1 Introduction

1.1 Background

Strategic Junction Review

Wealden District Council LDF development allocations and recent development

approvals in the Polegate and Stone Cross areas are expected to generate significant

amounts of additional traffic over the next ten to fifteen years. In order to mitigate

the transport impact of this development, as well as that associated with consented

and LDF development further afield (i.e. in locations like Hailsham and Hellingly),

improvement schemes for a number of key junctions in the Polegate and Stone Cross

vicinities have been developed over recent years. The specific junctions in view are:

the A27, A22 and A2270 signalised junction;

the A2270 and High Street signalised junction;

the A22 and A27 Cophall Roundabout;

the A27 and A22 Golden Jubilee Way Roundabout;

the A22 Golden Jubilee Way and Dittons Road Roundabout; and

the Lion Hill junction (where the Lion Hill and Dittons, Hailsham and Rattle

Roads intersect).

This document describes the exercise undertaken to re-visit existing scheme designs

for these six junctions and provide the information necessary for County

Council Infrastructure Planning Officers to make representations on Wealden

District Council’s Infrastructure Delivery Plan and progress required Trunk Road

Network improvements with the Highways Agency. Other strategic-level schemes

are also raised but are not dealt with at the same level of detail.1

Local Improvement Schemes

A number of local improvement schemes are also identified to complement the

schemes proposed at the six key junctions mentioned above. They vary in scale and

cost, but are all considered relatively important schemes given known issues and

needs in the Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon areas as well as Pevensey in the

east. They are:

the thorough re-casting of Polegate High Street in favour of pedestrians,

cyclists and regular high street uses and activities;

the re-configuration of The Triangle to discourage existing rat-running through

Willingdon on Coppice Avenue and Farmlands Way and also create safer

access to the A2270 from Willingdon;

1 e.g. the A2270 Quality Bus Corridor, the A259 Quality Bus Corridor and the

Hailsham-Eastbourne Express Bus Service. A separate study has been commissioned to explore

and develop these bus-related proposals.

Page 7: POLEGATE Movement & Access Strategy...2015/01/15  · The South Wealden and Eastbourne Transport Study (SWETS), completed in 2010 to support the emerging Wealden Core Strategy, formed

2

a variety of traffic-calming interventions along Coppice Avenue and

Farmlands Way to further discourage rat-running through Willingdon (in

addition to the re-configuration of The Triangle) and also discourage

speeding;2

provision of off-road cycle facilities on B2247 Dittons Road between

A22 Golden Jubilee Way and the Lion Hill junction (where the Lion Hill and

Dittons, Hailsham and Rattle Roads intersect);

shuttle working traffic signals on B2191 Castle Road immediately adjacent the

bend around Pevensey Castle to both protect the castle walls and also

discourage unnecessary “through traffic” on the B2191 (and hence Pevensey

and Westham); and

a pedestrian refuge on Pevensey High Street.

A number of other schemes were also identified for possible investigation and

possible recommendation but were not progressed.

Hailsham and Hellingly Movement and Access Strategy

The exercise described in this document followed a substantial and comprehensive

movement and access investigation for the Hailsham and Hellingly areas.3 The

findings and recommendations of this earlier study were reviewed to confirm their

continued relevance in light of development plans and highways possibilities in the

Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon areas.

1.2 SWETS

The South Wealden and Eastbourne Transport Study (SWETS), completed in 2010 to

support the emerging Wealden Core Strategy, formed the immediate basis of both

this exercise and the previous Hailsham and Hellingly Movement and Access

Strategy. It identified a number of infrastructure and operational interventions (at

a strategic level) necessary to mitigate the impact of future development across the

broader South Wealden and Eastbourne areas generally as well as Polegate,

Stone Cross and Willingdon more specifically. The CUBE/SATURN model,

developed as part of the SWETS study and recently updated to reflect more current

traffic demands and conditions in the Hailsham area (2011), was used in assessing the

strategic junction proposals tabled in this document.

2 The extent to which the identified interventions on Coppice Avenue and Farmlands Way are

actually taken forward and acted on will depend on (i) the degree to which the re-configuration

of The Triangle actually discourages rat-running and (ii) the remaining need to discourage

speeding of local traffic. 3 Documented in Hailsham and Hellingly Movement and Access Strategy, June 2012.

1.3 Funding

In addition to specified highways works4 that must be delivered by developers

themselves, the County Council has secured approximately £800,000 in s106

contributions from developments in the Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon areas

for transport infrastructure improvements or sustainable travel schemes, almost the

whole of which is earmarked for improved bus service provision or traffic calming.

A further £800,000 or so has also been collected by Wealden District Council for

Highways Agency Trunk Road Network improvements.5 Accordingly, and unlike

Hailsham and Hellingly and apart from the £800,000 collected by Wealden

District Council for Trunk Road Network improvements, little money is currently

available for general highway or sustainable travel initiatives, except those being

implemented by developers under s278 agreements (listed in footnote 4) and through

travel plans.

1.4 Phasing & Priorities

Statements are made at various points in this document concerning the delivery

phasing and relative priorities of proposed schemes, all of which consider Polegate,

Stone Cross and Willingdon in isolation from the larger Wealden area. Requirements

in other growth areas – principally, Hailsham and Hellingly – and the balanced

delivery of infrastructure over the whole of Wealden District, dependent on CIL

receipts, may demand some re-prioritisation of funding and phasing of schemes in

Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon themselves. This matter is taken up again in

section 5.1.

4 Including:

a mini-roundabout at the junction of Shepham Lane, Dittons Road and Pevensey Road;

an extension to the 30mph speed limit on Dittons Road;

pedestrian refuges and traffic calming on Dittons Road between Shepham Lane and

the A22;

a combined footway/cycleway on the southern side of Station, Pevensey and

Dittons Roads between High Street and the A22;

re-located, new and improved bus stops on Dittons Road;

an improved entry flare on the eastern approach of the Dittons Road and A22 Golden

Jubilee Way Roundabout;

a footway/cycleway connection between the new development to the northeast of

Shepham Lane and the Cuckoo Trail; and

adequate site accesses to new developments. 5 In accordance with Policy TR3 of the Non-Statutory Local Plan.

