1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Vectos is retained by United Welsh Housing Association and Ty Mill Developments Limited to provide transport advice in relation to a proposed development compromising 69 new residential dwellings at a brownfield site on Sanatorium Road, Cardiff.
1.2 This Transport Statement (TS) examines the opportunities for sustainable accessibility by all modes of travel and emphasises the excellent pedestrian and cycling links within the vicinity of the site. Whilst the focus is on mobility and sustainability, the traffic effect arising from the development is also considered.
1.3 The report has been produced in accordance with, and in recognition of, contemporary local national government guidelines including Welsh Government’s Technical Advice Note 18 and the Active Travel Wales Act (2013).
1.4 The remainder of the Transport Statement is as follows;
• Section 2 sets out the planning background; • Section 3 sets out the existing conditions; • Section 4 reviews contemporary policy; • Section 5 outlines the proposed development; • Section 6 provides an overview of highway effect; and • Section 7 summarises and concludes.

2 BACKGROUND
2.1 The site is located to the southeast of the former Arjo Wiggin Paper Mill site which was historically used for a range of industrial uses. The last large-scale use building closed in 1999 at the Paper Mill site, followed closely by the remaining smaller units, leaving a vacant brownfield site.
2.2 Through discussions undertaken with the Highway Officer at Cardiff Council, it has been requested that the Paper Mill site be incorporated within the assessment of the proposed development at Sanatorium Road
2.3 A planning application was agreed (subject to S106 conditions) in 2005 for the development of 900 residential dwellings and 4,000m2 of employment use (Reference 04/02749/W) at the former Paper Mill Site (The Mill development).
2.4 A further application was granted in September 2014 (12/01663/DCO) for discharge of conditions. Due to size and location of the site a Transport Assessment (TA) was prepared in September 2012 by ARUP, that considered the site as a whole. The scoping of the report was based on the previous consent and through dialogue with the local authority (Cardiff Council). An extract of ‘Figure 1’, from the Arup TA that shows the Site Location of The Mill development site is presented in Figure 2.1.

2.5 The existing traffic flows at the time of the study (undertaken June 2012) considered a number of junctions around the site, on the basis of a completion year of 2017. Various committed developments were considered as part of the assessment which included Ysgol Treganna on Sanitorium Road.
2.6 The land use mix for The Mill development (in full) is shown in Table 2.1.

2.7 The philosophy of the site masterplan is for a sustainable urban expansion, catering for the needs of cyclists, pedestrians and public transport users. On this basis, additional cycle / walking access points are proposed from the north of the site from Cowbridge Road West, from the northeast from Cowbridge Road East (upgrading underpass and new footbridge), from Sanatorium Road and from the southwest over the River Ely (a new bridge).
2.8 A route for buses will be available through the site from Cowbridge Road West to Sanitorium Road. A bus gate will be introduced to prevent general through traffic being able to use this route as a rat run to avoid the Western Avenue / Cowbridge Road East/West junction (known locally as Ely Bridge Roundabout). The Cowbridge Road West junction will form a left in left out arrangement for buses only, and residential vehicular access will only be possible via Sanitorium Road. This approach differs to previous proposals that included some vehicular access via Cowbridge Road West. This has been implemented to benefit local highway capacity, air quality, western bus priority corridor, car parking and prioritisation of sustainable transport.
2.9 The vehicle trip generation for The Mill development (provided in the Arup TA) was based on TRICs data and the resultant external vehicle trips forecast is shown in Table 2.2.
Table 2.2 – The Mill Development Trip Generation Land Use Quantum Am Peak PM peak Arrivals Departures Arrivals Departures Residential 816 dwellings 69 220 241 87 Food Retail 706m2 17 11 14 20 Doctors Surgery & 2,216m2 54 29 38 61 Pharmacy Office 1759m2 22 3 4 21 Pub/Coffeeshop 437m2 0 0 12 9 Total 161 263 309 198
2.10 On this basis, the above trip generation (extracted from the Arup TA for application 12/01663/DC) will be incorporated as committed development, as part of the highway network assessment for the development of this residential development proposal on Sanitorium Road, within this report.

3 EXISTING SITUATION
3.1 This section of the report provides the context of the site in relation to its general surroundings and movement characteristics of the surrounding area.
Site Location
3.2 The site is located within the Canton area of Cardiff located on Sanitorium Road, as illustrated in Figure 3.1. It is adjacent to The Mill development (former Paper Mill site) and is approximately 3.2km from the centre of Cardiff.
3.3 The site is approximately 0.51ha in size and is indicated by the boundary line illustration in Figure 3.1. It is bound to the southwest by residential properties and the River Ely and to the north by the Radyr railway line. To the southeast of the site is education and residential use.
Figure 3.1 – Site Location Plan

3.4 To understand how the site resides in relation to The Mill development, the site boundary is shown in Figure 3.2 along with the site area of The Mill development.
Figure 3.2 – Site location showing The Mill Development area
3.5 The site is brownfield and currently accommodates retail / light industrial units. In the past the area was rich in industrial units and businesses, however over time the area has become predominantly residential. Ysgol Treganna, a Welsh Medium school, is located to the southeast of the site and some remaining light industrial businesses are located on Paper Mill Road, accessed via Sanitorium Road under the rail bridge to the northwest of the site.
3.6 The site is well placed in terms of access to nearby local facilities and services such as schools, medical services, restaurants and public transport provision. A summary of the local facilities within the vicinity of the site is set out in Table 3.1 and are illustrated in Figure 3.3. Access in terms of public transport and pedestrian/cycle uses is likely to improve when through-access is permitted through The Mill development. On this basis, access has been considered with this link through The Mill development in place.

