1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the Strategy

There is a current planning consent in place for the regeneration of Brent Cross Cricklewood (BXC); this permission is subject to a framework of control that will ensure that the BXC development is carried out in a manner which is consistent with the transport impacts forecast within the consented BXC transport assessment (BXC05).

The Section 106 document sets out the requirement to provide a series of Reserved Matters Transport Reports (RMTR’s) and a Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy for Sub-phase 1A North (P1AN). The strategy is required to set out the details of the pedestrian and cycle links and facilities within P1AN in accordance with the consented scheme.

Schedule 17 of the Section 106 states that one of the objectives of the Phase Transport Reports (PTR’s) and RMTR’s is to ensure that a comprehensive pedestrian and cycle network is provided within the BXC site, within and between each development phase and connecting to adjacent areas as the development progresses. The relevant extracts from the Section 106 are held in Appendix A. In line with Condition 2.8 the new and improved pedestrian and cycle links and cycle parking spaces within this strategy will be implemented as part of P1AN.

It should be noted that the temporary bus station is the subject of a separate study. Details of the temporary pedestrian facilities relating to the temporary bus station will be provided within this study.

In addition to this P1AN Pedestrian and Cycling Strategy, an Area Wide Walking and Cycling Study (AWWCS) has been undertaken which examines the pedestrian and cycling links between the wider BXC site and the surrounding communities. The area wide study reviews the pedestrian and cycle connections between the development site and key destinations (such as Cricklewood Town Centre and surrounding transport connections) and local residential areas (including Dollis Hill and Hendon). The AWWCS study is intended to deliver a programme of potential schemes for improvements to pedestrian and cycle facilities adjacent to or beyond the site boundary, improving access both to and from the BXC site.

1.2 Scope

A scoping exercise was carried out with Transport for London (TfL) and London Borough of Barnet (LBB) to establish the requirements of the P1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy and the specific outputs required following its completion.

A scoping report was submitted and approved by TfL and LBB in August 2014. The scoping document is held in Appendix A.

The scope sets out the proposed methodology for carrying out the P1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy in line with the outline scope set out in Schedule 17 of the Section106.

1.3 Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy: Sub-Phase 1AN Purpose and Objectives

The primary objective of the P1AN pedestrian and cycle strategy is to set out the quantum and details of pedestrian and cycle links and facilities to be provided within P1AN of the development in accordance with the:

• Area Wide Walking and Cycling Study (AWWCS)

• Phase Transport Report: Phase 1

• Section 73 Consented Transport Assessment and Parameter Plans

3 POLICY REVIEW

Within the scoping document for the P1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy a number of policy documents have been identified which directly address the provision, design, availability and quality of pedestrian and cycling infrastructure for new developments and existing urban areas. The identified documents are as follows:

The Mayors Transport Strategy (May 2010)

The Mayor’s Vision for Cycling in London (March 2013)

TfL’s Walking Good Practice (April 2012)

Legible London

Pedestrian Environment Reviews System Fact Sheet

Pedestrian Comfort Level Guidance (2010)

Delivering the Benefits of Cycling in Outer London (February 2010)

London Cycling Design Standards (2005).

All of the above planning documents (as well as the ‘London Cycle Design Standards – Draft for Consultation, June 2014’) have been reviewed in Section 2 of the Area Wide Walking and Cycling (AWWC) Study (document reference: 47065005-TP-RPT-036 Rev 02). This review has therefore not been repeated within this report.

