehicle movements to the GE Aviation campus.

• New signalised junction arrangement to improve the operation of Hound Road / Hamble Lane junction;

• Contribution towards wider Hamble lane Corridor improvements;

• Installation of wayfinding signage at Hamble Station

• Improvements to adjacent bus stop.

8.9 On this basis, it is concluded that a development of 148 units can be accommodated subject to the required mitigation measures being implemented and therefore there are no transport related reasons why the planning application should not be supported.

From: Damian Tungatt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 22 August 2017 08:54 To: Fisher, Tom (ETE) Subject: GE Aviation - pre application

Tom

Thanks for your time yesterday which I considered to be useful.

As mentioned, I am keen to ensure we can agree as much “in principle” between us prior to submission to ensure that I can report back to GE Aviation and Eastleigh appropriately. I thought it may be useful to bullet point the current position in respect of yesterday’s discussions;

Site Access and configuration 1

 The proposed sites access arrangement which comprises a new access onto Hamble Lane to the south of the cycle / pedestrian route is appropriate to serve the GE aviation campus is appropriate subject to a safety audit. Agreed  The removal of service traffic from Coach Road and Cliffe avenue (with the exception of HGV’s existing the site) is supported. Agreed  The use of Kings Avenue to access the new residential is supported; Agreed  The introduction of some parking and servicing areas to improve the parking and servicing arrangements on Kings Avenue / Coronation Parade is supported. Agreed  Some of the residential plots being accessed via the new GE Aviation Access is supported, subject to their being a reasonable balance in traffic flows between Kings Avenue and the new access. Agreed in principle ‐ subject to agreed flows for each access

Wider Highway impact

It was agreed that:

 the assumed trip generation from the site acceptable; Agreed  the assumed traffic distribution from the site is acceptable, although the final TA should use the same assumption in respect of traffic using Portsmouth Road as the Berry Farm Application; Some what agree – having a quick review of GoogleMaps journey time data, as per your distribution, some trips will travel to Southampton along Hound Road so distribution along Portsmouth Road may not be as high as Berry Farm – as discussed in the meeting I am more than happy to agree this before any further work is undertaken  the base modelling / queue length validations etc. now seem more reflective of the current network conditions; Agree  the Hamble Lane / Kings Avenue priority junction operates appropriately in the with development scenario;  the Mallards Farm proposal modelled as a committed development has been refused and therefore modelling may want to be refined for submission; Agree  no other committed development requires inclusion at this stage; Agree  the Cunningham Gardens / Chamberlayne Road / Hamble Lane signalized junction is operating at just over 90% on one arm only and could likely be improved by optimizing the traffic signals. Agree, I will discuss this internally  the Portsmouth Road Hamble Lane junction operates over capacity in the PM peak; however HCC have received a contribution to improve this junction. We have received a contribution towards works to this junction, your development may be required to provide further mitigation e.g. financial contribution  The Windover Roundabout operates over capacity in the baseline and future year scenarios. HCC have received 5 contributions (the maximum permitted under S106) towards improving this junction. HCC to consider whether / how contribution should be made toward this junction (based on proportional impact) if applicable. I will double check if the pooling limit has been reached  Hound Road Roundabout operates appropriately in the with development scenario; I agree that the junction analysis within the Scoping Note is more reflective of on site conditions – There are a couple of arms which do operate over theoretical capacity and may require mitigation.  HCC are currently considering improvements that can be made to the Hamble Peninsula corridor; Agree  In respect of contributions / mitigation measures it was suggested that a review of the S106 for the Hallam land scheme adjacent to Hamble Station may be an appropriate guide. Agree

I trust you consider this reflect our conversation and I would be grateful if you could confirm back or recommend any changes.

Many thanks

Damian Tungattt

Dear Mr Tungatt,

Pre-Application – 150 dwellings at GE Aviation, Kings Ave, Hamble-le- Rice, Southampton

Thank you for sending through the revised Technical Note with the junction capacity assessment for GE Aviation pre-application proposals.

Trip Generation and Distribution The committed developments that need to be considered within the junction capacity assessment have previously been agreed with Hampshire County Council. In addition to this, the trip generation and distribution that is presented within the Technical Note have also been agreed with HCC after initial pre-application consultation. It is noted that trip rates have not been reduced as a result of GE Aviation’s latest business proposals such as the logistics hub.

