2.0 SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA
2.1 Site description 2.1.1 The site is located within the central location of the City Centre and is currently
occupied by a disused car showroom building on East Bay Close in Cardiff. The site
location is shown in Appendix 1.0.
2.1.2 The site is bound to the north by the main London to Swansea railway line, to the
east by an industrial building and to the south by an electricity substation and Tyndall
Street/East Tyndall Steer roundabout.
2.1.3 To the west, the site is bound by the elevated Central Link Road (A4234). The site is
accessed from East Bay Close via Tyndall Street/East Tyndall Street roundabout for
vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. The site and surrounding area is shown in
Appendix 2.0.
2.1.4 The site is conveniently located within 10 minutes walking distance from University of
South Wales Campuses (ATRiuM and Atlantic House) and Cardiff City Centre and
within 20 minutes’ walk from the campuses of Cardiff University (north of the City
Centre).
2.2 Local highway network 2.2.1 East Bay Close forms a northern approach to Tyndall Street/East Tyndall Street
roundabout and provides a cul-de-sac type access to the application site, industrial
units, a builder’s merchant warehouse and an electricity substation.
2.2.2 East Bay Close is subject to a 30mph speed limit and is 9m wide in the vicinity of the
site. There are double yellow line restrictions on both sides of East Bay Close for the
first 50m from the roundabout. Beyond this, the double yellow line restrictions are in
place only on the northern side of East Bay Close. There is no loading permitted on
this road at any time.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 4
2.2.3 Tyndall Street/East Tyndall Street roundabout is a grade separated roundabout
junction. Tyndall Street forms the western arm, East Bay Close forms the northern
arm, and East Tyndall Street forms the eastern arm and A4234 Central Link Road
(on and off slips) form the southern arm of the roundabout.
2.2.4 Tyndall Street is a two-way local distributor road which runs in east – west direction
linking Herbert Street and Bute Street in the west to Tyndall Street/East Tyndall
Street roundabout. Bute Street connects Cardiff City Centre to the north with Cardiff
Bay to the south.
2.2.5 The A4234 Central Link Road runs from north – south connecting the A4160 Adam
Street in the north to the Cardiff Bay area in the south.
2.2.6 East Tyndall Street connects the Tyndall Street/East Tyndall Street roundabout to
East Tyndall Street/Ocean Way roundabout (also known as Magic Roundabout) to
the east. This roundabout provides access to Splott to the east, Cardiff City Centre to
the north and Cardiff Docks to the south.
2.3 Permitted use of the site
2.3.1 The site currently comprises a disused building which was previously used as a car
showroom and workshops. The total gross internal area of this building is 2,034 sqm.
2.3.2 In order to estimate the vehicle trips that could have been generated by the permitted
car showroom use, TRICS has been used. TRICS database contains only two edge
of town centre sites and hence suburban sites with good public transport linkages
have also been chosen to provide a robust assessment.
2.3.3 TRICS suggests that a car showroom site could generate 15.13 vehicle trips (two-
way) per 100sqm GFA. The TRICS output is provided in Appendix 3.0. Therefore, the
car showroom of 2,034sqm GFA if reoccupied could generate:
• 15.13 x 20.34 = 308 vehicle trips (two-way)
or 154 vehicle arrivals
154 vehicle departures
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 5
2.3.4 The vehicular trips generated by the permitted car showroom (2,034sqm) during
typical network weekday peak hours are summarised in Table 2A.
Table 2A Permitted car showroom vehicle trips
Trip rates (per 100sqm) Vehicle trips (2,034sqm) In Out In Out Two-way
08:00-09:00 (AM peak hour) 1.076 0.395 22 8 30
17:00-18:00 (PM peak hour) 0.404 0.870 8 18 26
Daily 7.565 7.565 154 154 308
2.3.5 Table 2A demonstrates that the permitted car showroom with a GFA of 2,034sqm
could generate 26 to 30 two-way vehicle trips during typical weekday (network) peak
hours. These vehicular trips are classed as ‘permitted vehicular trips’ within this
report.
2.4 Accident analysis
2.4.1 ADL obtained collision records from Cardiff City Council (CCC) for the period 1st
January 2010 to 31st December 2014. The records are given in Appendices 4.1 and
4.2 for location and details respectively.
