SLIDE 3

MITIGATION

  • Bypass or haul road
  • Re-rou+ng of traffic
  • Speed limits
  • Traffic calming measures

  • No need for bypass
  • Suitable mi+ga+on measures will have to be agreed
  • With Oxfordshire CC as planning/highway authority
  • Consulta+on with Parish Council
  • No significant safety concerns/accident clusters iden+fied
  • Impact on noise, vibra+on and air quality assessed
  • No significant effects as a result of APs
  • Just traffic related

  • HS2 LGVs and cars
  • 204 both ways per day
  • 3% increase in LGVs and cars
  • To 6,605 per day from projected 2021 baseline of 6,401

INCREASES

  • Increase of 942 HGVs per day
  • From original plan
  • Decrease of 124 cars/LGVs
  • Refinement in no of workforce trips
  • Net increase of 818 HS2 vehicles per day
slide-8
SLIDE 8

REASONS FOR INCREASE

  • Increase due to “accelera+on of earthworks programme”
  • Transport of soil from Lower Thorpe Mandeville and Turweston
  • To Lower Boddington
  • Where deficit of material
  • For noise bunds and landscape integra+on
  • From Turweston via A43, M40 (J10 to 11) and A361
  • From Lower Thorpe via A422 and A361

TIMELINES

  • Construc+on of Chipping Warden bypass
  • Will cause some increase in traffic
  • 12 month period
  • When construc+on traffic serving compound rela+vely low
  • Year 1 of construc+on programme
  • Construc+on traffic for period of 6 years
  • Moderate for 2 years (about 100 HGVs)
  • Bad for 1 year (about 1000 HS2 vehicles)
  • Really bad for about 18 months (up to 2,444 HS2 vehicles)
  • Moderate for 3 ½ years

TRAFFIC REPORT

  • Capacity of A361 through Wardington
  • 750-900 vehicles per hour
  • One way
  • Road width less than 6.75m
  • Decrease by 225 as 20% + of vehicles will be HGVs
  • To 525 to 675 vehicles per hour
  • AM peak hour southbound
  • PM peak hour northbound
  • 698 vehicles
slide-12
SLIDE 12

REPORT’S CONCLUSIONS

  • Capacity exceeded
  • Peak hours
  • Peak period
  • One way
  • 698 vehicles
  • More than capacity
  • 525-625 vehicles
  • 2015 traffic flow
  • Counter on A361
  • Traffic exceeds HS2’s 2021 baseline
  • By 609 northbound over 12 hour period
slide-13
SLIDE 13

HS2 POSITION

  • HS2 adopt the same figures for assessing capacity
  • Conclusion that A361 through Wardington
  • “could be under pressure”
  • “during peak +mes of construc+on”
  • HS2:
  • Figures worst case scenario
  • Peak construc+on period
  • Under review
  • Looking at moving soil along the line
  • Internal haul roads

OXFORDSHIRE CC

  • HS2 say that need approval of OCC
  • Traffic construc+on plan
  • Code of Construc+on Prac+ce
  • To reduce poten+al transport impacts
  • Local environmental management plan
  • Environmental minimum requirements
  • Oxfordshire CC:
  • A361 acceptable route in principle
  • HS2 not clearly iden+fied and agreed appropriate mi+ga+on measures
  • Or demonstrated that deliverable by project
  • Primary focus on safety, then conges+on
  • Tolerance for conges+on rela+vely high