Junction Capacity Assessment It was requested that seven junctions along the Hamble Lane corridor were to be assessed as part of this pre-application in order to show the effect that additional traffic from this proposed development will have on the presently highly congested traffic corridor. The following junctions have been assessed:

- Hamble Lane / Kings Avenue Priority Junction - Cunningham Gardens / Chamberlayne Road / Hamble Lane Signalised Junction - Portsmouth Road / Hamble Lane Roundabout - Lowford Roundabout

Director of Economy, Transport and Environment Stuart Jarvis BSc DipTP FCIHT MRTPI

- Windhover Roundabout - Tesco Roundabout - Hound Road Roundabout

Two scenarios have been identified in the analysis consisting of a Baseline Scenario and Development Scenario. The Baseline Scenario consists of the current background flows from traffic survey data (27/04/2017) and the predicted flows from the committed development. The development scenario is the Baseline Scenario plus the expected flows from the development.

Hamble Lane / Kings Avenue Priority Junction This junction has been modelled using PICADY. The RFC and queue lengths are predicted to be minimal in the AM and PM peaks and the development is not considered to impact the performance of this junction.

Cunningham Gardens / Chamberlayne Road / Hamble Lane Signalised Junction Clarification is sought if this junction has been modelled with trips associated with Berry Farm from Cunningham Gardens. Comparing the modelling results from the technical note to that from application F/17/79863 for Berry Farm, it seems the results reflect the old proposals that had vehicles accessing Berry Farm from a new Hamble Lane access rather than from Cunningham Gardens. Once this has been established we can review the modelling results at this junction.

Portsmouth Road / Hamble Lane Roundabout The junction of Portsmouth Road and Hamble Lane has been modelled as a roundabout. It was suggested previously by the Highway Authority that as part of Berry Farm application this junction will require highway works to become a roundabout arrangement. However, this was not the case and a financial contribution was secured towards signalising this junction as it was deemed to be more effective to mitigate the predicted capacity issues.

Therefore, it is requested that this junction is re-modelled using the geometry agreed within the Bursledon Road Transport Assessment (F/18/82322) to show the performance in its existing form.

Lowford Roundabout It is noted that Lowford roundabout has been modelled to include the ‘Access Road’ to the Kingfisher Grange site on Hamble Lane. Whilst permitted under the West of Hamble Lane development site, this arrangement is now temporary with an alternative access now secured via Bursledon Road. Therefore, it would be necessary for the modelling of this roundabout to remove the ‘Access Road’ arm and use similar geometry to that of the Bursledon Road transport assessment (F/18/82322).

Windhover Roundabout Windhover roundabout has been modelled using TRANSYT software. It is noted that the results show the junction to be operating above theoretical capacity. However, Windhover roundabout is due to have numerous improvements from 2020 as part of Highways England M27 improvement scheme.

3

Queue Survey Comparisons The results within table 3.8 show the observed maximum queue and modelling maximum queue lengths for the above junctions. The maximum queues from the modelling are either lower or at the lower end of the threshold of the observed maximum queues for all the above junctions except Windhover Roundabout. This confirms that the modelling has underestimated the predicted queue lengths and does not reflect the existing situation at these junctions.

The technical note recognises that the modelled queue lengths for the Tesco and Hound Road / Hamble Lane roundabouts were not representative of the observed queue lengths experienced on site. Therefore, these junctions were modelled using lane simulation on ARCADY in order to create more accurate modelling results. However, despite the lane simulation modelling, these queue lengths do not accurately reflect the situation at these junctions.

Hound Road / Hamble Lane Roundabout This roundabout was modelled using an ARCADY lane simulation assessment. In the AM peak Hamble Lane North experience a RFC of 0.93 and 10.4 queue. The PM peak shows Hamble Lane South increase the RFC to 0.86 and add 8.6 PCU’s from the queues. The impact that this development on the existing traffic network may be negligible but the addition of the development trips to an existing traffic congestion issue may be detrimental to the performance of this junction. Therefore, a contribution towards improvements at this roundabout will be required.

Tesco Roundabout The Hamble Lane North and South arms of this 3 armed roundabout each are operating above capacity in the AM (0.92 RFC) and PM (0.96 RFC) peak Baseline scenarios. The modelling, assessed using ARCADY lane simulation shows the congestion in the ‘With Development’ scenario to get increasingly worse with RFC reaching 1.20 and queues reaching 111.9 in the PM peak on Hamble Lane North. It would be necessary for a financial contribution to be required in order to mitigate the impact of this development on this roundabout.

