1.0 Introduction
Qualifications and Experience
1.1 This statement has been prepared by Steven Leslie Parsons. I hold a H.N.C in Civil
Engineering, a Post Graduate Diploma in Transportation Planning and Engineering and
am a Member of the Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation (M.C.I.H.T).
I am an Associate Director of Motion Transport Planning Limited and have over 20
years experience in the field of transportation planning, traffic engineering and
highway safety.
1.2 During my career I have been responsible for assessing the highway and
transportation implications of development proposals on behalf of several highway
authorities, most recently for Surrey County Council where I was employed as aPrincipal Transportation Development Control Officer for 6 years before joining Motion
Transport Planning. I have particular expertise in appraising the impact of
development proposals on the highway network and the acceptability of development
proposals in respect of highway safety and capacity.
1.3 Motion Transport Planning (MTP) specialises in advising developers and professionals
in the development field on all matters concerning transportation, highways and
traffic.
Scope of this Statement
1.4 Motion Transport Planning has been appointed by Ashtead Resident’s Association in
conjunction with ‘Save Ashtead’s Village Environment’ (S.A.V.E), in respect of the
appeal by Tesco Stores Limited against the decision, by Mole Valley District Council, to
refuse planning application MO/2009/1322. The planning application was refused on
the 10th November 2009 and the appeal is to be determined by way of a Public
Inquiry.
1.5 By way of a background to the planning history of the site an earlier planning
application (ref MO/2008/1127) to provide a Tesco’s foodstore with a GFA of 2,177
square metres (1,115 square metres of retail floor space) and 9 residential dwellings,
was refused by the Mole Valley District Council on 1st August 2008 for several reasons
including reasons on highways and transport grounds. The application was also
recommended for refusal by the Highway Authority.

Appeal Statement page 2
1.6 The scheme was subsequently revised and submitted as planning application
MO/2009/1322, and is now the subject of this appeal. The latest scheme remains
largely similar to the previous scheme, but with a reduction in the overall GFA of the
foodstore by 809 square metres, and a reduction in the overall retail floor space by
365 square metres. Planning application MO/2009/1322 was refused by the Planning
Authority for six reasons, three of which related to highways and transport matters
and which have been duplicated below.
Reason 3
‘It has not been demonstrated that alternative off-street parking can be provided for
the existing users of long term parking spaces in the Peace Memorial car park and
sufficient provision for the staff of the development. This would result in cars being
parked on surrounding roads to the detriment of local amenity and leading to
conditions which would be prejudicial to the free flow of traffic and convenience of
other highway users. The proposals would therefore be contrary to PPS4 ‘Planning for
Sustainable Economic Growth’ policy EC18 and Mole Valley Local Plan policies ENV22
‘General Development Control Criteria’ and MOV2 ‘The Movement Implications of
Development’.
Reason 5
‘The proposed development, if permitted, would lead to a significant increase in traffic
at the difficult junction of Woodfield Lane and The Street, a busy and important road,
which is classified as the A24 and forms part of the Primary route network where sight
lines and visibility in the leading traffic direction is severely restricted by the property
adjacent to the junction, and, the close proximity of the proposed pedestrian crossing
to the junction, and with the increased traffic movement would lead to conditions
prejudicial to the safety and free flow of traffic, contrary to Mole Valley Local Plan
policy MOV2 ‘The Movement Implications of Development’.
Reason 6
‘In the absence of a completed legal agreement, under Section 106 of the Town andCounty Planning Act 1990, the proposal fails to provide an infrastructure contribution
in accordance with the Council’s adopted Code of Practice for Planning Obligations and
Infrastructure Provision February 2008 and the other negotiated developer
contributions in this case, and is therefore contrary to policy CS17 of the Mole Valley
Core Strategy’.