2.4.2 The accident records demonstrate that in close proximity of the site, no collisions
occurred on East Bay Close and only one collision occurred on the East Bay Close
approach to the roundabout. The collision details are as follows:
• Reference Number: 0198208 (slight accident):
This accident occurred at the East Bay Close approach to the Tyndall
Street/East Tydnall Street roundabout when a cyclist entered the road from
the footway and collided with the vehicle entering the roundabout.
2.4.3 The accident analysis demonstrates that there are no highway safety issues that
need to be addressed as part of this application.

3.0 ACCESSIBILITY
3.1 Pedestrians and cyclists 3.1.1 Tyndall Street and East Tyndall Street have continuous footways on either side
measuring two to three metres wide. The junction of Tyndall Street with Ellen Street
(240m west of the site) is provided with demand controlled pedestrian crossings on
east approach with dropped kerbs with tactile paving across each crossing. There
are dropped kerbs and tactile paving across Ellen Street and Schooner Way
approaches to this junction
3.1.2 Similar pedestrian crossing facilities are also provided at the Herbert Street/Lloyd
George Avenue signal controlled junction which is located 560m to the west of the
site.
3.1.3 The footways on Tyndall Street (fronting recently developed Capital Quarter) have
two pedestrian crossings with tactile paving and central islands where pedestrians
can wait to cross the other side. One of these pedestrian crossings is demand-
controlled.
3.1.4 There is a pedestrian footbridge known as Smart Bridge across the railway line,
connecting to Pellet Street, Adam Street. This bridge is located to the north of Tyndall
Street accessed and is accessed via Capital Quarter (350m west of the site). This
new bridge is provided with ramps to enable access for the disabled and cyclists.
3.1.5 There are no footways on East Bay Close fronting the site and hence there is an
opportunity to enhance pedestrian facilities on East Bay Close as part of this
planning application.
3.1.6 Cardiff has a good on and off road cycle route network. These are shown in
Appendix 5.1. The cycleway along the northern side of Tyndall Street is part
segregated and not continuous along the full length.
3.1.7 The footway link that bounds the northern periphery of Tyndall Street/East Tyndall
Street roundabout is provided with segregated cycleway/footway facility with the
cycleway marked with red road surfacing.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 7
3.1.8 The segregated cycleway/footway continues along the northern side of East Tyndall
Street. The signal junction on Tyndall Street with Ellen Street and Schooner Way is
provided with advanced cycle stop lines on all approaches.
3.1.9 Schooner Way is designated as an advisory cycle route while there is a traffic free
route parallel to the A4234 Central Link Road and the Lloyd George Avenue. Off-
road cycleways are also provided around Callaghan Square to the west of the site
towards Cardiff Central Railway Station.
Pedestrian and Cycle Route Audit report
3.1.10 A detailed Pedestrian and Cycle Route Audit report was submitted to the Council in
November 2016 as part of the previous planning application. A copy of this report is
provided in Appendix 5.2. The Audit Report assessed the route to/from daily trip
attractors such as shops/supermarkets, leisure/entertainment, employment and of
course the university campus (es) and other student facilities.
3.1.11 Various measures to improve the accessibility to the site have been sited within the
Audit Report. With these measures (improvements) in place, it is considered that the
site would have a better accessibility to the wider area network by non-car modes of
transport.
3.2 Public transport Bus
3.2.1 The nearest bus stops to the site are located on Tyndall Street and Schooner Way
within 200m and 320m walking distance from the site respectively. These bus stops
are provided with bus flags and timetable information boards. A map illustrating these
locations is provided as Appendix 4.2.
3.2.2 The bus stops on Tyndall Street are served by bus routes 1, 2 and 612, while the bus
stops on Schooner Way are served by bus routes 89A and 89B. These are
summarised in Table 3A.

3.2.3 These bus services provide links to the Cardiff Central and Queen Street Railway
Stations, City Centre, Cardiff University Campuses (to the east of North Road) and in
Cathays area and University of South Wales Campus on Adam Street.
Rail
3.2.4 The site is situated within easy walking distance from two railway stations. Cardiff
Central Station is approximately 1.4km west of site and Cardiff Queen Street Station
is approximately 1.4km northwest of site. Also, Cardiff Bay Station is approximately
1.7km southeast of site.