The Core Strategy seeks to enhance the role of Polegate, Willingdon and Stone Cross

as service centres serving their local communities and the surrounding area by:

working with Polegate Town Council, Willingdon and Jevington Parish Council

and other partners to build on their visions and ensure that they are developed in

conjunction with Wealden District Council’s LDF Site Allocation Development

Plan Documents;

supporting appropriate development within the built-up area contained within the

Polegate, Willingdon and Stone Cross development boundaries;

allocating, subject to transport capacities, a range of deliverable housing sites for

around 1,350 dwellings - with leisure, recreation and community facilities - and

16,890 sq.metres net employment floorspace;

encouraging development which enhances the range and quality of services and

facilities available to the local communities and improving the environment and

shopping choice in Polegate town centre;

supporting public transport connections with neighbouring settlements,

particularly by promoting the Eastbourne-Hailsham Quality Bus Corridor and

a more integrated approach to the provision of rail and bus services;

ensuring the protection of the Pevensey Levels through appropriate mitigation

measures as part of the Habitat Regulations Assessment; and

ensuring appropriate mitigation measures that protect the hydrology of the

Willingdon and Eastbourne Levels.

The risk to the delivery of this strategy is the highways infrastructure required for the

South Wealden area. Accordingly, highways infrastructure delivery will be

monitored and the spatial strategy reviewed if necessary. Taken (with editing) from Wealden District (Incorporating Part of the South Downs National Park)

2 Status Quo

2.1 General6

Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon – all which have grown in recent years as

a result of housing development associated with previous Wealden Local Plans - are

located immediately to the north and northwest of Eastbourne and immediately to

the south of a countryside gap separating them from Hailsham. Figure 1 on the

following page shows their locations relative to Eastbourne to the south, Pevensey to

the east, Hailsham to the north and Lewes to the west.

The three areas are fairly well-served by good highways and public transport

connections - the latter with Eastbourne as well as the wider east, west and north.

A neighbourhood centre in Polegate, with a range of local community facilities,

supplies the basic needs of the residents of the three areas. Unfortunately, because of

the limited employment and facilities available locally, all three areas rely heavily on

Eastbourne for employment and shopping requirements. Further, certain key

infrastructure and facilities (including sports and play facilities, an indoor sports hall

and swimming pool) are lacking.

Although the three areas are well-placed to use the facilities at nearby Langney,

helping regeneration in the Langney area and reinforcing economic regeneration

within South Wealden and Eastbourne generally, a need still exists to improve the

employment and housing offer across the three areas if they are to become more

attractive to those considering a move into them to work or live. Further, there is also

a need for family-sized homes to complement the provision of smaller units within

Eastbourne.

In addition to addressing the need for housing in the South Wealden and Eastbourne

areas generally, the provision of more housing and employment in Polegate,

Stone Cross and Willingdon will help the economy of South Wealden and will also

maximise the potential for an enhanced shopping offer within Polegate town centre

itself. Unfortunately, Polegate town centre is negatively affected by frequent level-

crossing barrier closures. Parking around the station is also an issue. Further,

opportunity for town expansion - for retail and employment purposes - is limited, as

is general expansion for increased housing provision. The surrounding landscape,

which forms a backdrop to Polegate, Willingdon and to a lesser extent Stone Cross, is

dominated by the chalk uplands of the South Downs National Park to the southwest

and rural land to the north and west. In fact, panoramic views from the Downs limit

urban expansion opportunities, particularly against the rural backdrop to the north

and west.7 Existing highway corridors also present firm limits to the outward

extension of Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon.8

2.2 Movement & Access Networks

Figures 2a and 2b on the following page show the existing road networks and

modelled 2011 AM and PM weekday peak hour traffic volumes in Polegate,

Stone Cross and Willingdon. Figure 3 on page 8 shows the existing bus network and

average daytime hourly regular bus service volumes.

Figures 2a, 2b and 3 show that Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon are well-located

from the movement and access perspectives. In addition to being located next to

the A22, A27 and A2270, good or reasonable public transport links by rail or bus

provide connections to nearby settlements like Eastbourne and Hailsham as well as

Hastings, London and Brighton – the latter two via Lewes.

Although the A27 Polegate By-Pass (delivered just over 10 years ago) relieved

Polegate’s local road network, the A2270 running into Eastbourne is still very heavily

congested. Further, the junction of the A27, A22 and A2270 remains busy.

Unfortunately, and for physical feasibility and cost reasons, the proposed

“Folkington Link” – a link road connecting Cophall Roundabout to the north of

Polegate directly with the A27 heading towards Lewes, effectively completing the

Polegate By-Pass - is not in any current sub-regional delivery programme.

Development in Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon, and further afield in

Eastbourne, Hailsham and Hellingly, will place increasing demands on the strategic

road network, necessitating highway improvements at the following junctions at the

very least:

the A27, A22 and A2270 signalised junction;

the A2270 and High Street signalised junction;

the A22 and A27 Cophall Roundabout;

7 The 2005 Non-Statutory Wealden Local Plan identified a site to the northwest of Polegate in the

vicinity of Honey Farm for urban expansion. In order to ensure proper integration into the town,

the development proposal was dependent on the provision of the proposed Folkington Link and

other community and connecting infrastructure, none of which has been realised in fact or

committed planning. Further, in the interim the South Downs achieved National Park status.

Accordingly, the site is no longer considered suitable for housing. A development scheme for

the site was submitted and refused in 2011. A subsequent appeal on the part of the developer

failed. 8 Transport and spatial -related constraints aren’t the only things limiting development.

Development in Polegate, Willingdon and Stone Cross is also constrained by the capacity of the

local waste water treatment works and the impact of treated effluent on the Pevensey Levels.

Wealden District Council’s current development proposals reflect this constraint. Additional

development will only be considered if it can be accommodated by the existing works or an

alternative location for the treatment and discharge of waste water is identified.

the A27 and A22 Golden Jubilee Way Roundabout;

the A22 Golden Jubilee Way and Dittons Road Roundabout; and

the Lion Hill junction (where the Lion Hill and Dittons, Hailsham and Rattle

Roads intersect).

