Report Number: 030130/CAB148 Date: 30 January 2003 87 Report Number: 030130/CAB148 Date: 30 January 2003 TUNBRIDGE WELLS BOROUGH COUNCIL REQUEST FOR DECISION BY CABINET *Part 1 Report Non-Exempt Title and Executive Summary: *RESPONSE TO THE HIGHWAYS AGENCY ON THE PROPOSED DUALLING OF THE A21 BETWEEN TONBRIDGE AND PEMBURY The Borough Council are being consulted by the Highways Agency on proposals to dual the section of the A21 between Tonbridge and Pembury. The proposals are outlined, the impact on the Borough is discussed and Members’ views are sought on the proposed response, with key points in bold within the report. The deadline for submission of comments was 20 December 2002 and so a holding letter and brief Appendix summary of the key points has been approved and submitted by the Planning and Transportation Portfolio Holder and Director of Operational Services, on the understanding that it may be reviewed following Cabinet consideration and decision. In principle support is expressed for the proposals, but an officer meeting is requested to discuss design and modelling options. WARD: All HEAD OF STRATEGY AND DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO: Planning and Contact Officer: Michael Thornton Extension: 2062 Transportation RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) That the Borough Council supports the earliest construction of the improved Tonbridge – Pembury bypass link. The progress of the proposals should not be delayed by consideration of other sections of the route south of Kippings Cross; 2) That the provision of a grade separated junction at Longfield Road is welcomed in terms of the capacity created; 3) That information is required to enable proper consideration of the options set out in the main report; 4) That the principles for minimal impact on the landscape, the natural environment, heritage, and the concerns of environmental protection, as outlined in the main report, should be applied; 5) That the provision of a parallel route for non-car users, integrated with the local access network and grade separated crossings of the A21 would be a highly desirable aspect any scheme; and 6) The Borough Council requests detailed discussion on the comments expressed in the main report at the earliest opportunity, and the opportunity of continuing dialogue with the appointed contractor team. Reason: To present the interests and concerns of the Borough Council on the proposals. (Items marked * will be the subject of recommendations by Cabinet to full Council; in the case of other items, Cabinet may make the decision, subject to call-in (Overview and Scrutiny Procedure Rule 15)) 88 Item No. 8 TUNBRIDGE WELLS BOROUGH COUNCIL CABINET – 30 JANUARY 2003 REPORT OF HEAD OF STRATEGY AND DEVELOPMENT *RESPONSE TO THE HIGHWAYS AGENCY ON THE PROPOSED DUALLING OF THE A21 BETWEEN TONBRIDGE AND PEMBURY Executive Summary This report (0301301/CAB148) addresses the latest proposals of the Highways Agency to dual the section of the A21 between Tonbridge and Pembury. The Borough Council has been consulted on the proposals, which are outlined in the report and the impact on the Borough is discussed. Members’ views are sought on the proposed response, with the key points of response in bold text. The deadline for submission of comments was 20 December 2002 and so a holding response, in the form of a letter and brief Appendix, have been approved by the Planning and Transportation Portfolio Holder and Director of Operational Services, on the understanding that this may be reviewed following Cabinet consideration and decision. In principle support is expressed for the proposals, but an officer meeting is requested to discuss design and modelling options. FOR DECISION Introduction (1) The Borough Council has been consulted by the Highways Agency on its current proposals for improving the A21 between Tonbridge and Pembury. A single detailed alignment option was presented in late November with comments required by 20 December 2002. In view of the limited time-scale, an initial response was prepared by officers, approved by the Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Planning and Transportation and submitted. The response is presented here for confirmation. (A similar consultation is also being undertaken for the A21 south of Kippings Cross, with a later deadline for response). (2) The Highways Agency will be presenting a report to Government in spring 2003 that reflects the results of public consultation and other ongoing assessment. If approved in its present form, the scheme would be accepted into the Department for Transport’s “Targeted Programme of Improvements” (TPI) for implementation. (3) If so approved, a contractor would be appointed at an early stage to assist in further development of the scheme design and construction methods. An Environmental Statement (addressing the design and construction method) and draft Orders under the Highways Act would then be published and open to objection and potentially a Public Inquiry. Construction could start in 2005/06, after the Lamberhurst Bypass but prior to further improvements south of Kippings Cross. Background to the proposal and the restricted nature of the current consultation (4) The proposals for this section of the A21 have a complicated history which is outlined in Appendix 1 of this report for clarity. (5) The Access to Hastings Study tested two options for an off-line dual carriageway and on-line road widening to provide a “crawler lane “ ascending Castle Hill. However, the Study concluded with a firm recommendation that a third, untested, option be pursued: that being an on-line dual carriageway with an at-grade enlarged roundabout at Longfield Road and with design speeds of 50mph – enabling the existing alignment to be closely followed and restricted movements for access for local properties to be maintained onto the new road. (6) The Study concluded: “The alignment will be (my emphasis) chosen to have as little impact as possible on the surrounding ancient and semi-ancient woodlands and the RSPB Reserve, but some land will be required from both. Without knowing the vertical alignment it is difficult to say how much land take is required…” but that it is likely to be ”…less than the published proposal.” (Para 8.40). 