In addition to the above, the following documents have been referred to within this strategy:

• LTN 2/95 ‘The Design of Pedestrian Crossings’

• TfL Accessible Bus Stop Design Guidance (2006)



47065005-TP-RPT-041 Rev 03

4 IDENTIFICATION OF KEY DESTINATIONS AND DESIRE LINES

4.1 Key Destinations and Associated Desire Lines to Wider Area from BXC Site Boundary

As part of the scoping process for the Area Wide Walking and Cycling (AWWC) Study, a total of 14 key origins/destinations within the wider area were identified as directly relevant to the BXC development location. These were:

• Cricklewood town centre and First Capital Connect (FCC) station

• Brent Cross LU Station

• Hendon Central LU station

• West Hendon/Hendon FCC station

• Willesden Green town centre and LU station

• Golders Green town centre and LU station

• Dollis Hill town centre and LU station

• Childs Hill town centre

• Hendon town centre

• Colindale town centre and LU station

• Kilburn town centre and Kilburn High Road London Overground (LO) station

• Neasden town centre and LU station

• Temple Fortune town centre

• West Hampstead

A total of 16 walking and 17 cycling routes (33 routes in total) were identified to the above key origins/ destinations from the development red line boundary, all of the 33 routes identified within the AWWC study were agreed with LBB and TfL. The plan held in Appendix D shows the key destinations within the wider area and the walking and cycling routes identified within the AWWC study.

4.2 Key Destinations and Associated Desire Lines within Sub-Phase 1AN

The above key destinations will continue to be directly relevant to the BXC development within P1AN. The plan held in Appendix C (drawing number BXCR-URS-ZZ-11-SK-CE-00001 Rev P05 dated 14/11/14) shows the proposed P1AN pedestrian and cycle routes and illustrates where they join the redline boundary in order to join with the wider pedestrian and cycle networks in addition to the London Cycle Network (LCN) and the Capital Ring Walk. There are a total of 13 access points into the redline boundary.

For the purposes of demonstrating that the P1AN pedestrian and cycle facilities join with the wider network, the points at which the P1AN pedestrian and cycle networks join the redline boundary have been numbered (from 1 to 13) as shown on the plan held within Appendix D (drawing number 47066786/P1ANP&C/001 Rev B). The table below shows the wider destinations that can be accessed from each pedestrian/cycle access point into P1AN.

* One of the three cycle routes identified between the BXC site and Dollis Hill joins with the development redline boundary at Oxgate Gardens and is intended to link with the Midland Mainline Railway (MMR) bridge. The MMR bridge is not included within P1AN and as such this route will not be complete within P1AN. However, the P1AN pedestrian and cycle network connects with the alternative routes towards Dollis Hill and therefore access along the A5 towards Oxgate Gardens will be achievable from access point 6 on the plan held in Appendix D.



47065005-TP-RPT-041 Rev 03

With the exception of the above, Table 4.1 and the associated plan demonstrate that following the implementation of P1AN the routes to the key destinations will continue to be accessible to pedestrian and cyclists. All of the routes identified within the AWWC Study will be continued into the development redline boundary following the completion of P1AN. In addition, a connection towards Cycle Super Highway 11 (CS11) will be provided via connection number 3 shown in the plan held in Appendix D. Connections to the Capital Ring Walk will be provided via connection numbers 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13.

Throughout the development of the strategy, it has been ensured that the pedestrian and cycle desire lines internal to P1AN have been catered for. This is further reviewed in Section 5.



47065005-TP-RPT-041 Rev 03

5 SUB-PHASE 1AN PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE STRATEGY

The proposed P1AN pedestrian and cycle strategy is shown on the plan held in Appendix C (drawing number BXCR/URS/ZZ/11/SK/CE/00001 Rev P05 dated 14/11/14).

The proposed cycle facilities within sub-phase 1AN are shown on the plan held in Appendix E (drawing number BXCR-URS-ZZ/11/SK/CE/00002 P06 dated 14/11/14).

The plans provided in the above appendices have been developed following an ongoing iterative design review process (for more detail, see Section 6) during which modifications were suggested to provide enhanced pedestrian or cycle connections within the phase. Suggested improvements and amendments to the evolving design included the addition of pedestrian crossings, widening of footways, and the provision of cycle facilities such as advanced stop lines (ASLs) and feeder lanes. It is considered that all suggested improvements have been incorporated into the design where feasible.