3.7 The table and plan identify a plethora of local facilities within a 30-minute catchment of the site, providing ample opportunity to meet day-to-day needs within the local area without the need to drive.
Pedestrian and Cycle Provision
3.8 The local area offers an excellent framework for non-motorised modes of travel and is served by good quality pedestrian routes and roads conducive to cycling. There are also connections planned as part of The Mill development.
3.9 The site is well served by pedestrian routes in its vicinity, as well as a range of local services within a comfortable walkable or cyclable distance.
3.10 There are also proposed Active Travel routes shown via Cardiff Council’s Integrated Network Map. The Integrated Network Map sets out the Council’s 15-year vision to improve cycling and walking routes in the City, in order to meet the requirements of the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013, to plan or the provision of routes and improvements for active travel. These routes will shortly form the Active Travel Network Map in line with latest Welsh Government policy.

Walking
3.11 The site is located within close proximity to a number of existing residential streets and is well served by pedestrian facilities. Sanitorium Road has been subject to many improvements associated with Ysgol Treganna, as such, there is good provision of pedestrian crossings, footways, and street lighting in place including traffic calming and a 20mph speed limit. It is anticipated that Sanatorium Road will include bus stops once The Mill development is complete.
Photograph 3.1 – Zebra Crossing east of the existing site access on Sanatorium Road
3.12 A footway link is available to the north of the site via Paper Mill Road that connects to Lansdowne Road. Whilst this route would be a convenient option during the day, at night- time it may be less popular as users may feel vulnerable. It would also only be suitable for able-bodied users due to the steps on the footbridge. On Lansdowne Road, the footbridge leads users to a Toucan Crossing and a shared surface. This route could be used to access Waun-gron Park railway station to the northwest. Photograph 3.2 and Photograph 3.3 show Paper Mill Road and the footbridge respectively.

3.15 According to ‘Outdoorcardiff.com’, the trail follows the River Ely from the coastline in Cardiff Bay to the countryside in St Fagan’s for approximately 7 miles. Most of the trail is traffic free and is accessible for both walkers and cyclists. The Ely Trail can be easily accessed from several locations where it eventually continues towards Lawrenny Avenue and the topside of Sanatorium Park.
3.16 There is a temporary diversion of the Ely Trail at The Mill development, where new houses are being built and in the future the continuation of the Ely Trail along the riverside means that pedestrians will need to follow the quiet roads around Victoria Park heading past Waun-gron Park Railway Station.
3.17 The next nearest main highway is Broad Street which benefits from good public transport links, street lighting and footways. Connecting to Sanitorium Road at its eastern end, the junction of Broad Street with Sanatorium Road benefits form traffic signals with toucan standard crossing facilities. There are also bus stops in close proximity to the junction and a link through to Cowbridge Road East’s shops where Sanatorium Road continues north under the rail bridge. These footways provide a good link through to Ninian Park Rail Station, Jubilee Recreational Grounds and other local facilities. Broad Street is subject to a 30-mph limit as the 20mph limit terminates at the eastern end of Sanatorium Road, it therefore remains conducive for movement by foot.
3.18 Once The Mill development is complete, pedestrians will have the opportunity to walk through this site to connect to Cowbridge Road West and have access to the links through to Lansdowne Road and to the open space to the south of the site.
3.19 Cardiff Council’s Active Travel policy highlights various improvements to the network for pedestrians. The most notable improvements are FW4b which are new pedestrian facilities on Western Avenue, LTP23 new pedestrian facilities on Atlas Road / Leckwith Road / Wellington Street junction and LTP11Traffic Calming on Lansdowne Road.
3.20 A plan indicating Cardiff Council’s Active Travel aspiration for walking is shown in Figure 3.5.

3.21 The propensity for people to walk or cycle depends on individual preferences and circumstance. Circumstances might include the purpose of the journey, the attractiveness of the journey, activity, the route, the weather, and the cost of alternatives.
3.22 The objective of land use and transport policy is to promote and encourage the choice of walking and cycling above other modes of transport when a journey is necessary. It is reasonable to suggest that walking is a viable and growing means of travel, and that new development, such as this one, should be designed to promote and encourage it.

3.23 Though the distance that any person is likely to walk depends on their circumstances, it fair to assume that over time, given current policies to promote community, health, wellbeing and active travel, the propensity for individuals to walk, and to walk further, will increase.
3.24 Figure 3.6 indicates the indicative isochrones of 15 and 30 minutes walking time to/from the site assuming a comfortable average walking speed of 5km/hr (3mph).

Cycling
3.25 Cycling infrastructure within the vicinity of the site includes advisory local routes, and local roads conducive to cycling.
3.26 Sanatorium Road has a shared footway surface along its full extent, which terminates at the western end of Broad Street. The junction of Broad Street with Sanatorium Road has toucan crossing facilities to assist cyclists and pedestrians to cross the junction. Photograph 3.5 shows the shared facilities on Sanatorium Road.

3.28 Cardiff Council’s Integrated Network Map identifies many routes in the area and improvements. An extract of the ‘Cardiff Integrated Network Map: Cycling’ is shown in Figure 3.8. It identifies improvements such as signal timings to give cyclists a head start on Cowbridge Road East, the off-road facilities associated with The Mill development, and hybrid cycle track or off-road cycle facilities on Cowbridge Road West from Riverside Terrace to Grand Avenue. A cycle superhighway is also proposed to the west of the City although this has not yet been developed.