3.2.5 The bus services 1 & 2 on the City Centre via Cardiff Bay route stop at Penarth Road
bus stop which is located adjacent to the Cardiff Central Railway Station. A plan
illustrating the rail services is found in Appendix 4.4.
3.2.6 The site is therefore adequately served by public transport.

4.0 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
4.1 Description of proposal 4.1.1 The proposal is for the redevelopment of the site into a purpose built student
accommodation (803 bedspaces) within two towers, together with landscaping,
ancillary, communal facilities and parking.
4.1.2 The development will be a convenient location to live for the students studying at:
• Cardiff University – campuses located to the north of city centre located within
20 minutes walking distance from the site;
• University of South Wales:
ο ATRiuM located on Adam Street within 10 minutes walking distance
from the site (approx. 700m)
ο Atlantic House located on Tyndall Street located within 5 minutes
walking distance from the site (approx. 300m)
4.1.3 The Masterplan is shown in Appendix 6.1.
4.2 Access arrangements
4.2.1 A new vehicular site access will be provided on East Bay Close approximately 20m
west of the existing site access as shown in Appendix 6.2. The visibility splays that
could be achieved at this site access are 2.4m x 43m in both directions. This
conforms to Manual for Streets 2 visibility standards for streets with a speed limit of
30mph. This is broadly considered to be acceptable in principle by the Council.
4.2.2 The proposed site access will also be provided up to 5m wide footway/cycleway
internally which will link in with the existing footway/cycleway on Tyndall Street/East
Tyndall Street roundabout.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 10
4.3 Parking provision Car parking
4.3.1 There will be a total of 32 car parking spaces on site (including five disabled bay).
These spaces will be provided only for disabled students, staff, and visitors and for
servicing purposes. Otherwise the development will be car free with students not
permitted to bring a car into the city as part of their tenancy agreement. This will be
enforced by a Student Management Plan.
4.3.2 At the beginning and end of the academic year, these spaces will be used by
students’ parents or relatives whilst moving in or out of the accommodation. Further
details about the student ‘moving day’ arrangements are provided in Section 7.2.
4.3.3 Additionally, there will be a drop off zone along the site access which could
accommodate up to two cars. These will be used for everyday taxi pick-up/drop off
purposes.
Cycle parking
4.3.4 The development will provide 268 cycle parking spaces. The cycle stores will be
located in secure and covered locations near the buildings. The levels of parking and
impact are detailed in Section 6.0.
4.4 Servicing 4.4.1 The site layout will be designed so that a large refuse truck (10.98m long) can enter
and exit the site in forward gear. An AutoTRACK assessment demonstrating this is
provided in Appendix 7.0.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 11
5.0 TRAFFIC IMPACT
5.1 Traffic Generation 5.1.1 TRICS has been used to calculate the traffic generation for the proposed student
accommodation. Sites in edge of city centres have been selected in order to reflect
the site’s location with good accessibility and the TRICS assessment is in line with
other similar student accommodation planning applications in Cardiff (17/01300/MJR,
15/02820/MJR, 15/02236/MJR, 15/03097/MJR). There were four sites in total as
summarised below in Table 5A:
Table 5A Student accommodation sites with vehicle data Location № Bedrooms № Parking Spaces Parking spaces per
bedroom DV-03-G-04 Edge of town centre 241 10 0.047 IS-03-G-01 Edge of town centre 146 0 n/a LB-03-G-01 Town centre 548 0 n/a WY-03-9-02 Edge of town centre 15 5 0.333
5.1.2 The multi-modal data for student accommodation is set out below based upon the
three edge-of-town centre sites (DV-03-9-03, IS-03-G-01 and WY-03-9-02). A TRICS
report for person trip rates is provided in Appendix 8.1. These three sites produce a
combined averaged trip rate of 2.03 two-way person trips per student bed per day,
or:
• 803 students x 2.03 ≈ 1,630 two-way person trips
815 person arrivals 815 person departures
5.1.3 The mode split is detailed in Table 5B, based upon TRICS. The mode split is shown
as Appendix 8.2. The two-way person trips by mode are shown in Table 5B below.