Conclusion After review of the technical note, Hampshire County Council can confirm agreement of the trip generation, trip distribution and the approach of the junction capacity assessment.

Despite this, further clarification is need regarding the modelling of the following junctions:

- Portsmouth Road / Hamble Lane - Lowford Roundabout - Cunningham Gardens / Chamberlayne Road / Hamble Lane Signalised Junction

4

In addition to this, the Queue Length surveys need further explanation as currently the relationship between the observed and modelled maximum queue lengths is ambiguous.

I appreciate that matters have moved on in terms of access strategies for the committed development sites since our initial scoping discussions. We would be very happy to meet and discuss the above to provide further clarity if this would be useful.

Your sincerely,

Joshua Kennedy – Assistant Transport Planner, HCC

Hi Josh / Gemma

Thanks for your time on Thursday which was useful.

Following your comments relating to queue lengths, please find attached our updated note. As requested, we have compared the modelling results to the Berry farm application where appropriate and also undertaken a recalibration exercise for some of the models. You will note that the queue lengths now correlate closely with the observed data. I also attach the full model output files for your review.

We will look at whether any improvements can be made to Hamble Lane / Hound Road and report back shortly on this.

As mentioned, Eastleigh are keen to ensure highways matters are agreed in principle prior to our submission, so your prompt response would be much appreciated.

Do not hesitate to get back to me if you require anything further at this stage.

4 Response to HCC’s Comments GE Aviation – Hamble

Project No. 17088-00 25/05/2018 Client GE AVIATION Author Panos Floros Authorised Damian Tungatt

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This brief technical note has been prepared by Markides Associates (MA) to resolve outstanding items in terms of the junction capacity assessment relating to a development of 150 houses within Hamble-le-Rice, Southampton, SO31 4NF. This technical note forms a follow-up of a technical note submitted on 18/05/2018 to Hampshire County Council and of a meeting which was held between HCC and MA on 24/05/2018. 1.2 MA seek confirmation as to whether the updated modelling results for the junctions below are considered acceptable.

2. HAMBLE LANE/KING’S AVENUE 2.1 To assess the traffic impact of the proposed development on the Hamble Lane/Kings Avenue priority junction, a PICADY assessment has been undertaken. The results in Table 2.1 demonstrate that the junction operates within capacity since the RFC is below 0.85 for all scenarios.

Table 2.1: Hamblem Lane/Kings Avenue PICADY results

2.2 It should be noted that the model results presented above are derived from a model that has been calibrated to match the maximum observed queues on this junction as shown in Table 2.2.

3. CUNNINGHAM GARDENS/CHAMBERLAYNE ROAD/HAMBLE LANE 3.1 The Cunningham Gardens/Chamberlayne Road/Hamble Lane signalised junction has been modelled using LINSIG. The models previously submitted show that the junction will operate within capacity under both the baseline and development scenarios. For validation purposes, the queue lengths for this junction have been compared to the queue lengths extracted from the Berry Farm model for the same junction. A comparison of the results presented in Table 3.1 demonstrates that the two models show very similar queue lengths. Therefore, it is considered that the model constructed for this junction is acceptable. It should be noted that it was not possible to validate the model against the “with development” scenario within the Berry Farm application since growth factors have been applied for 2013 to 2022 (1.1172 in the AM Peak and 1.1261 in the PM peak).

4. PORTSMOUTH ROAD/HAMBLE LANE ROUNDABOUT 4.1 To assess the traffic impact of the proposed development on the Portsmouth Road/Hamble Lane priority junction, a PICADY assessment has been undertaken. The results in Table 4.1 show that the junction operates above capacity in both the baseline and the with development scenario.

8. CONCLUSION MA have prepared a technical note following a meeting between MA and HCC on 24/05/2018. The technical note presented the updated modelling results following a thorough calibration exercise undertaken by MA. The model results show that the development will have a minor impact on the junctions which have been considered. Appropriate contribution figures will be agreed between MA and HCC for the junctions included in the section between the Windhover Roundabout and the Hamble Lane/Portsmouth Road junction. In addition, mitigation measures will be considered for the Hound Road/Hamble Lane Roundabout.

This letter is in response to the technical note prepared by Markides Associates in regards to the GE Aviation traffic modelling.

Hamble Lane / Kings Avenue The modelling shows that this junction will operate within capacity and there are no concerns regarding its operation post development. It is understood that alignment alterations on Kings Avenue and improvements at Coronation Parade will help to improve the arrangement of this junction for all road users. These off-site highway works are requested to be secured within the S106 agreement.