This section outlines the key elements of the strategy initially (including proposals at key areas and key infrastructure locations). The pedestrian networks and cycle networks are then broken down into links, junctions, crossings, and public spaces in Sections 5.2 and 5.3.

5.1 Key pedestrian and cycle strategy elements and proposed provision at key infrastructure

This section outlines the key elements of the strategy including proposals at key areas and key infrastructure locations.

Gateway Junctions

The proposed pedestrian/cycle provision at the gateway junctions within P1AN is outlined below:

A41/A406 Junction

Overview - pedestrians and cyclists will remain segregated from traffic at this junction. The existing pedestrian footbridge will remain a key link over the A406 at this location. Cyclists will be required to dismount on the bridge (as they currently do) however this will not be a barrier to cyclist movement. Works will include the general refurbishment of the underpasses and bridge (lighting/painting etc. where relevant)

Access from the south – To the northeast of the junction the existing A406 westbound off slip to the east of this junction will be closed and an off-road shared footway/cycleway will be provided from Brentfield Gardens. This will create a much safer and continuous pedestrian and cycle link towards the A41/A406 junction from Brentfield Gardens/Brent Cross London Underground station. To the southeast a shared footway/cycleway will be provided on the approach to the junction alongside Tilling Road.

Access from the north – From the Shirehall Lane roundabout shared footway/cycleway facilities will be provided alongside the A41 southbound on slip and alongside Cooper Road linking with the A41 underpass. Cyclists will be required to dismount on the ramp from the A41 southbound on slip and on the approach to the bridge.

Staples Corner/ M1/ A406 Junction

Facilities will be provided to enable pedestrians and cyclists to be separated from traffic at this junction. A shared pedestrian/cycle bridge will be provided to form a key north/south link across the A406 (Bridge B6). Off-road shared footway/cycleways will be provided on the approaches to the pedestrian/cycle bridge (between the A5 and the pedestrian/cycle bridge to



47065005-TP-RPT-041 Rev 03

the north of the A406, and between the A5 and Brent Terrace North to the south of the A406). The existing footbridges will be removed as desire lines for these bridges will be no longer required.

A replacement pedestrian bridge to extend the existing bridge will be provided to the west of the pedestrian/cycle bridge (west of the rail arches) and the new ramp on the northern side of the bridge will be wider than the existing provision to benefit mobility impaired users.

Works will include the general refurbishment of the remaining existing Staples Corner footbridges (lighting/painting etc.)

Claremont Road/A407 Junction

Provision of cycle advanced stop lines (ASLs) on all junction approaches to improve the visibility of cyclists to drivers, avoid conflicts with left turning vehicles, and to allow cyclists to reach a safe position to turn right. Improvements to the footway facilities at the junction will include localised footway widening (Claremont Road arm of the junction) and the improvement of tactile paving layouts. The remaining footways at the junction will remain as existing.

A407/A5 Junction

Provision of cycle advanced stop lines (ASLs) on all junction approaches to improve the visibility of cyclists to drivers, avoid conflicts with left turning vehicles, and to allow cyclists to reach a safe position to turn right. Provision of a new signalised pelican crossing across the A407 Cricklewood Lane approach to the junction.

Other Key Infrastructure

Living Bridge

A new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the A406 (Bridge B7). This bridge will form a key north/south link across the A406 between the Brent Cross Shopping Centre/new bus station and areas to the south including Claremont Avenue and Clitterhouse playing fields.

Access to the Living Bridge from Claremont Avenue will be via a wide 16m approach which will connect with the segregated footway/cycleway provided alongside Claremont Avenue. A toucan crossing will be provided across Claremont Avenue to allow connections from Market Square/New Tempelhof Avenue and other areas to the west. Access to the Living Bridge from the north (bus station) will be via steps/lifts/escalators. The sloping southern approach to the living bridge will provide access for pedestrians and cyclists.