3.29 As part of a partnership with Cardiff Council, Cardiff University and other organisations, a bike sharing provider called Nextbike has been successful in providing hire bikes and hire bike docking stations around the city, which has received a positive response and use from local residents and visitors. This enables a user-friendly service that supports sustainable and integrated travel solutions.
3.30 The current locations of the Nextbike docking stations in proximity to the site are shown in Figure 3.9. The closest Nextbike station to the site is located at Victoria Park to the north of the site located 0.8km away (around a 10-minute walk via the footbridge on Paper Mill Road).

3.31 Figure 3.10, indicates the 15 & 30 minute isochrones for cycling to/from the site, assuming a comfortable average cycle speed of 15km/hr (9 mph). Sustrans has suggested that up to 5 miles in an appropriate distance for cycle commuting. At 15 km/hr, this equates to 33 minutes covering a wide area from the site.

Public Transport
Bus Services
3.33 The nearest bus stops to the site are located on Broad Street, approximately 550 metres from the site, just east of the Broad Street / Sanatorium Road junction. Both stops benefit from a lay-by, raised bus boarders, and shelters. Stops are also available along Cowbridge Road West, Cowbridge Road East, and Lansdowne Road. Figure 3.11 shows the location of the local bus stops and Photograph 3.6 shows the stops on Broad Street (Google Streetview).

3.37 It is evident from the summary table that a number of buses operate only during school times and as dedicated school services. Regular services combined serve the local area at a frequency of one bus every 10 minutes or less.
3.38 It is noted that due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, many bus services are operating at a reduced capacity. This is a temporary measure and as such the 2019 timetables have been used as an indication of what the regular services could are expected to return to, post Covid- 19 pandemic.
Rail Services
3.39 Ninian Park rail station is located approximately 1.4km to the southeast of the site which is around a 17-minute walk or a 5-minute cycle ride. This is judged to be within a reasonable journey time by bike and on foot for daily commuting or leisure trips.
3.40 Ninian Park rail station serves the Leckwith and South Canton areas of Cardiff, just beyond the City Centre with Transport for Wales services operating on three lines. In typical off-peak hours, trains from Ninian Park depart half-hourly in each direction with eastbound services to Coryton via Cardiff Central and westbound services to Radyr for connecting trains to the north.

In the evenings, these services run hourly. No trains operate on Sundays. A select number of mainline trains also call at the station.
3.41 Bicycle stands are provided for customer use and tickets may be purchased or collected from the self-service ticketing machines present at the station. Payment at the machines is by card only. Train-running information is provided on departure and arrival screens. As access to the station is via very steep ramps, Ninian Park is not suitable for wheelchair users.
3.42 Waun-gron Park station is also a viable option for site residents, however it is on the same line as Ninian Park Road.
3.43 Cardiff Central is an excellent link to all local lines and is also the main Cardiff station for trips further afield to Manchester, Birmingham, London and others.
3.44 Figure 3.12 shows the location of the local rain station in relation to the location of the site. A summary of some of the services is shown in Table 3.3.

Sanatorium Road
3.47 Sanatorium Road runs in a southeast to northwest direction and is situated at the southern boundary of the site. It links Grosvenor Street / Broad Street to the southeast with Paper Mill Road to the northwest. It is a two-way single-lane carriageway with street lighting and footways, and a shared pedestrian/cycleway on one side of the road.
3.48 Sanatorium Road benefits from traffic calming measures present along the majority of the highway. The road is subject to a 20mph speed limit from its junction with Broad Street and Heol Terrell, with two vehicle-activated signs present, one on each side of the highway. Two raised zebra crossings and a speed table also feature along the road. Ysgol Treganna is present to the south of the highway.
3.49 Adjacent the site and in the immediate vicinity, there are double yellow lines on the northern side of the road. On the southern side, there are unrestricted on-street parking bays, differentiated by grey paving. On-street parking is situated alongside the shared pedestrian/cycleway. Outside the current site access, there are road marking for a bus stop, indicating a commitment to implementing a bus service through to Broad Street in the future.
Broad Street
3.50 Broad Street runs southeast to northwest, beginning at a signalised junction with Leckwith Road and Sloper Road at the south end and terminating at a signalised junction to the north with Sanatorium Road and Heol Terrell. It is a two-way single-lane highway with street-lighting and footways. Traffic calming measures are present, with school warning signs on both sides of the highway near the access to Fitzalan High School. There are also two vehicle activated signs, one on each side of the highway and ‘Slow’ carriageway markings present along the highway.
3.51 The majority of Broad Street has on street parking, with resident only parking restrictions. The remainder of the road is subject to a TRO and has double yellows lines, primarily focused towards the southeast of the highway near the signal-controlled junction with Broad Street.

Lansdowne Road
3.52 Lansdowne Road runs from the southeast to the northwest, from Atlas Road to Cowbridge Road East (A4161). The road is a two-way single carriageway with street-lighting and footways. Heading northwest from Atlas Road, the highway features speed camera signs, a vehicle- activated sign for speed, and a warning sign for a school.
3.53 Lansdowne Road has double yellow lines from Atlas Road to the junction with Beda Road. On- street parking is present, with breaks near junctions, until Cowbridge Road East. It is estimated that half of these are resident only permit parking.
Cowbridge Road West
3.54 Cowbridge Road West (A48) is a major road running south-easterly from the roundabout with Cowbridge Road East and Western Avenue, to Culverhouse Cross in the southeast. It is a primary route, connecting inner Cardiff to Culverhouse Cross, a large retail park and the A4232, which ultimately leads to the M4 motorway. It is a two-way dual carriageway subject to a range of speed limits ranging between 30mph and 40mph. It has street lighting and footways along its whole length, and there are several signalised pedestrian crossings as well as a number of fixed speed cameras along the route.
3.55 Cowbridge Road West has a range of parking restrictions along its length. Primarily it has restricted waiting times with single yellow lines and larger sections of double yellow lines.
Baseline Traffic Data
3.56 A traffic survey was undertaken on Sanatorium Road between the site access and Treganna Street, to gain an appreciation of existing traffic movement in the area. The survey was undertaken using SDR equipment (by Cardiff Council) from 13/03/2019 to 19/03/2019, which pre-dates the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
3.57 The survey revealed a maximum 2-way traffic flow of 349 vehicles during the AM peak (8.00am - 9.00am) and 297 during the PM peak (4.30pm – 5.30pm). A maximum 24h 85th percentile speed of 26mph westbound and 24mph eastbound was also recorded. This is above the sign plated speed limit on the road.
3.58 The full details of the survey are shown in Appendix A.

