Executive summary
This Transport Assessment (TA) has been prepared in support of the relocation of the nursery, infant and
junior schools components of Gorseinon Primary School onto a single site. This TA has been produced to
provide an overview of key transport considerations linked to the development proposals. It is being
submitted in advance of a Transport Assessment Addendum which will follow when the site masterplan and
existing traffic flow data is available for all study junctions.
The Primary School was formed in September 2012 and currently operates on three separate sites, which
are a short walking distance from each other. This TA has been prepared in support of the second phase of
the development of the school, which involves the relocation of each of the three components on to a single
site at Parc-y Werin.

Introduction
1.1.
Overview
Atkins Transportation has been commissioned by the City and County of Swansea Council
(C&CSC) to undertake a Transport Assessment (TA), Framework School Travel Plan (FSTP) and
Stage 1 Road Safety Audit (RSA) in support of relocation and amalgamation of the nursery,
infants and junior components of Gorseinon Primary School on to a single site.
This TA has been submitted without a full description of the proposed site layout and access
arrangements; and without an appraisal of the traffic impact , as at the time of submission;


Only partial traffic flow data from existing junctions is available,
The proposed site masterplan has not been finalised.
This TA identifies the main transport considerations. It will be supplemented by the provision of
an Addendum TA prior to the determination of the application which will draw on the additional
forthcoming data.
1.2.
Development Summary
Gorseinon Primary School currently operates from three separate sites which are located in close
proximity to each other, to the north of the A4240, as shown in Figure 1.1. The proposed
development would provide a new purpose built school at Parc-y Werin. The development will
create a more appropriate teaching and learning environment which will raise educational
standards, achieve substantial economies of scale and greater operational efficiencies, whilst
addressing a reduction in running cost across the existing buildings.

The forthcoming TA Addendum will also include additional information on forecast traffic impact
from the proposals. It will include a Transport Implementation Strategy (TIS) which will seek to
mitigate any forecast impacts of the development and to encourage the delivery of sustainable
development in relation to transport. The main tool for limiting the impact of the development
proposals will be a Framework School Travel Plan (FSTP), which will accompany the submission
of the Addendum TA.
The scope of the works required for the TA was agreed with the Highway Development Control
team at C&CoSC in February 2015. This included agreement of the extent of the assessment,
including the study junctions which will be assessed for capacity once traffic data is available for
all junctions. The study junctions are identified in Chapter 2 of this report.

Existing Conditions
2.1.
Overview
This section of the TA provides an overview of the existing operational characteristics of the three
existing education sites and a description of the current land use of the proposed development
site. An audit of existing transport infrastructure within the vicinity of Parc-y-Werin is provided,
identifying any constraints and opportunities for enhancement. This audit considers both the
existing local road network and provision for movement by sustainable modes.
2.2.
Existing School Profile
Gorseinon Primary School opened in September 2012 and is made up of the former Junior,
Infant and Nursery schools which previously operated independently. The school teaches in the
medium of English language.

2.2.2.
Staff Numbers and Pupil Roll
As of January 2015, Gorseinon Primary School served 337 pupils aged from 3 to 11 years old. Of
these pupils, approximately 40 attended the nursery on a part-time basis. The school is
organised in to 12 classes with two additional part-time nursery sessions1 (with children attending
either the morning or afternoon session).
As of November 2014, there were 17 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) teachers and 21 teaching
assistants. In addition there were 2 part time administrators and 2 part time caretakers. The
school also employs part-time lunchtime assistants, breakfast supervisors, after school
supervisors, catering and cleaning staff.
2.2.2.1.
Travel Mode Characteristics
It is understood that the school does not currently have a Travel Plan. A Framework School
Travel Plan will be submitted with the forthcoming TA Addendum.

A ‘Hands Up’ travel mode survey was undertaken at the school in June 2015 to capture a
snapshot of how both children and staff travelled on that particular day. The results are
summarised in Table 2.1.

The mode share results for pupils closely match the Welsh national average for travel to primary
schools in urban areas, as recorded in the 2013-14 National Survey for Wales2. Nationally 48%
of primary aged children in urban areas walk to school, with 41% travelling by car. Approximately
three-quarters of staff travel to work by car, with the majority of the rest travelling on foot.
As summarised in Figure 2.1 there is a strong correlation between distance travelled to school
and mode choice. For journeys in both urban and rural areas of less than half a mile, 75% of
children travel on foot. This proportion drops to 51% between half a mile and a mile; 19%
between a mile and two miles and 4% for two to three miles. Travel by car accounts for 20% of
trips under half a mile; 45% between half and one mile; and it is the predominate travel mode for
journeys of over a mile.

