1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Mewies Engineering Consultants Ltd (M-EC) has been commissioned by Stone Planning

Services Limited on behalf of their client Mr Charles Holden to produce a Transport

Statement (TS) in support of a planning application for the development of a Travelling

Showmen site at Gors Farm, Gors Road, Towyn. A site location plan can be seen below:

Figure 1 - Site Location Plan

1.2 This TS will provide information relating to the following:

Review of existing site conditions including sustainability/accessibility;

Details of the proposed development;

Analysis of accident data for the local highway network;

Application Site

2.0 SITE INFORMATION

Existing Site

2.1 The site is located approximately 1.2km south from the centre of Towyn seaside resort

situated on the North Wales coast. Other settlements near to the site include Rhyl; a seaside

town approximately 5.1km to the north-east, and Abergele; a small market town

approximately 4.8km to the south-west.

2.2 The irregular site, whilst currently unused, previously received planning consent for a

leisure resort. The permitted ‘Gors Leisure’ site was to provide the following facilities on

the development site, many of which were set to be available for non-resident use:

Two-storey hotel;

20 x two-storey lodges;

Restaurant and tea rooms;

Swimming pool;

Gymnasium, and;

Classic car museum.

2.3 The existing site has two access points as demonstrated in Figure 2 overleaf. The northern

access adjacent to the River Gele bridge currently provides access for agricultural land and

to a workshop barn both adjacent to the north of the site.

Page 7: PROPOSED LAND USE CHANGE, GORS FARM, GORS ROAD … · 2017-05-03 · Transport Statement – Gors Road, Towyn Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 5 Review of traffic impact, comparing

Figure 2 - Existing Access Points

Local Highway Network

2.4 The site is accessed on its eastern boundary via Gors Road; a north-south tarmac

carriageway measuring approximately 4.8m in width, bound by grass verges and

hedgerows on both sides. The carriageway subject to a 60mph speed limit, extends from a

priority junction with the A547 250m south of the site, northbound to the centre of Towyn,

with the speed limit changing to 30mph on entering Towyn; 100m north of the

northernmost site access.

2.5 A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is in place adjacent to the northern site access, covering a

distance of approximately 25m including the River Gele bridge, as shown in Figure 3

overleaf. The TRO essentially restricts vehicles over 7.5 tonnes from using the specified

sections of carriageway:

‘Save as provided in Article 3 of this order no person shall, except upon the direction or

with the permission of a police constable in uniform or of a traffic warden, cause or

permit any vehicle or vehicle and load the combined weight of which exceeds 7.5 tonnes

to proceed in the length of road specified in Schedule 1 to this order’.

Proposed Site

2.6 The development proposal seeks to create a site for Travelling Showmen, the layout of

which can be seen in Figure 4 overleaf, with a larger version provided in Appendix A.

2.7 The site will comprise the following elements:

13 x Park Homes;

Dry storage barn (for equipment maintenance);

Tourer storage compound;

Managers house, and;

External storage yard.

Figure 4 - Proposed Site Layout

2.8 There is a strong Travelling Showmen presence in North Wales as a result of the coastal

entertainment which draws tourists to the area and the number of fairs held throughout

the year in the locality. Residents would primarily attend these events together with similar

events out of North Wales. As a consequence they spend frequent and often lengthy periods

away from their base going from one event to another. They will often take touring caravans

to live in whilst away, once they are back home the touring caravan will be stored in the

secure area and families will live in their Park Home.

Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 10

2.9 There is no adequate Travelling Showmen site in North Wales and a base is needed where

Families can live in close proximity to their equipment. Home and equipment are

inseparable. The site at Gors Road provides a rare opportunity to secure a base.

2.10 As a result of the existing TRO in place on Gors Road as detailed above, the client is

proposing to create a routing agreement, whereby larger vehicles in excess of 7.5 tonnes

using the site will only access/egress the site from Gors Road South; therefore avoiding the

River Gele bridge and its weight limit.

3.0 SUSTAINABILITY

Facilities and Amenities

3.1 To evaluate the sustainability of the site, a number of factors have been interrogated. To

start, an Accessibility Assessment has been undertaken to review the local facilities and

amenities in close proximity of the site, demonstrated in Figure 5 below. Following this,

studies of all sustainable modes of transport (pedestrian, cycling and public transport) have

been undertaken to appraise the existing facilities.

Figure 5 - Local Facilities and Amenities Plan

Source: Google Earth

3.2 The amenities, located in the centre of Towyn, along Towyn Road as highlighted in Figure

5 above, are between 1.1km and 1.7km from the site, with a walking time of 13-20 minutes

and cycling time of 5-7 minutes. The facilities and amenities include multiple

pubs/restaurants, takeaways, indoor arcades, convenience stores, cafes and a pharmacy.

Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 12

3.3 Educational facilities can also be accessed in Towyn as identified on Figure 5. Ysgol Y Foryd

Nursey and Infant school serving ages 3-7 years, and Ysgol Maes Owen Junior School

serving ages 7-11 years are both located approximately 2.3km north-east of the site.

Secondary school education for ages 11-18 can be accessed at Ysgol Emrys Ap Iwan, located

approximately 4.6km south-west of the site in Abergele. The school can be accessed via bus

service 12 as detailed in section 3.7 below, followed by an approximate 6 minute walk (450m)

to the school. Further secondary school opportunities are located in Rhyl; approximately

6.1km east of the site.

Pedestrian Accessibility

3.4 The local facilities and amenities can be accessed by walking north on Gors Road to the

Gors Road/Towyn Road/Sandbank Road crossroad junction, whereby the facilities and

amenities are located east along Towyn Road. Whilst there are no footways adjacent to the

site, a white-lined area is located on the eastern side of Gors Road carriageway,

commencing opposite the northernmost site access, as demonstrated by Figure 6 below.

The white-lined area being approximately 1.8m in width, provides a separated area suitable

for pedestrian use for a distance of approximately 25m, after which a tarmac footway

commences.

Source: Google Maps

3.5 The tarmac footway located on the eastern side of Gors Road carriageway is approximately

2.0-4.0m in width, with areas of intermittent grass verge and dropped kerb areas providing

access to private driveways. Regular street-lighting is found along the footway, providing

uniform lighting.

Public Transport – Bus

3.6 As demonstrated on Figure 5, the closest bus stop within walking distance from the site is

‘Pentecostal Church’ stop, with stops on both sides of Gors Road, located approximately

390m north of the northernmost site access. The stop on the eastern side of the carriageway

comprises a flag-and-pole stop with timetable information, with the stop on the western

side being unmarked. Bus service 46 operates from these bus stops, providing a once per

day service in each direction between Rhyl and Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.

3.7 The more frequent 12 bus service can be accessed from multiple bus stops along Towyn

Road; the closest being ‘Seagull Inn’ approximately 1.0km from the site, comprising a

marked bus layby with an accessible kerb, flag-and-pole and timetable information. Bus

service 12 operates on average every 12 minutes between Rhyl and Llandudno.

3.8 National Express service 555 operating between London and Bangor (Gwynedd) can be

accessed from Bryn Road bus stop. This bus service provides a once per day service in each

direction to local destinations and larger settlements such as Liverpool, Manchester and

Birmingham along its route between London and Bangor (Gwynedd). A summary of all the

above bus services can be seen in Table 1 below.

3.9 The closest railway stations to the site are Abergele & Pensarn railway station; 4.2km north-

west of the site, and Rhyl railway station 5.1km north-east of the site. Both railway stations

are easily accessible via the aforementioned bus service 12, with the service operating at

stops in close proximity of both stations.

3.10 A wide range of local destinations such as Llandudno and Prestatyn, and larger settlements

such as Chester and Manchester can be accessed on approximate hourly basis from

Page 14: PROPOSED LAND USE CHANGE, GORS FARM, GORS ROAD … · 2017-05-03 · Transport Statement – Gors Road, Towyn Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 5 Review of traffic impact, comparing

Abergele & Pensarn railway station. A larger range of destinations can be accessed from

Rhyl railway station including Manchester on an approximate hourly service, Cardiff,

Milton Keynes and London on services every two hours.

Cycling Facilities

3.11 The 2011 Census found that nationally, approximately 2% of people who commute do so

principally by cycle. DfT’s ‘Local Area Walking and Cycling Statistics 2012-2013’ noted that

approximately 15% of the population cycle at least once a month as part of utility or

recreational journey.

3.12 DfT National Statistics fact sheet ‘Cycling in Great Britain’ (January 2003) stated that the

average length of a cycle stage was 2.4 miles (3.86km) and that 90% of cycle trips were under

5 miles (8km) in length. These distances are consistent with the previous PPG13 guidance

which stated that cycling offers strong potential to substitute for car trips for those journeys

under 5km, or those made as part of a multi-modal trip that includes cycling and public

transport (especially rail). A 5km distance is equivalent to a typical cycling time of 15 to 20

minutes.

3.13 A review of sustrans.org.uk highlights that National Cycle Route 5 runs along Towyn

promenade, approximately 1.6km north of the site. The route is 372 miles long, connecting

Reading and Holyhead, with parts of the route currently still under construction. National

Cycle Route 5 in addition to other cycle routes can be seen on Figure 7 below.

4.0 PROPOSED TRIP GENERATION

4.1 This section considers the proposed trip generation from the established extant uses of the

site, compared to the potential trip generation from the proposed site use.