Highway Accident Analysis
3.59 Personal Injury Accident (PIA) data was obtained from Cardiff Council (March 2019) for the most recent 5-year period at the time of the enquiry. Causation factors were not available due to data protection reasons.
3.60 This data reveals that 2 slight incidents occurred within the search area near to the site, as shown in Figure 3.14. A serious incident is also shown but occurred outside of the most recent five-year study period and did not occur on Sanatorium Road.
Figure 3.14 – Personal Injury Accident Plot
3.61 The first incident (Ref.1700108) involved 2 vehicles travelling from a southwest direction to a southeast direction and occurred 9.45pm in the day in dry conditions, where a car collided with a young pedestrian who was in the centre of the carriageway.
3.62 The second incident (Ref.1600700) also involved 1 vehicle travelling from a northwest direction to a southeast direction and occurred 9.59pm in the day in dry conditions, where a car collided with a young pedestrian who was crossing the road on the near-side.
3.63 The full collision record is available in Appendix B.
Sanitorium Road Residential Development – Transport Statement 28 H:\Projects\W190000\194606 - Proposal - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\194606A - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\Technical\A - Deliverable (please amend and duplicate as required)\Documents\194606A-Transport Statement-V3.docx September 2020
3.64 The two collisions shown above are also identified on the most recent 5 years’ worth of available data on the on-line road casualty database Crashmap, and no other incidents shown in close proximity to the site. No further description or likely causation factors are provided in these records.
3.65 On the basis that these incidents did not occur near the site or site access and that Sanatorium Road already benefits from traffic calming and pedestrian facilities, it can be said that in the vicinity of the site access, no further investigation or highway safety measures are necessary.
Car Parking
3.66 There are parking restrictions currently in place on the northern side of Sanatorium Road adjacent to the site and parking bays are located on the roadside on the opposite side of the road associated with the residential properties. Further south along Sanatorium Road there are further parking restrictions that also include school keep clear markings.
3.67 As with many school sites, drop offs will naturally occur during the AM and School PM peak periods. Due to the limited road width in this area, it is likely that parking associated with the school will be limited to southern end of Sanatorium Road. As such, overspill parking onto the site unlikely to occur.

4 POLICY REVIEW
National Policy
Planning Policy Wales (Edition 10)
4.1 Planning Policy Wales Edition 10 (PPW) sets out the land use planning policies of the Welsh Government.
4.2 In regard to Strategic and Spatial Choices, and specifically Accessibility, PPW states that:
• Spatial strategies should support the objectives of increasing walking, cycling and
public transport use in place of private vehicles.
• Previously developed land should, wherever possible, be used in preference to greenfield sites where it is suitable for development, with its re-use promoting sustainability principles.
4.3 Section 4 of PPW concerns Active and Social places. It asserts that Active and Social Places are those which provide well-connected cohesive communities. It further states that a ‘Resilient Wales’ is supported by promoting well-connected infrastructure.
4.4 Within Section 4 it stresses that:
• A Healthier Wales can be achieved through the reduction in emissions and air pollution by minimising the need to travel and maximising provision of sustainable forms of transport. • To foster Cohesive Communities development will need to be well connected. • Globally Responsible Wales is promoted by locating and designing developments which reduce trip lengths for everyday journeys and supports sustainable modes of travel.
4.5 Section 4 acknowledges the importance of:
• improving sustainable access to services. • reducing reliance on travel by private car. • ensuring our transportation infrastructure is adaptable.
Sanitorium Road Residential Development – Transport Statement 30 H:\Projects\W190000\194606 - Proposal - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\194606A - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\Technical\A - Deliverable (please amend and duplicate as required)\Documents\194606A-Transport Statement-V3.docx September 2020
4.6 Policies within the Active and Social Places theme will:
• enable sustainable access to housing, employment, shopping, education, health, community, leisure and sports facilities and green infrastructure. • develop sustainable transportation infrastructure. • require developments to encourage modal shift and be easily accessible by walking, cycling and public transport.
4.7 Moving within and between places is a key theme within PPW. In regard to sustainable transport, it advises facilitating developments which:
• are sited where they can be easily accessed by sustainable modes of travel and without the need for a car; • are designed to integrate with existing land uses and neighbourhoods; and • make it possible for all short journeys within and beyond the development to be easily made by walking and cycling.
4.8 Regarding Active Travel, PPW10 states that:
• Planning authorities must support active travel by ensuring new development is fully accessible by walking and cycling. • Planning authorities must ensure new housing, jobs, shopping, leisure and services are highly accessible by walking and cycling.
4.9 Regarding Public Transport, PPW10 states that:
• Planning authorities should consider whether public transport services are of a scale which makes public transport an attractive and practical travel option for occupiers and users travelling to and from development sites.
4.10 It is Welsh Government policy to require the use of a sustainable transport hierarchy in relation to new development, which prioritises walking, cycling and public transport.
4.11 Transport Assessments provide the basis for negotiation on scheme details, including the level of parking, and measures to improve walking, cycling, and public transport access, as well as measures to limit or reduce levels of air and noise pollution.

