1. Introduction 1.1. Overview Atkins has been commissioned by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (C&V UHB) to prepare a Transport Statement (TS) to support the full planning application for the proposed Major Trauma Vascular Hybrid Theatres (MTVH), at University Hospital of Wales (UHW), Cardiff. The UHW is located in the Heath area of north Cardiff (as illustrated in Figure 1-1). The TS has been prepared in line with the requirements of ‘Technical Advice Note (TAN) 181’ and Cardiff Council’s ‘Managing Transportation Impacts’ Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) (July 2018)2.

Figure 1-1 Location of UHW 1.2. Project Background The proposed development comprises of an extension to the existing main hospital building where two specialist operating theatres will be housed for use by the Major Trauma Unit and Vascular Services (the term ‘major trauma’ refers to life threatening or potentially life changing injury). The Major Trauma Unit at UHW is currently provided by some 18 separate existing services (such as cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, and vascular surgery etc.). The effective operation of the unit requires two new specialist theatres (which are not currently provided at UHW).

2. Planning Policy Context 2.1. Introduction This section of the report reviews the transportation policy documents which are relevant to the proposed development at a national, regional and local level. The following documents have been included as part of the review:  National Policy: o Planning Policy Wales – Edition 10; o TAN: 18 Transport; o Wales Transport Strategy; o National Transport Finance Plan 2018 Update; o Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013; and o Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.  Regional Policy: o Cardiff Capital Region.  Local Policy: o Cardiff Local Transport Plan; o Cardiff’s Transport White Paper; o Cardiff Local Development Plan (2006-2026); and o Managing Transportation Impacts (Incorporating Parking Standards) Supplementary Planning Guidance (2018). 2.2. National Policy

2.2.1. Planning Policy Wales (Edition 10, December 2018)3 Planning Policy Wales (PPW) sets out the land use planning policies of the Welsh Government (WG). It outlines how the WG’s commitments to sustainable development can be integrated into the planning system. The document is supplemented by topic based Technical Advice Notes (TANs), with TAN 18: Transport of particular note. Edition 10 of PPW is a completely revised version that specifically considers the vision of Wales in which the WG seeks to obtain according to the Well-being of Future Generations Act. This act sets out the following seven key overall objectives that will improve the well-being of people in Wales: a more prosperous Wales, a resilient Wales, a healthier Wales, a more equal Wales, a Wales of more cohesive communities, a Wales of vibrant culture and a globally responsible Wales. The revised document references the aim to extend the choice in transport and secure accessibility in a way which supports sustainable development and helps to tackle the causes of climate change and improve well- being. This is achievable through promoting the use of more sustainable (public transport) and healthy forms of travel (cycling and walking), of which Travel Planning can assist. Figure 8 (as replicated in Figure 2-1) of PPW provides a sustainable transport hierarchy for consideration within the planning system, which identifies active modes as the most important mode of travel.

2.2.2. TAN: 18 Transport4 TAN 18: Transport explains how an efficient and sustainable transport system is required for a modern, prosperous and inclusive society. The WG has a statutory duty towards sustainable development. TAN 18 describes how the WG intends to integrate land use and transport planning in order to achieve their outcomes with regard to climate change. The integration of land use planning can help achieve positive sustainable development outcomes by ensuring new development is located where it is accessible by public transport, walking and cycling. Section 6 of TAN 18 explains that it is imperative that local councils take walking and cycling into consideration when assessing planning applications. Chapter 3 of this TS provides an assessment of the availability of walking and cycling facilities in the vicinity of the proposed development. Annex D of the policy document refers to the use of Transport Assessments (TA), they are required to clearly set out what the impact of a proposed development is likely to be so that they are easily understood.

2.2.3. Wales Transport Strategy (2008)5 The Wales Transport Strategy (WTS) was published in 2008 with the main aim of improving transport in order to keep Wales connected, improve the economy, and safeguard the environment. The WTS is implemented through policies and programmes. The WTS sets out how the WG intend to achieve their social, economic and environmental outcomes. It also sets out the five key areas, where substantial progress is required:  Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts;  Improving public transport and better integration between modes;  Improving links and access between key settlements and sites across Wales and strategically important all-Wales links;  Enhancing international connectivity; and  Increasing safety and security.

2.2.4. National Transport Finance Plan 2018 Update6 Although not a policy document, the National Transport Finance Plan (NTFP) superseded The National Plan. It is the WTS that sets out the policy framework, with the NTFP listing the schemes that the WG will deliver across the different areas of transport for which it is responsible for. The purpose of the plan is to:  Provide the timescale for financing the schemes undertaken by WG;  Provide the timescale for delivering these schemes;  Detail the estimated expenditure required to deliver the schemes; and  Identify the likely source of financing to allow delivery to take place.