Table 5B Mode split: student accommodation Mode % split Person trips
In Out Two-way Pedestrians 64.7% 527 527 1,054
Bus 15.4% 126 126 252 Rail 12.5% 102 102 204
Cycles 3% 25 25 50 Cars (incl. passengers) 4.4% 35 35 70
Total 100% 815 815 1630
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 12
5.1.4 Table 5B suggests that the majority of trips generated by the student accommodation
will be pedestrian trips (1054 two-way trips). Trips by car constitute a relatively small
proportion of cars generated i.e. 70 two-way trips. This figure includes passengers.
5.1.5 TRICS provides a daily vehicle trip rate of 0.043 two-way vehicle trips per bedroom
per day, or:
• 803 students x 0.043 trips ≈ 36 two-way vehicle trips
18 vehicle arrivals 18 vehicle departures
5.1.6 The TRICS output for vehicles is provided as Appendix 7.3. The average car
occupancy will be 70 trips by car (refer to Table 5B)/36 vehicles = 2 persons per
vehicle.
5.1.7 The student accommodation will be ‘car free’, therefore, it is assumed that the 36
two-way vehicle trips would be made by delivery trips, taxies, drop off trips by
friends/relatives etc. Over a typical 16-hour day, this equates to an average of 2
vehicles per hour. This is de minimis in terms of its impact on the local road network.
5.2 Change in vehicular traffic 5.2.1 The vehicular traffic generated by the permitted development (from Table 2A) is
compared with the traffic generated by the proposed development (from Table 5C).
This comparison is provided in Table 5C.
Table 5C Permitted traffic versus proposed traffic (two-way) Permitted (Table 2A) Proposed (Table 5C) Difference
Daily 308 36 -272
5.2.2 Table 5C shows that the proposed development could generate up 272 less vehicle
trips (two-way) on a daily basis when compared with the permitted use. Therefore,
the proposed development will not have any material traffic impact on the local road
network. Hence, there is no requirement to undertake junction capacity assessment.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 13
6.0 MITIGATION 6.1 Highway improvements 6.1.1 It is proposed to extend the existing footway on Tyndall Street into the site via the
proposed site access. The internal footway will be up to 5m wide and will provide a
continuous pedestrian/cycle route into the site. Appropriate signage and surfacing will
be provided. This will form part of Section 278 works.
6.2 S106 transport contribution
6.1.2 A S106 contribution of up to £150,000 will be offered to the Council for the off-site
improvements to the junction of Tyndall Street/Ellen Street/Schooner Way signal
junction and/or other pedestrian and cycle improvements to the route between the
site and Smart Way/Smart Bridge.
6.3 Other measures
6.3.1 Despite the student accommodation having the potential to generate some vehicle
trips, there are a number of other mitigation measures which are either de facto, i.e. a
direct result of the location of the proposals, or active, those which require ongoing
participation and management to maintain them.
6.4 Location
6.4.1 Cardiff Central railway station and Queen Street railway station are less than 15
minutes easy walking distance from the site. There are bus stops on Tyndall Street
and Schooner Way within 350m walking distance from the site and are served by
routes that provide access to the railway stations, city centre, Cardiff University
Campuses (to the east of North Road) and in Cathays and University of South Wales
Campuses on Tydnall Street (Atlantic House) and Adam Street (ATRiuM).
6.4.2 As a result, the location of the development mitigates against needing a car for many
day to day journeys by virtue of its proximity to many facilities that students will use.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 14
6.5 Car-free tenancy agreements (active)
6.5.1 Within the tenancy agreements (that all students at the accommodation will sign),
there will be a clause forbidding them from bringing a car into the city. Ultimately,
students can be ejected from the halls if they are found to be in breach of this rule.
Only the students with mobility issues would be allowed to bring their cars and park
on site.
6.6 Travel Plan
6.6.1 The Client is prepared to accept a Condition which would require a Travel Plan to be
submitted upon occupation of the development which will set out the measures that
the management company will adopt to reduce trips by non-private car borne modes.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 15
7.0 OPERATIONAL AND PARKING PROVISION
7.1 Car parking
7.1.1 The proposed student accommodation will be provided with 32 car parking spaces
for visitors and operational use. As noted previously, students will be prohibited from
bringing cars into Cardiff as a condition of their tenancy. Therefore, there will be no
impact on local parking conditions resulting from the student accommodation.