Bus service enhancements – particularly, the A2270 Quality Bus Corridor, the A259

Quality Bus Corridor and the Hailsham-Eastbourne Express Bus Service - will also be

necessary.

2.3 Recent Past & Near Future

Recently approved planning applications involve s106 and s278 agreements which

have or will shortly deliver a number of significant highway or bus service

improvements for the locality, the most important of which being:

a mini-roundabout at the junction of Shepham Lane, Dittons Road and

Pevensey Road;

an extension to the 30mph speed limit on Dittons Road;

pedestrian refuges and traffic calming on Dittons Road between Shepham Lane

and the A22;

a combined footway/cycleway on the southern side of Station, Pevensey and

Dittons Roads between High Street and the A22;

re-located, new and improved bus stops on Dittons Road;

an improved entry flare on the eastern approach of the Dittons Road and

A22 Golden Jubilee Way Roundabout;

a footway/cycleway connection between the development to the northeast of

Shepham Lane and the Cuckoo Trail;

adequate site accesses to new developments, and

improved bus services.

Figure 4 shows the locations of most of the above.

2.4 Planned Development

Without in any way discounting the value of any of the schemes listed above and the

improvements they bring to the transport network in Polegate, they do not provide

that step-change necessary to handle planned LDF development within the Polegate,

Stone Cross and Willingdon areas and South Wealden generally. Figure 5 shows the

locations and development quanta involved.9

9 The development quanta cited in Figure 5 reflect those assumed in the modelling exercise. There

may be differences between them and official LDF figures.

Traffic modelling clearly shows that currently expected or planned growth for the

Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon areas will significantly increase traffic

pressures on the local and strategic road networks, particularly:

the A27, A22 and A2270 signalised junction;

the A2270 and High Street signalised junction;

the A22 and A27 Cophall Roundabout;

the A27 and A22 Golden Jubilee Way Roundabout;

the A22 Golden Jubilee Way and Dittons Road Roundabout; and

the Lion Hill junction (where the Lion Hill and Dittons, Hailsham and Rattle

Roads intersect).

Figure 6 shows the locations of these junctions.

Outline designs for the improvement of all six junctions existed at the time that the

exercise documented in this report commenced.10 Further, Wealden District Council

has collected a substantial amount of money for improvements to the junctions

located on the Highways Agency Trunk Road Network - namely:

the A27, A22 and A2270 signalised junction;

the A22 and A27 Cophall Roundabout; and

the A27 and A22 Golden Jubilee Way Roundabout.

The exercise documented in this report re-visited the existing scheme designs for the

six junctions in the light of updated traffic modelling, confirming or amending them

as necessary and generating cost estimates for budgeting and funding purposes.

Notwithstanding the obvious benefits the proposed junction improvements

potentially offer - particularly in terms of supporting further growth in

South Wealden - it is important to note that a funding gap currently exists and that

the delivery of finally identified schemes will be dependent on development-related

CIL receipts.

2.5 Local Improvement Needs

Strategic junction improvements will address planned development. They will not,

however, address a number of more local but significant needs and issues, including:

Polegate High Street, which generally needs attention and, ideally,

re-configuration in favour of pedestrians, cyclists and regular high street uses

and activities;

the south-north rat-run through Willingdon on Coppice Avenue and

Farmlands Way (bypassing congestion on the A2270);

traffic safety and control issues on the A2270 at The Triangle;

the absence of any formal cycle facilities on the B2147 Dittons Road to the east

of the A22 Golden Jubilee Way, particularly but not only up to the Lion Hill

junction;

a west-south rat-run on Adur Drive;

traffic safety and control issues at Pevensy Castle; and

the absence of pedestrian crossing facilities on Pevensey High Street.

Of less significance are:

an improved northwestern ‘gateway’ into Polegate;

possible pedestrian crossing provision on Hailsham Road for bus users;

possible shelters at bus stops; and

improved Community Centre and Library ‘gateway’ from Station Road (the

current route is somewhat anonymous).

Figure 7 shows the locations of all of the above.

3 Strategic Junction Scheme Reviews

The penultimate sub-section of the previous section of the report (section 2.4) listed

six strategic network junctions at which traffic pressures will significantly increase in

future years due to currently planned development and for which outline

improvement designs exist - namely:

the A27, A22 and A2270 signalised junction;

the A2270 and High Street signalised junction;

the A22 and A27 Cophall Roundabout;

the A27 and A22 Golden Jubilee Way Roundabout;

the A22 Golden Jubilee Way and Dittons Road Roundabout; and

the Lion Hill junction (where the Lion Hill and Dittons, Hailsham and Rattle

Roads intersect).

Figure 6 shows the location of the six junctions, three of which are located on the

Highways Agency’s Trunk Road Network - namely:

the A27, A22 and A2270 signalised junction;

the A22 and A27 Cophall Roundabout; and

the A27 and A22 Golden Jubilee Way Roundabout.

The remainder of this section works sequentially though the six junctions, briefly

describing the exact improvements in view in each case and associated issues and

benefits. For convenience, small tables indicating the basic feasibility, benefits, issues,

estimated cost, ideal timing and pertinent development are inset into the text

addressing each scheme. Table 1 at the end of this section combines all of the

information given in the smaller tables in one location.

3.1 A27, A22 & A2270 Signalised Junction

Figures B1 and B2 in Appendix B provide sketches of two possible improvement

schemes for the junction of the A27, A22 and A2270. The only differences between

them and previous TR3 proposals11 comprise (1) lane widths generally (and their

implications for junction layout), (2) the provision of only one yield-controlled left

turn lane from west to northwest, and (3) in the case of Figure B2, the absence of

pedestrian crossing facilities on the western A27 arm. Approach arrangements are in

all other respects effectively the same. Both schemes assume one rather than two left

turn lanes from west to northwest for safety reasons – articulated vehicles travelling

from west to northwest could easily create an unsafe situation for smaller vehicles

making the same movement, especially with the merge immediately following the

left turn.

