Executive Summary

Introduction

Stantec, has been commissioned by Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) to undertake transport modelling and assessment to inform the preparation of the Wokingham Local Plan Update (LPU) with a horizon to 2036. The LPU will replace the existing Core Strategy (2010) and Managing Development Delivery Local Plan, and will put in place an updated spatial strategy and set of planning policies to manage development up to the year 2036.

The council is working towards a public consultation on a Draft LPU and is therefore preparing the evidence to support the spatial strategy and development management policies.

A key part of this evidence is understanding the transport impacts of proposed growth and how these impacts might be mitigated.

The Transport Modelling Tool

For the purpose of informing this LPU, strategic computer modelling has been used to analyse the complex transport patterns that already take place within the borough on the highway network as well as analyse the transport impacts of LPU development options. The council maintains a strategic transport model known as the Wokingham Strategic Transport Model 4 (WSTM4). Model outputs will be used to underpin the transport evidence base to inform the LPU.

The first step in developing the model was to produce a tool which provides a representation of observed travel conditions for a base year, which in the case of WSTM4, is 2015. The base year model was produced by WSP, associated documents are referenced below and can be located on the Council’s website.

Once a model is demonstrated to be representative of the base year conditions it can then be used to forecast predicted traffic conditions in future years, through the development of future year or forecast models. To demonstrate the suitability of a model, the development process and outputs utilise guidance provided by the Department of Transport, known as Transport Analysis Guidance1. A technical report known as a Local Model Validation Report (LMVR)2 has been produced by WSP, and sets out the processes and results that demonstrate the base model as a suitable tool from which to develop future forecasts and to understand the highway impacts of proposed LPU developments.

An addendum3 to the LMVR4 that reported on the Variable Demand Model (VDM) component of the base year was also produced by WSP. VDM gives the WSTM4 the capability to represent travel behavioural responses other than route choice alone.

Trip frequency (how often people travel), mode choice and trip distribution (where people travel to) are the travel responses represented by the VDM component of the WSTM4. VDM has been applied to the forecast year scenarios without the proposed LPU scenarios. These scenarios represent baseline future scenarios, also termed the Reference Case in this report, against which the proposed local plan development’s impact can be compared.

Applying VDM to the Reference Case scenarios was considered appropriate in order to develop baseline forecast demands that were more consistent with the constraining effects of network capacity. Without VDM, the baseline would likely exhibit unrealistic congestion in the baseline scenarios leading to model outputs such as excessive delays and routeing choices that may not be

plausible. Given the dispersed nature of the development clusters proposed in the LPU, it was considered that applying VDM to the ‘with development’ plan scenarios would not be proportionate nor would it provide added value to the outputs of the modelling because there would likely be little change to the model demands with the LPU in place as a result of VDM.

Models have been developed to represent an average weekday AM peak hour (08:00 – 09:00), Inter peak hour (average of 10:00 – 16:00) and PM peak hour (17:00 – 18:00) in a neutral month during school term time. The model will represent a view of movements through the local network for these periods and cars, light goods vehicles and heavy goods vehicles are represented separately. The area covered by the model is split into a number of zones. The zones are smaller in the main area of interest (in the case Wokingham borough and the immediate surrounding area) and get larger the further away you go. Each vehicle represented within the model will start (have an origin) within one zone and finish (have a destination) within another zone.

Stantec have used the base year model, to then produce future year models to investigate travel patterns in and around the Wokingham area. This includes taking account of commitments in the existing local plan of Wokingham and surrounding authorities as well as a range of potential LPU development scenarios . The impacts of proposed growth are likely to be more pronounced in the more congested AM and PM peak periods, hence the modelling analysis has concentrated on and reported impacts in these periods.

Grazeley Garden Settlement

The potential for a Grazeley Garden Settlement is being progressed jointly by Wokingham Borough Council, Council and Reading Council . Grazeley Garden Settlement has the potential to provide a mixed use settlement of up to 15,000 new homes with employment, community uses, and open space. It is expected that 10,000 homes would be inside Wokingham Borough Council’s boundaries and cover a major part of the council’s housing needs until 2036. It has recently been part of a Housing Infrastructure Funding (HIF) bid by Wokingham Borough Council, along with West Berkshire and Reading councils.

A substantial amount of work has already been undertaken to assess and model the impact of the Garden Settlement at Grazeley. Masterplanning work on Grazeley and a number of other larger sites has suggested that Grazeley could provide the most viable strategic scale development option to accommodate a large proportion of housing need in Wokingham and beyond.

Further modelling needs to be undertaken to understand the cumulative impacts of Grazeley and further site allocations to inform the local plan update evidence base. Within the LPU modelling, Grazeley has been assumed within the Reference Case due to the unique opportunities it presents for a sustainable and carbon neutral development as compared to other spatial strategy options.. It is the baseline scenario against which future LPU scenarios have been compared.

Adopted Local Plan

The Wokingham Local Plan (2006 – 2026), adopted in January 2010, set out an overarching framework for the future of the plan area to 2026 and comprises a long-term spatial vision, strategic objectives and spatial strategy. It also contained strategies for the settlement hubs and strategic and local development management policies, along with a monitoring framework.

The adopted Local Plan made provision to deliver a minimum of 13,230 homes over the period 2006 – 2026 equating to an average delivery of approximately 660 homes per year. An element of this housing was already identified through outstanding planning permissions with allowance also made for ‘windfall’ housing, likely to come forward in small developments of less than 6 dwellings. The majority of provision would be met through around 10,000 homes, at 4 Strategic Development Locations (SDLs) with associated infrastructure:

Garrison (CP18) – 3,500 homes;

J:\46807 – Wokingham LPU Modelling\Transport\Working 8 Documents\Reports\#Report 1\Wokingham Modelling Local Plan Update Transport Assessment Report_Final.docx Transport Assessment Report Wokingham Local Plan Update

 South of M4 (CP19) – 2,500 homes

 North Wokingham (CP20) – 1,500 homes; and

 South Wokingham (CP21) – 2,500 homes.

The large scale of these developments allowed for big ticket infrastructure to be planned and delivered alongside and the new roads have all been captured in the model.

The Managing Development Delivery Local Plan (MDD) allocated further sites for development. Approximately 1,000 dwellings were allocated for development as carried forward from the Wokingham District Local Plan; 840 dwellings allocated at major and modest development locations; and 135 dwellings allocated on reserve sites, envisaged to come forward post 2026.

Local Plan Update (LPU)

In addition to the sites provided for in the adopted Wokingham Local Plan 2006-2026, focussed largely on the strategic development locations, a number of further development locations or clusters, are being considered. Combined with updated information about the development pipeline, (to include windfalls and greenfield sites not specifically provided for in the adopted Local Plan) these are the subject of this transport study. Figure 1 illustrates the location of the sites included in the LPU. The LPU will set out planning policies to manage development until up to the year 2036.

One of the key reasons for needing the LPU is that the Government has recently updated the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the supporting guidance. This includes a new, standard approach for calculating the number of homes each local authority must plan for.

