Development Application part 6 of 10 Traffic Impact Assessment - MCU13/0092

5.0 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS



5.1     Conclusions


        The proposed development has been evaluated in terms of its impact on the surrounding road network,

        site access operations and internal layout. The main points to note are:


        _       it is proposed to redevelop the site to provide               a   shopping centre development comprising a
                supermarket and associated specialty shops with a total of 1,850m2 GFA
        _       vehicular access to the development is proposed via a single point of access from Rufous Street

                the proposed development incorporates 100 car parking spaces and five motorcycle spaces (105

                spaces in total) which are expected to adequately cater for the anticipated parking demand

        _       the proposal includes a loading bay providing commercial vehicle                 servicing facilities, and the

                ability to accommodate on-site refuse collection
                adequate provision         is made for the        standing, parking, loading and unloading, access and
                manoeuvring of service vehicles within the development site
        _        during evening peak hour operations, the proposed development is expected to generate in the
                 order of 205 vehicle trip-ends with 242 predicted during the Saturday peak hour

        _       the proposed       development is not expected to have an adverse impact on future year traffic
                operations of the local road network
                 the proposed development is well serviced by public transport, and is within 200m of bus stops

        _       the proposal is not expected to have any adverse impact on local pedestrian and cyclist operations




5.2     Recommendations


        Based on our analysis it is recommended that:

                 Rufous Street is upgraded and widened to provide a 6.5m carriageway from the intersection with

                 Woodland Drive to the site access intersection.