The effective width of the shared space path along the living bridge will vary across its length. Any narrow stretches of the Living Bridge will be short in length, with passing places provided along these sections of the route. The minimum effective width for pedestrians and cyclists is to be 7m, which is well in excess of the minimum width requirements for a shared facility.

A406 Tempelhof Bridge

This bridge (B1) will form another key north/south link across the A406 between the western roundabout and Claremont Road. A segregated footway/cycleway will be provided alongside the northbound carriageway of New Tempelhof Avenue linking with a segregated facility and toucan crossing at Claremont Avenue. To the north of the A406 the segregated footway/cycleway will link with a shared footway/cycleway facility connecting with the shopping centre car park access road and the shopping centre cycle parking provision. A toucan crossing will be provided across New Tempelhof Avenue in order to provide access to cycle parking located at the service road and the continued pedestrian/cycle route towards the BXSC car park access road. A pedestrian only footway will be provided alongside the



47065005-TP-RPT-041 Rev 03

southbound carriageway linking with Tempelhof Link Road and Market Square and a segregated footway/cycleway alongside the northbound carriageway.

River Brent Corridor

A shared footway/cycleway facility (5m wide) will be provided alongside the River Brent and will form a key east/west traffic-free connection linking the A41/A406 junction and the western roundabout. A pedestrian only link will be provided between the western roundabout and the M1/MML underpass; two river crossings will be provided along this pedestrian-only section.

Access to the River Brent Corridor in P1AN will be:

• from the car park access road (to the west of the western roundabout)

• steps/cycle rail to the east of the western roundabout

• from the Living Bridge/bus station via steps

• from the existing pedestrian path leading from the A41 underpass

• from the A41/A406 junction underpass/ pedestrian footbridge

Parks

Pedestrian and cycle links will be provided through Claremont Park, Clitterhouse Playing Fields and Sturgess Park.

Claremont Park

A shared footway/cycleway facility to be provided through park linking Claremont Avenue with Brent Terrace South. The narrowest point along the shared facility will be 4m.

Clitterhouse Playing Fields

A segregated footway/cycleway facility will be provided through Clitterhouse playing fields linking the residential area at Purbeck Drive to Claremont Avenue. The segregated facility will measure 5m in width and will be key in providing a north/south pedestrian and cycle link through the Brent Cross development site.

Sturgess Park

A shared footway/cycleway facility will be provided through the park linking the BXSC car park access road with Sturgess Avenue. This facility will measure 4.5m in width through the park.

A406 Crossings

Within P1AN there will be a total of six A406 crossings providing vital north/south connections. A summary of the bridge provision is as follows:

A406/A41 Footbridge and Underpasses

Works will include the general refurbishment of the underpasses and bridge (lighting/painting etc.). The footbridge will remain a key pedestrian/cycle link over the A406. Cyclists will be required to dismount on the bridge; however this bridge will not be a barrier to cyclist movement. Further detail is provided above.



47065005-TP-RPT-041 Rev 03

Living Bridge

The provision of a 15m wide bridge for shared use by pedestrians and cyclists. The minimum effective width (usable space for pedestrian/cycle movement) will be 7m. Further detail is provided above.

A406 Tempelhof Bridge

A segregated footway/cycleway will be provided alongside the northbound carriageway (western side) of New Tempelhof Avenue and a pedestrian only footway will be provided alongside the southbound carriageway linking with Tempelhof Link Road and Market Square. Further detail is provided above.

Pedestrian/Cycle Bridge (B6)

A shared pedestrian/cycle bridge will be provided across the Staples Corner/M1/A406 junction which will form a key north/south link across the A406.

Replacement Pedestrian-only Footbridge at Staples Corner

The existing north/south pedestrian bridge at Staples Corner (to the west of the pedestrian/cycle bridge (B6)) will be replaced and the new ramp on the northern side of the bridge will be wider than the existing provision to benefit mobility impaired users.

Existing Pedestrian-only Footbridges

Works will include the general refurbishment of the remaining existing Staples Corner footbridges (lighting/painting etc.)