89 Report of Head of Strategy and Development (continued) (7) Only if the Highways Agency consider that they cannot make the route option work might alternatives be considered. (8) To progress this the Highways Agency commenced feasibility studies into establishing an on-line 2-lane dual carriageway scheme. None of the evaluation conducted into route alternatives has been made available and only a single route option published for public consultation. Little detailed information is available with which to properly assess the impact of the proposal or to compare it with the off-line alternatives. (9) The proposals place great reliance on the Access to Hastings Study as a mandate of public consultation support and technical endorsement yet the current proposal has been significantly varied from the parameters set by the Study in that: • rather than at-grade roundabouts at each end, the scheme provides an enlarged southbound slip lane at Tonbridge and grade-separated junction at Longfield Road, in order to provide adequate capacity; • because through-flows on the A21 over the Longfield Road junction will be unimpeded and 70mph speed limit sections of road are at either end of this stretch, and with an overall objective for a “step- change” reduction in journey times to Hastings, the new stretch is designed for 70mph flows; and • consequently, even with restricted movements only, direct access to the dual carriageway by adjacent properties is very strictly limited to occasional uses only. Therefore, segregated local access arrangements have been created for other properties. This includes an underpass to enable bridleways and other public rights of way to traverse the road safely, as detailed below. (10) Despite the findings of the Access to Hastings Study, public consultation has not been conducted on the various options available for a broadly on-line alignment and local access arrangements. Nor has material been published to demonstrate how environmental impact has been minimised or how the options compare. The form of the response to the consultation (11) With the limited information available, the Borough Council is being forced into a position of responding to the consultation by either accepting this proposed route (with inadequate justification and comparison), or to reject it in the hope that the Highways Agency might present an alternative proposal in time. This does not assist constructive dialogue. (12) The report sets out the principles that should be applied in the further reworking of the design of the road improvements with the Highways Agency and contractor, with a selection of additional specific comments on some points of detail. Key observations are in bold text. (13) The overall established position of the Borough Council is that improvement of this link and the capacity of relevant junctions is urgently required, and that this should be achieved with the minimum of disruption to landscape, environment, heritage and property. The Borough Council has made various representations to this end in the past, see Appendix 1: History. (14) The Borough Council implores the early construction of an improved Tonbridge – Pembury bypass link, whilst seeking assurances concerning the published scheme as further detailed design work progresses. The proposed scheme briefly described (15) The scheme before the Borough Council is an on-line dual 2-lane carriageway with grade separated junctions to either end of the link. Grade separation is achieved at Tonbridge through amendments to the southbound access slip at the Vauxhall junction. The Longfield Road junction currently being constructed, as part of the former Seeboard site development, is to be replaced by a dumb-bell junction arrangement with the A21 passing over the top of the route between Tonbridge Road and Longfield Road. Each dumb-bell roundabout is approximately the size of the roundabout currently under construction.

Some global and national organisations have recognised the size of this problem and introduced the “safe system approach ” approach as a successful guide for road safety management. The concept of this approach considers road safety as a system compiled of the elements of road infrastructure, mobility, and vehicles; which all should be designed to accommodate the vulnerability of the road users. This corrected the traditional view which considered road-user behaviour as the main contributing factor to the road safety problem. The question raised in this research is to what extent the safe system approach contributes to the national road safety strategic plans? To answer this question, an assessment of road safety performance is needed.