Neighbouring Councils

Neighbouring local authorities to Wokingham Borough are also in the process of producing new local plans. National planning policy requires cross boundary cooperation to share as much information as possible to reach agreements on strategic matters. Local authorities where impacts will need to be considered include Bracknell Forest Council (BFC), Reading Borough Council (RBC), West Berkshire District Council (WBDC), Hart District Council (HDC) and Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM). There may also be other local authorities that are not immediately adjacent to Wokingham, but are important to engage with given strategic issues, for example due to the Strategic Road Network extending into wider areas and commuting patterns.

Neighbouring authorities, namely Basingstoke and Dean Borough Council (BDDC), Bracknell Forest Council (BFC), Hart District Council (HDC), Reading Borough Council (RBC), West Berkshire District Council (WBDC), Wycombe District Council (WDC), Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) and South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Council (SOVWHDC), were contacted and their local plan and proposed mitigation elements, where known, have been included in this assessment within the Reference Cases. Development plans from these authorities were used to inform the uncertainty log and hence the Reference Case scenarios. This report does not at this time define cross boundary contributions associated with projected highway impact. This would be the subject of a further review.

Scenarios Tested

The report details the forecasting assumptions and processes used to develop the 2036 Reference Case (Scenarios A and B) which include part of the Grazeley Garden Settlement, but without the rest of the potential development allocations. The Reference Case includes committed development and adopted Local Plan development sites. It also includes projected background growth applied by way of National Trip End Model (NTEM) and Trip End Model Presentation Program (TEMPRO) growth determined using TEMPRO’s alternative assumption facility.

The only difference between Scenario A and B is the number of dwellings allocated at the Grazeley Garden Settlement. Both Scenarios have 7,000 allocated at the Grazeley Garden Settlement, they differentiate as follows:

 Scenario A – all 7,000 dwellings allocated at the Grazeley Garden Settlement are inside the Wokingham Borough Council boundaries; and

 Scenario B – 5,000 dwellings allocated at the Grazeley Garden Settlement are inside the Wokingham Borough Council boundaries and 2,000 dwellings are allocated at the West Berkshire Council boundaries.

The 7,000 dwellings are based on a hypothetical build out rate that is considered to be roughly the maximum that might be achievable in the plan period. It is acknowledged that the LPU itself assumes a more cautious build out of 3,750 in the plan period.

The NTEM dataset represents the Department for Transport’s (DfT) standard assumptions about growth in travel demand expressed in units of trip ends. The TEMPro software is used to view and analyse NTEM data. The use of NTEM is a standard approach, based on growth predictions produced by Department for Transport which reflects forecast growth in housing and employment at a District/Borough level.

The alternative assumptions facility in TEMPro, is used to adjust NTEM trip ends to exclude committed and proposed strategic development sites for which the trip ends will be calculated separately and explicitly ‘point loaded’ in the transport model area. This process avoids any double counting of trips associated with specific sites and the growth included within NTEM.

Committed developments and highway infrastructure from neighbouring authorities have also been included in the 2036 Reference Case models (Scenarios A and B). All development that has been

J:\46807 – Wokingham LPU Modelling\Transport\Working 10 Documents\Reports\#Report 1\Wokingham Modelling Local Plan Update Transport Assessment Report_Final.docx Transport Assessment Report Wokingham Local Plan Update

included was compiled from information provided by the neighbouring authorities either directly or by way of their publicly available published development plans online. This information was then collated and compiled by Stantec to produce a record of development and infrastructure assumptions used to inform the Reference Case models.

In addition to the Reference Case Scenarios A and B, The Council required that potential LPU scenarios (collectively identified as Scenario C) be tested. It was specified within the brief that Scenario C be based on Scenario B to include additional development cluster sites around the borough which are located outside Grazeley. The outputs for Scenario A and B are very similar, therefore utilising just Scenario B is a proportionate approach.

Four Scenario C variations were tested and are termed Scenarios C1, C2, C3 and C4 in this report. Scenario B has therefore formed the 2036 Reference Case and hence the baseline against which the emerging Local Plan Scenarios C1, C2, C3 andC4 have been tested and compared.

The 2036 Reference Case models assume approximately an additional 54,000 dwellings coming forward within the study area in the period up to 2036, over and above those built by 2015. The study area extends beyond the Wokingham Local Plan area and includes neighbouring local authorities such as Slough Borough Council (SBC), West Berkshire Council (WBEC), Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council (BDDC), Bracknell Forest Council (BFC), Hart District Council (HDC), Reading Borough Council (RBC), Wycombe District Council (WDC), Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead (RBWM) and South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Council (SOVWHDC).

Figure 2: Study Area

Following the creation of the 2036 Reference Case (baseline forecast, Scenario B), the Local Plan Scenario models were developed by adding the corresponding Local Plan development on top of the Reference Case demands.

The list of Local Plan development scenarios assumed are summarised at the Table 1 below. Scenario 4 was tested after WBC had reviewed initial findings from Scenarios C1 to C3 and was able to refine more specific quanta and related assumptions for the scenario as separate site assessments and decision making progressed. Quanta specific to Scenario 4 where applicable, can also be seen in Table 1 alongside Scenarios C1 to C3 assumptions. In all scenarios, a tick (✓) indicates proposed LPU sites included in that particular scenario, while a cross (x) indicates sites excluded from the scenario.

For each of the land uses, the industry standard Trip Rate Information Computer System (TRICS) has been used to derive the number of trips generated by the specific development. The geographical categorisation used within TRICS has been used to inform the trip rates for the different locations of

the Local Plan development sites, recognising that different locations are likely to generate different levels of traffic. This is an industry wide software see link below5

Analysis of Impacts

The results of the forecast scenarios were analysed to understand the impact of the LPU proposals when compared to the Reference Case Scenario B. The model outputs include identification of congestion hotspots identified through the use of the Volume to Capacity (V/C) ratio. The V/C ratio is a measure of congestion which compares flows against capacity. A V/C ratio of 0.85 is commonly considered to be the threshold at which congested conditions become evident leading to increased queues, delays and general poor level of service. A V/C of 1.00 indicates that a specific arm of a junction is operating at capacity.

Key junctions were identified as requiring potential intervention through an assessment of those junctions with high volume to capacity ratios (V/C). The following thresholds were assumed in the analysis:

 V/C < 0.85 (acceptable level of performance, not included);

 0.85 < V/C < 0.9 (colour coded yellow);

 0.9 < V/C < 1 (colour coded orange); and

 V/C > 1 (colour coded red).

The outputs of these model runs have been double-checked to ensure that they are robust and meet accepted industry standards and can be relied upon to understand the impacts of the emerging Local Plan.

Other performance measures used in the analysis include delays and flow changes.

Conclusion

The results indicate that there was little difference in the performance of the Reference Case Scenarios A and B and hence conclusions drawn from comparing the Scenario C LPU impacts against Scenario B, would be equally valid if the comparison were based on Scenario A as Reference Case. This was more so when considering the V/C ratio outputs.