1.7 A Transport Assessment was produced by Colin Buchanan and Partners Limited to
accompany planning application MO/2009/1322. The Transport Assessment concluded
that:
► ‘The development proposals can be accommodated on the local transport
network;
► Safety and capacity improvements to the junction of Woodfield Lane/The
Street/Grove Road/Rectory Lane are proposed, and will further reduce the
impacts; and
► An assessment of car parking availability is included in this Transport
Assessment, and the replacement Woodfield Lane car park on the development
site can accommodate the development traffic. A robust assessment of the peak
use of the car parks reveal there is sufficient capacity in the village for all users’.
1.8 This statement assesses the supporting documentation produced on behalf of Tesco
Stores Limited by Colin Buchanan and Partners Limited. This statement sets out the
site’s location in respect to travel and transport and provides a critique of certain
elements of the work undertaken to demonstrate the traffic impact and road safety
implications of the appeal proposal. Specifically this statement assesses the following
points, which have been explored in greater detail within Section 3 of this statement.
► Trip Attraction;
► Trip Distribution;
► PICADY Analysis; and
► Road Safety and Servicing Arrangements.

Appeal Statement page 4
2.0 Useful Background
Existing Site
2.1
The appeal site is located at 53-57 The Street within the village centre of Ashtead.The site is bounded by the Peace Memorial Hall car park to the north, A1 and A3 land
uses to the east and west and The Street (A24) to the south. Ashtead rail station is
located approximately 1.2 kilometres north from the site.
Local Highway Network
2.2 The proposed foodstore fronts directly onto The Street (A24) which is a two-way
carriageway, approximately 8 metres wide, subject to a speed limit of 30mph. On
street parking is permitted on both sides of the carriageway with restrictions operating
Monday to Saturday.
2.3 To the northeast, The Street connects with Epsom Road (A24) providing access
towards Epsom town centre. To the southwest, The Street connects with Woodfield
Lane, approximately 110 metres from the frontage of the site, and continues to form a
link with Leatherhead Road, (A24) providing access towards junction 9 of the M25, as
well as Leatherhead.
2.4 Woodfield Lane serves as the main access point into and out of the Peace Memorial car
park. It is a two-way carriageway approximately 5.3 metres wide, subject to a speed
limit of 30mph. It is subject to parking restrictions in the form of double yellow lines
on both sides of the carriageway for the majority of its length. To the north it provides
access towards Ashtead rail station and Craddocks Parade where a Tesco Express store
is located, whilst to the south it connects with The Street (A24).
Road Safety Study
2.5 Personal Injury Accident (PIA) statistics, a copy of which has been attached as
Appendix A, have been obtained from Surrey County Council for the period of
January 2005 to February 2010. The study area includes the following sections of
road:
► The Street (A24), section between its junctions with Park Lane to the north and
the Shell petrol filling station to the south; and
► Woodfield Lane at its junctions with the Peace Memorial car park and The Street
(A24).
2.6 A total of 15 PIA’s occurred within the study area, of which three were classified as
serious and the other 12 as slight.

53-57 The Street, Ashtead
Appeal Statement page 5
2.7 Specifically, a total of 10 of the identified PIA’s occurred at or within the vicinity of The
Street (A24) / Grove Road / Woodfield Lane / Rectory Lane junction, of which two
were classified as serious and eight as slight.
2.8 Six of the 15 identified PIA’s involved pedestrians of which two were classified as
serious and four were classified as slight. Five of the pedestrian PIA’s occurred at or
within the vicinity of The Street (A24) / Grove Road / Woodfield Lane / Rectory Lane
junction, of which one was classified as serious.
2.9 The PIA record demonstrates a high incidence of PIA’s at or within the vicinity of The
Street (A24) / Grove Road / Woodfield Lane / Rectory Lane junction and a high
incidence of pedestrian PIA’s. The number and severity of pedestrian PIA’s is of
particular concern and reflects the High Street nature of the study area and the
vulnerability of pedestrians when conflict occurs with vehicles.
2.10 It is concluded that it is paramount that the appeal proposal should pay particular
regard to enhancing pedestrian safety and the impact of additional vehicular trips
using the problematic junction at The Street (A24) /Grove Road / Woodfield Lane /
Rectory Lane.

