Redh DONCASTER INFRASTRUCTURE Redh DONCASTER INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY (DRAFT) MEETING OUR LONG TERM INVESTMENT NEEDS ANNEX JUNE 2018 INTRODUCTION This report is the annex to the Doncaster Infrastructure Strategy and should be read in conjunction with it. The Doncaster Infrastructure Strategy consists of the following sections. A main report setting out the key infrastructure needs facing the borough and how they will be addressed. An annex containing a more detailed description of the key infrastructure proposals and projects. A short summary of main findings and recommendations of the report. The main report includes a schedule of the key infrastructure projects that are required or are desirable to support Doncaster’s growth over the next 15 years and beyond. Copies of these documents can be downloaded via our website at www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan. The information is accurate as of June 2018. This annex covers the following themes. 1. Transportation (strategic highways, rail transport, cycling and bus transport). 2. Education and learning (primary, secondary and further education). 3. Green infrastructure (greenspaces, green routes and biodiversity). 4. Health and social care. 5. Flooding and drainage infrastructure. 6. Community, sport and cultural facilities. 7. Energy and telecommunications. 8. Utilities (gas, electricity and waste water). This annex also highlights gaps in provision (in the absence of funding or committed projects) and looks at how these could be addressed. The Doncaster Infrastructure Strategy will be updated as new information becomes available and infrastructure proposals are confirmed in more detail. 1 CHAPTER 1: TRANSPORTATION 1.1 The following section describes the transport and physical highway-based infrastructure required to deliver the aspirations set out in the Doncaster Local Plan. Major enhancements to the strategic transport network are planned, including: new link roads and bypasses; new rail connection and station at Doncaster Sheffield Airport new or upgraded railway stations; new or improved park and ride schemes improved freight routes; motorway junction improvements; and a new high-speed rail opportunities (which will serve Doncaster and the Sheffield city region) 1.2 These schemes will relieve congestion, unlock development (e.g. housing and employment) and improve links between communities in the north, south and east of the borough Strategic highways Strategic Road Network management 1.3 Doncaster occupies a strategic location at the centre of the UK’s motorway network, with access to M18, M180 and A1 (M) motorways and links to the M1 and M62 motorways. The A1 (M) provides direct access both the north (towards York and the north east of England) and the south (towards London). The M18 motorway provides direct links to the east coast ports via the M180 and M62 motorways as well as access to the other regional and national centres via the A1 (M) and M1 motorways. However, volumes of traffic are relatively low compared to the busier M1 and A1 (M) motorways. 1.4 Some parts of the borough suffer from poor connectivity with the Strategic Road Network, particularly between A19 and A1 (M) in the North West (e.g. Skellow, Askern, Adwick and Carcroft) and between M18 motorway and Doncaster Sheffield Airport (e.g. Finningley, Auckley and Blaxton) in the south west and between Hatfield, Stainforth and M18/M18 motorways in the North West. In these areas, strategic employment opportunities lie alongside or close to the motorway network (e.g. Unity, Doncaster Sheffield Airport and Bentley Moor Lane) but often lack direct access to it and derive limited or no benefit from the on-going and planned investment along these corridors. Doncaster’s highway network requires extra capacity to accommodate future traffic demand at key bottlenecks such as motorway junctions and roundabouts. 1.5 Highways England is currently implementing a £15 billion investment programme of road modernisation and improvements to the strategic highway network. This programme aims to relieve congestion from through traffic and improve access to the strategic highway network to accommodate future demand arising from economic and population growth in the Sheffield city region. Recently completed projects include: improvements to junction 5 of the M18 motorway/junction 1 of the M180 motorway including new traffic signals and junction widening to reduce congestion and accidents especially at peak times and open up development opportunities in the Hatfield/Stainforth area; road resurfacing (between junctions 1 and 4 of the M180 motorway); road widening (between junctions 2 and 3 of the M18 motorway along the north bound carriageway); improvements to the interchange between M1 and M18 motorways including newly installed equipment to reduce the number of accidents and improve the flow of traffic; and up-to-date signals and variable message signs along the M1 and M18 motorways (covering 17km of carriageway) to help relieve congestion, improve safety and enhance access to 2 neighbouring areas. 1.6 Highways England also intends to upgrade the A1 over its entire length including junctions 38 to 40 for the Redhouse scheme and junctions 35 to 38 for the Doncaster Bypass scheme. At present the two projects are scheduled for implementation in Roads Period 2. This means that the schemes will be delivered in the period 2020 to 2025 1.7 Highways England is currently carrying on modelling on the Strategic Road Network so assess the cumulative impact of the Local Plan growth strategic. Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council will work with Highways England to evaluate the outcomes of this modelling work to identify potential constraints as a result of the planned growth. It is intended that both parties will adopt a collaborative approach to developing solutions to mitigate unacceptable impacts on the network. Lorry parking 1.8 Doncaster has seen a significant growth in the logistics market over recent years and this is set to continue with the expansion of existing sites and development of new sites in the pipeline such as Inland Port, Doncaster Sheffield Business Park, West Moor Link, primarily along the M18 and A1(M) motorway corridors. 1.9 The operations of distribution centres vary between companies whereby there may not be any parking provision within the business site and drivers are expected to arrive at their allocated time slot, whereas others may provide lorry parking within the site. Where no parking is offered then the impact is that drivers utilise roads close to the distribution centre to park up until their allocated time slot. As such, drivers may have different requirements in terms of parking depending upon where they are in terms of their daily driving limit. 1.10 Anecdotal evidence suggests that a small number of lorry drivers are causing disruption to local residents and businesses from parking along the local highway network, notably within existing industrial estates. Complaints rang from dangerous parking, noise from refrigeration units, damage to verges, littering/waste and drivers going to the toilet without any facilities. 1.11 Doncaster currently has two lorry parks offering both long and short term secure parking facilities at junction 5 of the M18 motorway (motorway service station) and Adwick Le Street. In addition, there are a number of lorry parks on the outskirts of the borough, most notably the Stockyard at junction 1 of the M18 motorway where over 200 lorries can be accommodated and offers showering/toilet facilities as well as food and entertainment. There are other small establishments to the south just off the A1 near Blyth. There are several laybys to the north of Doncaster on the A1 which offer rest areas with no facilities but these areas are in the process of being closed between Redhouse and Darrington; this will disperse drivers that currently use them but it is not clear whether they will be able to utilise other options such as motorway service areas along the A1 or whether they will look to pull off the A1 and seek local parking provision. 1.12 Figure 1 below shows the main freight generating sites and the current official lorry parks. The number of lorries parked at the various sites monitored within Doncaster would seem to suggest a lack of sufficient lorry parking facilities to match the existing demand. On the other hand, a national study into lorry parking demand suggests that Doncaster already has sufficient lorry parking facilities. Consequently, further investigation is needed to determine the nature and scale of the lorry parking shortfall1. 1 Lorry Parking Audit Study (AECOM, 2011) 3 Figure 1: Doncaster lorry parks and freight generators Electricity-charging infrastructure 1.13 Doncaster currently has 9 electric–charging points including two in the town centre and other sites along the Strategic Road Network such as Lakeside shopping centre and MOTO service area. Electric–charging points are also located along key road junctions leading into the borough, including A1 (M) and M62 junctions. The UK’s first on-street charging point has recently been installed at Drummond Street in Rotherham town centre where drivers can to top up their electric vehicle battery charge, on the road, in just three to four hours. The rollout of public access charge points across the county of South Yorkshire forms part of a government initiative to encourage businesses and organisations to make the switch to ‘plug-in electric vehicles’.2 Strategic highway projects A1 Redhouse to Darrington 1.14 Highways England is planning an upgrade of the A1 in South Yorkshire, between Redhouse and Darrington, to raise the last non-motorway section to motorway standard. Together with supporting improvements to the neighbouring A1(M) Doncaster bypass, this will create a new strategic route 2 Under the government-backed scheme, businesses and organisations in South Yorkshire can obtain a grant of up £10,500 for a plug-in van, £7,500 for a plug-in car and up to £500 for a workplace charging point.

  • Land Off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield
    2019/1013 Applicant: National Grid Description: Planning application for National Grid's Visual Impact Provision (VIP) project involving the following works:1) Construction of a new sealing end compound, including permanent access; 2) Construction of a temporary haul road from Brook Hill Lane including widened bellmouth; 3) Construction of a temporary Trans Pennine Trail Diversion to be used for approximately 12 - 18 months; following construction approximately 410m of said diversion surface would be retained permanently; and 4) Erection of two bridges (one temporary and one permanent) along the Trans Pennine Trail diversion Site Address: Land off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield Site Description The site stretches from Dunford Bridge in the Peak District National Park to Wogden Foot LWS approximately 1.8km to the east. With the exception of the sealing end compounds at either end, the site is linear and broadly follows the route of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT). At Dunford Bridge the site extends to the former rail tunnel entrance and includes the existing sealing end compound located behind properties on Don View. Beyond this is the TPT car park and the TPT itself which is a former rail line running from Dunford Bridge to Penistone; now utilised as a bridleway. The site takes in land adjacent the TPT along which a temporary diverted bridleway route is proposed. In addition, Wogden Foot, a Local Wildlife Site (LWS) located 1.8km to the east is included (in part) as the proposed location of a new sealing end compound; construction access to this from Windle Edge also forms part for the application.