Hound Road / Hamble Lane roundabout The technical note suggesting the impact the development will have on this junction as being minor; this is not agreed with by the highway authority. The results in table 6.1 show that the operation of Hamble Lane at this junction is highly sensitive. Whilst only a 0.01 RFC increase on the Hamble Lane (south) arm during the PM peak, the modelling suggests queue lengths will increase by 43 vehicles. Due to the impact the development is expected to have on the operation of this roundabout, mitigation will be required at this location. This junction is currently identified within the Hamble Lane corridor study as requiring improvement although a preferred option is yet to be identified in the absence of development related funding. Therefore, the applicant will need to derive an improvement scheme for review and approval by the Highway Authority.

Cunningham Gardens / Chamberlayne Road / Hamble Lane The baseline flows for this junction have been compared to Berry Farm (application F/17/79863) and are considered reasonable. Based on the updated modelling results, the junction is shown to operate within capacity. This junction is a part of the Hamble Lane Corridor improvement scheme, so therefore a contribution towards this scheme may result in improvements being implemented at this junction.

Portsmouth Road / Hamble Lane Junction Previously this junction was modelled as a roundabout. In the most recent technical note it is still referred to as a roundabout, which is incorrect and will need to be changed in a submitted transport assessment supporting this application.

All arms of this junction are expected to be operating above capacity in the peak periods. The updated modelling shows that the RFC values will significantly increase on the Portsmouth Road arm and the Hamble Lane arm will further operate above capacity. This junction has been assessed as part of the County Council Hamble Lane corridor study and a contribution towards the County Council’s preferred improvement scheme will be required in order to off-set the development related impact.

Lowford Roundabout The model for this junction has been calibrated for the AM and PM peak periods to more accurately reflect the observed queue lengths that occur at this roundabout. The development is modelled to have a significant impact on the junction, and queues along Jurd Way and Hamble Lane (south) are particularly lengthy in the AM peak. As above, this junction forms part of the County Council’s Hamble Lane corridor study and a financial contribution towards an improvement scheme at this location will be required.

Tesco Roundabout This roundabout has been modelled using lane simulation in ARCADY and the model has been updated so the results are more reflective of the average recorded queue lengths in the AM and the PM peak periods. The results show that the roundabout is above efficient operating capacity and therefore requires mitigation to relieve the impact of development traffic at this junction. As above, this junction is considered within the Hamble Lane corridor study and a contribution towards an improvement scheme will be sought.

Mitigation As stated above, the County Council have undertaken study work to consider improvements to Hamble Lane corridor, which includes key junctions between Windhover roundabout and Portsmouth Road. It is anticipated that the County Council will undertaken public consultation on the preferred improvement scheme during the summer of 2018. It is therefore considered reasonable that a contribution is secured towards the corridor improvement scheme, inclusive of the junctions upon which the development is demonstrated to impact. A contribution requirement of £525,000 has been identified which has been calculated on the basis of the value of mitigation packages secured in line with the residential developments on Hamble Lane.

In addition to this, a highway improvement scheme is required to mitigate the development related impact at the Hound Road / Hamble Lane roundabout. Whilst this junction is identified as requiring improvement within the Hamble Lane corridor improvement study, an improvement scheme has not been identified at this stage as this will be considered in the next phase of works. It is therefore considered necessary for the applicant to design an improvement scheme which effectively addresses the development related impact at this location. It will subsequently be determined by the Highway Authority whether these works are delivered via a Section 278 Agreement or an equivalent financial contribution is secured.

Finally, the off-site highway works at Kings Avenue / Hamble Lane will also be required, and it will be necessary for the developer to enter into a S278 agreement for these works.

The above obligations will be secured by way of Section 106. This approach is considered CIL compliant in that the required obligations are;

(a) Necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms; (b) Directly related to the development; and (c) Fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development.

Whilst the above addresses the points raised in the recently submitted technical note, the Highway Authority are yet to consider the application in respect of sustainable travel and this will need to be reviewed in line with a transport assessment / travel plan submitted in support of a future planning application.

I trust this is acceptable. Should you wish to discuss further please do not hesitate to contact Joshua Kennedy on (01962) 813863.

Yours sincerely

Joshua Kennedy Assistant Transport Planner

Hi Josh / Gemma

Thanks for your time on Thursday which was useful.