Appeal Statement page 7
3.6 Paragraph 14.6 of the Good Practice Guide discusses the correlation between GFA and
vehicle trips. It states “Figure 14.3 appears to show that food superstores do not
display any relationship between GFA and vehicle trips, therefore giving a big error
margin and limiting the accurate use of the Estimate feature (the estimate feature
provides an estimate of trips for a known GFA). Paragraph 14.6 goes on to state “It is
known that there is in fact a relationship between GFA and level of trips for food
superstores, but that other, external factors have such an influence on trip generation,
that they influence the scatterplot accordingly.”
3.7 Paragraph 14.7 states that.”Figure 14.3 shows that when a relatively small data
sample for food superstores is displayed in a rank order list, it appears that there is no
relationship between GFA (x axis) and vehicle trips (y axis)”.
3.8 For these reasons it is considered imperative that stores with a similar GFA to that now
being proposed at Ashtead are used as a basis for predicting trip rates. However
having explored the TRICS database it is apparent that no similar Tesco’s stores exist
in which case it would be reasonable to expect the appellant to survey existing
established stores that are of a similar floor area and similar in terms of location,
accessibility and parking. Such an approach would provide a realistic estimate of trip
rates compared to the flawed assessment that has been carried over into the 2009
Transport Assessment.
Department for Transport’s ‘Guidance on Transport Assessment’
3.9 The above document provides guidance on quantifying development trip generation.
At paragraph 4.61 it states that “Typically trip generation assessments are based on
the identification of suitable (person or vehicle) trip rates, having regard to industry
standard databases such as TRICS, GENERATE and TRAVL. These trip rates should be
derived on the basis of site-specific details of the proposed development – for
example, proposed gross floor area, number of dwelling units, number of hotel rooms,
availability and accessibility of non-car modes of travel, provision and nature of travel
plans.”
3.10 It is considered that this guidance clarifies that trip rates should be based on similar
developments as a number of factors can influence travel behaviour. In this case it is
considered unreasonable to determine trip rates per 100 sq.m of GFA on trip rates for
larger superstores. As these larger stores have a much greater retail floor area it is
reasonable to assume that customers will be carrying out a larger shop (i.e. a weekly
shop) that will result in a greater length of time spent in the store. A smaller store by
comparison will naturally have a much quicker turn around of customers and as such is
likely to have a higher trip rate per 100 sq.m of GFA.

Appeal Statement page 8
3.11 The DfT’s Guidance on Transport Assessments clarifies at paragraph 4.62 that “If sites
with comparable accessibility as well as scale and location cannot be found when using
a standard database system, 85th percentile trip generation rates should be considered
as a starting point for assessment of the baseline trip generation.”
3.12 It is considered that the TRICS sites used to determine trip rates (SCC2) are not
directly comparable in terms of accessibility, scale and location and as such 85 th
percentile trip rates should be used to robustly assess the impact of the appeal
proposals. By using average trip rates derived from non-comparable sites the
appellant has failed to take into account guidance contained within the TRICS Good
Practice Guide and by using 50th percentile trips rates has failed to take into account
the Department for Transports’ Guidance on Transport Assessments’. As such the
potential traffic impact of the appeal proposal appears to have been underestimated,
which has considerable, material knock on effects when considering matters of
highway capacity, road safety and car parking accumulation.
Further comments
3.13 The 2009 Transport Assessment suggests that given the GFA of the foodstore for the
appeal proposals has reduced in size compared with the previous scheme, trips
generated by the foodstore will also be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
3.14 It is considered likely for a Tesco’s foodstore, with a retail floor space of 750 square
metres, to offer a similar range of product categories to a Tesco’s foodstore which has
an additional 365 square metres of retail floor space. On this basis, the operation of a
smaller store is unlikely to result in a reduction of customer trips on a pro-rata basis as
has been claimed within the 2009 Transport Assessment.
3.15 The TRICS database has been analysed to obtain Saturday trip rates for smaller
foodstores (less than 3000 square metres) that are comparable (in GFA) to the appeal
proposals. Surveys contained within the database and undertaken prior to the year
2002 have been omitted. This search method results in a total of 12 surveys for
foodstores located within the UK. All sites located outside of England and within
London have been omitted together with those sites incorporating foodstores whereby
the nature, location or operation differs materially from the appeal proposals (for
example M&S or CO-OP stores). Three Sainsbury’s sites have been identified and a
copy of the TRICS outputs for these three sites is attached as Appendix B.
3.16 This exercise shows that with smaller stores as the GFA decreases the trip rate
increases. It is concluded that the GFA of smaller foodstores is not directly
proportional to the trip rate per 100 sq.m of GFA. It cannot be assumed that a
reduction in trips can be applied on a pro rata basis when there is a reduction in GFA.