4.12 In this respect the development fully complies with PPW.
Technical Advice Note 18 (Transport)
4.13 The Advice Note (TAN 18) elaborates on the relationship between land use planning and transport infrastructure by outlining a range of key accessibility principles that should inform future patterns of development.
4.14 In the case of new residential development, sites that are accessible to jobs, shops and services by modes other than the car and are afforded sufficient capacity on public transport services are favoured.
4.15 TAN 18 advises that development plans should afford priority to the following:
• promote housing development at locations with good access by walking and cycling to primary and secondary schools and public transport stops, and by all modes to employment, further and higher education, services, shopping and leisure, or where such access will be provided as part of the scheme or is a firm proposal in the Regional Travel Plan; • ensure that significant new housing schemes contain ancillary uses including local shops, and services and, where appropriate, local employment; • include policies and standards on densities, and parking to achieve higher residential densities in places with good public transport accessibility and capacity; • encourage residential layouts that incorporate traffic management proposals such as home zones, calming measures and 20 mph zones and where appropriate, layouts that allow public transport to pass through easily; and • Require layouts and densities, which maximise the opportunity for residents to walk and cycle to local facilities and public transport stops.
4.16 The development of the Sanatorium Road site is well located and highly accessible to a wide range of local amenities and public transport options. Given the scale of what is being proposed it will have a minimal traffic effect on the local highway network. As such, it fully complies with the principles as set out in TAN 18.

Wales Spatial Plan
4.17 The 2008 update to the Wales Spatial Plan (WSP) sets out the planning agenda at a spatial level. There are five guiding themes which underpin the national vision:
• Building sustainable communities; • Promoting a sustainable economy; • Valuing our environment; • Achieving sustainable accessibility; and • Respective distinctiveness.
4.18 New housing growth is expected to be linked to public transport nodes, including walking and cycling networks.
4.19 Among the main priorities is to make better use of existing transport infrastructure to achieve sustainable access to jobs and services. This encompasses the need to ensure that communities are well connected to main public transport corridors, are provided with safe walking and cycling routes, and use existing road capacity with maximum efficiency. The proposed development does precisely this.
Wales Transport Strategy: One Wales – Connecting the Nation (April 2008)
4.20 In informing the strategic priorities of the NTP, the Wales Transport Strategy (WTS) identifies a range of outcomes that should be achieved over the long term. These include the need for improved connectivity and reliability across networks. The following key principles are identified as critical to the future transport policy agenda:
• Achieving a more effective and efficient transport system; • Achieving greater use of the most sustainable and healthy forms of travel; • Minimising demand on the transport system; and • Reducing the impact of transport on greenhouse gas emissions.
4.21 Among the range of intended strategy outcomes is improved access to healthcare, education, shopping and leisure facilities and the encouragement of healthy lifestyles.
Sanitorium Road Residential Development – Transport Statement 33 H:\Projects\W190000\194606 - Proposal - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\194606A - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\Technical\A - Deliverable (please amend and duplicate as required)\Documents\194606A-Transport Statement-V3.docx September 2020
4.22 The goal of the strategy is “to promote sustainable transport networks that safeguard the environment while strengthening our economic and social life. Our transport strategic identifies a series of high-level outcomes and sets out the steps for their delivery.”
4.23 The Transport Strategy links to the Planning Strategy and seeks to “maximise the consideration of access during the planning of new services and facilities. Influence and alter travel patterns, promote sustainable travel and contribute to environmental improvements.”
4.24 The sustainable transport themes which underpin the strategy are:
• “Achieving a more effective and efficient transport system; • Achieving greater use of the more sustainable and healthy forms of travel; and • Minimising demands on the transport system.”
4.25 The proposed development at the Sanatorium Road site is well located, sustainable and complies with this policy.
Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013
4.26 The Welsh Government seeks to enable more people to walk, cycle and generally travel by more active methods, so that:
• More people can experience the health benefits of active travel; • We reduce our greenhouse gas emissions; • We help address poverty and disadvantage; and • We help our economy to grow by unlocking sustainable economic growth.
4.27 The location of the site fully complies with this act and by its very location, should encourage people to walk and cycle for a range of day-to-day amenities.
Local Policy
Cardiff Local Development Plan 2006 – 2026
4.28 The site is in keeping with the Council’s ambition for growth within the city, although the site is not allocated within the Local Development Plan (LDP).
Sanitorium Road Residential Development – Transport Statement 34 H:\Projects\W190000\194606 - Proposal - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\194606A - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\Technical\A - Deliverable (please amend and duplicate as required)\Documents\194606A-Transport Statement-V3.docx September 2020
4.29 Policy T1 of the LDP deals with Transport and specifically Walking and Cycling. The policy states that with a view to enable people to access services, employment and community facilities by walking and cycling, the council would support developments which incorporates;
• High quality, sustainable design which makes a positive contribution to the distinctiveness of communities and places; • Permeable and legible networks of safe, convenient and attractive walking and cycling routes; • Connections and extensions to the Cardiff Strategic Cycle Network and routes forming part of the Cardiff Walkable Neighbourhoods Plan; • Measures to minimise vehicle speed and give priority to pedestrians and cyclists; • Safe, convenient and attractive walking and cycling connections to existing developments, neighbourhoods, jobs and services; • Infrastructure designed in accordance with standards of good practice including the Council’s Cycling Design Guide; • Supporting facilities including, signing, secure cycle parking and, where necessary shower and changing faculties; and • The provision of Car-Free Zones.
4.30 Key to the Local Development Plan is the Transport Strategy which is seeking to achieve a modal split of 50:50 in 2026 for all trips on the network (50% cars and 50% other). The proposed development is in line with this policy by offering real travel choice for a range of activities requirements.
Managing Transportation Impacts (incorporating Parking Standards) Supplementary Planning Guidance
4.31 This SPG sets out Cardiff Council’s approach to assessing and managing the transport impacts of developments and supplements the transport and other related policies in Cardiff’s Local Development Plan 2006-2026. It applies to all categories of development for which planning permission is required, including new developments, extensions, redevelopments and material changes of use. Parking standards for the class C1 (hotels and hostels) is set out in Table 4.1. The development is located within the ‘Central Area’.