The results also indicate that there were a number of junctions within the borough, that experience high V/C ratios greater than 0.85 in the Reference Cases Scenarios A and B and hence are experiencing congested conditions.

The impacts of the LPU were made by comparison against Scenario B and these generally showed that the LPU development proposals did not result in significant deterioration in network performance at a strategic level. In the main, outputs such as V/C ratio in the Scenario C options, were of similar order of magnitude to their equivalent Reference Case Scenario B. The results did not identify any obvious need for strategic mitigation as a result of the proposed LPU development clusters.

The analysis considered impacts on junctions inside Wokingham Borough Council boundaries and in Neighbouring Local Authorities and the results across both geographies largely indicated similar trends, i.e. no obvious standout differences in performance between the with LPU Scenario C and the Reference Case.

In summary, the key findings are that:

J:\46807 – Wokingham LPU Modelling\Transport\Working 14 Documents\Reports\#Report 1\Wokingham Modelling Local Plan Update Transport Assessment Report_Final.docx Transport Assessment Report Wokingham Local Plan Update

 The emerging Local Plan transport study evidence base has followed best practice to update the WSTM4 model, develop future forecasts and undertake testing in order to understand the network impacts of the potential development scenarios considered for the LPU to 2036;

 In the baseline scenario (Scenario B and Scenario A), a number of junctions already experience capacity issues. With the proposed development LPU scenario without mitigation, the order of magnitude of the V/C ratios were largely comparable with and without the LPU;

 When compared to the Reference Case, the wider impacts of Scenarios C1, C2, C3 and C4 are shown to be small. This has mainly been evident from the small changes in Volume to Capacity ratios (VC) of each of the LPU Scenarios C1 to C4 when compared to those of the Reference Case. This means that the modelling has not identified a need for strategic schemes to mitigate the impacts of the LPU beyond those already programmed into the model associated with the committed SDLs

 It is considered that mitigation measures will have to be considered at a localised level when transport assessments or planning applications are submitted for specific developments at that time. It is noted that strategic infrastructure already proposed as part of the adopted local plan are still valid and appear to be adequate to accommodate the demands placed by the proposed LPU Scenario C developments.

 This report has therefore not undertaken strategic modelling for Scenario D (i.e. effectively Scenario C plus transport interventions). Identification and individual junction assessments of proposed mitigation will be undertaken outside the strategic model given the localised nature of the impacts of the proposed LPU developments.

 The modelling indicates that some nodes at M4 Junction 11 are shown to be slightly worse than the Reference Case with the LPU in place. This is the case in the AM peak only.

1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

1.1.1 Stantec, has been commissioned to undertake strategic transport modelling and assessment for Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) to understand the impact of planned future housing and employment growth, on the highway network. The outputs will be used as part of the evidence base in preparation of the LPU. This Transport Assessment will create an understanding of the impact of the planned growth and identify a mitigation strategy if applicable.

1.1.2 For the purpose of the transport modelling assessment, computer modelling software has been used to understand transport patterns in the area.

1.1.3 The purpose of this report is to discuss the methodology and results of the development scenario testing to help inform WBC’s LPU. The report also forms part of the transport evidence base to support the LPU.

1.2 Local Plan

1.2.1 Currently WBC is undertaking a review of the adopted development plan policy. Currently both the Core Strategy Local Plan and the Managing Development Delivery look forward to 2026. WBC are currently preparing an update which will put in place the spatial strategy and planning policies until 2036.

1.2.2 To support the preparation of the Local Plan, a number of scenarios are to be tested to assess the impact of local growth. This will then identify any implications of development on certain sites and consequently ascertain which sites are suitable for allocation and any works that are necessary to mitigate.

1.3 Grazeley Garden Settlement

1.3.1 Work has been undertaken to assess and model the impact of a Garden Settlement at Grazeley as part of a joint bid to the Government’s Housing Infrastructure Funding (HIF) by Wokingham Borough Council, along with West Berkshire and Reading councils. The HIF bid seeks £252 million infrastructure funding to help put in place key infrastructure in advance of housing, in accordance with the wishes of residents.

1.3.2 The potential for a Grazeley Garden Settlement has been progressed jointly by the authorities over a number of years. Grazeley Garden Settlement has the potential to provide a sustainable mixed use settlement of 15,000 new homes with employment, community uses, and open space. It is expected that 10,000 homes would be located within Wokingham Borough and cover a major part of the council’s housing needs until 2036.

1.3.3 Masterplanning work6 on Grazeley and a number of other larger sites has suggested that Grazeley could provide the most viable strategic scale development option to accommodate a large proportion of housing need in Wokingham and beyond. However, further modelling needs to be undertaken to understand the cumulative impacts of Grazeley and inform theLPU evidence base. It is expected that Grazeley will deliver 3,750 dwellings in the plan period, but for the purposes of the LPU has been modelled to be consistent with the assumptions made in the Homes and Infrastructure Funding (HIF) bid. The full capacity of Grazeley is expected to

be 15,000 dwellings, with the assumption for the bid being that 7,000 would be delivered by the end of the plan period.

1.3.4 For the purposes of the assessments reported here, the impacts are reported to demonstrate the situation over and above Grazeley which is assumed as the reference case due to the significant opportunities it presents.

1.4 Modelled Scenarios

1.4.1 This report discusses the scenarios which have tested and analysed using the WSTM4 model for the 2036 forecast year. This includes two future scenarios without the local plan proposals, and four scenarios with additional local plan growth added. These scenarios will be used to inform the impact of traffic growth from additional housing and employment up to 2036.

1.4.2 The following scenarios have been modelled and assessed:

 Scenario A includes all committed developments in the council’s existing development plan, additional sites with planning permission both within the borough and surrounding area, development proposed in neighbouring authorities’ emerging local plans, and 7,000 dwellings at Grazeley Garden Settlement located all within Wokingham. This is 3,250 above the expected number to be delivered within Wokingham by the end of the plan period. In terms of Grazeley this is a worse-case scenario.

 Scenario B is the same as Scenario A, with the exception of the 7,000 dwellings at Grazeley Garden Settlement of which 5,000 are located within Wokingham District and 2,000 dwellings within the West Berkshire District. The assumed dwellings within Wokingham part of Grazeley, is 1,250 greater than the expected build out by end of plan period.

 Scenario C includes additional development sites within Wokingham Borough associated with the LPU. A series of tests have been undertaken with different assumptions on site locations and quantum of development. These tests are labelled Scenario C1 to C4. The outputs from these tests are compared with the Scenario A and B tests to understand the impact of the additional growth.

1.4.3 Scenario A and B are known as Reference Case scenarios.

2 The Transport Model

2.1 Introduction

2.1.1 The Wokingham Strategic Transport Model (WSTM4) has underpinned the transport modelling required to understand the impact of planned growth on the network. The WSTM47 was developed by WSP in 2016.