Proposed schemes which are incorporated into NTFP, specifically in the Cardiff area include:  Roads – Road schemes to be developed o Studies to identify options for improving connectivity in South East of Cardiff – Cardiff Council (CC) has been awarded grant funding to carry out WelTAG Stages 1 and 2.  Active Travel – Implementing the Active Travel (Wales) Act o Cardiff and Vale Coastal Sustainable – Funding allocated from the Local Transport Fund to progress with development work; and  Integrated Transport and Metro o Delivery of Metro Phase 1 (Cardiff to Merthyr Tydfil), Phase 2 (Cardiff & Valleys Lines) and future phases (City Centre, City Line and Penarth Line improvements and Bay Line extension).

2.2.5. Active Travel (Wales) Act 20137 In September 2014, the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 was introduced by WG making it a legal requirement for Local Authorities to map and plan suitable routes for Active Travel.

Existing Route Maps (ERMs) The first stage of the Act required CC to produce Existing Routes Maps (ERMs) which CC considered suitable for Active Travel (and which meet WG set criteria for Active Travel). The Act requires that ERMs are reviewed and updated on a three-year basis to ensure they remain current and include routes that have been recently completed or improved. There are no ERMs for walking and cycling highlighted within the vicinity of the proposed development.

Integrated Network Maps (INMs) The second stage of the Act required CC to produce Integrated Network Maps (INMs) setting out CC’s 15-year vision to improve cycling and walking routes across the city. Following public consultation undertaken in Spring 2017, the INMs was revised and approved by WG in February 2018. CC’s Active Travel INMs located in the vicinity of the proposed development for walking is shown in Figure 2-2 (and Appendix A).

2.2.6. Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 20158 The Well-being of Future Generations (WBFG) Act requires public bodies in Wales to think about the long-term impact of their decisions, to work better with people, communities and each other, and to prevent persistent problems such as health inequalities, climate change and poverty. The Planning Act (Wales) 2015 introduced the statutory purpose of the planning system in Wales by stating that a Local Planning Authority (LPA) must exercise its function in relation to the determination of planning applications ‘...as part of carrying out sustainable development in accordance with the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, for the purpose of ensuring that the development and use of land contribute to improving the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales’. The Act puts in place seven well-being goals: 1. A prosperous Wales; 2. A resilient Wales; 3. A healthier Wales; 4. A more equal Wales; 5. A Wales of cohesive communities; 6. A Wales of vibrant culture and a thriving welsh language; and 7. A globally responsible Wales.

The Well-Being of Future Generations Act (Wales) provides a definition of sustainable development as ‘the process of improving the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales by taking action, in accordance with the sustainable development principle’ (WBFG, Sec. 2). The principle being: ‘...in a manner which seeks to ensure that the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’.

2.3. Regional Policy

2.3.1. Cardiff Capital Region9 The Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) City Deal is a programme agreed in 2016 between the UK Government, WG and the ten local authorities in South East Wales (Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taff (RCT), Torfaen and Vale of Glamorgan) to bring about significant economic growth in the region through investment, upskilling, and improved physical and digital connectivity. To date, the CCR Cabinet has agreed to invest in two significant projects:  IQE – In May 2017, the Cabinet agreed to invest £38.5million to support the development of a compound semiconductor industry cluster in the region; and  Metro Central – In January 2018, the Cabinet agreed in principle to commit £40million to support the proposed £180million Metro Central Development, a project that will deliver a new Central Transport Interchange at the heart of Cardiff’s City Centre Core Employment Zone.

Furthermore, in March 2018, the UK Government’s Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport approved the CCR bid for £6million of funding from the Local Full Fibre Wave 2 Challenge Fund to enable improved digital connectivity in South East Wales. The projects will include exploring the case for direct international connectivity; investment in the mobile infrastructure across 4G and 5G technologies; increasing Wi-Fi connectivity across the region; and making the CCR a state of the art open data region. 2.4. Local Policy

2.4.1. Cardiff Local Transport Plan10 Cardiff was formerly one of the ten constituent Local Authorities of the South East Wales Transport Alliance (SEWTA), the regional transport body which produced the Regional Transport Plan (RTP, 2010 – 2015). SEWTA were dissolved in March 2014 which also marked the end of the SEWTA RTP five year transport delivery programme. Therefore, WG requested that all local authorities in Wales were to produce a Local Transport Plan (LTP) for submission in January 2015. In accordance with this guidance, LTPs replaced RTPs. CC’s LTP identifies the key transport issues relevant to Cardiff, the high level interventions needed to address these and the specific priorities for the local authority to deliver in the plan period (the LTP Five Year Programme 2015 – 2020). The Plan also outlines the CC’s medium and longer term aspirations up to 2030. The LTP forms the primary reference for bids for annual capital funding from the WG for transport infrastructure with the proposed programme outlined in the LTP including:  Walking and cycling infrastructure;  Bus network and junction improvements;  Cardiff Capital Region Metro schemes; and  20mph limits and road safety schemes.