Spatial Distribution of Home Postcodes
Figure 2.2 shows distribution of existing pupil postcodes for the primary school. It shows that the
majority of pupils live within the catchment area which covers the central settlement area of
Gorseinon. Several pupils are drawn from the Penyrheol neighbourhood to the north-west and
Gelligynore to the east. Overall, there are more postcode markers to the east of the proposed
development site, than those to the west.
‘As the crow flies’ distance markers are also shown on the postcode map, showing the distance
from the proposed new school site at Parc-y-Werin. It shows that the majority of pupil postcode
markers are within 1 mile, however it is noted that this is indicative, as the actual distance using
local roads might be slightly longer.

Existing Site Use
Parc-y-Werin is accessed from both Brynawell Road and Princess Street by pedestrians. It
comprises two marked sports pitches and two bowling greens with an associated pavilion
building. A children’s playground is also provided on-site.
A parking area is accessed from a junction formed with Brynawel Road. It is understood from the
public consultation event that the site is used for sport, dog walking and also hosts a toddlers
group. On rugby match days, anecdotal evidence from local resident’s comments indicates that
up to 45 vehicles are accommodated on-site. Only part of the site will be occupied by the new
school, with amenities retained on the residual areas of the site for use by the local community.

Highway Layout
Figure 2.3 shows the highway arrangement in the vicinity of the school, including provision for
pedestrians and the location of bus stops.
Brynawel Road provides access to Gorseinon Hospital at its northern end, in proximity to the
junction formed with Princess Street and Grove Street. This is an NHS hospital which has
recently been extended. It has 66 beds, of which two thirds provide assessment and rehabilitation
10
for the elderly. The remaining beds provide intermediate care with a variety of clinics associated
with Outpatient Departments on site. The hospital does not have any Accident and Emergency
provision.
St Catherine’s Church is located the south-east of the site and is served by a parking area
accessed from Princess Street. It is an Anglican church with regular Sunday services and also
hosts wedding and funeral services through the week.

Study Junctions
Four study junctions were identified through the scoping discussions with the Local Highway
Authority in February 2015. At the time of writing, traffic data was available for two of these
junctions (1 & 2), based on surveys undertaken on Thursday 21st May 2015. Existing traffic data
is available from surveys undertaken in 2011 for junctions 3 & 4 which will be used in the junction
capacity assessment in the forthcoming Addendum TA.
The location of all of the study junctions relative to the existing sites is shown in Figure 2.4 and
described in the following text.

1. Princess Street / Brynawel Road / Grove Street
This is a four arm mini roundabout junction formed by Princess Street (north and south),
Grove Street (east) and Brynawel Road (west). Parc-y-Werin is located immediately to the
south of the junction, with Gorseinon Hospital located to the west. The layout of the junction
is shown in Figure 2.5. The junction is lit.