Existing Trip Generation

4.2 The site, whilst currently unused, was previously granted planning approval for the

development of ‘Gors Leisure’; the details of which are provided previously in paragraph

2.2. Due to the fact that no trip rates, or floor areas for the different elements of the extant

permitted use are known, specific trip generation can’t be determined.

4.3 Based on the known permitted elements of ‘Gors Leisure’, it is assumed that the site would

have produced extensive vehicle movements owing to the fact that many elements of the

site such as the restaurant/tea rooms and swimming pool were not restricted to guests

staying at the site, allowing members of the public to use the facilities.

Proposed Trip Generation

4.4 Due to the fact that the proposed site will be utilised by Travelling Showmen, the vehicle

movements produced by the site will be fairly unique and therefore cannot be accurately

assessed through use of a database such as TRICS7, as there are no similar sites listed within

the database. Details of the vehicles associated with the proposed site and a generalised

calendar demonstrating patterns of events the Showmen generally attend throughout the

year have been provided by the client, and are detailed below so as to provide an

understanding of how the site will operate and the vehicle movements that are anticipated.

Total Trips 256 Trips 256 Trips

4.5 In order to provide a robust assessment of the proposed site vehicle movements, the total

64 vehicles associated with the proposed site have been split in to arrivals and departures,

as shown in Table 3 above, based on the approximate events calendar detail provided by the

client.

4.6 Throughout the year approximately 256 trips will be made departing the site as the

Travelling Showmen travel to events, with approximately an additional 256 trips also made

throughout the year accounting for the Showmen returning to the site after events have

Page 17: PROPOSED LAND USE CHANGE, GORS FARM, GORS ROAD … · 2017-05-03 · Transport Statement – Gors Road, Towyn Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 5 Review of traffic impact, comparing

Transport Statement – Gors Road, Towyn

Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 17

finished. The yearly arrival and departure figures have subsequently been divided by 52, so

as to provide approximate average weekly vehicle movements; producing 5 arrivals and 5

departures per week.

4.7 As demonstrated by Table 3, February and June may experience slightly higher two-way

vehicle movements, with averages of 16 departures and 8 arrivals per week.

4.8 It should be noted that the vehicle movements provided are solely an approximation based

on the known number of vehicles associated with the proposed site, and due to the nature

of the Travelling Showmen industry it is not possible to provide an exact calendar of events

or specific vehicle movements, therefore the figures calculated should be used as an

approximate yet robust guide.

4.9 The average weekly arrival and departure figures therefore demonstrate that the proposed

site will produce very low vehicle movements and furthermore, the vehicle movements will

not have a regular presence on the local highway network due to being influenced by

seasonal events and will therefore be offsite for extended periods of time.

4.10 The figures do not take account of any permanent residents of the site that do not attend

the offsite events. Whilst figures for this are unknown, it is very likely that the number of

permanent residents remaining on site will be minor and therefore it is expected that fewer

than 5 arrivals and departures will occur at the site per week associated with these

residents.

4.11 Based on the information provided regarding the vehicle movements for the former

permitted uses of the site and the proposed site, it can be concluded that the proposed site

will have a lesser impact on the local highway network due to the fact that the vehicles will

be offsite travelling to events for extended periods of time, in addition to the fact that the

number of vehicles associated with the site will also be significantly lower; given that the

previous permitted use would have attracted large numbers of vehicle movements from

non-resident use of the facilities.

5.0 ACCIDENT REVIEW

5.1 Personal Injury Accident (PIA) data has been obtained from the website Crashmap.co.uk for

the period 2011-2016 (partial) for the study area shown in Figure 8 below. It should be noted

that the January to June 2016 data is currently provisional, and there is no data available as

of yet for the period June to December 2016. The Crashmap website provides information

about the date, location, severity, number of vehicles involved and number of casualties for

each of the incidents.

Figure 8 – Crashmap Accident Data

Source: www.crashmap.co.uk

5.2 The study area shown in Figure 8 above demonstrates that 2 accidents have occurred within

a 500m radius of the site, with a further 2 accidents just outside of this radius to the south

of the site. This data therefore suggests there is no existing road safety concern and that the

proposed site would therefore not give rise to any additional safety concerns on the

surrounding highway network.

Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 19

6.0 ACCESS

6.1 The site will primarily be accessed via the existing southern access, previously shown in

Figure 2, further shown in Figure 9 below, the details of which can be seen on Drawing No.

22862_08_020_01 in Appendix C.

Figure 9 - Existing Southern Access

Source: Google Earth

6.2 The access will be approximately 7.3m in width, consisting of a bound material for 20m into

the site. Visibility splays of 2.4m x 120m are achievable to the north and south of the access,

in accordance with the recorded 85th percentile speeds as specified by Table 7/1 in DMRB

TD 42/95, as shown in Table 4 overleaf. It should be noted that the existing access and its

visibility splays were accepted for the previous ‘Gors Leisure’ site which was granted

planning approval, with the current proposal also seeking to use the existing access; as

opposed to creating a new access point.