2.4.2. Cardiff’s Transport White Paper11 CC’s Transport White Paper lays out an ambitious ten year plan to tackle the climate emergency, reduce congestion and improve air quality. It has been developed following consultation with thousands of city residents, health and transport experts. Options are being considered for the delivery of the transport vision, which could cost between £1 – 2bn and is designed to transform Cardiff and South East Wales’ transport network through a series of projects which could revolutionise Active Travel and public transport options in Cardiff and the region including:  The Cardiff Metro

o New Cardiff Crossrail and Cardiff Circle tram-train lines connecting new and existing communities across the city, including new and improved stations and an integrated-ticketing system.  Rapid Bus Transport o Improving services by establishing a new cross-city bus network linked to the new Metro, including a new circular bus loop around the City Centre, new bus stations in the east and west of the city and reduced fares to £1 across the city.  Active Travel and improvements to our streets o A high-quality, safe and fully segregated cycle network by 2026, including a complete cycle loop around the City Centre connecting to six cycleways, expansion of the nextbike hire scheme (to at least 2000 bikes) and new regional bike hire opportunities will be introduced. The Council will also roll out a ‘Streets for Health Initiative’, so that streets are reclaimed as healthy public spaces for the public to enjoy, including default 20pmh limits across the city.  The future use of the car o Supporting the transition to lower emission vehicles through significantly increasing the number of electric charging points across Cardiff and expanding car club availability across the city. SMART technology will use real-time travel information to monitor and respond to transport, traffic and parking data, easing congestion on SMART transport corridors.  Infrastructure to support the wider region o A number of significant improvements proposed to all major routes into the city including a rapid-bus regional network with regular affordable bus services operating every 15-20 minutes at peak times. This network will connect towns across the city region directly to the centre of Cardiff.

2.4.3. Cardiff Local Development Plan (2006-2026)12 On the 28th January 2016 CC adopted a Local Development Plan (LDP) for Cardiff. The adopted LDP provides the statutory framework for the development and use of land within Cardiff over the period of the Plan (2006- 2026). The LDP outlines that the growth projected in the LDP will result in major increase in transport movements generally including significant additional trips on the highway network. Therefore, to accommodate the additional vehicular trips on the highway network, it will be necessary that at least 50% of all trips on Cardiff’s transport network are made by sustainable modes by the end of the Plan period in 2026. In order to achieve a 50:50 split (between car-based and non car-based travel) development proposed in the LDP will need to be supported by significant new transport infrastructure, improvements to existing transport facilities, and measures to manage travel demand and encourage use of sustainable transport both within existing and new communities in Cardiff. In terms of transport, the LDP also seeks to support the:  Delivery of sustainable transportation solutions (i.e. walking and cycling);  Enhancement of: o Strategic Rapid Transport and Bus Corridors; o Transport Interchanges; o Regional Transport Hubs; o Strategic Transportation Infrastructure; and o Strategic Recreational Routes.  The managing of transport impacts (including on transport networks and services); and  Facilitation of the Cardiff City Region ‘Metro’ Network.

Active Travel infrastructure located within the wider UHW site include numerous:  Pedestrian footways with formalised pedestrian crossings (linking parking areas to UHW and ancillary buildings (i.e. UDH));  Pedal cycle storage areas; and  Bus stops.

3.3.2. Parking The following patient / visitor / staff parking is located in the vicinity of the proposed development site (as previously outlined in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4):  Patient / Visitor Parking o Two patient / visitor parking areas (including disabled parking) located to the west of Academic Avenue (Car Park (CP) 1 and CP5 (located to the north of UDH).  Staff Parking o A 38 space parking area (for General Staff) bordering the proposed development; o Additional parking areas for General Staff accessed from Dental Drive; and o An Essential Staff parking area located to the west of Academic Avenue (on commencing from The Gateway). 3.4. Local Highway Network The highway network surrounding the site includes a combination of residential and local distributor roads (connecting to the M4). The highway network surrounding the site is illustrated in Figure 3-9.