Table 4.1 - Cardiff Council’s Parking Standards Area Type Spaces for Spaces for Minimum Cycle Residents (per unit) Visitors (per unit) Parking Min Max Max Min All Central All dwelling N/A 1 N/A 1 per bedroom properties
4.32 Additionally, as the development falls under the threshold for a Travel Plan as noted in the Managing Transportation Impacts (incorporating Parking Standards) Supplementary Planning Guidance; as such a Travel Plan is not considered necessary at this stage.
Cardiff’s Transport White Paper: Transport Vision to 2030
4.33 Cardiff Council’s Transport White Paper lays out an ambitious 10-year plan to tackle the climate emergency, reduce congestion and improve air quality in the Welsh capital. It has been developed following consultation with thousands of city residents, health and transport experts.
4.34 The main points focus upon:
• Expanding on the Metro plans for new tram-train routes and stations; • Introducing new Bus Rapid Transit services and Park & Ride sites and making bus travel far cheaper; and • Re-prioritisation of Cardiff’s streets to give more space to people walking and cycling.
4.35 The White Paper presents its modal split targets for the City from 2020 to 2030 as follows:
• Cycling – from 13% to 26%; • Walking – From 18% to 17%; • Bus, Rail and tram – from 19% to 33%; and • Car – from 49% to 25%.
Summary
4.36 The proposed development at Sanatorium Road complies with relevant National and Local policies, given its sustainable location. It is an excellent location for new development and it benefits from being featured within Cardiff’s Local Development Plan as a brownfield site

5 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
5.1 The proposed development comprises 69 residential dwellings with a new vehicular access from Sanatorium Road.
5.2 The vehicular access to the site will be located south of The Mill development / Sanatorium Road junction to the east of the existing site access location, in the form of a new priority junction.
5.3 An indicative masterplan of the site is shown below in Figure 5.1.
Figure 5.1 – Indicative Masterplan
Pedestrian Access
5.4 Pedestrians will be able to access the site via the footway off Sanatorium Road to the northwest of the site, southern frontage , as well as at the vehicular access.
5.5 The pedestrian connections within the site are shown in Figure 5.4.
Sanitorium Road Residential Development – Transport Statement 38 H:\Projects\W190000\194606 - Proposal - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\194606A - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\Technical\A - Deliverable (please amend and duplicate as required)\Documents\194606A-Transport Statement-V3.docx September 2020
5.6 These connections ensure full permeability of the site and provide an opportunity to enhance and encourage better integration of sustainable modes of travel.
Figure 5.4 – Pedestrian Links
Vehicular Access
5.7 Access for all modes will be via Sanatorium Road. It is proposed to stop up the existing access situated on the western side of the site and provide a new access on the eastern side of the site, in the form of a new priority junction arrangement onto Sanitorium Road.
5.8 An indicative vehicular arrangement, which will be subject to a Road Safety Audit, is shown in Figures 5.2 and 5.3 below and in Appendix C. This shows a 5.5 metre carriageway width and a footway width of 1.8m entering the site. The internal footway widths vary between 1.2m and 1.8m.

Figure 5.3 – Swept Path Analysis
5.9 The visibility splay for the proposed junction is within the required standards and is in excess of 43m in both directions based on an ‘x’ distance of 2.4 metres. As Sanatorium Road benefits from traffic calming, there is no reason the low vehicle speeds recorded will change. However, an 85th percentile speed of 30mph has been assumed for the visibility splay assessment to provide a robust assessment.

Parking
5.10 There are existing parking restrictions in place adjacent to the site. It is anticipated that these will remain as they benefit the community by maintaining good visibility at the access point and seeking to reduce dependence upon the car.
5.11 Cardiff Council adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) Parking Standards in July 2018.
5.12 Under the adopted parking standards, it is noted that the site is within the ‘Central Area’. Therefore, a maximum car parking space provision of 1 maximum parking space per dwelling is permitted, as shown in Table 5.1.
5.13 The current masterplan denotes a mixture of 39 1-bedroom apartments, 15 2-bedroom apartments, and 15 2-bedroom townhouses. 1 cycle parking space is specified for each bedroom of each of the dwellings as indicated in Table 5.2.
Table 5.1 – Cardiff Council’s Residential Parking Standards (Table P.9: C3 & C4) Maximum Car Minimum Cycle Disabled Parking Development Type Parking Parking Provision Flats 1 Per Unit 1 per Bedroom Provided in allocation Houses 1 Per Unit 1 per Bedroom Provided in allocation
Table 5.2 – Permitted maximum parking and minimum cycle parking (for site)
Number of Maximum Car Development Type Units Parking Minimum Cycle Parking Apartment 1-bed 39 39 39 Apartment 2-bed 15 15 30 Houses 2-bed 15 15 30 TOTAL 69 69 99
5.14 The current masterplan shows 32 parking spaces. Of these spaces, 17 will be located in close proximity to the town houses on the northern boundary and 15 will be located in close proximity to the apartments located on the western boundary of the site. The proposed parking provision is therefore under the maximum parking requirement.