A 10 hour traffic survey was undertaken on Thursday 21st May 2015 between 08:00 and
18:00. This survey date was during school term time. The traffic flows at the start (08:0009:00) and end (15:00-16:00) of the school day are shown in Figure 2.6. The main traffic
flows are between the Brynawel Road and Grove Street arms during both periods.
Figure 2.6 – Existing Traffic Flows
(Thurs 21st May 2015)
08:00-09:00
15:00-16:00
Overall, total traffic demand through the junction was 446 vehicles in the hour before the start
of the school day and 479 in the hour following it. The full survey results are provided in
Appendix A. As the existing school sites are all located to the south-east of this junction, it is
likely that there will be some local reassignment of car journeys through this mini-roundabout
as a result of the development proposals.
A site visit was also undertaken on 27th March 2015, during school term time. No queues or
existing capacity issues were observed during the site visit.
2. Alexandra Road (A4240) / Princess Street / Penybryn Road
This is a four arm crossroads junction formed by the A420 (main arm) which is aligned east to
west, Princess Street which connects from the north and Penybryn Road which connects
from the south. The minor arms both have ‘Stop’ signs and associated solid white line
markings. The junction is lit.
The junction layout is shown in Figure 2.7.
Figure 2.7 Alexandra Road (A4240) / Princess Street / Penybryn Road Junction
(looking westbound along A4240 west arm)
A 10 hour traffic survey was undertaken on Thursday 21st May 2015 between 08:00 and
18:00. This survey date was during school term time. The traffic flows at the start (08:0009:00) and end (15:00-16:00) of the school day are shown in Figure 2.8.
13
The main movements in each period were east-west flows on the mainline (A420). In both
periods, there is a strong demand for movements to and from Princess Street (north) and
Alexandra Road (east).
Figure 2.8 – Existing Traffic Flows
(Thurs 21st May 2015)
08:00-09:00
15:00-16:00
As the existing Infants and Junior school sites are located to the east of this junction, it is
likely that there will be some local reassignment of vehicular trips at this junction to gain
access to the new school site.
3. Alexandra Road / High Street / West Street (B4296) / Pontarddulais Road
This is a four arm signalised junction formed by Pontarddulais Road (north), High Street
(east), West Street (south) and Alexandra Road (west). This junction is in a commercial area,
with retail and leisure buildings adjoining the junction.
The layout of the junction is shown in Figure 2.9.
Figure 2.9 -B420 / B4296 Signalised Junction
(Looking eastbound to High Street)
The approach to the stop line is flared on West Street and Alexandra Road to two lanes, with
a single lane approach on the other two arms. Pedestrian crossings are incorporated into the
traffic signals on all arms, enabling users to cross the carriageway in a single stage. Guard
railing is used to ensure that crossing takes place along the designated alignments.
During a site visit conducted in March 2015, queues were observed on all arms of the
junction, but in particular the eastern, western and southern arms. Each approach has its
own stage, in addition to the pedestrian stage.
14
It is likely that this junction already accommodates a significant proportion of traffic
associated with Gorseninon Primary School as the existing Junior site is located to north and
is accessed from Pontarddulais Road. The existing Infant site is located to the east and is
accessed from the A420. It is therefore anticipated that any traffic impact at this junction will
be associated with the reassignment of existing movements on particular arms rather than
significant additional movements through the junction.
4. High Street (A4240) / Gorseinion Road (A4240) / Heol y Mynydd.
This is a four arm signalised crossroads formed between the A420 (aligned east to west) and
Heol y Mynydd (aligned north to south). Both A4240 arms and the northern Heol y Mynydd
arm are flared to two lanes, with a single lane approach on the southern arm. The layout of
the junction is shown in Figure 2.10.
For pedestrians, there are central refuges provided on the northern, eastern and southern
arms, enabling crossing in two-stages. No pedestrian crossing facilities are available on the
western arm. The layout of the junction is shown in Figure 2.10.
Each approach has its own stage. The pedestrian phases are interlinked with the
corresponding traffic stage.

Local Road Character
Brynawel Road
It is proposed that vehicular access to the site will be established from Brynawel Road. This
section of carriageway is aligned south-west to north-east. It connects Bryn-Amlwg Road to the
south with Princess Street to the north. The carriageway is predominately adjoined by residential
frontages along its length, which generally have driveways connecting to the carriageway. Parcy-Werin forms the eastern boundary to the north, with off-street parking available for users of this
facility. Access is provided to Gorseinon Hospital at its northern end, in proximity to the
roundabout junction formed with Princess Street.
The layout of the carriageway is shown in Figure 2.11.
15
Figure 2.11 - Brynawel Road
Looking north-east past Parc-y-Werin
Looking south-west past Parc-y-Werin
Wide footways are present along the entire length of both sides of the carriageway, with evidence
of some pavement parking outside of residential properties. There are no parking restrictions in
place on this section of highway. The carriageway is lit and is subject to a 30mph speed limit.
Princess Street
Princess St forms the eastern border to Parc-y Werin. It connects Brynteg Road / Pen-Cae-crwn
Road to the north with the A4240 / Penybyrn Road to the south. This road serves residential
properties on its eastern side for its entire length, in addition to the Caersalem Evangelical Free
Church. At its southern end, Princess Street also provides access to a doctor’s surgery and St
Catherine’s Church.
There are double yellow lines on the eastern side of the carriageway in the vicinity of the park
which apply Monday to Saturday from 08:00 to 18:00. The western side of the carriageway in the
vicinity of the park accommodates a number of parallel parking bays as shown in Figure 2.12.
Double yellow lines are present on both sides of the carriageway in proximity to the junction
formed with the A4240.
Figure 2.12 - Princess Street
(looking south past Parc-y-Werin)
Several traffic calming measures are present, comprising carriageway narrowing.
16
Footways are present on both sides of the carriageway and can be rated moderate to good in
terms of condition. Accesses to the residential properties on the eastern side of the carriageway
take the form of individual driveways which cross the eastern pedestrian footway, meaning this
footway undulates at each dwelling.
This street has no significant gradients and limited curvature, so visibility is generally good. There
may be limitations to pedestrians crossing the road when there are parked cars, though the traffic
calming measures improve this situation by breaking up the parking, with the build outs providing
some visibility around parked cars for those wishing to cross the road.
The carriageway is lit and is subject to a 30mph speed limit.
To the north of Parc-y-Werin Princess Street forms part of a 20mph zone, with speed humps and
corresponding signage provided.
Alexandra Road
Alexandra Road (A4240) is a principal through-route in Gorseinon, bisecting the centre of the
town on an east-west alignment. The section of particular interest for this study is between the
Alexandra Road / Bryn-Amlwg Road junction to the Alexandra Road / Penybryn Road / Princess
Street junction.
Both sides of the carriageway are fronted by residential properties. On the southern side of the
road these properties are provided with on-road parking provision which are controlled by
residential permits (see Figure 2.13). These parking restrictions apply from 08:00 to 18:00. The
marked parking bays are broken up at regular intervals along the carriageway by the provision of
bus stops. Towards the Princess Street junction, the bays are marked for either use by residential
permit holders or for short stay parking of up to 1 hour.