Following your comments relating to queue lengths, please find attached our updated note. As requested, we have compared the modelling results to the Berry farm application where appropriate and also undertaken a recalibration exercise for some of the models. You will note that the queue lengths now correlate closely with the observed data. I also attach the full model output files for your review.

We will look at whether any improvements can be made to Hamble Lane / Hound Road and report back shortly on this.

As mentioned, Eastleigh are keen to ensure highways matters are agreed in principle prior to our submission, so your prompt response would be much appreciated.

Do not hesitate to get back to me if you require anything further at this stage.

Kind regards

5 Technical Note – Hound Road/Hamble Lane Roundabout Mitigation GE Aviation

Project No. 17055-00 28 June 2018 Client GE AVIATION Author Panos Floros Authorised Damian Tungatt

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This brief technical note has been prepared by Markides Associates (MA) in relation to a development of 170 houses within Hamble-le-Rice, Southampton, SO31 4NF. This technical note forms a follow-up of a technical note submitted on 25/05/2018 to Hampshire County Council (HCC) and a response to the comments received by HCC on 11/06/2018. 1.2 MA seek confirmation as to whether the updated modelling results and proposed design mitigation below are considered acceptable.

2. HOUND ROAD/HAMBLE LANE ROUNDABOUT – REQUIREMENT FOR MITIGATION 2.1 To assess the traffic impact of the proposed development on the Hound Road/Hamble Lane, an ARCADY assessment has previously been undertaken as part of the technical note submitted on 25/05/2018. The model showed that the development will have an impact on the roundabout which performed over capacity under both the baseline and the development scenarios. 2.2 In their response, HCC suggested that the junction is currently identified within the Hamble Lane corridor study as requiring improvement, albeit any enhancements would be considered in later phases of their corridor study.

3. MITIGATION OPTIONS 3.1 MA worked to identify mitigation measures by changing the geometries of the roundabout. During the exercise, it was concluded that that there is not enough land falling with the highway boundary to accommodate the required geometry changes and retain the existing roundabout form of the junction. 3.2 Therefore, it was concluded that the preferred option would be to transform the junction into a signalised junction layout. Signalised junction options were tested using LINSIG and the preferred arrangement is shown in Drawing 17055-00132. The proposed layout complies with DMRB standards and can accommodate manoeuvres of a 16.5m articulated vehicle as demonstrated in Drawing 17055-00-133.

3.3 The results in Table 3.1 show that the new junction shows Degree of Saturation of less than 90% in both the AM and the PM peaks, therefore the signalised junction will operate within capacity under both the baseline and the development scenarios. Full output of the LINSIG model is attached as Appendix A.

Table 3.1: Hound Road/Hamble Lane Signalised Junction Results (Mitigation)

Arm AM Peak PM Peak Baseline With Baseline With Development Development DoS (%) Queue DoS (%) Queue DoS (%) Queue DoS (%) Queue Hamble Lane 75.3 14.2 76.0 16.3 49.8 4.3 57.9 7.1 – ahead and right Hamble Lane 60.5 8.9 66.8 12.0 71.2 8.4 75.2 13.5 – left and ahead Hound Road – 75.1 10.7 76.9 12.7 72.4 4.7 72.0 6.7 left and right

4. PEDESTRIAN OPTIONS 4.1 Given the sensitivity of the network and the limited number of pedestrian movements through this junction, it was considered that incorporating pedestrian crossings in the junction arrangement would be unnecessary. Hamble Lane (north) only has a footway on the western side of the carriageway which provides a direct connection to Hamble Lane (south) without the need to cross at the junction. Similarly, pedestrian movements from Hound Road into Hamble Lane can be undertaken prior to arrival at the junction. 4.2 It is therefore proposed that pedestrian refuse islands are located remote from the junction to facilitate pedestrian crossing without reducing junction capacity. The proposed pedestrian crossings are shown in Drawing 17055-00-132.

5. CONCLUSIONS 5.1 Following recent correspondence between MA and HCC regarding the capacity analysis of the Hound Road/Hamble Lane Roundabout, MA have undertaken a study to provide appropriate mitigation measures for the junction. 5.2 It has been concluded that the current layout should be turned into a signalised junction arrangement as shown in Drawing 17055-00-132. Modelling the proposed signalised junction in LINSIG showed the proposed signalised junction would operate within capacity under both the baseline and the development scenarios. 5.3 Therefore, it is considered that the proposed mitigation would solve an existing problem at the Hound Road/Hamble Lane Roundabout. 5.4 MA seek confirmation as to whether the proposed mitigation is considered acceptable.