7.1.2 The CSS Wales Parking Standard of 2008 and Cardiff’s Supplementary Planning
Guidance suggests a maximum of 1 car parking space per 25 beds for operational
reasons. Therefore, the proposal for up to 803 beds would require a maximum of 32
car parking spaces. The provision of a total of 32 car parking spaces is therefore
considered to conform to the car parking standards.
7.1.3 Additionally, there will be a drop off zone along the site access which could
accommodate up to two cars. These will be used for everyday taxi pick-up/drop off
purposes.
7.2 Cycle parking
7.2.1 The student accommodation (803 students) will be provided with 268 cycle spaces
which equates to 1 space per 3 beds in secure and covered cycle stores close to the
buildings.
7.3 Start and end of term arrangements 7.3.1 In order to facilitate the moving in (and out) of the students at the start and end of
term, the site managers will employ a schedule so that each student is assigned a
time slot for up to 30 minutes to load or unload their belongings so that vehicle
movements to the site are staggered to avoid congestion.
7.3.2 The site management will have arrangements in place so that other deliveries and
refuse collections are scheduled to avoid beginning and end of term. The students
will be provided with maps to show the locations of public car parks where they can
park, until their time slot is available.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 16
7.3.3 The nearest public car parks are on Pellet Street (500 spaces) and Pellet Street NCP
(292 spaces). These car parks are approximately 550m and 600m respectively from
the site. There are also a number of neighbouring car parks to the north of Bute
Terrace less than a kilometre away from the site.
7.3.4 The procedure used to manage arrivals and departures is as follows:
(i) Prior to moving day
• Students are notified of their allotted time slot and are provided with
the map of how to reach the site.
(ii) Moving day
• Vehicles arrive on site at the allocated timeslot.
• Belongings are then unloaded and placed in a central holding area of
the accommodation, for example, the lobby or common room.
• Vehicles are then parked at nearby car parks.
• Belongings are moved from holding area to student bedrooms.
7.3.5 By moving belongings to a central area as opposed to directly to the student
bedrooms, time is saved due to the shorter distance needed to be covered. At the
end of term, the process is reversed.
7.3.6 If a student misses their time slot, then they will have to wait until the end of the day
before they are allowed back to the site or make alternative enquiries for a different
time slot.
7.3.7 There will be 32 car parking spaces on the site. By assigning 32 students the same
30-minute arrival time, this would mean 803 students would take around 13 hours to
fill, or vacate. This could be undertaken over two weekends and in the evenings from
5pm to 8pm. This is a worst case as students could move into the development over
a staggered period (i.e. earlier or later than the main intake weekend) and not all will
arrive by car.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 17
7.3.8 Whilst this process will involve vehicle movements in excess of the traffic generation
set out in Chapter 5.0, it should be remembered that this is an irregular occurrence,
only occurring at the start and end of the academic year and assumes that every
single student will generate one vehicle. This is not reflective of the day to day
activity at the site and the traffic would be spread evenly over the moving period, as
opposed to students all converging on the development at the earliest opportunity.
7.3.9 Additionally, unlike other traditional halls of residence, residents at the proposal will
not need to remove all their belongings at Christmas and Easter, therefore reducing
the traffic associated with the development as students may head home by train or
coach (for example), as opposed to car.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 18
8.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
8.1 ADL Traffic and Highways Engineering Ltd have been appointed by JEDS
Investments to provide a Transport Statement to support a proposal to redevelop a
former car showroom site on East Bay Close in Cardiff into a student accommodation
comprising up to 803 bed spaces and associated parking and landscaping.
8.2 The site is currently occupied by a disused car showroom building with a total GFA of
2,034sqm. This car showroom could have generated 308 permitted vehicle trips (two-
way) on a daily basis.
8.3 A new vehicular access is proposed on East Bay Close, 20m west of the existing site
access. The existing footway on the Tyndall Street/East Tyndall Street will be
extended up to the proposed site access. This will provide a continuous pedestrian
access to the site.
8.4 There will be a total of 32 car parking spaces on site (including five disabled bay).
These spaces will be provided only for disabled students, staff, and visitors and for
servicing purposes. Otherwise the development will be car free with students not
permitted to bring a car into the city as part of their tenancy agreement.