Appeal Statement page 9
3.17 Additionally by exploration of the TRICS database it is apparent that Tesco’s stores
have higher trip rates that those obtained at other similar food stores. Again this
points to the need to either use 85th percentile trip rates (as recommended by the
Department for Transport) or to base trip rates on a number of surveys carried out at
comparable Tesco stores.
3.18 S.A.V.E. has carried out a survey of the Craddocks Parade Tesco’s Store. This survey
suggests a much higher trip rate per 100 sq.m of GFA than that predicted within the
2009 Transport Assessment, which have been derived from much larger stores.
Indeed using the methodology suggested by S.A.V.E., where trips rates are based on
the survey results of the Craddocks parade store and factored up, pro-rata, to
represent the GFA of the appeal proposals results in trip arrivals up to 6.8 times higher
than that estimated within the 2009 Transport Assessment. A copy of the survey
results and analysis carried out by S.A.V.E. has been attached as Appendix C.
3.19 Such are the flaws in the trips analysis that has been carried over in the 2009
Transport Assessment that the traffic impact has been underestimated to a level where
the impact on the Woodfield Lane / The Street (A24) junction is likely to be in excess
of that predicted within the 2008 Transport Assessment, which was recommended for
refusal by the Highway Authority.
3.20 It is concluded that the applicant has failed to quantify the traffic impact of the appeal
proposals; has failed to demonstrate that the appeal proposals would not lead to a
significant increase in traffic at the junction of Woodfield Lane and The Street, where
sight lines in the leading traffic direction are severely restricted, and; has failed to
demonstrate that the increased traffic movement as a result of the appeal proposals
would not lead to conditions prejudicial to the safety and free flow of traffic on the
neighbouring highway.
Trip Distribution
3.21 The 2009 Transport Assessment presents at Table 5.2 a breakdown of the proportion
of vehicles (as a percentage) using each access and egress. From this table it is
possible to determine the percentage split of vehicles departing and accessing the
proposed store car park.
3.22 Vehicles can only depart from the car park via the Woodfield Lane access whilst
vehicles can gain access from the site via either Woodfield Lane or directly from the
established access from The Street.
8/9/2019 RO2-Appeal Statement 2010-06-21