Bus Stops and Coach Stops

The plan held in Appendix H identifies the location of the bus stops within the P1AN highway alignment. Through the development of the P1AN pedestrian and cycle strategy it has been ensured that all bus stops are accessible by foot. A number of existing bus stops are within the P1AN study area; however the existing pedestrian facilities to these bus stops are to remain unchanged. These bus stops are shown on the bus stop plan.

The location of the relocated coach stops are still under consideration and the final location is still to be agreed and confirmed with the local authorities. It will be ensured that suitable pedestrian linkages are provided to the agreed stops.

A41/BXSC Underpass, M1/MML Underpass, A41/A406 Junction Underpasses

Proposed improvements to the above pedestrian underpasses include general maintenance improvements such as painting and lighting improvements where required. The locations of the above underpasses are shown on the plan held in Appendix C.

Cycle Parking

A total of six public cycle parking locations have been identified within P1AN. The plan held in Appendix C (plan number BXCR/URS/ZZ/11/SK/CE/0001 Rev P05 dated 14/11/14) identifies the locations of the public cycle parking. Through the development of the P1AN pedestrian and cycle strategy it has been ensured that all cycle parking areas are easily accessed by bike.



47065005-TP-RPT-041 Rev 03

6 SUB-PHASE 1AN PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE PROVISION APPRAISAL

6.1 Sub-Phase 1AN Facility Appraisal

Schedule 17 of the S106 document sets out that the benchmark for the assessed pedestrian and cycle features (i.e. links, crossings, junctions, public spaces) is to aspire to attain where reasonably practicable a score of +3 (very good provision). The pedestrian and cycle appraisal process has been an ongoing process whereby the identified potential shortfalls in provision have been continually considered and incorporated into the ongoing design process (i.e. where possible designed out) of the sub-phase 1AN pedestrian and cycle network.

A review of the proposed cycle links has also been undertaken to ensure that any provision complies with the London Cycling Design Standards (2005) publication and other policy guidance as agreed with TfL and LBB and outlined in Section 3 of this report. Any shortfalls in provision in this respect have been incorporated into the ongoing design of the P1AN pedestrian and cycle network. The review of the pedestrian crossings required reference to LTN 2/95 ‘The Design of Pedestrian Crossings’.

6.2 Facility Appraisal Process

The proposed pedestrian and cycle links have been appraised using principles from the Pedestrian Environment Review System (PERS) and Cycling Environment Review System (CERS). The scores used against each audited parameter within PERS and CERS are weighted based on importance. Those with the highest weighting factor are considered most important. Within PERS the parameters are given a weighting factor of 1 (low priority), 2 (medium priority) or 3 (high priority). Within CERS the criteria are given a weighting factor of 1 (low priority), 2 (low/medium priority), 3 (medium priority), 4 (medium/high priority) or 5 (high priority).

Where possible, the parameters audited within PERS have been taken into account when appraising the proposed pedestrian facilities (links, crossings and public spaces) within sub-phase 1AN. These, along with the priority ranking for each are shown in Table 6.1 below.

The parameters shown in black text in the table below are those that it is considered that can be appraised at this stage using the level of detail available and appropriate for this strategy report. These factors have therefore been taken into account throughout the design process.

It should be noted that this is an appraisal of the pedestrian strategy and therefore a number of parameters cannot be assessed until further detail is understood at detailed design stage (e.g. gradient, sense of place, legibility, proposed lighting levels, colour contrast, signage etc.).



47065005-TP-RPT-041 Rev 03

It is considered that those shown in grey text in the above table cannot be suitably appraised at this stage.

PERS also assesses public transport waiting areas, interchanges and routes however the level of detail required to undertake assessments of the above facilities is not available at the time of producing this report and is not considered in this phase strategy appraisal.

Where possible, the parameters used within CERS have been taken into account when appraising the proposed cycle facilities (links and junctions) within P1AN. These, along with the priority ranking for each are shown in Table 6.2 below.