Draft for Issue | 1.0 | June 2020 Atkins | MTVH TS_Draft for Issue Page 27 of 46

Figure 3-9 Local Highway Network

3.4.1. Allensbank Road Allensbank Road (aligned along the eastern boundary of the site) is a street-lit, c.1.35km single carriageway residential road (linking from a signalised junction with A469 Whitchurch Road to the south and forming into Heath Park Avenue to the north). A speed limit of 20mph is in place from the A469 Whitchurch Road junction to the UHW entrance (with this section of the road providing access to numerous residential streets which link back onto the A469 Whitchurch Road) and 30 mph thereon. The road is of sufficient width to facilitate two-way vehicle movements with on-street parking present throughout. In the southern section of Allensbank Road (from the A469 Whitchurch Road junction to the Wedal Road junction) this predominately takes the form of restricted residential parking bays bordering the northbound carriageway and un-restricted on-street parking bordering the southbound. From thereon, on-street parking is present on the northbound carriageway only (with double-yellow lines bordering the opposite carriageway). This commences with unrestricted on-street parking (on the A48 Eastern Avenue overbridge) before converting back into restricted residential parking bays for the remainder of the road. There is a continuous footway bordering both sides of the carriageway throughout, with dropped kerbs and tactile paving predominately present at crossing points (namely with adjoining residential streets) in the southern section (from the A469 Whitchurch Road junction to the UHW entrance) and dropped kerbs only at the junctions thereon to the north (with a Zebra Crossing and associated infrastructure i.e. tactile paving and amber beacon, located outside Allensbank Stores). The unrestricted on-street parking is predominantly associated with UHW.

3.4.2. King George V Drive West King George V Drive West (aligned along the north-western boundary of the site) is a street-lit, c.825m, 30mph single carriageway residential road predominately bordering Heath Park. The road is of sufficient width to facilitate two-way vehicle movements with restricted residential on-street parking bordering the northbound carriageway, with double-yellow lines opposite. A continuous footway (with dropped kerbs / tactile paving present at adjoining junctions) borders the northbound carriageway with Heath Park predominantly bordering the opposite carriageway.

3.4.3. A48 The A48 is a primary road providing connectivity through Cardiff from Culverhouse Cross (to the south-west) to St Mellons (to the north-east) and onwards to the M4. Its closest section to the proposed development (Eastern Avenue) is approximately 8.5km long (commencing from the A470 (North Road) / A48 (Eastern Avenue) (Gabalfa Roundabout) (to the west) forming into the A48(M) and M4 (to the east)). In the vicinity of UHW, the A48 (Eastern Avenue) is a dual carriageway road (with an unrestricted speed eastbound out of Cardiff and a 40mph speed limit (enforced by a speed camera) westbound into Cardiff). 3.5. Active Travel

3.5.1. Pedestrians The Institute of Highways and Transportation (IHT) document ‘Providing for Journeys on Foot’ (2000) 18 provides the following suggested acceptable walking distances for pedestrians that are commuting:  Desirable – 500m;  Acceptable – 1000m; and  Preferred Maximum – 2000m.

The extents of the walking isochrones are illustrated in Figure 3-10 below.

Figure 3-10 Indicative Walking Isochrones (500m / 1000m / 2000m)

18 The Institution of Highways and Transportation (2000). Guidelines for Providing for Journeys on Foot. Available online: http://www.hwa.uk.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/NR.4.3F-CIHT-Guidelines-for-Providing-Journeys-on-Foot-Chapter-3.pdf

Draft for Issue | 1.0 | June 2020 Atkins | MTVH TS_Draft for Issue Page 29 of 46

As outlined in Figure 3-10, the UHW site (and associated ancillary buildings) are all within the desirable 500m range of each other, with the surrounding residential areas of Gabalfa, Maindy, Cathays, Heath and Birchgrove all within the preferred maximum (2000m) walking distance from the proposed development. There are no Public Rights of Way (PRoW) in the vicinity of the proposed development site.

3.5.2. Cycling The cycling and sustainable travel charity Sustrans recommends that up to 8km is an acceptable distance for most individuals commuting via pedal cycle, although the individual nature of cycling means that it is not uncommon for commuting cyclists to cover much larger distances. The development site is therefore located within cycling distance of almost all of Cardiff as well as the City Centre and Cardiff Central and Queen Street Railway Stations. As shown in Figure 3-11, the nearest section of the National Cycle Network (NCN) to the proposed site is NCN Route 8 (which is c.1.35km (as the crow flies) to the west). NCN Route 8 (also known as Lôn Las Cymru) runs for the whole length of Wales, from Holyhead (Anglesey) in the north through to Cardiff via Brecon, Builth Wells, Machynlleth, Porthmadog and Bangor.