5.15 Whilst the parking standards set out a maximum figure for parking provision, to demonstrate that the proposals are suitable to meet demand an exercise has been undertaken to determine the typical levels of car ownership within the local community using Census data (2011). The Census area is shown in Figure 5.5.
Figure 5.5 – 2011 Census data area (for area W02000406: Cardiff 040)
5.16 The data set was based on car ownership levels based on houses and flats. The output of this assessment is shown in Table 5.3.
Sanitorium Road Residential Development – Transport Statement 42 H:\Projects\W190000\194606 - Proposal - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\194606A - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\Technical\A - Deliverable (please amend and duplicate as required)\Documents\194606A-Transport Statement-V3.docx September 2020
Table 5.3 – Parking Requirement Based On Census Data
Flat, % of Flat, maisonette, maisonette, apartment, % of apartment, All categories: Whole Houses Car caravan or Whole caravan or Flats Accommod’n house or Ownership other house or other (54 No.) type bungalow (15 no.) mobile or bungalow mobile or temporary temporary structure structure All categories: 3,566 2,862 704 - - - - Car or van availability No cars or vans in 1,108 718 390 25% 55% 0.0 0.0 household 1 car or van in 1,648 1,392 256 49% 36% 7.3 19.6 household 2 or more cars or vans 810 752 58 26% 8% 7.9 8.9 in household TOTAL 15.2 28.5
5.17 This table demonstrates that based on the existing car ownership levels in this area of Cardiff, the proposed development would typically require around 15 spaces for the houses, and 29 spaces for the flats. This assessment assumes that ‘2 or more cars or vans in household’ refers to 2 cars.
5.18 Based on this analysis, is a shortfall of 12 spaces for the apartments when applying the Census data. However, based on the merits of the site’s location in that it is well connected to sustainable means of transport, that cycle parking will be provided, and that the site is likely to be for the affordable housing market; it is judged that there is sufficient parking provided for the development site. It should also be noted that the parking standards relate to maximum parking levels in which the proposed provision falls under. An informal Travel Plan is recommended to encourage use of sustainable travel and reduced reliance on the car. It is also anticipated that Block A will be allocated to persons over the age of 55, which may also reduce reliance upon personal car ownership and travel during the peak periods.
5.19 It is recommended that the internal layout is monitored post-application, to determine whether any further traffic management measures are necessary and implemented accordingly, to prevent obstructive parking.

Travel Plan
5.20 Typically, a site of this size would not require the introduction of a travel plan as travel plans are provided for developments that are likely to create significant traffic generation, and/or sites that are above the threshold of 80 dwellings.
5.21 Traffic generation for the site is expected to be low and therefore the site will not exceed the requirements for a Travel Plan. However, there is a desire to make new developments as sustainable as possible by reducing resident’s use of fossil fuels. On this basis, an informal Travel Plan could be prepared for the proposed development to further promote sustainable travel at a later stage within the planning process.
5.22 The primary objective of a Travel Plan will set out a long-term strategy to facilitate and encourage modes of travel to the site by sustainable means, which reflects current central and local government policy as well as the objectives behind this development.
5.23 The strategy would be long term, as changing travel habits takes time and will only occur through a combination of incentives, improved facilities, government initiatives and changes in individual’s attitudes.
5.24 The measures would include the provision of the necessary infrastructure to encourage the use of non-car modes, such as the provision of appropriate cycle parking, providing information on public transport services, as well as information on walking and cycling routes in the local area. Resident information packs may need to be provided for all residents / tenants which would include the same details on public transport, walking and cycling.
5.25 The role of ‘Travel Plan Coordinator’ could be given to a resident as an ambassador role to assist in promoting, implementing, monitoring and maintaining the adopted Travel Plan and the associated events and duties. This can include sponsored initiatives such as awareness events/breakfasts, bike voucher or bike purchase schemes for example. Equally, this role could be given to an overseeing organisation.
5.26 The sustainable ethos of the site could be emphasised to all future residents / tenants and form part of their lease agreements or part of an owner’s pack.