2.1.2 The purpose of the WSTM4 was for scheme and development assessments in Wokingham, negotiations with adjacent authorities, Highways and Network Rail, assessing car parks management and re-development proposals in the borough and for the assessment of a new bridge across the River Thames east of the Reading and the development of the Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC)8.

2.1.3 WBC is currently undertaking a review of the Local Plan and the WSTM4 has been used to test the highway impacts of the development proposals. The model tests will help Wokingham Borough Council to prepare their new local plan which will put into place the updated spatial strategy and set out planning policies.

2.2 Overview of the model

2.2.1 The WSTM4 consists of a strategic highway and public transport (PT) assignment model. The whole model suite of the WSTM4 including the demand model, are coded using PTV VISUM software. The highway and PT assignment models interact with a demand model to represent variable demand modelling (VDM) in accordance with the Department for Transport’s (DfT) Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG) Unit M29.

2.2.2 TAG is the DfT web based good practice guidance for transport modelling and scheme appraisal. The guidance distinguishes between fixed trip assignment (FTM) and variable demand modelling. In FTM, it is assumed that network demand only responds to network conditions by changing routes, with no change to the demand or trips specified in the model usually by way of a trip matrix which describes the number of trips between origins and destinations.

2.2.3 In VDM, travellers can also respond through other behavioural mechanisms such as choosing not to travel, changing mode, changing the time at which they travel, change destination or change trip frequency amongst other responses. In the case of the WSTM4, the responses represented in addition to route choice are trip frequency, mode choice and trip distribution.

2.2.4 The highway model represents an average weekday (Monday to Thursday) and consists of three time periods as follows:

 AM peak hour representing hourly traffic conditions between 08:00 and 09:00;

 Inter peak average hour, representing average hourly traffic conditions between 10:00 and 16:00; and

 PM peak hour representing hourly traffic conditions between 17:00 and 18:00.

J:\46807 – Wokingham LPU Modelling\Transport\Working 18 Documents\Reports\#Report 1\Wokingham Modelling Local Plan Update Transport Assessment Report_Final.docx Transport Assessment Report Wokingham Local Plan Update

2.2.5 The highway model consists of five (5) user classes comprising of car commute, car employer/business, car other, Light Goods Vehicles (LGV) and Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV).

2.2.6 WSTM4 comprises a full demand model, which has separate highway and public transport assignment models that interact with each other under the control of the demand model.

2.2.7 TAG Unit M2 in relation to VDM, states that “any change to transport conditions will, in principle, cause a change in demand.”. The purpose of variable demand modelling is to predict and quantify these changes.

2.2.8 In keeping with TAG Unit M2, the Variable Demand Model (VDM) form is a nested hierarchical logit model and interacts with the supply or highway assignment model. This accounted for any suppression effects that might arise as a result of the constraints placed by network capacity on demands. It was developed to represent the following travel behavioural responses:

 Trip frequency;

 Mode choice;

 Trip distribution.

2.2.9 The WSTM4 highway and PT model was calibrated and validated using VISUM version 17.01.04. The demand model was coded and validated using VISUM 15.00.15. The documentation in support of the base model development, calibration and validation, including highway, PT and demand modelling was undertaken by and provided by WSP. The reports are listed below as follows:

 Wokingham Strategic Transport Model 4 (WSTM4) – Data Collection Report, March 2017; documents the data used in developing the WSTM4;

 Wokingham Strategic Transport Model 4 (WSTM4) – Local Model Validation Report, March 2017; - includes the processes used in developing the VDM with the WSTM4 modelling all done in VISUM 15;

 Wokingham Strategic Transport Model 4 (WSTM4) – Local Model Validation Report, May 2018; - This became necessary in order to overcome model convergence issues that were identified by WSP in their use of the model in (ii) above during future year testing. The base year assignment models were updated to VISUM 17;

 Wokingham Strategic Transport Model 4 (WSTM4) – Local Model Validation Report Addendum, December 2018; - This is an addendum to (iii) above in respect of the VDM including PT validation results and realism testing results. The VDM processes themselves are described in document (ii).

2.2.10 The reports mentioned above include further documentation of the base model calibration process, the variable demand modelling methodology process and the subsequent model validation results.

2.2.11 In general, the model achieves an acceptable level of validation in accordance to TAG. This includes highway model validation (meet at a guidance accepted level real conditions) and convergence (the seek for network stability), and convergence between the demand model and supply model as measured by % Gap (the difference between the costs along the chosen routes and those along the minimum cost routes, summed across the whole network, and expressed as a percentage of the minimum costs, usually known as 'Delta' or the ‘%GAP). In addition, the variable demand model (VDM) achieved the required realism testing elasticity values as specified in TAG Unit M2. The documents listed above, together document the

processes and results that demonstrate that the WSTM4 is a suitable tool from which to develop future forecasts.

3 Forecasting Methodology

3.1 Introduction

3.1.1 The potential highway network impacts of proposed LPU development were assessed using the WSTM4 model. Forecast year models representing a 2036 forecast year, the end of the emerging Local Plan period were created. Currently the local plan looks forwards to 2026 and WBC are preparing the new local plan which will be updated to the year 2036. In order to understand the impacts of future development proposals using the transport model, it was necessary to develop 2036 forecast models of the scenarios of interest. This section outlines the modelled scenarios and the forecasting methodology used to develop them.

3.1.2 The modelling has been undertaken for the following scenarios:

 Scenario A includes all committed developments in the council’s existing development plan, additional sites with planning permission, development proposed in neighbouring authorities’ emerging local plans, and 7,000 dwellings at Grazeley garden settlement all located within Wokingham.

 Scenario B includes all committed developments in the council’s existing development plan, additional sites with planning permission, development proposed in neighbouring authorities’ emerging local plans, and 7,000 dwellings at Grazeley Garden Settlement from which 5,000 are located within Wokingham District and 2,000 dwellings within the West Berkshire District.

 Scenario C is based on Scenario B but includes additional development sites within Wokingham Borough. These are split into four testing scenarios C1, C2, C3 and C4. Scenario C2 builds on additional development clusters from Scenario C1 and Scenario C3 builds on C1 and C2. A further Scenario C4 with its own specific development assumptions, comprising additional and/or removal of some developments, was formulated by WBC and also tested.

3.1.3 The purpose of the modelling is to determine the impact of the potential developments on the local highway network based on sets of forecasting assumptions.

3.1.4 It can be seen that Scenarios A and B represent a future including Grazeley but without the other LPU proposals in place. They can be viewed as Reference Case scenarios upon which the LPU proposals are added (other than Grazeley). They form baselines against which the impacts of the LPU Scenario C can be compared. As noted, Scenario C was based on Scenario B and hence in this work, Scenario B is the Reference Case against which the impacts of the local plan proposals have been compared.