53-57 The Street, Ashtead
Appeal Statement page 10
3.23 In respect to vehicles departing the site Table 5.2 of the 2009 Transport Assessment
confirms that it is predicted that up to 56% of vehicle trips departing from the site will
turn right into Woodfield Lane to travel towards the north (i.e. towards the railway
station and residential area of Ashtead). During the pm peak only 44% of vehicles are
predicted to turn left into Woodfield Lane to travel to the south via the The Street
(A24) / Woodfield Lane junction. It appears that the distribution of traffic departing
the site is as set out within the 2008 transport Assessment, which at paragraph 11.2
confirms that the distribution is based on observed traffic turning movements although
no detail of how or when this survey was carried out has been provided within the
Transport Assessment.
3.24 Whilst it is noted that the distribution is based on observed turning movements it is
considered likely that the majority of vehicular trips departing the site will require
access to the A24 and will therefore pass through the Woodfield Lane / The Street
junction. The Street (A24) provides a principal strategic highway link between
Leatherhead and Junction 9 of the M25 (to the south) and Epsom and Ewell (to the
north). Vehicular trips to and from the appeal site are unlikely to follow the
established pattern of observed turning movements as a Tesco’s store will be likely to
attract an element of ‘pass by’ or divert trips that will be attracted to the site and will
require access back onto the A24. Additionally the presence of an established Tesco
Express store to the north at Craddocks Parade, will reduce the number of vehicle trips
to and from this part of Ashtead.
3.25 Ashtead residents have carried out a traffic survey of turning movements at the car
park egress onto Woodfield Lane. Counts were taken between 09:00 and 20:00 hours
on Friday the 14th May 2010 and Saturday 15th May 2010. The turning movements for
all vehicles departing the car park were observed as follows:
Vehicles departing car park
and turning left (Woodfield
Lane southbound)
Vehicles departing car park and
turning right (Woodfield Lane
northbound)
Friday 14th May2010
54.5% 45.5%
Saturday 15th May2010
57% 43%
3.26 The assumption that have been made within the 2008 Transport Assessment and
carried over into the 2009 Transport Assessment in respect to the distribution of traffic
departing the car park is considered flawed and results in an underestimation of the
impact at the Woodfield Lane / The Street (A24) junction.

53-57 The Street, Ashtead
Appeal Statement page 11
3.27 It is considered that a much greater percentage of vehicles would turn left on
departing the car park and would therefore travel through the Woodfield Lane / The
Street (A24) junction. These additional movements have not been assessed as part of
the junction modelling carried out to assess whether the Woodfield Lane / The Street
(A24) junction can accommodate the additional trips associated with the appeal
proposal.
3.28 As a result of the flawed traffic distribution it is considered that the appellant has failed
to demonstrate that the The Street (A24) / Woodfield Lane junction can satisfactorily
accommodate the traffic impact of the appeal proposals.
PICADY Analysis
3.29 The 2009 Transport Assessment states that a junction capacity assessment has been
undertaken at the Woodfield Lane / The Street (A24) / Grove Road / Rectory Lane
junction using the industry standard software PICADY.
3.30 PICADY is a computer program for predicting capacities, queue lengths and delays at
non-signalised major/minor priority junctions. However, the software has its
limitations. It is unable to model five-arm junctions, and as such Rectory Lane has not
been included within the junction model. In addition, controlled pedestrian crossings
are located approximately 50 metres to the northeast and southwest of the junction on
The Street (A24). The effect of the operation of these crossings on the Woodfield Lane
/ The Street (A24) / Grove Road / Rectory Lane junction has not been considered.
3.31 It is acknowledged that no queue length data has been provided within the 2009
Transport Assessment and it is therefore not possible to validate the PICADY models
for the existing situation. There is no evidence that the applicant has verified the
PICADY results for the base situation to reflect observed conditions on site.
3.32 A site visit has been undertaken by MTP to measure the geometry of the junction.
Tables 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 provide a comparison of the geometric measurements
used within the assessments undertaken by Colin Buchanan with those measurements
obtained directly on site by MTP.

3.33 There are many discrepancies between the geometric measurements used within the
PICADY assessment and those measured on site by MTP. It is noted that in the
majority of cases where discrepancies occur that the measurements included within
the PICADY assessment overestimate lane widths and available visibility. As such the
capacity assessment is flawed and is likely to overestimate the capacity of the
junction. It is considered that the geometry of the existing junction needs to be
revisited and remodelled using software that can model the characteristics of the
junction.
3.34 Paragraph 6.2.13 of the Transport Assessment states that the junction improvement
proposal results in an increase in capacity, which is a result of increased lane widths.
Section 6.3 of the report concludes that “the proposed modification to The
Street/Woodfield Lane junction will ensure that this junction can cater for future traffic
conditions. Most importantly, however, the junction improvement proposed offers
benefits to drivers and an enhanced pedestrian crossing facility for Woodfield Lane”.