6 HIGHWAY NETWORK ASSESSMENT
6.1 The development proposes 69 new residential units, and the traffic effect from the site is anticipated to be low due to its excellent location.
6.2 In the context of Cardiff Council’s transport strategy, the focus should not be on traffic impact, but on accommodating people movement and ensuring access to safe and efficient Active Travel routes to key local amenities.
6.3 Whilst the site benefits from excellent accessibility to amenities, an overview of the likely traffic effect is provided in the following section.
Trip Generation
6.4 As per paragraph 2.2 within this report, discussions with Cardiff Council identified that in order to assess the site in terms of impact, the impact of The Mill development will also need to be considered as committed development. Given the trip generation methodology used within the TA for The Mill development site is considered acceptable, the same approach has been applied to this proposed development.
6.5 The likely vehicular trip generation from the site has therefore been derived from The Mill development site (as per the Arup TA for application 12/01663/DC). The trip rates for The Mill development is shown in Paragraph 2.9.
6.6 The trip rates can therefore be derived as follows.
Table 6.1 – Trip Rate For Development Land Use Am Peak PM peak Arrivals Departures Arrivals Departures Residential 0.085 0.270 0.295 0.107
6.7 The trip generation for the proposed development of 69 residential properties is shown in Table 6.2.
Sanitorium Road Residential Development – Transport Statement 45 H:\Projects\W190000\194606 - Proposal - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\194606A - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\Technical\A - Deliverable (please amend and duplicate as required)\Documents\194606A-Transport Statement-V3.docx September 2020
Table 6.2 – Trip generation for 69 residential units Land Use Am Peak PM peak Arrivals Departures Arrivals Departures Residential 6 17 19 7
6.8 On this basis, the overall forecast increase in traffic during the AM and PM peak period is 23 and 26 vehicles (two-way) respectively. This equates to additional vehicle around every 2-3 minutes during the AM and PM peak periods. It is also anticipated that Block A will be allocated to persons over the age of 55, which may also reduce reliance upon personal car ownership and travel during the peak periods. This level of traffic increase is unlikely to be perceptible to existing road users.
Traffic effect
6.9 New and unfettered traffic from the proposed development of 69 homes was distributed onto Sanitorium Road based on the modelled traffic data from the TA for The Mill development.
6.10 In terms of future growth in the local area, this will be consumed by The Mill development. It should be noted that trip generation for The Mill development included committed development at the time of the application (as per section 4.4 of the Arup TA (12/01663/DC)), but excluded blanket background traffic growth, which was agreed with Cardiff Council (as per section 4.5 of the Arup TA (12/01663/DC)).
6.11 There is a plethora of evidence to suggest that traffic in Cardiff and many other towns and cities in the UK is not growing as per national forecasts. This would include any growth from The Mill development adjacent to the site. However, whilst it is not considered that traffic growth will manifest to the extent of the total trip generation from The Mill development, it has been considered in place of blanket traffic growth.
6.12 In order to ascertain the likely impact on the highway network a traffic survey was undertaken on Sanatorium Road between the site access and Treganna Street in 2019. The survey revealed a maximum 2-way traffic flow of 349 vehicles during the AM peak period (8.00am - 9.00am) and 297 during the PM peak period (4.30pm – 5.30pm), which can be considered as lightly trafficked.
Sanitorium Road Residential Development – Transport Statement 46 H:\Projects\W190000\194606 - Proposal - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\194606A - Sanatorium Road, Cardiff\Technical\A - Deliverable (please amend and duplicate as required)\Documents\194606A-Transport Statement-V3.docx September 2020
6.13 An assessment of the traffic generation for the site, based on 69 dwellings, was undertaken as summarised in Table 6.3.
Table 6.3 – Proposed Development % Traffic Impact Development % Base PM Development % Base AM (PCU) AM Impact (PCU) PM Impact Site 481 23 4.7% 556 30 5.5% Access
6.14 The outcome of the percentage impact assessment indicates that the proposed development will have an impact of around 4.7% and 5.5% in the AM and PM peak periods respectively on Sanitorium Road. This takes into consideration development traffic associated with The Mill Development within the baseline traffic.
6.15 As a result of Sanitorium Road being lightly trafficked in the vicinity of the development, the percentage impact is at a level which appears above what is expected due to the size of the development. In reality, the road itself will continue to operate well within capacity where the impact would be an additional vehicle every 2-3 minutes (2-way).
6.16 The existing site is currently occupied by Milk and More and consists of a number of commercial units. Whilst an assessment of the site’s existing trip generation (based on the site’s extant use) has not been undertaken, it is reasonable to assume that when taking into consideration the current trip generation of the site, the overall impact the proposed development will have on the highway network will be less.
6.17 On this basis, this assessment demonstrates that the development will not have any detrimental effect to the highway conditions and that no further impact assessment is necessary.

7 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Summary
7.1 United Welsh Housing Association and Ty Mill Developments Limited propose to develop 69 new homes on an existing brownfield site, on Sanitorium Road, Cardiff.
7.2 Vehicular access to the site will be via new relocated access on Sanatorium Road. The priority junction arrangement into / out of the site will comprise a 5.5 metre carriageway and internal footway widths varying between 1.2m and 1.8m. Dropped kerbs will be provided to ensure multiuser access and separate pedestrian access points are available around the site.
7.3 The site will provide a reduced level of on-site parking, however the site is well connected and well located to a plethora of day to day activities including education, recreation and public transport. New pedestrian links and public transport links will be formed as part of The Mill development that opens the opportunity to connect more easily to public transport services and local facilities in the area.
7.4 As such this is good place to locate new housing and complies with contemporary transport planning policy.
7.5 The traffic effect from 69 homes is forecast to be +23 and +26 two-way trips during an AM and PM peak respectively which is not considered to be material or detrimental to highway capacity or highway safety; particularly when taking into consideration the traffic generation of the site’s lawful use as a dairy site.
7.6 Typically, a site of this size would not require the introduction of a travel plan as travel plans are provided for developments that are likely to create significant traffic generation, and/or sites that are above the threshold of 80 dwellings. However, there is a desire to make new developments as sustainable as possible by reducing resident’s use of fossil fuels. On this basis, an informal Travel Plan could be prepared for the proposed development to further promote sustainable travel at a later stage within the planning process.

Conclusion
7.7 This is a well located, sustainable site which, in transport terms, is policy compliant.
7.8 The development provides an opportunity to enhance and improve the current access in the vicinity of the site and encourage better integration of sustainable modes of travel.
7.9 Development in this location offers travel choice and inclusive mobility for most modes of travel and as such should be supported by the Council, particularly in view of the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 and Cardiff Council’s Transport Strategy which seeks to achieve a 50:50 modal split for all journeys across the City, as well as the targets within the Council’s White Paper that sees a reduction of car journeys. Moreover, it provides a positive contribution in line with the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and hence should be encouraged.