e
re are double yellow lines on the northern side of the carriageway. A limited number of properties
adjoin the northern side of the carriageway and these appear to have driveways to accommodate
off-street parking.
This street has no significant gradients in the vicinity of the site and limited curvature, so visibility
is generally good. The carriageway is lit and is subject to a 30mph speed limit. The carriageway
itself is in good overall condition, with clear road markings a good surface condition. The traffic
lanes are narrow in order to accommodate the on-street parking on the southern side but this
helps to enforce the speed limit.
This road is also one of the major bus routes into Gorseinon from the west.
To the east of the Alexandra Road / Penybryn / Princess Street junction, the road accommodates
commercial frontages in the main shopping area with further parking bays on the southern side of
the A4240.
17
Pontarddulais Road
Pontarddulais Road (B4296) forms a signalised four arm junction with Alexandra Road and West
Street. It provides a south-north link out of Gorseinon, linking to Pontarddulais to the north. The
junior site of Gorsenion Primary School is located on the western side of this road and it shares
an access road with car parking for an adjacent Sainsburys store.
The carriageway itself is in good overall condition, with clear road markings and a good surface
condition. Sections of on-street parking are present on alternate sides of the carriageway, with
School Keep Clear markings present on both sides of the carriageway in proximity to the existing
school building. In proximity to the A4240, parking is restricted to permit holders or short stay
durations of up to 1 hour. To the north of the school, parking is restricted to permit holders only
Towards the southern end, double yellow lines are present on both sides of the carriageway in
proximity to the signalised junction. An enforceable 30mph limit in in place on this road, indicated
by advisory signs warning of speed camera presence.
The highway layout is shown in Figure 2.14.
Figure 2.14 - Pontarddulais Road (looking north from existing Junior School site)
2.2.4.4.
Constraints
In a recent public consultation event, parking concerns emerged as the main traffic concern
amongst consultees. They identified that drop-off / pick-up parking demand associated with the
school may add to existing high levels of parking demand associated with adjacent land uses as
follows;
1. Gorseinon Hospital (located immediately to the north of Parc-y Werin – accessed from
Brynawel Road)
2. St Catherine’s Church (when weddings or funerals are taking place – located at the junction
of Princess Street and Alexandra Road,
3. Doctor’s Surgery and Dentist on Princess Street
4. Penyrheol Comprehensive School
18
The consultation comments provide anecdotal evidence that anti-social parking currently occurs
adjacent to the school site comprising double parking or parking on the pavement. They indicate
that this reduces the road to single lane running at times, which impacts on existing bus services.
It was also suggested that the area is often used as a rat run by traffic trying to avoid using the
traffic signals on the A4240.
2.2.5.
Personal Injury Accidents
Personal Injury Accident (PIA) data from within the study area shown in Figure 2.15 was
reviewed for the most recent 5 year period for which data is available (01/01/2010 to
31/12/2014). In terms of spatial distribution, a significant proportion of the recorded accidents
occurred on the A4240 and these tended to occur at or in close proximity to junctions where
conflicted vehicular movements are more common.

There were 39 recorded injury accidents in the study area, resulting in 51 casualties;
2 of these accidents resulted in a fatality; and
3 of these accidents were designated as resulting in a casualty of serious severity
Table 2.2 summarises the incidents which led to fatal or serious injury as well as those which
involved a child of primary school age (up to 11).
Two collisions of note have been highlighted in bold. They both resulted in slight injury and are
involved;

A 16 year old pedestrian who was hit by a car after stepping into the carriageway on Grove
Street in May 2012 due to the pavement being crowded by pedestrians. The data indicates
that he was a secondary school pupil,

An 80 year-old pedestrian who was hit by a light goods vehicle which was travelling from
west to east on Alexandra Road (A4240). The accident records suggest that both the
pedestrian and driver failed to see it other. The collision occurred during the hours of
darkness with street lighting present at the junction formed with Princess Street.