11 i.e. Cannon’s Possible TR3 Junction Layout for the junction of the A27, A22 and A2270 (Drawing

Number L371-207, 21.05.08).

Page 23: POLEGATE Movement & Access Strategy...2015/01/15  · The South Wealden and Eastbourne Transport Study (SWETS), completed in 2010 to support the emerging Wealden Core Strategy, formed

18

Traffic modelling shows that the existing junction is already under pressure –

particularly, during the weekday morning peak – and there is limited reserve

capacity to accommodate additional traffic growth.12 Improvements of some type are

essential.

The layouts developed

and tested (see

Figures B1 and B2 in

Appendix B) - both of

which involve

substantial and

relatively costly

re-modelling of the

junction and which,

also, almost represent

the most that can be

done given existing

highways boundaries

and safe design

principles13 – handle

projected 2027

demands; the former

only just. Because the provision of pedestrian crossing facilities on the western arm

significantly affects junction capacity without serving a significant desire line the

layout in Figure B2 is proposed. Further, because the proposed improvements relieve

existing pressures at the junction, are important to strategic traffic movements in the

area generally, as well as into and out of Eastbourne more specifically, and existing

reserve capacities at the junction cannot be expected to last long, they should be

implemented as soon as is practically possible.

Local road arrangements and land uses to the south of the junction necessitate the

retention of the all-movement access to the area immediately south of the western

arm.

12 The existing layout has little more than four to six years reserve capacity assuming linear traffic

growth between 2011 and 2027. 13 A layout with a safe double left turn from west to northwest (as assumed in Cannon’s Possible

TR3 Junction Layout for the junction of the A27, A22 and A2270 - Drawing Number L371-207,

21.05.08) could be generated but (1) will probably not fit within existing highways boundaries,

(2) should assume two northbound lanes up to and over the road-over-rail bridge, and (3) will,

accordingly, cost a lot more than the proposed schemes.

Basic Feasibility Benefits Issues

3.2 A2270 & High Street Signalised Junction

Another important improvement scheme comprises the proposed improvement of

the junction of the A2270 and Polegate High Street. The A2270 running through

Polegate and Willingdon is clearly the most important access corridor into

Eastbourne from the northwest from both the general highway traffic and local bus

commuting perspectives. Current capacity-related issues at the junction of the A2270

with Polegate High Street, therefore, not only affect strategic access but also

undermine bus operations and the attractiveness of public transport as a mode for

commuters – particularly work commuters - travelling into and out of Eastbourne

from the west and north. Traffic modelling shows that the existing junction is already

under significant pressure – particularly, during the weekday afternoon peak when

over-capacity conditions easily develop. There is insufficient capacity to

accommodate existing demands, let alone additional traffic growth. Improvements

of some type are essential.

Figures B3 and B4 in

Appendix B provide

sketches of a two-

stage improvement

scheme developed for

the junction of the

A2270 and

High Street. They

differ significantly

from the previous TR3

proposals which

could not handle

projected traffic

demands.14 The most

significant difference

comprises the

provision of yield-

controlled left-turn

slips on either just the

northeast (Stage 1:

Figure B3) or both

minor approaches

(Stage 2: Figure B4).

As suggested by the titles of Figures B3 and B4, a staged approach to the

14 2027 capacity shortfalls associated with the previous TR3 proposals are substantial.

Basic Feasibility Benefits Issues

Yes Significant strategic network benefits

Improved bus movement for services travelling between Polegate and Eastbourne on the A2270 and via Willingdon

Failure to deliver proposed scheme will have significant implications for the Core Strategy’s Mornings Mill site and the Quality Bus Corridor between Polegate and Eastbourne

Existing highway boundaries present significant constraints on at least two of the four arms (northeast and southeast)

Need to retain unsignalised pedestrian crossings over minor approaches (zebra crossings could be provided over the left turn slips)

Utilities generally, but more particularly in the western corner (raised bank) of the junction significantly inflate construction cost estimates

Existing bus stop on the southeastern approach will have to be within the carriageway

Traffic disruption during construction

Estimated Cost

Pertinent Consented, Planned or Expected

£710k Of particular benefit to the Mornings Mill site as well as general strategic-level into and out of Eastbourne

20

improvement of the junction is proposed. The High Street left-turn slip is clearly

necessary to the efficient operation of the Quality Bus Corridor. Wannock Road,

however, already accommodates a south-to-north rat-run and easing the access from

it onto the A2270 via the provision of a left-turn slip will encourage continued and

perhaps even increased rat-running. Accordingly, a left-turn slip on the

Wannock Road approach should be introduced only if and when necessary.15 In the

first instance, therefore, the layout shown in Figure B3 should be implemented. More

detailed traffic analysis may even allow – at least temporarily - a Wannock Road

approach without a dedicated left turn slot with a kerb line in the western quadrant

of the junction following the dotted line. Such a kerb line could be associated with

significant implementation cost savings (utilities in the raised bank in the western

corner of the junction contribute significantly to implementation costs).

Modelling shows that the given layouts can only provide sufficient capacity into the

future if all minor approach pedestrian crossings are unsignalised.16 Zebra crossings

could be provided over the left-turn slip facilities. Importantly, the given layouts are

wholly located within highways boundaries17 and the tree in the northern corner of

the junction quadrant is not affected. Further, the proposed yield-controlled left-turn

slip on the northeastern High Street approach will improve southbound bus services

turning left into A2270.

Given the importance of this junction for general highway network

capacities (particularly into and out of Polegate and Eastbourne), local and

inter-urban public transport operations and the Core Strategy’s Mornings Mill site,

the delivery of improvements approximating to or identical to those proposed is

critically important.

15 Monitoring of the junction and broader traffic movements – particularly rat-running on

Wannock Road - once the first left-turn slip is in will indicate whether the second slip is

necessary.

16 The existing pedestrian crossings over the High Street and Wannock Road approaches are

uncontrolled. Uncontrolled pedestrian crossings might prove an issue. Controlled crossings,

however, will demand a step-change in junction layout and cost which is likely to be

unaffordable.

