Junction Strategy Report 1 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE 1.1.1 My name is James Evans. I am a Chartered Engineer and a member of the Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation. I have a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Civil Engineering from Loughborough University of Technology and have 29 years of experience. I am a Regional Associate within the Highways Business Unit of WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff and am based at its Cardiff Office. 1.1.2 I have worked on all stages of highway projects from feasibility through to construction. 1.2 DECLARATION 1.2.1 I confirm that my duty to the inspector and the Welsh Ministers as an Expert Witness overrides any duty to those instructing or paying me, that I have understood this duty and complied with it in giving my evidence impartially and objectively and that I will continue to comply with that duty as required. 1.2.2 I confirm that I am not instructed under any conditional arrangement. 1.2.3 I confirm that I have no conflicts of interest. 1.3 NATURE OF EVIDENCE 1.3.1 My evidence covers highway engineering and preliminary design matters, junction design and highway drainage strategy in connection with the A4226 (Five Mile) Lane classified road. 2 1.3.2 The scheme proposals are published by means of the Vale of Glamorgan (A4226 Five Mile Lane Highway Improvements) Compulsory Purchase Order 2016 and the Vale of Glamorgan A4226 (Five Mile Lane) Classified Road Side Roads Order 2016. An Environmental Statement, which was published in 2016 in support of the planning application, details the environmental aspects of the scheme. The Side Roads Order (SRO) plans show the line of the proposed road and the changes proposed in relation to the improvement of the existing highway, stopping up of existing highway, construction of new highways, stopping up of private means of access and the provision of new means of access where appropriate. The Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) plans show the land needed to build the proposed road. 1.4 INVOLVEMENT WITH THE SCHEME 1.4.1 Parsons Brinckerhoff was commissioned by Welsh Government in August 2013 to undertake a study into improving access between Culverhouse Cross and the St Athan and Cardiff Airport Enterprise Zone. This commission focused on proposals to improve the A4226 Five Mile Lane classified road. 1.4.2 The preliminary highway design has been developed by Parsons Brinckerhoff and WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff up to the submission of the planning application in April 2016 and development of the CPO and SRO plans and schedules published in July 2016. I have been the WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff project manager for the Scheme since January 2015. 1.5 STRUCTURE OF EVIDENCE 1.5.1 Section 2 of this evidence outlines the design process and development of the scheme submitted for planning permission. Section 3 describes the design standards adopted. Section 4 provides a description of the scheme. A summary and conclusions are presented in Section 5. 3 1.5.2 References to documents and appendices are references to the deposit and library documents and the appendices which are set out and numbered in the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s Statement of Case in this matter unless otherwise stated. 4 2 DESIGN PROCESS AND SCHEME DEVELOPMENT 2.1 STAGES IN THE DESIGN PROCESS 2.1.1 There are there principal stages in the highway design process. Stage 1 – Option testing, public consultation and route selection. Stage 2 – Development of the selected route through planning application and Orders; and Stage 3 – Detailed design for construction 2.1.2 Stage 1 included a WelTAG Stage One Assessment of the proposed route corridor undertaken by Arup in March 2012. Stage 2 involved the development of the design along the identified route corridor culminating in the granting of conditional planning permission in December 2016 and the publishing of the proposed CPO and SRO in July 2016. Stage 3, detailed design would follow in the event of a satisfactory outcome of this Inquiry. 2.2 BACKGROUND TO THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT 2.2.1 In July 2013 Edwina Hart AM, the Minister for Business, Enterprise, Technology & Science announced funding for the A4226 Five Mile Road Improvement Scheme. The proposals stem from the strategic plans of both the Welsh Government and the Council. The Scheme will provide strategic and direct access to the St Athan and Cardiff Airport Enterprise Zone, supporting job creation and employment and will improve road infrastructure, safety and provision of a new cycle route. 5 2.2.2 The existing A4226 Five Mile Lane is a single carriageway road, in a rural location, varying in width between 6.0 and 7.3m. The route is classified and maintained as an ‘A’ road by the Vale of Glamorgan; however it currently fails to meet appropriate highway standards for a 60mph road. The Five Mile Lane section of the A4226 has acquired a reputation for having a poor accident record in recent years.

  • Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword
    Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword I am pleased to introduce the Local Development Plan which provides a framework for sustainable development within the Vale of Glamorgan up to 2026. It is an extremely important Policy document that will guide the growth of the Vale of Glamorgan over a fifteen year period and identifies the infrastructure needs of our communities in terms of employment, facilities and services needed to support that growth. In setting this framework for the future development of the Vale of Glamorgan, we have been mindful of the need to regenerate and support our communities and in doing so the Plan seeks to achieve a balance between economic growth, social cohesion and environmental impact. Wherever possible the Plan’s emphasis is on re-using previously developed land and minimising the need to develop on green fields. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Barry where the emphasis is very much on the continued regeneration of the Waterfront. In addition, we have ensured that sufficient emphasis is being placed on providing for an appropriate level of growth in other communities throughout the Vale thereby ensuring their long term sustainability and vitality. In reading the document you will see that the evidence base that has informed the Plan and its policies is wide ranging and robust. I am particularly pleased that in progressing this Plan we have been able to comprehensively identify and allocate land for the services and facilities that will be needed to support additional residential and employment growth during the Plan period.