The review does not reveal any common accident causations which would suggest that there are
existing highway safety concerns. The majority of accidents resulted from driver error.
Two incidents involved young children entering the carriageway without looking. Parked cars may
have been an obstacle to visibility for one of these incidents. It is important that adequate
crossing facilities are provided adjacent to pedestrian accesses for the new school which has
sufficient visibility for both motorists and pedestrians.
It is understood that existing safety concerns relate to the access arrangements to the junior
school site, which shares its access with Sainsbury’s car park. The provision of the school on this
new site will resolve this existing safety concern.
2.2.6.
Provision for Active Travel Modes
The following provision for pedestrians and cyclists is available in the vicinity of the proposed
development site.
2.2.6.1.
Pedestrians
Overview
For pedestrians, footways are generally in a good condition on all roads in the study area.
Pedestrian crossing provision is formally provided at the main junctions.
Pedestrian Only Route
Some pedestrian only routes are also provided in proximity to the school as follows;


Between Pontarddulais Road (Poilice Station) and Llanerch Crescent (this is a public
right of way),
Through Parc-y-Werin between Princess Street and Brynwel Road.
Both of these routes are shown in Figure 2.16. There are opportunities to incorporate the latter
into the Masterplan for the new school.

School Crossing Patrols
Two existing school crossing patrols are provided in proximity to the existing junior site. These
are present near to Sainsbury’s on the A4240 and the Police Station on Pontarddulais Road. The
21
location of these is also indicated in Figure 2.16. There are no existing crossing patrols near to
the Infant’s site as a controlled pelican crossing is present on the A4240 along the school
frontage.
Formal Crossing Provision
A pedestrian phase is provided at the Pontarddulais Road / Alexandra Road / West Street
signalised junction, with associated dropped kerbs and tactile pavement on all arms. However,
there is no further formal crossing provision on the A4240 to the west along the high street and
towards the development site.
At the Princess Street / Alexandra Road junction there is a dropped kerb with tactile paving
provided across the Princess Street arm parallel to Alexandra Road but there are no other
pedestrian facilities at this junction.
Cyclists
The only section of dedicated infrastructure for cyclists in the study area is at the Pontarddulais
Road / Alexandra Road / West Street signalised junction, where an advanced stop line has been
provided for cyclists travelling eastbound on Alexandra Road. Other than this, there is no specific
infrastructure available for cyclists, though the majority of surrounding residential streets provide
a suitable cycling environment for confident cyclists.
2.2.7.
Public Transport Provision
2.2.7.1.
Bus Infrastructure
Figure 2.17 shows the location of bus stops and bus routes serving the local area. The nearest
bus stops to the site are located on Brynawel Road immediate to the west of the Bryn-Amlwg /
Alexandra Road junction.
Given that the school will serve pupils aged 3-11 years old, it is unlikely that many children will
travel to school by public transport. However, opportunities exist for use of this mode for staff,
particularly support staff who do not have to transport teaching materials to and from school.

Proposed Development
3.1.
Overview
The development proposals are concerned with Phase 2 of the development of Gorseinon
Primary School following the administrative amalgamation in Phase 1. The development will
deliver a 1.5 form entry school (315 pupils), plus a nursery school on a single site.
The proposals will be future proofed to enable future extension to a 2 form entry school (420
pupils), subject to a future planning application should it be required. The development proposals
will deliver greater operational efficiencies through a reduction in the running cost across the
three existing buildings. It will also reduce some local traffic movements associated with parents
driving to multiple school sites to drop-off / pick-up their children.
3.2.
Operational Characteristics
3.2.1.
Pupil Numbers
Table 3.1 summarises existing pupil numbers and proposed future capacity. The nursery will be
split over two sessions (morning and afternoon).