17 i.e. no third party land is required.

3.3 A22 & A27 Cophall Roundabout

The A22 and A27 Cophall Roundabout comprises another junction for which

improvement schemes were explored. The current junction - which has limited

capacity, largely because of its large size and high circulatory speeds which make

entry difficult - will not

cope with forecast

demands. Further,

inter-urban bus

operations will suffer

increasing delays,

impairing the

attractiveness of bus as

a mode. Accordingly,

junction improvements

are essential to broader

Quality Bus Corridor

initiatives.

Figure B5 in Appendix B

provides a sketch of the

proposed improvement scheme. There is only one difference between it and

previous TR3 proposals – namely, the absence of signalised pedestrian crossings over

the southern (A22) arm.18 The absence of signalised pedestrian crossings over the

southern (A22) arm – more specifically, over the southbound exit – addresses

potential negative public reaction to the implementation of signals at the roundabout.

Although developing demands at the roundabout might allow the phased

implementation of signalisation, all approaches to the roundabout will need to be

signalised if 2027 outturn volumes reflect modelled projections.19

18 Capacity considerations - more particularly, queuing on the pedestrian crossing over the

southbound exit - demand their omission. The relatively recent provision of a pedestrian

crossing over the A22 (just north of the allotments allows their omission. 19 A series of sensitivity tests using the TRANSYT models prepared to test improvement proposals

confirmed this.

3.4 A27 & A22 Golden Jubilee Way Roundabout

Modelling suggests that the current layout of the A27 and A22 Golden Jubilee Way

Roundabout should suffice for at least another eight years (i.e. to 2020) assuming

a linear take-up of planned development. After that point, however, traffic on the

eastern arm will start to

encounter capacity

conditions. Figure B6 in

Appendix B shows the

proposed

improvements.

There is only one

difference between the

scheme shown in

Figure B6 and previous

TR3 proposals – namely,

the extent of the

modifications proposed

for the eastern arm. The

localised widening shown in the previous TR3 proposals is inadequate to cope with

2027 demands – a much more substantial widening stretching 60m to 80m back from

the roundabout is required.

It is worth noting that the modest widening on the western approach assumed in the

previous TR3 proposals is retained as proposed. It has more to do with vehicle

operating behaviour than capacity. A site visit revealed significant “over-run”

activity.

3.5 A22 Golden Jubilee Way & Dittons Road Roundabout

Figure B7 in Appendix B shows the improvement proposals for the A22 Golden

Jubilee Way and Dittons Road Roundabout. They comprise a combination of

previous TR3 and recent Planning Application proposals – the latter because the TR3

proposals cannot handle

2027 projected

demands.

Modelling suggests that

the current layout

should suffice for at

least another eight

years (i.e. to 2020)

assuming a linear

take-up of planned

development. After that

point, however, traffic

on the eastern arm will start to encounter over-capacity conditions.

3.6 Lion Hill & Rattle, Hailsham & Dittons Roads Signalised Junction

Planned development off Rattle Road necessitates improvements of some type at the

junction of Lion Hill and Rattle, Hailsham and Dittons Roads. The existing signalised

junction, which gets busy in

the morning and afternoon

peak periods, is inadequate for

projected demands. Further,

pedestrians are not suitably

accommodated. The proposed

improvement of the junction of

South and Ersham Roads in

Hailsham potentially

aggravates matters, if suitable

disincentives aren’t

implemented,20 by making

the B2104 a much more

attractive north-south route for traffic travelling between Hailsham and northeastern

Eastbourne than the A22.

The junction improvements shown in Figure B8 in Appendix B are those proposed in

a recent Planning Application.21 They reflect both the minimum that should be done

and, potentially, the maximum that can be considered if existing highway boundaries

are to be respected and the B2104 is not to become over-trafficked. Fortunately,

modelled capacity shortfalls associated with the proposed scheme are within ranges

that may, with creative signalling, assist a strategy (including traffic calming and

speed reduction measures on the B2104 between Hailsham and Stone Cross) that

discourages use of the B2104.22

4 Local Improvement Needs

The final sub-section of section 2 of the report (section 2.5) listed a number of local

but significant needs and issues - namely:

Polegate High Street, which generally needs attention and, ideally,

re-configuration in favour of pedestrians, cyclists and regular high street uses

and activities;

the south-north rat-run through Willingdon on Coppice Avenue and

Farmlands Way (bypassing congestion on the A2270);

traffic safety and control issues on the A2270 at The Triangle;

the absence of any formal cycle facilities on the B2147 Dittons Road to the east

of the A22 Golden Jubilee Way, particularly but not only up to the Lion Hill

junction;

a west-south rat-run on Adur Drive;

traffic safety and control issues at Pevensy Castle; and

the absence of pedestrian crossing facilities on Pevensey High Street.

Of less significance are:

an improved northwestern ‘gateway’ into Polegate;

possible pedestrian crossing provision on Hailsham Road for bus users;

possible shelters at bus stops; and

improved Community Centre and Library ‘gateway’ from Station Road (the

current route is somewhat anonymous).

The following outlines proposals for the first seven needs and issues. Subsequent

planning work may take up the additional four.

4.1 Polegate High Street Public Realm Improvements

Polegate High Street is currently blighted by narrow footways, numerous side streets

to cross, insufficient pedestrian crossing facilities or opportunities, wide vehicular

ways at points,

especially adjacent

the station shopping

area and poor quality

as well as dated

public realm.

Further, High Street

visitors include a lot

of elderly people and

also carers with

people with varying

disabilities.

A distinct need exists

for a re-vamp and,

ideally, re-

configuration in favour of pedestrians, cyclists and regular high street uses and

activities. Figure B9 in Appendix B shows concept-level improvement possibilities.

Although independently described, each improvement element forms a part of

a complete scheme totally re-casting the High Street along its entire length. If the

28

improvements indicated in Figure B9 were implemented in a piecemeal and ad hoc

fashion, benefits would be both limited and potentially ineffective. A continuous

scheme with subtle shifts in highway cross-sections on the approach to local activity

‘nodes’ will be much better and, overall, much more effective. Unfortunately,

a coherent and high quality end-to-end (i.e. Albert Place to St John’s Road) full public

realm and possibly ‘shared space’ scheme (at least at points) could cost a significant

amount of money – anything between £2.5 and £3.75 million. Lower specification

materials, focused on particular areas, could need a budget between £750,000 and

£1 million.