3.36 Similarly, there are discrepancies between the geometric measurements used within
the assessments undertaken by Colin Buchanan for ‘with junction improvement’
scenarios and those measured by MTP from drawing number 17186-OS-001.

3.37 In particular, MTP have undertaken a review of the effective carriageway width at
Woodfield Lane on approach to its junction with The Street, with and without the
proposed junction improvements. Table 3.9 sets out the total effective width (inside
and outside lanes) at 5 metre intervals over a distance of 20 metres.

3.38 Table 3.9 suggests that at 5 metres back from the give-way line a marginal increase in
the width of the carriageway at Woodfield Lane on approach to its junction with TheStreet is proposed. However, beyond this point the proposed effective width is less
than the existing situation.
3.39 Whilst the proposals may provide a pedestrian crossing facility the implementation of a
pedestrian island and raised table reduces the overall effective width of the
carriageway, as shown in Table 3.9.
3.40 Furthermore, the introduction of formal pedestrian activity at the junction would
interfere with the free flow of traffic and overall operation of the junction.
3.41 In summary it is considered that the use of PICADY to assess the operation of the
Woodfield Lane / The Street (A24) junction is inappropriate and the PICADY
assessment that has been carried out is flawed. Additionally it appears that incorrect
geometries have been used within the PICADY assessment and the results of the base
scenario have not been verified with on-site conditions. As such it is concluded that
the PICADY analysis cannot be relied on and the applicant has failed to demonstrate
that the Woodfield Lane / The Street (A24) junction can satisfactorily accommodate
the additional traffic associated with the appeal proposal.

Servicing and Road Safety
Servicing
3.42 The Transport Assessment states that it is proposed for the servicing area to be
located at the rear of the proposed store. Service vehicles will enter from the existing
car park access on The Street (A24) and exit along the private access that runs along
the eastern boundary of the site and then back out onto The Street (A24). Swept path
analysis for an articulated vehicle (16.5 metres) is included within the 2009 Transport
Assessment (at Appendix A). However, this drawing shows the vehicle travelling on
the car park access road and then onto the private access that runs along the eastern
boundary of the site. Swept path analysis to demonstrate the manoeuvrability of the
vehicle departing at the junction of the private access and The Street (A24) has not
been included within the 2009 Transport Assessment.
3.43 The 2008 Transport Assessment included swept analysis for a 16.5 metre articulated
vehicle departing the site at the private access. Drawing number 12.3 revision A, a
copy of which is provided at Appendix D of this statement, demonstrates that there is
insufficient area to satisfactory accommodate an articulated vehicle leaving the site at
The Street (A24) in a southbound direction.
3.44 Drawing 12.3 shows that a departing articulated vehicle would encroach on the public
footway whilst travelling extremely close to the adjacent building and vehicles parked
on the southern side of the carriageway on The Street (A24). The trailer of the vehicle
appears to be dragged over circa 7.0 metres of the adjacent footway where
pedestrians are likely to be waiting for the service vehicle to depart. This is a very
serious safety flaw particularly with regard to the High Street location and the
incidence of pedestrian PIA’s that have been identified within Section 2 of this
statement. Clearly the consequences and severity of PIA’s between HGV’s and
pedestrians is of grave concern and appears to have been overlooked.
3.45 No assessment has been included of a 16.5 metre articulated vehicle turning left out of
the private site access onto The Street (A24). MTP has carried out swept path analysisof this turning movement and drawing number 100524-TK01, attached as Appendix
E, demonstrates the swept path of an articulated vehicle carrying out this manoeuvre.