The school has been future proofed to account for potential future demand for school places
which may arise from new residential development. Three candidate sites for residential
development are identified in the Swansea Local Development Plan as follows;



3.2.2.
GO001 – Land East of Pontarddulais Road ,
GO007 – Parc Melyn Mynach ; and,
GO008 – Land at Parc Melyn Mynach and Heol Eifion).
Teaching Hours
In addition to standard teaching, it is envisaged that the school will continue to run a breakfast
club and a variety of after school activities. There is potential for the teaching hours to be
harmonised to assist those parents who have children of different ages attending the school,
however the retention of a slight stager will assist in spreading the traffic demand over a longer
period.
3.2.3.
Phasing & Staging
It is intended that the school will be open by the start of the January 2017 term for full occupation
by all pupils. All existing school sites will cease operation at this point. Their future use will be
subject to separate planning applications and associated transport assessments as appropriate
3.2.4.
Pupil Distribution
There are no changes currently planned to the catchment area. Therefore, any traffic impact
resulting from these proposals is likely to be related to a localised reassignment of existing trips
on the local highway network.
24
The proposed site is the following distance from the three existing school sites using local roads
(distances on foot may be less);



Existing nursery site to new school:
Existing junior site to new school:
Existing infant site to new school:
0.3 miles to main entrance,
0.6 miles to main entrance,
0.5 miles to main entrance.
Given the spatial distribution of existing pupils identified in Chapter 2, any mode shift associated
with the development proposals is expected to be limited. Whilst Parc-y-Werin is located on the
western side of the catchment boundary, it provides a relatively good fit in relation to existing
postcode markers.
The following methodology will be applied in the TA Addendum to assess the vehicular impact of
the development proposals in the opening year;
1. The mode share for the existing school will be applied to existing pupil roll and staff to
determine the existing magnitude of vehicular trips associated with the school. For those
children travelling by car. It will be assumed that some travel with friends and siblings. A
vehicular occupancy rate of 1.4 children per car will be assumed.
2. Where children travel to school by car, both the arrival trip and onward departure trip will be
considered in both study periods.
3. An assumed assignment of vehicular trips on local roads (through the four study junctions)
will be determined. This will assume that all those pupils living within the immediate vicinity of
the existing school sites arrive on foot,
4. Vehicular trips will be reassigned to the new school site, assuming that they take the most
direct route. This will enable the changes in traffic demand through each of the study
junctions to be quantified.
5. Where changes in traffic demand through study junctions of 10% or greater are forecast,
capacity modelling will be undertaken to ensure that the junction will be able to accommodate
the hanges to traffic flows.
This process will also be applied to staff trips. For a robust assessment, it will be assumed that
staff will arrive on-site between 08:00 and 09:00. However, it will be assumed that all staff leave
the site after 16:00 and therefore no staff vehicular trips will be included in the 15:00-16:00
assessment period.
It has been confirmed by the C&CoSC that there are no committed developments that need to be
included in any capacity impact assessment.
3.3.
Site Layout
No indicative site layout was available at the time of submission of this TA, only the footprint plan
as shown in Figure 3.1. It shows that the site frontage will be on Brynawel Road, with the sports
ground retained to the east adjoining Princess Street.
3.3.1.
Access
It will be beneficial for the site to include pedestrian access points to both the west (Brynawel
Road) and east (Princess Street). No details of vehicular access points and arrangements are
currently available.
3.3.2.
Parking
Parking will be provided on-site for staff and visitors. This might be shared with users of the park
outside of teaching hours. Car and bike parking will be provided in accordance with the guidance
outlined in the CSS All Wales Parking Standards.
Currently 4% of pupils of Gorseinon Primary School cycle and 4% travel by scooter (June 2015
shown in Chapter 2). The Welsh Government’s target is to increase this mode share to 10% (see
Chapter 4). Based on a capacity for 315 children, provision for the storage of 32 bikes and
scooters will be provided. It should be covered and provided in an overlooked location. It will also
25
be supplemented by the provision of adequate storage facilities for helmets and high-visibility
clothing during the school day.
Additional cycle parking will be required for staff and visitors. Staff changing facilities and
showers will be provided to facilitate the use of this mode by staff.
Figure 3.1 – Site Location Plan
3.3.3.
Drop Off Arrangements
It is intended that all parental drop off will be accommodated on-street.
A ‘Park and Stride’ initiative will be included in the Framework School Travel Plan to encourage
parents who drive their children to school to drop them off at a safe and convenient location in the
vicinity, to enable their children to complete the final leg of the journey on foot. This will be one of
a several targeted measures included in the School Travel Plan.
3.3.4.
Deliveries and Servicing
A description of the arrangements for deliveries and servicing will be included in the forthcoming
TA Addendum once an indicative site layout has been produced. This will be supported by
vehicular tracking as appropriate.
3.3.5.
School Transport
There are currently no school buses serving the school and it is not anticipated that the proposed
localised relocation to the new site will result in the requirement for the provision of school
transport.