6.3 In order to accommodate the larger vehicles utilising the site, the existing stone wall is to

be removed, and will be reinstated on the new kerbline outside of the visibility envelope. In

addition to this, the southern corner radii will be altered to 15m in order to facilitate the

larger vehicles entering and exiting the site to/from the south as detailed by the proposed

routing agreement. The existing gates will be set back a minimum of 15m from the nearside

channel line, so as to allow sufficient room for large vehicles to enter the site access and not

obstruct Gors Road when waiting for the gates to be opened.

6.4 The stone bridge that currently exists within the site, as demonstrated in Figure 8, will be

removed as part of the alterations to the existing access.

Stone bridge

Transport Statement – Gors Road, Towyn

Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 20

6.5 Pedestrian access will be taken via a new pedestrian link from the north of the site,

providing access to the existing white-lined pedestrian area on the eastern side of Gors

Road, and wider footway network.

Vehicle Tracking

6.6 Drawing No. 22862_08_020_02 in Appendix D demonstrates a low loader vehicle entering

the site in a forward gear, turning within the site and leaving in a forward gear. The vehicle

used is a fair, robust representation of the largest vehicles that will be using the site, with

most vehicles accessing the site being smaller.

Automatic Traffic Count (ATC) Survey

6.7 An ATC survey was carried out from the 1st April 2017 to 7th April 2017, positioned slightly

south of the existing southern access, so as to demonstrate vehicle speeds and flows on the

local highway. The ATC results are summarised in Table 4 below, with the full results

provided in Appendix E.

Table 4 - ATC Survey Results

Northbound Southbound

Average Speed 36.5 mph 37.6 mph

85th Percentile 43.1 mph 45.4 mph

5-day Daily Average Flow 1723 1388

HGV % 8% 10%

6.8 The ATC demonstrated 85th percentile speeds of 43.1 mph northbound and 45.4 mph

southbound. 5-day daily average flows showed that on average a total of 1723 vehicles passed

the site in a northbound direction, with 1388 passing the site in a southbound direction, of

Transport Statement – Gors Road, Towyn

Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 21

7.0 CONCLUSIONS

7.1 This Transport Statement has been created in support of a planning application for the

development of a Travelling Showmen site at Gors Farm, Gors Road, Towyn. A summary of

the relevant points is as follows:

7.2 The site, located approximately 1.2km south of Towyn seaside resort centre on the North

Wales coast, is currently unused however has existing planning consent for ‘Gors Leisure’;

a multi-use site consisting of holiday accommodation, restaurant and tea-room, and

recreational facilities. Many of the approved facilities were set to be utilised by guests and

the general public.

7.3 The site is now proposed to be used by the Travelling Showmen industry, with 13 park

homes, a maintenance barn, storage compound and an external storage yard being part of

the proposals.

7.4 It is anticipated that the site will produce on average 5 arrivals and 5 departures per week;

however whilst this is based on taking an average of approximate movements due to the

unique nature of the site and the Travelling Showmen industry, the vehicles will not have a

regular presence on the local highway due to being offsite for extended periods of time.

7.5 Due to the fact a TRO exists north of the site on the River Gele bridge; providing a weight

limit of 7.5 tonnes, the client is proposing to create a routing agreement whereby the larger

vehicles associated with the site will enter and exit the site from the south on Gors Road, so

as to avoid the 7.5 tonne TRO, also reducing the impact on the local highway by avoiding

travelling through the centre of Towyn.

7.6 It is proposed to use the existing site access, with alterations to accommodate the

anticipated larger vehicles associated with the site. The access will be approximately 7.3m

in width, consisting of a bound material continuing in to the site for 20m. Visibility splays of

2.4m x 120m are achievable to the north and south of the access, in accordance with the 85th

percentile speeds recorded by the ATC as required by TD 42/95.

7.7 A range of amenities and facilities including shops, restaurants and schools are located in

the centre of Towyn; all within 1.8km walking distance of the site. These amenities can be

accessed via a new pedestrian link within the north of the site, providing a connection to the

existing white-lined pedestrian area on the eastern side of Gors Road. Bus services can also

be accessed from the centre of Towyn.

Report Ref: 22862/05-17/4780 Page 22

7.8 A review of the website Crashmap.co.uk shows that two accidents have occurred within a

500m radius of the site, demonstrating that there are no existing safety concerns on Gors

Road that would be exacerbated by the proposed site.

7.9 Based on the information provided above, there are no highways or transportation reasons

why the proposed Travelling Showmen site should not granted planning permission.