Figure 3-11 NCN

3.5.3. Active Travel Summary It is concluded that the area surrounding the proposed development site can be considered an environment which is conducive to both walking and cycling. There are good opportunities for staff and visitors from the surrounding residential areas (and beyond) to travel using Active Travel modes (either for the whole of their journey or in part). 3.6. Public Transport Provision

3.6.1. UHW Park & Ride UHW operates a free of charge ‘Park and Ride’ service from Pentwyn (taking approximately six minutes) with buses running every ten minutes (between 0630 – 1850 when travelling to UHW and returning between 0640 and 1900). After these times, buses will continue to run every twenty minutes into the night with the last bus departing from the ‘Park and Ride’ car park at 2250 and from UHW at 2300). The UHW ‘Park & Ride’ service has a dedicated bus stand and shelter located near the multi-storey car park (as shown in Figure 3-12.

Draft for Issue | 1.0 | June 2020 Atkins | MTVH TS_Draft for Issue Page 31 of 46

3.6.2. Public Bus Services

Bus Infrastructure The bus stop located on the western side of Academic Avenue (as previously outlined in Figure 3-8) consists of a flag and a timetable (attached to directional signage post). Users utilise the wall bordering the UDH for seating. The bus stop located to the north of Academic Avenue (on Heath Park Way) consists of a layby (with associated ‘Bus Stop’ yellow markings), a bus boarder, and a shelter with seating / timetable and a flag.

Bus Services The following Cardiff Bus services (linking to the City Centre, Cardiff Bay, suburban areas of Cardiff and other towns in south Wales) stop at the Academic Avenue bus stop:  Service 2, 8, 9 , 9A, 64, 65 and 95; with the additional services operating at the northern Heath Park Way bus stop:  Service 1 and 51.

3.6.3. Rail The closest railway stations to the site are Heath Low Level and Heath High Level (located approximately 1.5km to the north-east). Both stations are managed by Transport for Wales (TfW) and provide regular services (up to two per hour) to residential areas to the north such as Radyr, and to the City Centre to the south. Cardiff Central provides access to further afield destinations such as Bristol (to the east) and Swansea (to the west).

3.6.4. Public Transport Summary Public transport in the vicinity of the site is considered to provide a very good level of accessibility with numerous bus stops and routes accessible from the UHW site (which are all located within IHT’s ‘desirable’ 500m walking distance from UHW and all ancillary buildings). Furthermore, UHW operates a free of charge ‘Park and Ride’ service from Pentwyn (taking approximately six minutes) with buses running every ten minutes. Heath Low Level and Heath High Level Railway Stations can also be reached sustainably by foot, cycle or by bus, meaning rail services could feature as part of a multi-modal sustainable journey (either for the whole of the journey or in part). Therefore, the proposed development offers a very good opportunity for visitors and staff to travel to / commute to the proposed development via public transport. 3.7. Personal Injury Collision Review

3.7.1. Analysis Personal Injury Collision (PIC) data covering the Study Area has been analysed (utilising Crashmap20) for the latest five-year period (2015-2019).

20 Crashmap (2020). Available online: https://www.crashmap.co.uk/

Draft for Issue | 1.0 | June 2020 Atkins | MTVH TS_Draft for Issue Page 32 of 46

Figure 3-13 PIC Plot21 As shown in Figure 3-13, a total of 50 collisions have been reported in the vicinity of the proposed site, comprising of:  No fatal;  Six serious; and  44 slight.

In terms of the six serious collisions reported:  Two were reported on the A469 (Caerphilly Road) o One on 03/03/2017 involving two vehicles (with one casualty reported); and the other on o 01/09/2018 with one vehicle involved (resulting in one casualty reported).  One on 09/02/2015 on A470 (Merthyr Road) involving two vehicles (with one casualty reported);  One at the A470 (North Road) / A48 (Eastern Avenue) (Gabalfa Roundabout) reported on 31/07/2016 involving two vehicles (with one casualty reported); and  Two on the A48 (Eastern Avenue) o One on 27/04/2015 involving one vehicle with two casualties reported; and the other on o 31/05/2019 with two vehicles involved (resulting in one casualty reported).

There are PIC clusters (as illustrated on Figure 3-13) at the following locations (with four or more PICs reported):  A469 (Caerphilly Road) / Birchgrove Road / Heathwood Road junction;  A469 (Caerphilly Road) (south of Rhydhelig Avenue);  A470 (Merthyr Road) / A470 (North Road) / A469 (Caerphilly Road) junction; and  A470 (North Road) / A48 (Eastern Avenue) (Gabalfa Roundabout).