3.2 Development of Reference Case Forecasts

3.2.1 WBC required that forecasts for the without LPU Scenarios A and B be created (also known as Reference Case scenarios in this reporting). The methodology of creating these reference case scenarios followed standard industry practice on forecasting including application to developing forecasts in the context of Local Plans. The approach broadly considered the following:

• Committed developments in the council’s existing development plan as well as additional sites with planning permission. This includes Strategic Development Locations (SDL) and their associated infrastructure in the current or adopted local plan;

• 7,000 dwellings at Grazeley Garden Settlement. Assumptions on Grazeley are further discussed in Section 3.3.

J:\46807 – Wokingham LPU Modelling\Transport\Working 21 Documents\Reports\#Report 1\Wokingham Modelling Local Plan Update Transport Assessment Report_Final.docx Transport Assessment Report Wokingham Local Plan Update

• Development proposed in neighbouring authorities’ emerging local plans. The treatment of committed and other developments in the Reference Case scenarios is further discussed in Section 3.6.

• Application of background traffic growth factors derived from Department for Transport’s (DfT) National Trip End Model (NTEM) data. NTEM data was accessed using the Trip End Model Presentation Program (TEMPro).

• For the purposes of this work, the NTEM v7.2 dataset was used within TEMPro to derive the growth factors. The NTEM dataset was further adjusted by using the ‘alternative planning assumptions’ facility within TEMPro to avoid any potential for ‘double counting’ in the Reference Case Scenarios A and B. NTEM application is discussed further in Section 3.7.

3.2.2 In addition to the development proposals, the Reference Case scenarios also included committed infrastructure schemes within the study area as well as all planned schemes in the adopted local plan. Infrastructure schemes included any committed highway and public transport schemes.

3.2.3 In order to expedite the coding of infrastructure schemes in the Reference Case Scenarios, the 2026 forecast model network originally built by WSP was used a starting point as it contained the schemes in the adopted local plan. Further details on infrastructure assumptions can be found in Section 3.8.

3.3 Grazeley Garden Settlement

3.3.1 The modelling has assumed two different scenarios in terms of the Grazeley development included.

3.3.2 The difference between Scenarios A and B Grazeley assumptions is illustrated in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2. Within Scenario A, all 7,000 dwellings are located within the Wokingham District boundary. Within Scenario B, 5,000 of the dwellings are located within the Wokingham District Boundary and 2,000 located within the West Berkshire District boundary. Figure 3-1 shows the model zones which residential developments are located within for Scenario A and Figure 3-2 shows the model zones where the residential developments are located for Scenario B.

3.3.3 The zones utilised in Scenario A and B for Grazeley are based on the outline masterplan prepared to support the HIF Bid. They have been chosen to provide a site wide coverage to address the multiple developers within those areas, providing each an allocation in these scenarios. However, it should be noted that these zone loaders are not critical in terms of the strategic modelling they are simply utilised to allow trips from across the whole site to be distributed internally and externally, as such changes to these connectors would have no material impact on the current outputs.

3.4 Neighbouring Authorities

3.4.1 Neighbouring local authorities to Wokingham Borough are also in the process of producing new local plans. National planning policy requires cross boundary cooperation to share as much information as possible to reach agreements on strategic matters. Local authorities where impacts will need to be considered include Bracknell Forest Council (BFC), Reading Borough Council (RBC), West Berkshire District Council (WBDC), Hart District Council (HDC) and Royal Borough of Windsor Maidenhead (RBWM). There may also be other local

J:\46807 – Wokingham LPU Modelling\Transport\Working 23 Documents\Reports\#Report 1\Wokingham Modelling Local Plan Update Transport Assessment Report_Final.docx Transport Assessment Report Wokingham Local Plan Update

authorities that are not immediately adjacent to Wokingham, but are important to engage with given strategic issues, for example due to the Strategic Road Network extending into wider areas and commuting patterns.

3.4.2 Neighbouring authorities, namely Basingstoke and Dean Borough Council (BDDC), Bracknell Forest Council (BFC), Hart District Council (HDC), Reading Borough Council (RBC), West Berkshire District Council (WBDC), Wycombe District Council (WDC), Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) and South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Council (SOVWHDC), were contacted to provide details of commitments in their development plans.

3.4.3 Responses ranged from the provision of detailed list of development and/or infrastructure information, or referral to online documentation where their proposals were retrieved. Development plans from these authorities were used as appropriate to inform the development assumptions in the Reference Case scenarios.

3.5 Application of Trip Rates for Developments

3.5.1 In order to explicitly account for trips due to committed developments, appropriate trips rates were applied to the development quanta. These rates were derived from the TRICS database and were used to provide the level of trip generation. TRICS is an industry standard software for provision of trip rates for developments.

3.5.2 The TRICS trip rates were retained from those used by WBC in developing the WSTM4 model. The trip rates are shown in Table 3– 1 (Car and LGV) and Table 3-2 (HGV). The list of committed developments and the process is described in further detail in Section 3-6.

3.6 Committed Developments

3.6.1 Demand data for the forecasts was generated by increasing the number of trips from the base year of 2015. This was done by incorporating the strategic development locations and other allocated sites within Wokingham and committed development within Slough Borough Council (SBC), West Berkshire Council (WBEC), Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council (BDDC), Bracknell Forest Council (BFC), Hart District Council (HDC), Reading Borough Council (RBC), Wycombe District Council (WDC), Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead (RBWM) and South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Council (SOVWHDC) where they fall within the study area.

3.6.2 A summary of development assumptions that have been included within the 2036 Scenario A and B models is shown in Table 3-3. The summary shows the number of dwellings and size of employment/warehousing/industry (in square meters – sqm) by district area. A full list of the developments included in the Reference Case scenarios is given in Appendix A. A map of the location of the developments is shown in Figure 3-3.

3.6.3 The distribution of trips to and from the sites has been taken from an existing zone within the model which is deemed to have similar characteristics in terms of land use and location. These zones are referred as donor zones and are shown as a column in the Reference Case assumptions in Appendix A. Trip distribution represents the spatial pattern of trips in terms of their origins and destinations.

3.7 National Trip End Model and Background Growth

3.7.1 The Scenarios A and B have been created assuming a level of background growth. National assumptions about background growth in travel demand are provided by DfT through the NTEM dataset. This dataset is based on predicted planning and demographic assumptions for future years, produced at District/Borough level.

3.7.2 In order to avoid double counting, the background growth application considers the following:

i. Committed development growth;

ii. Background growth outside the immediate study area; and

iii. Grazeley Garden Settlement.

3.7.3 Future growth predicted within Wokingham Borough has been removed in NTEM to take account of the fact that the purpose of the study is to understand the impact of the LPU proposals on the highway network. i.e. no growth over above the committed development growth is included.

3.7.4 Trip end growth in modelled zones which do not contain any new development in the future has been ascertained from TEMPro, using NTEM v7.2.

3.7.5 Using GIS software, the model zones were overlaid over the NTEM zones to establish the appropriate growth factor for the model zones. For a few modelled zones, the zone fell into more than one NTEM zone, in which case the NTEM zone into which the largest area of the model zone fell, was used.