In developing a final scheme, planners and designers will have to clearly identify

existing and future possible pedestrian desire lines as well as historic collision

records. Existing flooding issues will also have to be considered. Although a full

public realm or shared space scheme will naturally provide for cyclists better, cycle

safety will also have to be explicitly considered and designed for.

A significant feature of the proposals shown for the High Street to the south of the

level crossing is the closure of the southern approach of St John’s Road onto the High

Street. The existing triangle at St John’s Road is not only small but looks unused,

probably because it is a bit of an ‘island’. Connecting it directly to the church to the

south (i) takes out a road crossing and (ii) makes more of the asset and the seating

and tree on it. The High Street dominates life on the street over extended lengths, the

peninsularisation of the island recaptures something for public realm.

4.2 Re-Configuration of The Triangle

The most obvious way to discourage existing rat-running through Willingdon on

Coppice Avenue and Farmlands Way is to re-configure The Triangle. Such re-

configuration should also

address existing safety issues

where The Triangle intersects

with the A2270.

Figure B10 in Appendix B

shows concept-level

improvement possibilities,

featuring the total closure of

the southern junction of

The Triangle and the provision

of an all movements signalised

junction to the north. The

existing car dealer will

continue to enjoy access

directly off the A2270.

One of the advantages of the

setting is that the new all movements signalised junction to the north can be largely

constructed without disrupting movements out of Willingdon to the north (away

from Eastbourne) or south (to Eastbourne).

The ‘string’ of traffic calming interventions on Coppice Avenue and Farmlands Way

to the north of “The Triangle” addressed in section 4.3 below were identified to

29

complement the proposals for The Triangle. Together, they will create a more

visibly-calmed route, discouraging the south-north rat-run through Willingdon and

also local speeding (there is not necessarily a speed problem). It is debateable

whether they will be sufficient to completely discourage the rat-running. Indeed,

they may only prove an irritant to local residents. The best solution by far to existing

rat-running lies in an effective solution at “The Triangle”. One there, however, may

still need a little bit of help further north.

4.3 Coppice Avenue and Farmlands Way Traffic Calming

As stated above, the most obvious way to discourage existing rat-running through

Willingdon on Coppice Avenue and Farmlands Way is to re-configure

The Triangle (see section 4.2).

Should the re-configuration of

The Triangle be impossible,

steps will have to be taken to

discourage ‘through traffic’

from using Coppice Avenue

and Farmlands Way.

Figure B11 in Appendix B

shows concept-level traffic

calming possibilities for the

entire length of the two roads.

Together, they will create

a more visibly-calmed route,

discouraging the south-north rat-run through Willingdon and also local

speeding (there is not necessarily a speed problem). It is debateable whether they

will be sufficient to completely discourage the rat-running. Indeed, they may only

prove an irritant to local residents.

Practically speaking, the re-configuration of The Triangle might not be sufficient in

and of itself to discourage rat-running. In this instance, some or all of the identified

traffic calming interventions can be used to complement the proposals for

The Triangle. The extent to which the identified interventions on Coppice Avenue

and Farmlands Way are actually taken forward and acted on will depend on (i) the

degree to the re configuration of The Triangle actually discourages rat-running and

(ii) the remaining need to discourage speeding of local traffic.

4.4 B2147 Dittons Road Cycle Provision

There are no formal cycle facilities on the B2147 Dittons Road to the east of the

A22 Golden Jubilee Way,

particularly but not only up to

the Lion Hill junction.

Figure B12 in Appendix B

shows concept-level off-road

cycle path proposals on the

B2247 Dittons Road between

the A22 Golden Jubilee Way

and Lion Hill junction (where

the Lion Hill and Dittons,

Hailsham and Rattle Roads

intersect).

As indicated in the table, there

are locations where the 3m

minimum width is not

possible.

4.5 Castle Road Shuttle Working

B2191 Castle Road is relatively narrow and also close up against the outer Pevensey

Castle (Roman) walls as it curves around them. Large heavy vehicles struggle to

negotiate the bend against

oncoming traffic. Indeed,

there is evidence that large

heavy vehicles are clipping the

castle walls. There is not much

scope, if any, for widening.

Shuttle working appears to be

the only option available.

Given limited sight distances,

shuttle working will have to be

signalised rather than pure

sight basis (mirror-based

control was investigated but

available sight distances

preclude it).

Figure B13 in Appendix B shows a concept-level signalised shuttle working on B2191

Castle Road immediately adjacent the bend around the castle walls. Such a scheme

will not only protect the castle walls but also discourage unnecessary “through

traffic”on the B2191.

5 Delivery Strategy

The importance and timing of the junction improvements addressed in the previous

section of the report vary. Table 3 at the back of this section of the document times

the junction improvements according to the “short”, “medium” and “long” terms.

For consistency with the previous Hailsham and Hellingly work, the priority status of

each of the junction improvements is also indicated and inter-dependencies are

supplied where relevant. As shown in the table all of the junction improvements

dealt with in this document are categorised as “essential”. The schemes presented in

Table 3 could, if all delivered, represent a total spend of an estimated £2.6 to

£2.7 million over the fifteen years between 2012/13 and 2027 excluding the commuted

sums required by HA for three of the schemes. It is possible that the total spend will

increase to anything between £5.0 and £5.2 million when the commuted sums

required by HA for three of the schemes are included23.

The delivery phasing and relative priorities of proposed schemes suggested in

Table 3 are ideal, considering the Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon areas in

isolation from the larger Wealden area and assuming adequate funding for

everything that needs to be done in Wealden as a whole. In reality there is a funding

gap. Requirements in other growth areas – principally, Hailsham and Hellingly –

and the balanced delivery of infrastructure over Wealden District as a whole,

dependent on CIL receipts, may therefore demand some re-prioritisation of funding

and phasing of schemes within Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon themselves.