8.5 Additionally, there will be a drop off zone along the site access which could
accommodate up to two cars. These will be used for everyday taxi pick-up/drop off
purposes.
8.6 Cycle parking will be provided with a ratio of 1 space per three beds. The cycle
parking will be secured and in covered stores.
8.7 The proposed student accommodation with 803 bed spaces could generate up to 36
vehicle trips (two-way) on a daily basis which equates to 272 less vehicle movements
when compared to the permitted use. The proposed development will therefore not
have any material vehicular traffic impact on the local road network.
Traffic & Highways Engineering Ltd 19
8.8 It is proposed to extend the existing footway on Tyndall Street into the site via the
proposed site access. The internal footway will be up to 5m wide and will provide a
continuous pedestrian/cycle route into the site. Appropriate signage and surfacing will
be provided. This will form part of Section 278 works.
8.9 A S106 contribution of up to £150,000 will be offered to the Council for the off-site
improvements to the junction of Tyndall Street/Ellen Street/Schooner Way signal
junction and/or other pedestrian and cycle improvements to this route between the
site and Smart Way/Smart Bridge.
8.10 As such, with the proposed site access arrangements and Section 106 contributions
towards various improvements to the pedestrian and cycle infrastructure in the
vicinity of the site, the proposed development is considered to be in a sustainable
location. Hence, there are no justifiable highways and transportation grounds to
refuse this planning application.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of Report 1.1.1 ADL Traffic Engineering Ltd have been appointed by JEDS Investments to provide a
Pedestrian and Cycle Audit Report to support a proposal to redevelop a former car
showroom located on East Bay Close in Cardiff to provide student accommodation
comprising up to 800 bed spaces.
1.1.2 This Audit Report calculates the number of pedestrian and cycle trips generated by
the development and provides an audit of routes to/from daily trip attractions such as
shops, leisure/entertainment, employment, the university campuses and other
student facilities.

2.0 PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE TRIP GENERATION
2.1 In order to estimate the daily pedestrian and cycle trips associated with the
development, TRICS database has been used. The approved TRICS within the
Transport Statement that were was to establish a person trip has also been used for
this report.
2.2 The TRICS outputs for pedestrians and cyclists are provided in Appendices 1.1 and
1.2 respectively.
Pedestrian Trips
2.3 TRICS suggests that student accommodation could generate 1.384 two-way
pedestrian trips per student bed per day. Therefore, development comprising 800
bed spaces could generate:
800 students x 1.384 = 1,107 two-way pedestrian trips
554 pedestrian arrivals
554 pedestrian departures
2.4 The maximum two-way pedestrian traffic is estimated to occur between the hours of
18:00 and 19:00 hours according to TRICS. This is summarised in Table 2A.
Table 2A Maximum pedestrian traffic per hour Hour Trip rate/bed space Pedestrians
In Out In Out Two-way 18:00-19:00 0.097 0.065 78 78 156
2.5 Table 2A shows that the development could generate a maximum of 156 pedestrian
trips (two-way) in a peak hour.
Cycle Trips
2.6 TRICS suggests that a student accommodation could generate 0.050 two-way cycle
trips per student bed per day. Therefore, development comprising 800 bed spaces
could generate:
Traffic Engineering Ltd 3
800 students x 0.050 = 40 two-way cycle trips
20 cycle arrivals
20 cycle departures
2.7 The maximum two-way cycle traffic is estimated to occur between the hours of 18:00
and 19:00 hours according to TRICS. This is summarised in Table 2B.

4.0 ROUTE AUDIT
4.1 Date and Time of Audit
4.1.1 The pedestrian/cycle route audit of Routes 1 to 4 was undertaken on 12 November
2016 between the hours of 10:30 and 15:30 hours.
4.2 Audit of Route 1 Route to Cardiff City Centre, Cardiff Queen Street Railway Station, USW and Cardiff
University Campuses
4.2.1 The plan illustrating Route 1 and the photographs of pedestrian and cycle facilities
along this route are provided in Appendix 2.0.
4.2.2 The route is well lit and consists of footways with appropriate widths (minimum 2m
wide) and they are in good condition.
4.2.3 The signal junctions along this route are provided with pedestrian signal phases. The
crossing facilities along the whole route (including signal junctions and side road
junctions) are provided with dropped kerbs with tactile paving.