3.7.6 The committed employment development details generally are referred in terms of gross floor area, rather than jobs. Employment densities have therefore been used to convert floor area to jobs. These densities are taken from the TRICS sites used to generate trip rates. They have also been sense checked against the 3rd edition (November 2015) of the Home and Communities Agency’s ‘Employment Densities guide’.

3.7.7 Within TEMPro, alternative planning assumptions were applied to subtract the development jobs and households from the NTEM forecasts. This allows the total trip end growth to be corrected to be consistent with NTEM. The development jobs were subtracted pro rata from all NTEM zones within the various areas.

3.7.8 Committed development information provided for the various areas listed in Tables 3-3 and 3-4 are also used within the model development and the NTEM growth factors for these areas was adjusted downwards accordingly, to avoid double counting.

3.7.9 Background NTEM growth outside the immediate study area, where no specific committed developments are included, are extracted from NTEM and used unadjusted.

3.7.10 TEMPro forecasts are the same for both Scenarios A and B. This is due to the additional dwellings as a result of Scenario B being additional to the number of dwellings located within the West Berkshire District and consequently do not affect the TEMPro growth factors between the Scenarios.

3.7.11 The TEMPro growth factors representing background growth from 2015 to 2036 are shown in Appendix B. They include both the unadjusted and adjusted alternative assumption trip growth factors for the areas which have committed developments. The factors are given for car driver by trip purposes commute, employer business and other and also by time periods AM, Inter Peak and PM. The information was developed at Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) level.

4 Scenario A and B Results

4.1 Introduction

4.1.1 This section provides an analysis of the 2036 forecast model for Scenario A and B to identify locations of the network that are already congested and have a poor level of service in the Reference Case scenarios. The suitability of the models to provide stable and reliable results has been checked by looking at the convergence outputs and these were found to meet DfT guidance criteria. Convergence outputs can be found in Appendix C.

4.1.2 Following this introduction, this section reports on the results of the matrix changes as a result of the VDM. As previously noted, VDM was undertaken in the Reference Case scenarios in order to have confidence that the baseline demands assigned to the network were consistent with network capacity. Without VDM, excessive demand might result in excessive congestion in the network potentially leading to excessive and unrealistic delays, queues and journey times.

4.1.3 This section also identifies congestion hotspots in Reference Case scenarios. These are locations which are already exhibiting poor levels of service without the proposed LPU demands but including Grazeley. Volume to Capacity ratio (V/C) has been used to identify these congested locations as explained in Section 4.3.

4.2 Pre and Post VDM Matrix Changes

4.2.1 This section reports on the matrix changes between Scenario A and B prior to application of VDM (Pre VDM) and after the application of VDM (post VDM matrices). This accounted for any suppression effects that might arise as a result of the constraints placed by network capacity on demands when the unconstrained Reference Case Forecasts are assigned. Before VDM, the demands in the matrices may not be consistent with available network capacity leading to unrealistic delays and congestion.

4.2.2 VDM adjusts the unconstrained demand resulting in post VDM demands that are more consistent with network capacity. A summary of the trip numbers for the reference case before VDM and post VDM without the scheme are shown in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 for highway trips and PT trips. The results generally show modest differences between the Pre VDM and Post VDM matrices. The results are reasonable and show that the models are behaving logically. In the main, the Post VDM car matrices are noticeably lower than the Pre VDM matrices and the difference represents suppressed demand i.e. those trips that would not be able to be made because of capacity constraints in the network.

4.3 Volume Capacity Ratios

4.3.1 A series of figures have been included within the Appendices E, F and G which show the volume capacity (V/C) ratios of the junctions in key areas surrounding Wokingham. The V/C is a measure of how a junction or link performs, when comparing the volume of traffic, against the capacity.

4.3.2 A V/C ratio greater than 1.00 indicates that the flows are equal to or exceed capacity, hence congestion might be expected at these junctions. In practice, it is widely considered within the industry, that junction or link performance begins to suffer when V/C ratios reach about 0.85 with rapid deterioration in network performance experienced. This includes an increase in queues and delays. Therefore, the figures displayed show where there are junctions that have a greater than 0.85 V/C ratio.

4.3.3 An analysis has been undertaken to identify the worst performing junctions in Scenario A and B. The key parameter that has been used is the volume to capacity ratio (V/C). The following thresholds have been assumed in the analysis:

 V/C < 0.85 (not shown on the maps in Appendices E, F and G);

J:\46807 – Wokingham LPU Modelling\Transport\Working 32 Documents\Reports\#Report 1\Wokingham Modelling Local Plan Update Transport Assessment Report_Final.docx Transport Assessment Report Wokingham Local Plan Update

 V/C 0.85 < 0.9 (colour coded yellow in maps in Appendices E, F and G);

 V/C 0.9 < 1 (colour coded orange in maps in Appendices E, F and G); and

 V/C > 1 (colour coded red in maps in Appendices E, F and G).

4.4 Summary of Reference Case Performance in Wokingham

4.4.1 This section has presented the results of network performance for the Reference Case Scenarios A and B. These scenarios represent what network conditions might be without the proposed LPU development in 2036 but inclusive of Grazeley. The results indicate that there will be some junctions that will experience congestion and hence poor levels of service in both Scenarios A and B. This is best illustrated by those junctions with high volume to capacity ratios in particular those with values equal to or greater than 1.00 indicating that flows equal or exceeds junction capacity on at least one movement at the junctionwith consequent longer queues and delays.

4.4.2 The key junctions showing high Volume to capacity ratios are shown in Table 4-3 for the AM peak and Table 4-4 for the PM peak.

4.4.3 Overall, there are many similarities between the Maximum Volume Capacity Ratios in Scenarios A and B in the Wokingham District Boundary.

4.4.4 In the AM peak Scenario A, 17 out of the 67 junctions have a Maximum Volume to Capacity Ratio of over 1.00, while for the AM peak Scenario B 15 out of 67 junctions are over 1.00 of which 12 of them are common to both scenarios.

4.4.5 In the PM peak 14 out of the 67 junctions in Scenario A have a Maximum Volume Capacity Ratio of over 1.00, while in Scenario B 17 out of 67 junctions are over 1.00 of which 14 of them are common to both.

4.4.6 With respect to the supporting infrastructure for Grazeley these schemes have been designed to optimum capacity within the strategic model. These will be subject to additional localised modelling as part of any future planning application and if required design characteristics can be amended at that time to address can capacity issues.

4.4.7 Mill Lane Bridge consistently has a Maximum V/C of 1.1 in the AM and 1.2 in the PM Peak in Scenarios A and B and therefore, is one of the worst performing locations of the network within the Wokingham District Boundary. The priority junction at London Road/Shepherds Hill Junction Westbound also performs poorly in the AM Peak Period in both Scenarios A and B with a Maximum V/C ratio of 1.1 in both scenarios.