Strategy Objective and Residual Issues

It needs to be noted that the proposed junction improvements do not offer to address

all future movement and access needs within Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon.

Nor do they promise to sustain the status quo in terms of traffic operating conditions

in the same areas. Improvements at all six junctions, however, must be delivered if

future planned development is to occur without unacceptable movement and access

conditions developing and planned bus service enhancements being undermined or

threatened by existing strategic bottlenecks. Specific planning applications, as they

come forward, will identify further improvements. Further, the ongoing planning

and design of schemes like the proposed Hailsham-Eastbourne Express Bus Service

will also identify further improvement requirements.

It is worthwhile noting that at least one residual issues remains: Existing

improvement proposals for the junction of Lion Hill and Rattle, Hailsham and

Dittons Road, while physically feasible, cannot offer the capacity necessary to cope

with predicted demands. Capacity shortfalls, however, are within ranges that may,

with creative signalling, assist a strategy (including traffic calming and speed

23 Which for the purposes of this particular estimate are assumed to be equal to the initial scheme

estimates.

Appendix A Generic Explanatory Material & Assumptions

A.1 Scheme Identification

The need for improvements at all six of the junctions explored in this exercise was

previously identified during SWETS-related modelling work, earlier Planning

Application –related work or Planning Application –related work immediately

preceding this exercise. The primary sources of improvement proposals, or the issues

associated with them, were:

East Sussex County Council;

Highways Agency;

CH2M HILL, mainly through site visits; and

A.2 Scheme Development & Assessment

Scheme development and assessment, which was never more than feasibility-level in

nature, was progressed to the stage necessary to establish:

deliverability;

financial viability; and

effectiveness at mitigating the traffic impact of consented development and

future allocations.

Generally speaking, proposed schemes were addressed to the level necessary to gain

a sufficiently clear understanding of their relative merits or otherwise while

respecting the available budget and timeline. The scheme development and

assessment process was iterative in nature and involved a relatively close working

relationship between CH2M HILL, the County Council and Highways Agency.

Although safety audit was not formally required, safety considerations were amongst

the issues taken into account in scheme development and feasibility assessment.

Input materials used by the planners and designers in testing and developing

schemes included:

existing designs or materials provided by ESCC;

standard OS mapping and backgrounds;

internet-based materials (e.g. Google Streetview); and

information obtained from site visits and surveys (e.g. photos and

measurements).

All six schemes required traffic modelling. This was undertaken using a version of

the SWETS (South Wealden and Eastbourne Transport Study) model accepted by

Highways Agency for this purpose (more up-to-date origin-destination data will be

necessary when schemes are progressed further) and local ARCADY, LINSIG and

TRANSYT modelling. A fuller description of the modelling exercise can be found in

Appendix C.

A.3 Scheme Costs

The scheme costs presented in the main part of the document are feasibility or outline

in nature and were prepared using a variety of cost sources. Primary sources

included:

SPON’s Civil Engineering and Highway Works Price Book, 2011;

typical term maintenance contract prices; and

known planning, design and implementation costs.

Informed and benchmarked professional judgment was essential in numerous

instances, especially given the nature and context of certain schemes. For all except

the simplest and most predictable schemes, uncertainty was captured through the use

of a standard 44% optimism bias.

A.4 Scheme Priority & Timing

Certain schemes are given very specific delivery timings or priorities. These were

determined using:

current network operating conditions and constraints;

model results, including simple interpolation between different model tests;

and

Page 44: POLEGATE Movement & Access Strategy...2015/01/15  · The South Wealden and Eastbourne Transport Study (SWETS), completed in 2010 to support the emerging Wealden Core Strategy, formed

professional judgement.

Given that the modelling that was undertaken assuming only one forecast

horizon (2027), the extent to which model results could inform timing decisions was

limited.

Appendix C Modelling Work

C.1 General

All six junction improvement schemes considered in the Polegate, Stone Cross and

Willingdon Strategic Junction Review required traffic modelling. This was

undertaken, at the strategic level, using the SWETS (South Wealden and Eastbourne

Transport Study) TRIPS/SATURN model, which was initially developed for the

SWETS study, but more recently updated to reflect more current (2011) highway

traffic demands and conditions in the Hailsham and Polegate areas. Local ARCADY,

LINSIG and TRANSYT modelling was also undertaken for all six junctions. In all

instances, local modelling used demands reflecting strategic model -adjusted

observed flows.28

Apart from a few amendments, the SWETS model was used as received from its

original developers and users - Transport Planning International Ltd (TPi). The 2027

forecast year was retained along with the 2027 Reference Case matrices that came

with the model (prepared by TPi using TEMPRO 6.2). Amendments effected to the

model by CH2M HILL included:

developing a more integrated CUBE-based operating platform (still retaining

TRIPS within a CUBE environment), allowing multiple scenarios to be easily

set up and the AM and PM peak models to be run simultaneously;

correction of inconsistent forecast mode choice pivoting set-ups;

a few network coding amendments;

GAP factor amendments at a number of junctions to reflect either more realistic

values or “unlock” network access point bottlenecks;

model changes necessary to undertake the specific tests associated with the

project:

- modifications of the connectors for zones 602 and 5108 so that traffic

generated by the Hailsham development areas either side of the A22 in the

vicinity of Hempstead Lane were more distinctly loaded to the network;

- modification to the connectors for zone 874 so that traffic generated by the

development areas within is more realistic;

- removal of the traffic penalties on link 926-9261 to allow traffic to freely

exit and enter Hailsham’s Welbury Farm development;

- coding up of all committed network improvements and services;

28 i.e. SATURN model flows were not used “as is” or alone, but rather in combination with

observed flows. More specifically, local model demands comprised observed flows adjusted for

modelled changes.

Page 48: POLEGATE Movement & Access Strategy...2015/01/15  · The South Wealden and Eastbourne Transport Study (SWETS), completed in 2010 to support the emerging Wealden Core Strategy, formed

- coding up of all of the schemes tested – highway and public transport - as

part of the project; and

- preparation of new consented and planned development forecast matrices

reflecting consented development within Hailsham, Hellingly and

Polegate and LDF allocations within South Wealden and Eastbourne.