Three collisions were reported within the UHW site, with one collision reported at the Allensbank Road entrance (all reported as slight).

3.7.2. PIC Summary The vast majority of PICs recorded in the Study Area are of slight severity with a low proportion reported as serious and none as fatal. Three collisions were reported within the UHW site, with one collision reported at the Allensbank Road entrance (all reported as slight). The PIC clusters outlined on the main distributor roads and junctions are typical of the roads and junctions of this nature. Furthermore, the proposals will not alter the layout of the existing highway network and will not result in a material increase in traffic flows.

4. Development Proposals 4.1. Introduction The Chapter of the TS will outline the indicative development proposals. 4.2. Development Proposals

4.2.1. Overview The C&V UHB have identified the need for the provision of two new theatres at the UHW site at Heath Park in Cardiff. The new theatres will support the implementation of major trauma and vascular surgery, with arterial surgery and more complex endovascular interventions centralised at the UHW site. The proposed development will ensure the long-term sustainability of the trauma and vascular services network with UHW at its hub.

4.2.2. Development Proposals The proposed development will be located on Academic Avenue which is adjacent to Tower Block 2 on the western edge of the main hospital complex as shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 Proposed Westerly View (looking North along Academic Avenue)

Draft for Issue | 1.0 | June 2020 Atkins | MTVH TS_Draft for Issue Page 35 of 46

The new building will be linked to the existing theatres on the 3rd floor. Within the existing building a small element of remodelling and re-provision is proposed to allow the linking of corridors and for the provision of additional theatre recovery beds. A section plan showing the connections between the proposed development and Tower Block 2 is provided in Figure 4-2.

Figure 4-2 North Elevation Section Plan

4.2.3. Schedule of Accommodation The ground floor will be an under-croft area containing the existing generator units, which will be screened from view. The existing pedestrian footways through this area will be retained and repaved. The existing provision of eight car parking spaces within this area will be replaced by the new bio-retention planters which are required for the sustainable urban drainage system. The first floor will be set at a level of 7.2m above ground floor level to ensure sufficient clearance from the existing generator units, and the existing vehicular drop-off reception area on the upper ground floor. The new build elements here are dictated by the proposed form of construction, existing hospital floor levels and the required structural zones. This results in a vehicular and pedestrian clearance reduction at the reception areas (from 3.8m to 2.6m on the vehicular ramp and to 2.4m at the entrance accommodation) as shown in Figure 4-3 below.

Draft for Issue | 1.0 | June 2020 Atkins | MTVH TS_Draft for Issue Page 36 of 46

Figure 4-3 Clearance Reduction Plan

The first and second floors will provide in-patient ward space, stores and circulation; and, the third floor will provide two theatres, plus control room, anaesthetic rooms, administration, utility rooms and circulation. The fourth floor will comprise the required plant rooms. The total length of the building along Academic Avenue is 39m, depth 16.5m plus connecting corridor of 16m. Its maximum height is around 26m. It will provide a total of 2,770sqm gross internal floor area, of which approximately 2,100sqm comprises theatre and ward space. Indicative floor plans are provided in Figure 4-4.

Figure 4-4 Indicative Floor Plans

Draft for Issue | 1.0 | June 2020 Atkins | MTVH TS_Draft for Issue Page 38 of 46

4.2.4. Access The site is located within the existing access context of the UHW. The proposal for the new theatres forms an integrated component of the wider hospital environment which, being sustainably located, will benefit from the high level of strategic access the hospital site experiences as outlined in Section 3. A number of bus routes serve the UHW campus, linking it to the City Centre, Cardiff Bay, suburban areas of Cardiff and other towns in south Wales with Bus drop-off and pick-up from the main hospital entrance and internal roads (see Figure 3.8 for further details).

4.2.5. Car Parking Car parking facilities are located across the hospital campus, with the principal patient and visitor car parks being located in a multi-storey building along the southern boundary of the campus site, close to the entrances to the hospital site from the A48 (Eastern Avenue). Patient, Staff and Visitor Parking areas are shown in Figures 3.3 and 3.4.

4.2.6. Active Travel Cycle paths interface with the hospital site and multiple cycle storage areas are distributed across the campus as shown in Figure 3.8. Similarly, there are multiple pedestrian routes entering and crossing the hospital site, connecting to bus stops and parking facilities to key hospital buildings (with multiple pedestrian road crossings throughout the campus ensuring safe pedestrian movement).