4.4.8 Those junctions with V/C in excess of 1.0 may be subject to additional localised modelling to seek to improve the capacity compared to the strategic model output. These junctions and links may be related to an existing issue and not materially affected by the future development. WBC will seek to review these localised issues and if appropriate look to mitigate. However, certain junctions or links may not have a suitable mitigation scheme as such wider network mitigation may be required to address those limited localised issues.

4.4.9 While there are some slight differences between Scenarios A and B, these are not material differences.

5 Local Plan Development Scenario C

5.1 Introduction

5.1.1 This section reports on the development proposals for the LPU. This scenario is termed Scenario C and comprises of various levels development quanta and spatial configuration. To date, four such scenarios termed Scenario C1, Scenario C2, Scenario C3 and Scenario C4 have been modelled. These are now explained below.

5.2 Scenario C

5.2.1 Scenario C is based on Scenario B but consists of additional Local Development sites within the , these are largely grouped small sites in order to understand the cumulative impact of the relevant sites.

5.2.2 The clusters displayed in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 show where the developments are located within the Borough of Wokingham. These are split into the Scenarios C1, C2, C3 and C4.

Figure 5-2: Development Sites for Scenario C4

5.2.3 The definition of the four Scenario C proposals is shown below and in Table 5-1:

 Scenario C1 includes all the clusters checked in C1;

 Scenario C2 includes all the clusters checked in C2;

 Scenario C3 includes all the clusters checked in C3; and

 Scenario C4 includes all the sites checked in column C4.

5.2.4 Table 5-1 shows the site reference, proposed use and capacity for the development clusters in the Wokingham Plan update which are to be included as part of the modelling for Scenario C. It also shows which Scenario each of the site clusters are included in. Furthermore, the table labels the zone which the development cluster is located within and the donor zone. The donor zone is a zone with similar characteristics which can replicate the number of trips from the development.

6 Scenario C Results

6.1 Introduction

6.1.1 This section provides an analysis of the 2036 forecast model for Scenario C and its impacts on the network compared to the Reference Case Scenario B. Convergence statistics showing that the models are stable and suitable to use in the analysis are provided in Appendix D.

6.1.2 The key parameters that have been used to understand the network impacts of proposed LPU developments are delay differences in seconds, volume to capacity ratios (V/C) and flow differences. The comparisons have been undertaken between each of the Scenarios C1, C2, C3 and C4 and the Reference Case Scenario B.

6.2 Highway Demand

6.2.1 The Highway demand numbers for the Highway Model in each Scenario are reported as trips and are split by user class and time period. These are reported in Table 6-1, Table 6-2, Table 6-3 and Table 6-4 for Scenarios C1, C2, C3 and C4 respectively. These tables show both the number of trips for the highway model and for the clusters in each of the scenarios.

6.3 Delays

6.3.1 Delay differences for Scenario C1, C2, C3 and C4 when compared with Scenario B are shown in Appendix G. The delays are link delays in seconds. A positive value indicates that delays in Scenario C with the local plan are higher than delays in the Reference Case Scenario B.

6.3.2 The outputs highlight that the impact of the Local Plan developments at the strategic level is minimum.

6.4 Volume Capacity Ratios

6.4.1 As per Section 4.6, the Maximum Volume Capacity Ratio maps are located within Appendices E, F and G.

6.4.2 A summary of the worst performing junctions in the AM and PM peak period for Scenarios C1, C2, C3 and C4 within Wokingham District Boundary are shown in Table 6-5 and in Table 6-6.

6.5 Flow Difference

6.5.1 Flow differences for Scenario C1, C2, C3 and C4 with Scenario B are shown in Appendix H. A positive value indicates that the volume of flow in Scenario C with the local plan are higher than flows in the Reference Case Scenario B.

6.5.2 The outputs highlight that the level of flow increase generated by the Local Plan potential development sites, does not have a significant impact at a strategic level to the highway network.

6.6 Summary of Scenario C Performance in Wokingham Boundary

6.6.1 For the purpose of the summary of the performance Scenario C will be compared to the Scenario B Reference Case. The majority of junctions have been reported below that change category (as described in Section 4.6.1) or have a relatively large increase in Maximum V/C where they already have a max V/C above 1.00.

6.6.2 The worst performing junctions in Scenario C1, C2, C3 and C4 are listed in Table 6-5 and Table 6-6.

 Mill Lane bridge is the worst performing junction in all three C scenarios in the AM Peak period and PM peak period. For both time periods the Maximum V/C has increased from Scenario B to Scenario C1, C2, C3 and C4. This has a Maximum V/C of between 1.14 and 1.26 in all Scenarios for both time periods.

 London Road/Shepherds Hill Priority Junction Westbound also has a Maximum V/C over 1.14 for Scenario C1, C2, C3 and C4 in the AM peak period.

6.6.3 A summary is provided of the changes in Maximum V/C of the junctions in the AM Peak period between Scenario B (The Reference Case) and the Scenario C (LPU) tests.

 The A4/A329 roundabout had a Maximum V/C of 1.03 in Scenario B this increases to 1.06 in Scenario C1 and C2, 1.11 in Scenario C3 and to 1.07 in Scenario C4.

 A4 Westbound approach at Charvil A4/A3032 Roundabout increased from 0.98 in Scenario B to 1.03 in Scenario C1 and C2, 1.02 in Scenario C3 and 1 in Scenario C4.

 The signalised junction at Osbourne Rd/Wiltshire Rd/Norrey Ave increases from 0.86 in Scenario B to 0.89, 0.91, 0.93 and 0.89 in Scenario C1, C2, C3 and C4 respectively.

6.6.4 A summary is provided of the step changes in Maximum V/C of the junctions in the PM Peak period between Scenario C and Scenario B.

 The Three Mile Cross signalised junction has a Maximum V/C of 0.92 in Scenario B, C1 and C2 and this increased to 1.00 Scenario C3 and to 0.93 in Scenario C4.

 Shinfield Road/Eastern relief road increases from 0.93 in Scenario B to 1.00 in Scenario C3 and C4.

 The A4 Westbound approach at Charvil A4/A3032 Roundabout increased from 0.99 in Scenario B to 1.04 in Scenario C1, C2 and C3 and to 1.01 in Scenario C4.

 A327 Northbound at Black Boy Roundabout increases from 0.88 in Scenario B to 0.93 in Scenario C3 and 0.92 in Scenario C4 and B3430 Nine Mile Road / Heathlands Road increased from 0.83 in Scenario B to 0.91 in Scenario C3 and 0.84 in Scenario C4.

6.6.5 The results of the assessment do not indicate a need for further strategic highway mitigation to accommodate the LPU developments above the infrastructure already provided in the adopted Local Plan as the impact of the proposed developments have a minimum impact on the network at a strategic level. Mitigation will need to be considered at a localised or individual junction level the planning application stage and corridor improvements and public transport opportunities will be considered through the Local Transport Plan 4.