4.2.4 This route includes partial off-street cycleway on Tyndall Street. The segregated
footway/cycleway facility (which runs along the northern periphery of Tyndall
Street/East Tyndall Street and northern side of East Tyndall Street) ends
approximately 34m west of the roundabout. There is no signage at this point to
advise the footway users that the segregated footway/cycleway facility has ended;
however, the red coloured tarmac (designating the cycle route) ends.
4.2.5 An “End of Cycle Route” sign is provided on the footway outside the Atlantic House
Campus (west of Tyndall Street/Ellen Street signal junction), immediately followed by
the rectangular plate which recommends cyclists ride on the carriage, adjacent to a
dropped kerb to facilitate this.
Traffic Engineering Ltd 7
4.2.6 Tyndall Street/Ellen Street signal junction is provided with pedestrian signal phases
across its north, west and south arms. It is also provided with advanced stoplines
(ASL) at all the approaches. The ASL facility gives cyclists a visible and practical
advantage at the junction. Therefore, the discontinuous off-street cycle route on
Tyndall Street is mitigated by the provision of ADL.
4.2.7 This junction lacks demand controlled pedestrian crossing facility on the north and
south arms.
4.2.8 The following signal junctions within the city centre are provided with ASL at all their
approaches:
Bute Terrace/Mary Ann Street;
Adam Street/Churchill Way;
Mary Ann Street/David Street;
Bridge Street/David Street; and
Bridge Street/Churchill Way.
4.2.9 These signal junctions within the city centre are were observed to be busier than
Tyndall Street/Ellen Street signal junction. Hence, these junctions are provided with
lead-in cycle lane at some or all their approaches for the cyclists to gain access to
the reservoir ahead of the motorist’s stopline.
4.2.10 Tyndall Street is designated as an advisory route within Cardiff Cycling and Walking
Map.
Route Choice (Alternatives)
4.2.11 There are two primary routes alternatives to this route:
Via Bute Street
Via Windsor Road
4.2.12 The route via Bute Street is covered within Route 2. The route via Windsor Road is
covered within Route 5.
Traffic Engineering Ltd 8
Proposed Improvements
4.2.13 It is proposed to provide up to 5m wide footway/cycleway facility along the northern
side of Tyndall Street, which connects the existing footway/cycleway to the site.
Appropriate surface material and signage will be provided to advise the students of
this provision. The proposed site access arrangements are shown in Appendix 7.0.
These proposals will be undertaken as part of S278 works.
4.2.14 It is proposed to improve the existing informal crossing facility across the splitter
island on the western arm of Tyndall Street/East Tydnall Street roundabout. The
improvement consists of provision of End of Route cycle sign, give-way markings and
a short cycle lane along the southern side of Tyndall Street which would indicate the
cyclist to use the westbound carriageway (instead of the footway on the south side).
The plan illustrating this improvement is provided in Appendix 8.0. A contribution of
£1,000 to cover the costs of this improvement will be offered to the Council in the
form of Section 106 contribution.
4.2.15 It is also proposed to provide a demand controlled pedestrian crossing facility across
the northern arm of Tyndall Street/Ellen Street signal junction. A contribution of up to
£10,000 to cover the costs of this improvement will be offered to the Council in the
form of Section 106 contribution.
4.2.16 As such, with the aforementioned S278 works and S106 contributions, this route will
be considered to have adequate pedestrian and cycle infrastructure.
4.3 Audit of Route 2
Route from Cardiff Central Station to the site
4.3.1 This route consists of A4160, Callaghan Square, Bute Street and Tyndall Street. The
plan illustrating Route 2 and the associated photographs are provided in Appendix
3.0.

Traffic Engineering Ltd 9
4.3.3 The signalled junction of Herbert Street/Lloyd George Avenue are provided with ASL
with lead-in cycle lanes at Lloyd George Avenue and Herbert Street (E) approaches.
4.3.4 Cyclists will use the carriageway across the Bute Terrace/Callaghan Square signal
junction and Herbert Street/Lloyd George Avenue junction as the junction
arrangements do not permit a continuous off-street cycle route. However, this is
considered to be a usual route for cyclists from Grangetown to Splott.