53-57 The Street, Ashtead
Appeal Statement page 16
3.46 It can be seen from drawing 100524-TK01 that a 16.5 metre articulated vehicle
departing the site cannot do so without using the whole width of the carriageway (i.e.
involving southbound vehicles to wait when necessary) as well as areas of the
carriageway that are designated for on-street parking. The swept path analysis that
has been carried out results in a vehicle having to manoeuvre extremely close to the
adjacent building that runs alongside the north east boundary of the narrow private
access. It is understood that this private access will also provide pedestrian access to
the flats above the proposed Tesco store as well as flats that are proposed above the
neighbouring property. This results in additional conflict between HGV’s and
pedestrians within the confines of this narrow access where physical obstructions exist
either side of the access. Again this has serious safety consequences in respect to the
safe use of this access by pedestrians.
3.47 On the basis of the above, and having regard to the PIA record, it is considered that
the appeal proposal has not been provided with adequate servicing arrangements and
the consequences of allowing the appeal proposal, in its current form, would be to
prejudice road safety on the neighbouring highway.
Junction improvements at the Woodfield Lane / The Street (A24) junction
3.48 It is claimed that the Woodfield Lane / The Street (A24) junction would be subject to
improvements that offer safety benefits to drivers and an enhanced pedestrian
crossing facility for Woodfield Lane. These improvements have been commented on
below.
3.49 It is recognised that one of the main shortfalls of the existing junction is the restricted
visibility splay that is available in the leading direction. It is alleged (as annotated on
Drawing 17186-OS-001 produced by Colin Buchanan and Partners Limited) that
visibility in this direction will be improved to achieve a sight line of 2.4 metres by 30
metres. It is unclear how this improvement will be achieved as any alterations to kerb
lines appear to be limited. Furthermore from drawing 17186-OS-011, and from on site
observations, it appears that a 30 metre sight line cannot be achieved and that the
‘improved’ sight line in this direction would only be circa 2.4 metres by 28 metres.
This compares to an established sight line of circa 22 metres.
3.50 It is considered that a sight line of 28 metres (or indeed 30 metres) represents a
significant shortfall, in terms of visibility, when judged against guidance contained
within Manual for Streets or the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges.
3.51 In reviewing the proposed junction improvements it is also noted that the pedestrian /
vehicle intervisibility splay (to the east side of Woodfield Lane) of 19 metres appears
to pass through the corner of the existing building. It is observed that sight lines for
pedestrian crossing Woodfield Lane are restricted by this building and results inadditional safety concerns for pedestrians crossing at the proposed crossing point.

3.52 It is concluded that the appeal proposals will result in a material increase in traffic
departing via Woodfield Lane to gain access to The Street (A24). It is contended that
the increase in traffic is likely to be materially higher than that demonstrated within
the 2009 Transport Assessment. I conclude that the appeal proposals will result in a
material increase in traffic via a substandard junction, which will prejudice road safety
and the free flow of traffic on the neighbouring highway.