6.6.6 Those junctions with V/C in excess of 1.0 may be subject to additional localised modelling to seek to improve the capacity compared to the strategic model output. These junctions and links may be related to an existing issue and not materially affected by the future development. WBC will seek to review these localised issues and if appropriate look to mitigate. However, certain junctions or links may not have a suitable mitigation scheme as such wider network mitigation may be required to address those limited localised issues.

6.6.7 The following junctions in Table 6-7 are shown are to be overcapacity with the LPU development and are also shown to be slightly worse than the Reference Case, therefore further consideration needs to be given at a local level regarding their mitigation. A tick indicates the Scenario C proposals in which the junction is overcapacity in either one or both of the AM and PM peaks.

6.6.8 With respect to the supporting infrastructure for Grazeley these schemes have been designed to optimum capacity within the strategic model. These will be subject to additional localised modelling as part of any future planning application and if required design characteristics can be amended at that time to address can capacity issues.

6.7 Impact of Local Plan Update on Neighbouring Authorities

6.7.1 The modelling indicates that there are no junctions outside of Wokingham which are shown to be worse with the Local Plan development included.

6.8 Impact on the Strategic Road Network (SRN)

6.8.1 The modelling indicates that some nodes at M4 Junction 11 are shown to be slightly worse than the Reference Case with the LPU in place. This is the case in the AM peak only.

7 Summary

7.1 Conclusion

7.1.1 This study has set out the findings of the transport modelling and assessment work undertaken by Stantec for Wokingham Borough Council to inform the preparation of the Wokingham Local Plan Update (LPU) with a horizon to 2036. The LPU will review the policies and strategy of the adopted Wokingham Local Plan (LP) whilst also seeking to meet the latest identified needs of the Plan Area through to 2036.

7.1.2 In summary, the key findings are that:

 The emerging Local Plan transport study evidence base has followed best practice to update the WSTM4 model, develop future forecasts and undertake testing in order to understand the network impacts of the potential development scenarios considered for the LPU to 2036.

 In the baseline scenario (Scenario B and Scenario A), a number of junctions already experience capacity issues. While this is projected to get worse, with the proposed development LPU scenario without mitigation, the order of magnitude of the V/C ratios were largely comparable with and without the LPU.

 When compared to the Reference Case, the wider impacts of Scenarios C1, C2, C3 and C4 are shown to be small. This has mainly been evident from the small changes in Volume to Capacity ratios (VC) of each of the LPU Scenarios C1 to C4 when compared to those of the Reference Case. This means that the modelling has not identified a need for strategic schemes to mitigate the impacts of the LPU.

 It is considered that mitigation measures will have to be considered at a localised level when transport assessments or planning applications are submitted for specific developments at that time. It is noted that strategic infrastructure already proposed as part of the adopted local plan are still valid and appear to be adequate to accommodate the demands placed by the proposed LPU Scenario C developments.

 This report has therefore not undertaken strategic modelling for Scenario D (i.e. effectively Scenario C plus transport interventions). Identification and individual junction assessments of proposed mitigation will be undertaken outside the strategic model given the localised nature of the impacts of the proposed LPU developments.

 The modelling indicates that some nodes at M4 Junction 11 are shown to be slightly worse than the Reference Case with the LPU in place. This is the case in the AM peak only.

J:\46807 – Wokingham LPU Modelling\Transport\Working Documents\Reports\#Report 1\Wokingham Modelling Local Plan Update Transport Assessment Report_Final.docx 66 Transport Assessment Report Wokingham Local Plan Update – Transport Modelling

The analysis in this appendix, includes a presentation of convergence statistics to show that the Reference Case Scenario A and Scenario B models are stable and conform with DfT TAG for model convergence. Before the results of any traffic assignment are used to influence decisions, TAG requires that the stability and degree of convergence of the assignment must be confirmed at the appropriate level. Inadequate convergence is likely to result in unstable and unreliable forecasts. A converged assignment is one where the assigned flows and the resulting travel costs are consistent. Convergence also has to be achieved between the highway or supply model and demand model. A converged demand/supply loop is one where the demands are consistent with the travel costs in the supply model.

Convergence

This section reports on key parameters of the Scenarios A and B to demonstrate that the models are behaving logically and accord with DfT TAG. This includes consideration of:

 Demand Supply Gap to demonstrate convergence between robustness of the VDM and convergence;

 Highway Assignment Convergence and/or stability; and

 Highway and PT matrix changes between the Reference Case and post VDM assignments.

Demand – Supply Model Convergence

The Demand – Supply convergence is measured by the % gap between supply and demand curves. Perfectly converged models would have a % gap of zero. TAG recommends values of less than 0.2% (TAG Unit M2). Table C-1 shows the results for Scenario A and B are compliant with the TAG as the Demand Supple GAP percentages are 0.15% and 0.18% respectively.

Table C-1 Demand - Supply Convergence for Scenarios A and B Scenario Demand Supply GAP A 0.15% B 0.18%

Highway Assignment Model Convergence Scenario A and B

Convergence of the highway assignment models is necessary to providing robust and consistent model outputs that can be relied upon to inform subsequent economic appraisals. Better convergence gives confidence that model outputs are attributable to the impacts of any intervention proposals rather than ‘noise’ in the model. The main measure of convergence of assignment models is % Gap. TAG recommends a guideline target value of 0.1% or less. Additionally, TAG recommends that the proportion of links for which changes in in traffic volumes and/or link costs is less than 1% should be at least 98% for four consecutive iterations.

The Post VDM highway assignment convergence statistics are reported in Table C-2 and Table C-3. It is noted that the %Flow criteria are generally met in all scenarios.

Pre and Post VDM Matrix Changes

This section reports on the matrix changes between Scenario A and B prior to application of VDM (Pre VDM) and after the application of VDM (post VDM matrices). This accounted for any suppression effects that might arise as a result of the constraints placed by network capacity on demands when the unconstrained Reference Case Forecasts are assigned. Before VDM, the demands in the matrices may not be consistent with available network capacity leading to unrealistic delays and congestion. VDM adjusts the unconstrained demand resulting in post VDM demands that are more consistent with network capacity. A summary of the trip numbers for the reference case (before VDM) and post VDM without the scheme (DM) are shown in Table C-4 and Table C-5 for highway trips and PT trips. The results generally show modest differences between the Pre VDM and Post VDM matrices. The results are reasonable and show that the models are behaving logically. In the main, the Post VDM car matrices are noticeably lower than the Pre VDM matrices and the difference represents suppressed demand i.e. those trips that would not be able to be made because of capacity constraints in the network.

Demand-Supply Convergence

There is no demand – supply convergence to report for Scenarios C as the VDM element of the model was not used in these Scenarios. This is due to there being no public transport elements added to Scenario C that were not included in Scenarios A and B. This meant that there could then be a direct comparison between Scenarios A, B and C.

Highway Assignment Model Convergence

The Highway Assignment model convergence for Scenario C1, C2, C3 and C4 has been reported in Table D-1, Table D-2 and Table D-3. It is noted that convergence criteria are met for all time periods for all Scenario C models.