4.3.5 As such, this route has adequate pedestrian and cycle infrastructure.
4.4 Audit of Route 3 Route from Cardiff Bay (via traffic-free routes along Central Link)
4.4.1 The route consists of the southern stretch of Lloyd George Avenue, Hemingway
Road, shared footway/cycleway along Galleon Way and traffic-free track along
Central Link. The plan illustrating Route 3 and the associated photographs are
provided in Appendix 4.0. The route is lit and the footways are generally in good
condition.
4.4.2 The pedestrian crossings across the whole route including the side road junctions are
provided with dropped kerbs and tactile paving.
4.4.3 The following signalled junctions along the route are provided with pedestrian signal
phases with dropped kerbs with tactile paving.
Lloyd George Avenue/Bute Place;
Lloyd George Avenue/Hemingway Road.
4.4.4 Lloyd George Avenue/Hemingway Junction is provided with ASL on Hemingway
Road approach. The priority junctions of Hemingway Road/Schooner Way and
Hemingway Road/Galleon Way roundabout are provided with informal pedestrian
crossing facilities in the form of dropped kerbs and tactile paving.
4.4.5 Hemingway Road has speed cushions for traffic calming purposes and zebra
crossing to assist pedestrians crossing.

This track continues parallel to Central Link northwards and connects to Tyndall
Street/East Tyndall Street roundabout.
4.4.7 As such, this route has adequate pedestrian and cycle infrastructure.
4.5 Audit of Route 4 Route to Cardiff Bay (via Schooner Way)
4.5.1 The Route consists of Tyndall Street, Schooner Way, Hemingway Road and
southern section of Lloyd George Avenue. The plan illustrating Route 4 and the
associated photographs are provided in Appendix 5.0. Schooner Way is a well-lit
street with footways in good condition.
4.5.2 The Tyndall Street (E) approach to the Tyndall Street/Ellen Street signal junction is
provided with pedestrian signal phase with dropped kerbs, tactile paving and the
pedestrian refuge. The eastern approach to this junction has an ASL.
4.5.3 Schooner Way has footways on both sides of the road along the majority of its
length.
4.5.4 At two sections of Schooner Way, there are footways on at least one-side of the
street thus providing a continuous pedestrian route. Schooner Way is designated as
recommended route by the cyclists.
4.5.5 Hemingway Road/Schooner Way junction is provided with dropped kerbs and tactile
paving across Hemingway Road approach to assist crossing. There is a marked on-

5.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
5.1 The proposed student accommodation comprising up to 800 bed spaces could
generate:
1,107 and 156 two-way pedestrian trips during development peak hour and on a
daily basis respectively;
40 and 10 two-way cycle trips during development peak hour and on a daily basis
respectively.
5.2 Therefore, the main attention within the audit has been given to the pedestrian
accessibility. However, cycle accessibility has also been considered.
5.3 Five routes have been audited. These routes provide access to
leisure/entertainment, shops, employment, university campuses and student
facilities.
5.4 The audit revealed that there is no footway on East Bay Close and also that the
shared segregated footway/cycleway facility on Tyndall Street (west of Tyndall
Street/East Tyndall Street roundabouts) ends without any advisory/warning sign.
5.5 As part of this planning application, it is therefore proposed to provide up to 5m wide
footway on the north side of East Bay Close which will connect the proposed
development with the existing footway/cycleway network. This footway will provide
a continuous cycle route into the site. Appropriate signage and road surface will be
determined at the detailed design stage. This will form part of S278 works.
5.6 A Section 106 contribution of £1,000 will be offered to the Council towards an off-site
improvement of the informal crossing across the western splitter island of Tyndall
Street/East Tyndall Street roundabout. The improvement includes appropriate
signage and road markings on the footway and a short cycle lane marking for on the
eastbound carriageway of Tyndall Street. This would provide a better pedestrian as
well as cycle crossing facility.

5.7 A further Section 106 contribution of up to £10,000 will be offered to the Council
towards provision of a demand controlled crossing on the north arm of Tyndall
Street/Ellen Street signal junction.
5.9 As such, with the proposed site access arrangements and Section 106 contributions
towards various improvements to the pedestrian and cycle infrastructure in the
vicinity of the site, the proposed development is considered to be in a sustainable
location.