The parameters shown in black text in the table below are those that can be appraised at this stage using the level of detail available and appropriate for this report. These factors have therefore been taken into account throughout the design process.

It should be noted that this is an appraisal of the cycle strategy, therefore a number of parameters cannot be appraised until further detail is understood at the detailed design stage (e.g. personal security, proposed lighting levels, colour contrast etc.). It is considered that those shown in grey text in the above table cannot be suitably appraised at this stage.

CERS also assesses interchanges, cycle parking and routes however the level of detail required to undertake assessments of the above facilities is not available at the time of producing this report and is not considered in this strategy.

Within the PERS and CERS appraisal process, each parameter is scored on a range from -3 to +3, where +3 is very good and -3 is very poor. For a parameter to warrant a score of +3, it would need to be exemplary and of a standard to be identified as best practice. The PERS and CERS scoring scale is shown in Figure 6.1.

Figure 6.1 PERS/CERS Scoring Scale

As detailed in Figure 6.1 and as stated in the PERS and CERS handbooks, the colour ratings represent the following:

• green represents good or very good provision;

• amber represents average provision with some features that give cause for concern; and

• red represents a facility or aspect that displays a significant cause for concern.



47065005-TP-RPT-041 Rev 03

Within the PERS and CERS software scores are then weighted based on their relative importance to pedestrians and cyclists (as above).

The appraisal of the final optimised P1AN pedestrian and cycle network (Appendix C) is shown in the tables held in Appendix I. The tables demonstrate that the proposed facilities will attain the highest reasonably practicable score. In some cases, a score of +3 is not practicable; where this is the case comments with further detail have been added.

To maintain consistency of the scores given a scoring system has been used where possible. Where a scoring system has been used, this is shown at the end of each of the tables.

6.3 Pedestrian Footway Width and Flow Analysis

An assessment of the footway widths in terms of pedestrian comfort levels for the pedestrian links within P1AN has been undertaken. Given that at the time of producing this strategy future forecast pedestrian flows are not available, the principles held within the Pedestrian Comfort Guidance for London Guidance Document (TfL, 2010) have been used to calculate the effective ‘comfortable’ throughput to achieve TfL pedestrian comfort level (PCL) B+. PCL B+ is the recommended level of comfort for most area types.

Therefore, in the absence of the pedestrian flow data, a reverse process was undertaken whereby the maximum throughput for TfL PCL B+ was used to determine the comfortable pedestrian flows for each footway width.

Table 6.3 shows the results of this assessment. The table demonstrates that the proposed footway widths within P1AN are likely to comfortably accommodate pedestrian flows in excess of what are likely to be observed, particularly in P1AN. It should be noted however, that at this stage detail is not known about the provision and location of street furniture on these links, therefore the widths shown in the table below are the total footway widths as measured from the plans provided. It is likely that the effective footway widths will be narrower with the inclusion of street furniture.

9 SUMMARY


The S106 document sets out the requirement to provide a series of Reserved Matters Transport Reports (RMTR’s) and a sub-phase 1A North (P1AN) Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy. The strategy is required to set out the details of the pedestrian and cycle links and facilities within P1AN in accordance with the consented scheme.

Schedule 17 of the S106 states that one of the objectives of the Phase Transport Reports (PTR’s) and RMTR’s is to ensure that a comprehensive pedestrian and cycle network is provided within the BXC site, within and between each development phase and connecting to adjacent areas as the development progresses. In line with Condition 2.8 the new and improved pedestrian and cycle links and cycle parking spaces within this strategy will be implemented as part of P1AN.

A scoping exercise was carried out with TfL and LBB to establish the requirements of the P1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy and the specific outputs required following its completion. A scoping report was submitted and approved by TfL and LBB in August 2014.