4.2.7. Internal Access Within the main hospital building, wide public and staff circulation routes provide access to all departments, including the existing theatre department. Access to all levels within the hospital is available by means of lifts and stairways. The development proposals hence achieve fully inclusive access for staff, patients and visitors to the new hospital and theatre accommodation. 4.3. Transport Impact The Major Trauma Unit at UHW is currently provided by some 18 separate existing services (such as cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, and vascular surgery etc.). The proposed development seeks to bring together the existing 18 separate services into two specialist operating theatres (accommodated within an extension to the existing main building) to improve the effective operation of the unit. The centralisation of these existing services and associated ward space is not expected to generate a significant increase in hospital trips or to have an undue impact on the transport network serving the UHW site. The CAV UHB have made a commitment to promote sustainable travel at their hospital sites as part of their ‘Clean and Green’ campaign which supports their ambitious ten-year strategy, ‘Shaping our Future Wellbeing’. There is clear evidence of their commitment towards sustainable travel at the UHW site having secured significant infrastructure and service improvements in recent years which include:  Construction of the Sustainable Transport Hub;  Introduction of the free of charge ‘Park and Ride’ service from Pentwyn; and  Implementation of the UHW Traffic Management Strategy.

5. Transport Implementation Strategy 5.1. Introduction Technical Advice Note (TAN) 18: Transport, indicates that the TA process should include the production of a Transport Implementation Strategy (TIS) which should propose measures for managing travel demand to a site. This Chapter of the TS therefore outlines the TIS for the proposed development.

5.2. TIS Overview

5.2.1. Active Travel As outlined in Chapter 3, to minimise the impact of the development, the following is available within (and serving) the UHW site:  Numerous Active Travel access / egress points to the UHW site: o Footways are provided at the vehicular access points situated off King George V Drive West (to the north-west) and Allensbank Road (to the east of the site); o Two access points leading from Heath Park (bordering the northern boundary of the site); and o Two access points to the south-west of the site: . Via Flaxland Avenue, crossing the A48 (Eastern Avenue) via a Shared Use Overbridge; and . Via A470 (North Road) / A48 (Eastern Avenue) (Gabalfa Roundabout) via Shared Use Paths.  Active Travel infrastructure (in the vicinity of the proposed development): o A continuous eastern and western footway bordering Academic Avenue (with dropped kerbs and tactile paving at crossing points); o Three uncontrolled Zebra Crossings (with associated infrastructure i.e. tactile paving and amber beacons) located on Academic Avenue; o A Zebra Crossing (with associated infrastructure i.e. tactile paving and amber beacon) located on Dental Drive (which is located to the west of Academic Avenue, directly opposite the proposed development); o A Zebra Crossing (with tactile paving) located on accessing the ramped vehicular access (from the north); o Six pedal cycle storage areas (three located to the east, two located to the west and one to the north of Academic Avenue); and o Two bus stops (one to the west of Academic Avenue and one to the north (situated on Heath Park Way)).  Active Travel infrastructure located within the wider UHW site include numerous: o Pedestrian footways with formalised pedestrian crossings (linking parking areas to UHW and ancillary buildings (i.e. UDH)); o Pedal cycle storage areas; and o Bus stops..

5.2.2. Public Transport Public transport in the vicinity of the site is considered to provide a very good level of accessibility with numerous bus stops and routes accessible from the UHW site (which are all located within IHT’s ‘desirable’ 500m walking distance from UHW and all ancillary buildings). UHW also operates a free of charge ‘Park and Ride’ service from Pentwyn (taking approximately six minutes) with buses running every ten minutes. Heath Low Level and Heath High Level Railway Stations can also be reached sustainably by foot, cycle or by bus, meaning rail services could feature as part of a multi-modal sustainable journey (either for the whole of their journey or in part).

Draft for Issue | 1.0 | June 2020 Atkins | MTVH TS_Draft for Issue Page 40 of 46

Therefore, the proposed development offers a very good opportunity for visitors and staff to travel to / commute to the proposed development via public transport.

5.2.3. Traffic Management There is no through route allowed for vehicular traffic within the UHW site with the following in place:  No throughway access to the road running adjacent to entrance of the A&E Department except for emergency vehicles and public transport; with  A barrier management system in place.

5.3. TIS Summary The transport / Active Travel infrastructure at UHW has been designed to satisfy the needs of the hospital, whilst seeking to reduce the impact of hospital traffic on surrounding roads and improve the safety of patients / visitors and staff when accessing / departing the site.

6. Summary and Conclusions 6.1. Overview Atkins has been commissioned by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (C&V UHB) to prepare a Transport Statement (TS) to support the full planning application for the proposed Major Trauma Vascular Hybrid Theatres (MTVH), at University Hospital of Wales (UHW), Cardiff.

