The Neighbourhood Planning Group in Gilmorton commissioned ADC Infrastructure to provide transport advice in support of their Neighbourhood Plan. This report examines five recent residential development proposals that have been submitted to the local planning authority, Harborough District Council, to understand how they affect the existing conditions in the village, to inform a baseline for the Neighbourhood Plan. 2. The development sites are shown in Figure 1. • Site 1 - 42 dwellings (Planning reference 17/00701/OUT) • Site 2 - 43 dwellings (Planning reference 17/00885/OUT) • Site 3 - 27 dwellings (Planning reference 16/00115/OUT) • Site 4 - 16 dwellings in total (Planning reference 16/00145/OUT, 17/01394/FUL, 17/00741/OUT) • Site 5 – 42 dwellings (Planning reference 17/01256/OUT) Figure 1: Aerial view of the Gilmorton sites 3. The NPPF1:says that “All developments that generate significant amounts of movement should be supported by a Transport Statement or Transport Assessment. Plans and decision 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 suitable access to the site can be achieved for all people, and • improvements can be undertaken within the transport network that cost effectively limit the significant impacts of the development. Development should only be prevented or refused on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe.” 4. Each development site has therefore been reviewed against these three key criteria of access, accessibility, and traffic impact. 5. A site visit was undertaken on the 4 July 2017 between 1pm and 4pm. This included a review of the whole village as well as the conditions at school pick up at 3.30pm. 1 Paragraph 32, National Planning Policy Framework, Department for Communities and Local Government, March 2012 2 GILMORTON, LEICESTERSHIRE TRANSPORT CRITIQUE OF PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS ADC1660 A V3 BACKGROUND CONTEXT 6. Gilmorton is a village in the Harborough District in Leicestershire. It is located 5 kilometres northeast of Lutterworth and 16 kilometres south of Leicester. Facilities 7. There are several facilities within the village. These include the Gilmorton Chandler Church of England Primary School, village shop and Post Office, village hall, three pubs, Gilmorton playing fields, and Gilmorton recreation ground (Figure 2). Figure 2: local facilities Traffic flows 8. The Transport Statement for Site 1 undertook traffic surveys in November 2016 to determine the level of existing traffic which passed the site on Lutterworth Road. The results of this are shown in the table below. 2016 Existing Traffic Flows Northbound Southbound Two-Way Average 5 day Flow 1384 1369 2753 Average AM Peak Hr 117 167 284 Average PM Peak Hr 161 113 274 9. The results show that the existing traffic volumes on Lutterworth Road are relatively low, even within the peak hours. During an average peak hour there is a flow of approximately 5 vehicles each minute. Accident record 10. The Crashmap database shows there have been five personal injury accidents within the village of Gilmorton in the five-year period between 2012 and 2016 (Figure 3): • one fatal accident on Lutterworth Road near to Site 1 • one serious accident on Mill Lane, north of Site 3 • three slight accidents along Main Street: 3 GILMORTON, LEICESTERSHIRE TRANSPORT CRITIQUE OF PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS ADC1660 A V3 • one slight accident adjacent to the Main Street/Ullesthorpe Road junction • one slight accident at Main Street adjacent to the junction with Church Drive • one slight accident adjacent to Kimcote Road/Mill Lane junction in the vicinity of Sites 2 and 3. 11. The fatal accident occurred during frosty/icy conditions when a car was stationary in the carriageway. A car driven by an elderly gentleman lost control and collided with a car travelling in the opposite direction. Therefore, the main contributing factor to the accident appears to be adverse weather. 12. The serious accident occurred during the morning peak hour, in dry weather conditions, when the vehicle was traveling northeast; only one vehicle was involved. 13. Although these accidents are unfortunate, none of them have occurred in the same location, and therefore they do not reveal a trend in collision data within the village. Figure 3: Crashmap showing accident locations in Gilmorton (yellow flag=slight, red=serious, black=fatal) Traffic distribution 14. The Transport Assessment for Site 2 determined the pattern of traffic movements that would result from new development in the village. This was based on 2011 Census Journey To Work data for the existing Gilmorton residents. The pattern is shown in Figure 4 and shows that: • the majority of traffic (69%) would travel south via Lutterworth Road • 12% via Ullesthorpe Road 4 GILMORTON, LEICESTERSHIRE TRANSPORT CRITIQUE OF PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS ADC1660 A V3 • 7% via Ashby Road • 6% via Mill Lane • and 6% via Gilmorton Road. • This means that 19% would travel along Main Street, passing the village store and primary school. Figure 4: Traffic Distribution 15. This pattern was derived on the assumption that the strategic road network, including the M1, A4303, A426 and A4304, would be accessed via Lutterworth Road. It also assumes that Leicester, one of the major employment destinations from the village, would be reached via Lutterworth Road. Google Maps suggests that drivers could use Lutterworth Road to access the M1 and travel towards Leicester, but they could also route via Ashby Road past the primary school as it