4.0 Summary
4.1 MTP has been appointed by Ashtead Resident’s Association in conjunction with Save
Ashtead’s Village Environment (S.A.V.E), in respect of the appeal by Tesco Stores
Limited against the decision, by Mole Valley District Council, to refuse planning
application MO/2009/1322. The planning application was refused on the 10th
November 2009 and the appeal is to be determined by way of a Public Inquiry.
4.2 This statement assesses the supporting documentation produced on behalf of Tesco
Stores Limited by Colin Buchanan and Partners Limited. This statement provides an
assessment of Trip Attraction; Trip Distribution; PICADY Analysis; and Road Safety and
Servicing Arrangements.
4.3 Having carried out this assessment it is concluded that:
► The Personal Injury Accident (PIA) record demonstrates a high incidence of PIA’s
at or within the vicinity of The Street (A24) / Grove Road / Woodfield Lane /
Rectory Lane junction and the high incidence of pedestrian PIA’s;
► The number and severity of pedestrian PIA’s is of particular concern and the
appeal proposal should pay particular regard to enhancing pedestrian safety and
the impact of additional vehicular trips using the problematic junction at The
Street (A24) /Grove Road / Woodfield Lane / Rectory Lane;
► By using average trip rates derived from non-comparable sites the appellant has
failed to take into account guidance contained within the TRICS Good Practice
Guide 2010;
► By using 50th percentile trips rates the Applicant has failed to take into account
the Department for Transports’ ‘Guidance on Transport Assessments’;
► The GFA of smaller foodstores is not directly proportional to the number of
vehicle trips. As such a reduction in GFA from that proposed as part of the 2008
planning application is unlikely to result in a reduction of customer trips on a
pro-rata basis as has been claimed within the 2009 Transport Assessment;
► The traffic impact of the appeal proposals have been underestimated, which has
a material knock on effects when considering matters of highway capacity, road
safety and- car parking accumulation;
► As a result of the flawed trip analysis and flawed traffic distribution the appellant
has failed to demonstrate that The Street (A24) / Woodfield Lane junction can
satisfactorily accommodate the traffic impact of the appeal proposals;

► The use of PICADY to assess the operation of the Woodfield Lane / The Street
(A24) junction is inappropriate and the PICADY assessment that has been
carried out is flawed;
► Incorrect geometries have been used within the PICADY assessment and the
results of the base scenario appear not to have been verified with on-site
conditions. As such it is concluded that the PICADY analysis cannot be relied on
and the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the Woodfield Lane / The Street
(A24) junction can satisfactorily accommodate the additional traffic associated
with the appeal proposal;
► the appeal proposal has not been provided with adequate servicing
arrangements and the consequences of allowing the appeal proposal, in its
current form, would be to prejudice road safety on the neighbouring highway;
and
► The appeal proposals will result in a material increase in traffic via a substandard
junction, which will prejudice road safety and the free flow of traffic on the
neighbouring highway.
4.4 It is concluded that the applicant has failed to quantify the traffic impact of the appeal
proposals; has failed to demonstrate that the appeal proposals would not lead to a
significant increase in traffic at the substandard junction of Woodfield Lane and The
Street, where sight lines in the leading traffic direction are severely restricted; and,
has failed to demonstrate that the increased traffic movement as a result of the appeal
proposals would not lead to conditions prejudicial to the safety and free flow of traffic
on the neighbouring highway. As such I respectfully request that the appeal be
dismissed.

As a comparison to the predicted trip rates to the proposed Tesco store in The Street, visit counts
were undertaken to the Tesco store in Craddocks Parade. Two counts were undertaken, one
covering 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, 12 February 2010, which included the weekday peak hour of 5
p.m. to 6 p.m. on a Friday, and the other count was for daytime on Friday 23 April 2010. The figures
are as follows.

The above figures are counts of individuals or groups of people visiting together, and so represent
the number of shopping visits by groups of one or more people. Due to the nature of the parking
arrangements at Craddocks Parade, it is not possible to count the number of car trips being made to
the store.
Tesco state at [reference needed] that 84% of shopping trips will be by car. Therefore, multiplying
the above figures by 84% will give the predicted car trips.

The stated Gross Floor areas are 2177m2
for application MO/2008/1172 and 1368m2
for
MO/2009/1322.
The above figures show that the equivalent car trip rates at Craddocks Parade are approximately thesame as for the MO/2009/1322 during most of the day, but during the peak hours between 15:00
and 19:00, are approximately 35% higher at the Craddocks Parade store compared to the proposed
store.
Using Tesco’s approach of a fixed trip rate per 100m2
of gross floor area, based on the trip rates
observed at Craddocks Parade, the car trips predicted for the MO/2009/1322 store would be as
follows.