6.1.1. Proposed Development The proposed development comprises of an extension to the existing main hospital building where two specialist operating theatres will be housed for use by the Major Trauma Unit and Vascular Services (the term ‘major trauma’ refers to life threatening or potentially life changing injury). The Major Trauma Unit at UHW is currently provided by some 18 separate existing services (such as cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, and vascular surgery etc.). The effective operation of the unit requires two new specialist theatres (which are not currently provided at UHW). 6.2. Existing Situation The UHW is a major 1,000 bed teaching hospital (Cardiff University School of Medicine), employing over 8,000 staff, located in the Heath area of north Cardiff. The existing site has numerous vehicular access / egress points, with no through route allowed for vehicular traffic with Traffic Management measures in place. The existing site also has numerous Active Travel access / egress points, with the TS concluding that the area surrounding the proposed development site can be considered an environment which is conducive to both walking and cycling. There are good opportunities for staff and visitors from the surrounding residential areas (and beyond) to travel using Active Travel modes (either for the whole of their journey or in part). The nearest section of the National Cycle Network (NCN) to the proposed site is NCN Route 8. NCN Route 8 (also known as Lôn Las Cymru) runs for the whole length of Wales, from Holyhead (Anglesey) in the north through to Cardiff via Brecon, Builth Wells, Machynlleth, Porthmadog and Bangor. Public transport in the vicinity of the site is also considered to provide a very good level of accessibility with numerous bus stops and routes accessible from the UHW site (which are all located within IHT’s ‘desirable’ 500m walking distance from UHW and all ancillary buildings). Furthermore, UHW operates a free of charge ‘Park and Ride’ service from Pentwyn (taking approximately six minutes) with buses running every ten minutes. Heath Low Level and Heath High Level Railway Stations can be reached sustainably from the proposed development by either foot, cycle or by bus, meaning rail services could feature as part of a multi-modal sustainable journey (either for the whole of the journey or in part) by visitors / staff. The vast majority of PICs recorded in the Study Area were of slight severity with a low proportion reported as serious and none as fatal. Three collisions were reported within the UHW site, with one collision reported at the Allensbank Road entrance (all reported as slight). The PIC clusters outlined on the main distributor roads and junctions are typical of the roads and junctions of this nature. Furthermore, the proposals will not alter the layout of the existing highway network and will not result in a material increase in traffic flows.

6.3. Development Proposals The C&V UHB have identified the need for the provision of two new theatres at the UHW site at Heath Park in Cardiff. The new theatres will support the implementation of major trauma and vascular surgery, with arterial surgery and more complex endovascular interventions centralised at the UHW site. The proposed development will ensure the long-term sustainability of the trauma and vascular services network with UHW at its hub. The proposed development will be located on Academic Avenue which is adjacent to Tower Block 2 on the western edge of the main hospital complex. 6.4. Transport Impact The Major Trauma Unit at UHW is currently provided by some 18 separate existing services (such as cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, and vascular surgery etc.). The proposed development seeks to bring together the existing 18 separate services into two specialist operating theatres (accommodated within an

extension to the existing main building) to improve the effective operation of the unit. The centralisation of these existing services and associated ward space is not expected to generate a significant increase in hospital trips or to have an undue impact on the transport network serving the UHW site. The CAV UHB have made a commitment to promote sustainable travel at their hospital sites as part of their ‘Clean and Green’ campaign which supports their ambitious ten-year strategy, ‘Shaping our Future Wellbeing’. There is clear evidence of their commitment towards sustainable travel at the UHW site having secured significant infrastructure and service improvements in recent years which include:  Construction of the Sustainable Transport Hub;  Introduction of the free of charge ‘Park and Ride’ service from Pentwyn; and  Implementation of the UHW Traffic Management Strategy.

The UHW site is now considered to be conducive to both walking and cycling in addition to being well served by frequent public transport services. The opportunities for any new trips generated by the proposed development to be made by sustainable transport modes have therefore been maximised and will be supported by the CAV UHB’s online travel planning services. 6.5. Transport Implementation Strategy (TIS) The transport / Active Travel infrastructure at UHW has been designed to satisfy the needs of the hospital, whilst seeking to reduce the impact of hospital traffic on surrounding roads and improve the safety of patients / visitors and staff when accessing / departing the site.

6.6. Conclusion The proposed site is located in a sustainable location which has very good accessibility by non-motorised modes and public transport. The centralisation of the existing services and associated ward space proposed is not expected to generate a significant increase in hospital trips or to have an undue impact on the transport network serving the UHW site. Furthermore, the development is also supported CAV UHB ‘Clean and Green’ campaign which supports their ambitious ten-year strategy, ‘Shaping our Future Wellbeing’.