is a shorter distance and both routes have similar travel times. This suggests that the 7% of traffic assigned to travel past the school may be underestimated. However, for consistency throughout this report, the above figures have been used for all five development sites when reviewing their traffic impacts. Conditions around the primary school 16. During the site visit the traffic situation around the primary school at pick up time was observed. The school’s car park is used by staff only. Parents park along the carriageway, and on the footways in an attempt to leave more space for other vehicles. This caused pinch points along Main Street and Ashby Road. During the site visit, the traffic became stationary with vehicles trying to pass in both directions when the Beaver bus (which serves the local secondary school in Lutterworth) attempted to travel along Main Street and north along Ashby Road (Figure 5). 17. The Neighbourhood Planning Group have also pointed out that Main Street heading towards Kimcote is increasing being used as a ‘rat run’ during the weekday morning peak hour for vehicles trying to avoid congestion in Lutterworth. With the increase in traffic due to the new proposed developments this would cause there to be increased congestion 5 GILMORTON, LEICESTERSHIRE TRANSPORT CRITIQUE OF PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS ADC1660 A V3 Figure 5: conditions near the school at pick up time Car Auction Bruntingthorpe 18. There is a large car auction/sales site north of the village in Bruntingthorpe, which has regular events each month. It is visited by people buying and selling vehicles. The Neighbourhood Planning Group has advised that this can cause traffic to travel through the village along Lutterworth Road and Mill Lane to go to and from the auction site from the south via the M1 Junction 20. A review of their website suggests the auctions typically take place at 10am or 11am, therefore the majority of trips are likely to occur throughout the day with few trips during the morning and evening peak hours. 6 GILMORTON, LEICESTERSHIRE TRANSPORT CRITIQUE OF PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS ADC1660 A V3 SITE 1 – UP TO 42 DWELLINGS (17/00701/OUT) – REFUSED Access 19. The proposed development would be accessed via a new priority T-junction on the western side of Lutterworth Road, as shown in Drawing 216046-SK02 Rev A in Appendix A. 20. The junction appears to be designed in accordance with the 6Cs Design Guide, with a minimum carriageway width of 4.8 metres, 6 metre kerb radii and 2 metres wide footways on both sides of the access junction. Visibility splays of 2.4 x 120 metres can be achieved in both directions from the proposed site access. 21. The local highway authority has requested that a 2 metres wide kerbed footway adjacent to the carriageway on Lutterworth Road be provided and extended from the new access junction northeast to connect with the existing footway. 22. The proposed access junction is outside the current 30mph speed limit. The local highway authority has therefore requested that the 30mph speed limit be extended to include the proposed site access and a minimum of 90 metres southwest of the new access on Lutterworth Road. A gateway feature has also been requested. Accessibility 23. The site is located at the southern edge of the village. From a review of the illustrative masterplan, there appears to be proposed an additional pedestrian link at the northeast corner of the site. It is unclear from the plans if this can be achieved, as it appears there could be third party land issues connecting this new pedestrian link to the existing pedestrian facilities at Lynton Close. If this wasn’t achievable, it would restrict the accessibility of the site from the local amenities in the village centre.

  • Gilmorton Settlement Profile Introduction
    Gilmorton Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Gilmorton village lies 3 miles north-east of Lutterworth. Leicester is 10 miles north, whilst Market Harborough is 15 miles to the east of the parish. Gilmorton is bordered by Ashby Magna and Peatling Parva to the north, Kimcote and Walton to the east, Misterton with Walcote to the south, with Lutterworth, Bitteswell and Ashby Parva to the west The north-east of the parish is occupied by Bruntingthorpe airfield, a now defunct RAF base that is home to an Aircraft museum and is now used for both aviation and non-aviation purposes. The village is broadly linear in form, running for over 1km north-south along Main Street. It is situated in a gently undulating landscape and is of Saxon origin. The parish lies on a watershed with streams rising to the north flowing into the North Sea via the Humber whilst those to the south flow in southwards to the Bristol Channel. Gilmorton always has been, and to some extent still is an agricultural village, but the relative decline of this industry has led to the area increasingly becoming a commuter village. The village has seen a long, steady decline in its public transport provision over the years, leaving only a twice-daily taxi-bus service to Lutterworth in the present day. A similar decline has occurred with the provision of shops/services in the village, but fortunately for many residents Gilmorton has managed to retain its village store, heralded as one of the best in Leicestershire. The village is identified as a Selected Rural Village in the Core Strategy for the District and as such, is outlined as a settlement that would potentially benefit from the support of limited development such as rural housing.