Policy Context
4.1.
Overview
This section of the report reviews the transportation policy considerations which are relevant to
the proposed scheme at a national, regional and local level. The following documents have been
included in this review:



National Policy;
- Planning Policy Wales (PPW);
- TAN 18: Transport;
- Wales Transport Strategy (WTS); and
- The National Transport Plan (NTP).
Regional Policy;
- Joint Transport Plan (JTP); and
- County and City of Swansea Parking Standards.
Local Policy;
- Unitary Development Plan (UDP).
4.2.
National Policy
4.2.1.
Planning Policy Wales (Edition 7, July 2014)3
Planning Policy Wales (PPW) sets out the land use planning policies of the Welsh Government.
The document outlines how the Welsh Government’s commitment to sustainable development
can be integrated into the planning system. PPW provides the policy framework for the effective
preparation of local planning authorities’ Development Plans. The document is supplemented by
21 topic based Technical Advice Notes (TANs) with TAN 18: Transport of particular note.
Section 8 of the PPW document sets out the Welsh Government objectives in relation to
transport. It states that land use planning can achieve the Welsh Governments objectives for
transport through;



Improving accessibility by walking and cycling;
Promoting walking and cycling; and
Supporting sustainable travel options.
Achieving these objectives is underwritten by a commitment to support a transport hierarchy,
which prioritises walking and cycling to sites above all other options, with public transport next
followed by the private vehicle lastly. To this end, a number of policy aims are provided in relation
to walking and cycling. Paragraph 8.2 advises that walking should be promoted for shorter trips,
such as those to schools. It indicates that planning authorities should promote specific measures
to assist including the provision of safe, convenient and well-signed routes.
In relation to cycling. PPW indicates that;


Cycling should also be encouraged for short trips and as a substitute for shorter car
journeys, or as part of a longer journey when combined with public transport;
Local Authorities should encourage the implementation of specific measures to develop
safe cycling, including new or improved routes.
.
4.2.2.
TAN: 18 Transport4
Technical Advice Notes (TANs) are to be read in conjunction with PPW. TAN 18: Transport
describes how an efficient and sustainable transport system is required for a modern, prosperous
and inclusive society. The Welsh Government has a statutory duty towards sustainable
3

27
development and as such TAN 18 describes how the Welsh Government intends to integrate
land use and transport planning in order to achieve their outcomes with regard to climate change.
Annex D of the policy document refers to the use of Transport Assessments (TA). A TA is
required for new primary schools to clearly set out what the transport impacts will be.
The TA process should lead to the preparation of a Transport Implementation Strategy (TIS) that
sets out the transport objectives and mitigation measures required. One of the key mitigation
measures will be a Framework School Travel Plan. It sets out measures to reduce any adverse
impacts related to the development in terms of congestion, parking, safety and the local
environment.
A TIS and Framework School Travel Plan are being prepared and will be submitted with the
Addendum TA ahead of the determination of this planning application.
4.2.3.
Wales Transport Strategy5
The Wales Transport Strategy (WTS) was published in 2010 and is a statutory part of the
Transport (Wales) Act. It superseded the existing Transport Framework for Wales. The WTS is
the first ever comprehensive transport strategy for Wales. The WTS sets out how it is intended to
achieve social, economic and environmental outcomes of the Welsh Government, including
improving links and access between key settlements and sites across Wales.
Planning Policy Wales and the WTS both aim to secure the provision of transport infrastructure
and services, which improve accessibility, build a stronger economy, improve road safety and
foster more sustainable communities. The school relocation will be analysed within this context,
particularly emphasised in the accessibility plan of the proposed school. This TA represents a
direct connection between transport and land-use planning.
4.2.4.
The National Transport Plan (2015)6
The Wales Transport Strategy sets the policy framework for transport in Wales and the outcomes
that transport interventions should contribute to. The National Transport Plan (NTP) sits within
the framework provided by the Strategy and sets out in more detail how the policies and
objectives in the Strategy will be delivered. The NTP looks to encourage safer, healthier and
more sustainable travel, reflected in the Framework School Transport Plan which will be prepared
for the new school to specifically promote sustainable travel.
4.3.
Regional Policy
4.3.1.
Progress in Partnership – The Regional Transport Plan for South
West Wales 2010-2015
The Swansea Bay City Region Board has a role in developing strategic transport priorities and
prioritising transport schemes across the region, with the Joint Transport Plan for South West
Wales building upon the previous Regional Transport Plan.
4.3.2.
Joint Transport Plan for South West Wales (2015)
The Joint Transport Plan (JTP) for South West Wales replaced the Regional Transport Plan from
the 1st of April 2015. The plan is in place to cover the period 2015-2020, providing the framework
for improving connectivity within and without the region with particular aims to support:


Sustainable travel and safety
Access to services
In terms of the local, specific schemes that have been identified during the JTP a number
specifically reference schools as part of their strategy. For the City and County of Swansea, the
provision of a ‘safe walking route to school’ for children in order to reduce pressure on the
Council-operated free school transport is high on the agenda. A second range of schemes are
5
6
http://gov.wales/docs/det/publications/140909-transport-strategy-en.pdf
http://gov.wales/topics/transport/planning-strategies/ntp/?lang=en
28
suggested to improve the safety of roads, particularly around routes of increased risk like routes
to school.
Fundamentally, the JTP reinforces the targets presented in the Active Travel (Wales) Act, part of
which are to increase the travel to school modal shares of pedestrians and cyclists to 42% (from
37%) and 10% (from 4%) respectively.
4.4.
Local Policy
4.4.1.
Unitary Development Plan
The Local Development Plan for Swansea is currently being formulated, and once adopted it will
replace the previous Unitary Development Plan (UDP). At the time of writing, the UDP remained
as the most up to date Development Plan, setting out a range of policies and proposals relating
to future development. Policy SP9 specifically refers to schools or education systems, stating a
need to provide ‘improved and more accessible community, education and health facilities to
meet the needs of new development schemes and to overcome existing deficiencies will be
favoured.’ The need for developments to be accessible is thus essential.
4.5.
Summary
This section of the TA has provided a comprehensive review of relevant national, regional and
local policy in relation to transport. These policies have emphasised the importance of providing
safe and convenient access to the new school by active and sustainable modes to minimise
adverse traffic impacts and to contribute to the health and well-being of pupils.
29
5.
Summary Findings
5.1.
Overview
This TA has been produced in support of second phase of development proposals associated
with Gorseinon Primary School in Swansea. The first phase involved the administrative
amalgamation of the existing nursery, infants and junior school and has now been fully
implemented. This second phase is concerned with the amalgamation of each of these
components on to a single site to deliver economic efficiencies and provide state of the art
facilities which will improve education attainment.
The new school will be provided on the site of Parc-y-Werin with vehicular access from Brynawel
Road. It is proposed that the new school will open by the January term of 2017 for all pupils.
5.2.
Planning Process & Development Programme
Given the programme for the delivery of the new school, at the time of registering this planning
application, some pieces of data required to complete the TA were unavailable. Therefore, this
document sets out the key transport issues and baseline conditions, with a forthcoming TA
Addendum identifying and quantify the traffic impacts associated with the development
proposals. The TA Addendum will inform the Transport Implementation Strategy and Framework
School Travel Plan which will identify measures to mitigate any adverse impacts and enable the
development to proceed in a sustainable way.
5.3.
Traffic Impact
As of January 2015, 297 children attended Gorseinon Infants and Junior Schools, with an
additional 40 children attending the nursery on a part time basis. The proposed new school will
be 1.5 Form Entry, with capacity for up-to 315 school aged children and 40 nursery places, and
hence will effectively be a like-for-like replacement. Given the proximity of the new and existing
school sites, it is not anticipated that there will be any perceptible mode shift from the existing
situation. The main traffic impact is anticipated to comprise of some localised reassignment of
trips on the local highway network from the existing to the new school site, predominately
associated with parental drop-off/pick-up.
The provision of the all components of the Primary school on a single site will enable parents with
children of various ages who currently drive to multiple site to travel to a single site. Simplifying
the school run may even enable some to adopt alternative, more sustainable travel modes for
this journey.
However, potential also exists for this to concentrate all of the vehicular demand associated with
the school run on to a single site. The development proposals included in the forthcoming TA
Addendum will seek to address this through the provision of multiple access points to distribute
parking demand on the local network. Furthermore, the supporting School Travel Plan initiatives
such as ‘Park and Stride’ will act to further distribute parking demand associated with pick-up
and drop-off.
5.4.
Concluding Remarks
This TA provided an overview of the development proposals associated with the second phase of
amalgamation of the nursery infants and junior components of Gorseinon Primary School. It has
demonstrated that the school currently exhibits a strong walking culture, with the majority of
existing pupils travelling by sustainable modes. The proposed localised relocation of the school is
unlikely to result in a perceptible mode shift, whilst the introduction of a School Travel Plan
provides opportunities to build on the existing use of active travel modes, further promoting their
uptake amongst pupils and staff.