    Transport and Works Act 1992 (TWA) Transport and Works (Inquiries Procedure) Rules 2004 Application for the Rother Valley Railway (Bodiam to Robertsbridge Junction) Order Public Local Inquiry - Department for Transport Reference: TWA/18/APP/02/OBJ/1002 Statement of Case Sally-Ann Hart, Perryfield House, Udimore, Rye, East Sussex, TN31 6AY, District Councillor for Eastern Rother Ward, Rother District Council and Portfolio holder for Tourism, Culture and Public Realm. Summary Position • Negative economic impact on the wider population • Inadequate economic bases for the Application • Abuse of Transport and Works Act 1992 legislation • Investment required on the A21 to improve the road to encourage tourism and other economic growth - not add further impediments by way of a level crossing • Growth in tourism is vital in our deprived coastal, rural communities - not just about the commercial position of Kent & East Sussex Railway • Additional pressure on Robertsbridge due to existing parking issues • Safety of level crossings - the creation of new level crossings on the national network is banned unless unavoidable • Highways England objects for reasons including safety and economic grounds 1. Rother Valley Railway (the Applicant) has submitted various documentation in its application for the above Order, none of which comprises, nor addresses, adequate economic bases for the Application. RVR’s Application focusses on what it perceives as the environmental argument in favour of a new stretch of railway through an area of High Weald AONB. 2. The Applicant commissioned a Local Economic Impact Study from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2007, with an update in October 2013. These reports provide an assessment of the socio- economic impacts of the re-construction of the railway (the Scheme) based on, for example, economic modelling, desk research and field work.

  • A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report
    A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report May 2016 Prepared for: A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report @ Mouchel Consulting 2015 A21 Route Treatment Project Feasibility Study Report Executive Summary Highways England has commissioned Mouchel Consulting to undertake a feasibility study of additional effective safety, accessibility and sustainability improvements that will work with, and complement, the installation of Average Speed Enforcement Cameras (ASEC), between Scotney Castle roundabout (south of Lamberhurst), and Hastings (Baldslow) on the A21. The A21 is an all-purpose trunk road serving as the main access route to Hastings from London and the North. The route forms a north-south link between the M25 at Junction 5 near Sevenoaks in West Kent and the Hastings Borough boundary on the south coast in East Sussex. The northern section of the route between the M25 and Lamberhurst is mostly dual carriageway. This study concentrates on the A21 south of the Lamberhurst bypass, from Scotney Castle roundabout to Baldslow. This 26km section of the route is a predominantly rural single carriageway which is considered to be of poor quality. It serves a number of villages and settlements in addition to forming part of the strategic road network. The main settlements on the route have a high degree of direct frontage access and there are also agricultural accesses throughout. Conflict between strategic through traffic and local trips, combined with the below- standard highway alignment, results in collision rates which are above the national average for severity ratio. As the route is single carriageway, recovery time from incidents is slow and this impacts on journey time reliability.

  • Minutes of Highways 15 December 2020
    Goudhurst Parish Council HIGHWAYS COMMITTEE Minutes of a Virtual Meeting held on 15 December 2020 via Zoom Present: Cllrs David Boniface (Chairman), Craig Broom, Alan Foster, Antony Harris and Guy Sutton. Ted Bennett, Helen Sampson and Colin Wilson as advisors. Two members of the public. 1. Apologies were accepted from Cllr Peter Wood. 2. Declarations of Interest: None. 3. Questions from the public and press: There were none. 4. Update on A21 traffic. It was noted that a letter had been received by Ted Bennett from Baroness Vere of Norbiton, Minister for Roads, Buses and Places. She had written to the Members of Parliament for the A21 between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings to let them know that work to improve the safety, to add cycle lanes, and make various improvements that had been planned to run after 2025 will now aim to be completed by 2025 following negotiations which she had had with the Government and Highways England. Mr Bennett was not sure that her reference to Scotney Castle would include the section of the A21 road we are concerned about. It has been suggested to him by Peter Philips of Highways England that our section between the Scotney Castle roundabout and the T & J Motel would not be included. Greg Clerk wrote that the next step would be to convene a meeting to establish precisely what is proposed and to ensure that the measures proposed are satisfactory. We have to assume that this meeting will be after the COVID pandemic. After some discussion it was agreed that GPC would write to Greg Clark to confirm that we are looking forward to the meeting and that we would be intending to take part in discussions about the problems of speeding traffic and other dangers of the section of road through Goudhurst Parish near Bewl Water.