C.2 Development Assumptions, Trip Rates & Trip End Estimates

Tables C1 to C3 show the development assumptions, trip rate assumptions and trip

end estimates used to generate new forecast year matrices reflecting consented

development within Hailsham, Hellingly and Polegate and LDF allocations within

South Wealden and Eastbourne. Figure 5 in the main part of the document shows the

locations of development in the Polegate, Stone Cross and Willingdon areas.

The development quanta cited in Table C1 and shown in Figure 5 in the main part of

the document reflect those assumed in the modelling exercise. There may be

differences between them and official LDF figures.

The trip rates shown in Table C2 were, for the most part, taken directly from

Tables 2.5 to 2.8 of TPi's SWETS Stage 3 Technical Note addressing “LDF Spatial

Options Testing”. The original TPi Note did not supply specific rates for all uses in

all areas. In such cases, suitable rates were inferred from available rates.

Table C2: AM & PM Peak Hour Trip Rate Assumptions Note: The trip rates shown in the table were, for the most part, taken directly from Tables 2.5 to 2.8 of TPi's SWETS Stage 3 Technical Note addressing “LDF Spatial Options Testing”. The original TPi Note did not supply specific rates for all uses in all areas. In such cases, suitable

rates were inferred from available rates. Although the PM peak hour residential trip rates for Herstmonceux, Berwick, Ninfield, Magham Down and Upper Dicker are low, model interrogation shows they do not affect the robustness of model results generally or, more particularly, the

operation of and case for proposed highway improvements.

C.3 Traffic Growth

The highway traffic growth implicit to the TEMPRO 6.2 -based 2027 Reference Case

and 2027 Consented and Planned Development matrices over the 2011 Base Year is

shown in Table C4 for the entire SWETS model as well as the Polegate and

Stone Cross areas alone. Polegate and Stone Cross clearly face substantial levels of

traffic growth in the next 15 years.

C.4 Scenarios Modelled

A variety of different tests were undertaken in the Hailsham and Hellingly study, of

which only three were re-tested for the Polegate and Stone Cross study. Table C5

provides information concerning tests that were prepared, run and used.

Importantly, because Consented and Planned Development was tested as a single

package, and model zoning is a little too grainy to read too much into the specific

impacts of individual development sites, certain results may raise questions of

detail (e.g. site access provision) that are not immediately answerable by existing

model runs or further runs with the model as it is currently configured.

C.5 Mode Shift

Full mode split modelling was undertaken for all of the forecast tests shown in

Table C5. Table C6 shows the magnitudes of the public transport shifts for

a sub-section of the tests shown in Table C5. Importantly, they are either very close

to or effectively the same to those previously obtained during the earlier Hailsham

and Hellingly modelling exercise.

C.6 Junction Modelling Results

Tables C7 to C15 and C18 to C23 provide a range of SATURN, LINSIG, TRANSYT

and ARCADY summary results generated by the strategic and local modelling

exercises. The exact software used at each point is indicated.

Tables C16 and C17 summarise the traffic flows generated by the strategic model or

derived for local modelling purposes using the strategic model and observed flows.

The following briefly records the most obvious and pertinent conclusions that can be

drawn from the highway modelling results:

Forecast year model results bear out the point already made concerning traffic

growth – namely, that consented and planned development results in

substantial increases in traffic at all of the junctions considered relative to

existing levels. As expected, traffic delays and queues increase substantially

too. Indeed, in all instances traffic delays and queues increase unacceptably

without improvements of some type.

Improvement proposals vary in the extent to which they successfully address

existing and future network issues and/or provide additional future reserve

capacity. In this respect, the junction improvements proposed for the

following junctions more than address network issues:

- the A22 and A27 Cophall Roundabout (Figure B5 in Appendix B)

- the A27 and A22 Golden Jubilee Way Roundabout (Figure B6 in

Appendix B)

- the A22 Golden Jubilee Way and Dittons Road Roundabout (Figure B7 in

Appendix B)

This does not mean, however, that anything less will cope with 2027 forecast

flows. The improvements proposed at all three junctions reflect the minimum

necessary.29

In the case of the following junctions, the improvement proposals either just or

don’t quite supply enough capacity:

- the A27, A22 and A2270 signalised junction (Figures B1 and B2 in

Appendix B)

- the A2270 and Polegate High Street signalised junction (Figure B4 in

Appendix B)

- the Lion Hill junction, where the Lion Hill and Dittons, Hailsham and

Rattle Roads intersect (Figure B8 in Appendix B)

29 A series of tests were undertaken for the A22 and A27 Cophall Roundabout to confirm whether

current improvement proposals are wholly necessary (i.e. whether every arm requires signalling

and whether the widening proposed for the southeastern section of the circle is necessary).

These tests clearly showed that if 2027 outturn volumes reflect modelled projections, all of the

approaches to the roundabout will need to be signalised. The widening in the southeastern

section is also necessary. It is possible, however, that developing demands might allow a phased

implementation of signalisation.

In the case of the last-mentioned, currently proposed improvements30 reflect

both the minimum that should be done and, potentially, the maximum that can

be considered if existing highway boundaries are to be respected and the B2104

is not to become over-trafficked. Fortunately, modelled capacity shortfalls

associated with the proposed scheme are within ranges that may, with creative

signalling,31 assist a strategy (including traffic calming and speed reduction

measures on the B2104 between Hailsham and Stone Cross) that discourages

use of the B2104.32

30 Waterman Boreham’s Proposed Junction Arrangement with Part Controlled Pedestrian Crossing

Facilities (Drawing Number 17; 20.02.12). 31 i.e. (1) the simultaneous staging of east and west approaches followed by a dedicated west

approach stage to accommodate a protected right turn for the heavy west to south right turn,

and (2) an internal stop line at the pedestrian crossing over the western arm exit. 32 See relevant sections of the Hailsham & Hellingly Movement & Access Study, June 2012.