A P1AN pedestrian and cycle strategy has been developed to ensure that following the implementation of P1AN the routes to and between the key destinations surrounding the phase boundary will continue to be accessible to pedestrian and cyclists; in addition it has been ensured that the pedestrian and cycle desire lines internal to P1AN have been catered for.

The P1AN pedestrian and cycle strategy has been developed following an ongoing iterative design review process during which modifications were suggested to provide enhanced pedestrian or cycle connections within the phase. It is considered that all suggested improvements have been incorporated into the design where feasible.

This report details the key elements of the strategy (including proposals at key areas and key infrastructure locations) and provides an appraisal of the pedestrian and cycle networks (broken down into links, crossings, junctions and public spaces) using principles from the Pedestrian Environment Review System (PERS) and Cycle Environment Review System (CERS).

An assessment of the footway widths in terms of pedestrian comfort levels for the pedestrian links within P1AN has also been undertaken to demonstrate that the proposed footway widths within P1AN are likely to comfortably accommodate pedestrian flows in excess of what are likely to be observed, particularly in P1AN.

Construction and delivery details will be provided in the construction traffic management proposals.

Public consultation on the P1AN proposals was included in the RMA consultation undertaken in October 2014. Full results from that event will be provided in the consultation report.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Planning Context


The S106 document sets out the requirement to provide a series of Reserved Matters Transport Reports including the Phase 1A North (1AN) Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy. The strategy is required to set out the details for the delivery of the pedestrian and cycle links and facilities within Phase 1AN in accordance with the consented scheme.

Schedule 17 of the S106 states that one of the objectives of the Phased Transport Reports (PTR’s), Pre-Reserved Matters Transport Reports (Pre RMTR’s) and Reserved Matters Transport Reports (RMTR’s) and is to ensure that a comprehensive pedestrian and cycle network is provided within the BXC site, within and between each development phase and connecting to adjacent areas as the development progresses.

This scope sets out the proposed methodology for carrying out the Phase 1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy in line with the outline scope set out in Schedule 17 of the S106.

In addition to this Phase 1AN Pedestrian and Cycling Strategy, an Area Wide Walking and Cycling Study will be undertaken which will examine the pedestrian and cycling links between the wider BXC site and the surrounding communities. The area wide study will review the pedestrian and cycle connections between the development site and key destinations (such as Cricklewood Town Centre and surrounding transport connections) and local residential areas (including Dollis Hill and Hendon). The study is anticipated to deliver a programme of potential schemes for improvements to pedestrian and cycle facilities adjacent to or beyond the site boundary, improving access both to and from the BXC site. Whilst the study has an area wide remit, the Phase 1AN Pedestrian and Cycling Strategy will need to refer to the assessment undertaken within this study and will take into account any relevant improvement measures agreed as part of the review.

As part of the development of this scope for the Phase 1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy a working group has been developed including attendees from TfL, the London Borough of Barnet (LBB) and URS. This group will meet to discuss the content and assessment undertaken as part of the study.

The scope will be discussed with representatives of LBB and TfL and will be refined with the intention of issuing a final version to the stakeholders for agreement by the BXC Working Group.

As agreed in Schedule 17 of the S106 Agreement, the London Borough of Brent (LB Brent) and the London Borough of Camden (LBC) will be consulted as part of the development of the study to agree with the Development Partners (DP) their internal and other costs for the scoping exercise.

1.1.1 The Consented BXC TA Documents

A full transport assessment for the original BXC planning application was approved in October 2010 with a subsequent Section 73 application submitted in October 2013 and in January 2014 the London Borough of Barnet resolved to approve it subject to the S106 agreement.


47065005-TP-RPT-010 Rev 04


September 2014

The S106 Agreement was updated and amended to reflect the S73 Consent and was signed in June 2014.

The list below provides a reference to the documents issued in support of the Section 73 application;

• BXC 05 Volume 1 Consolidated Transport Assessment Main Report

• BXC 05 Volume 2 Consolidated Transport Assessment Appendices

• BXC 05 Volume 3 Consolidated Transport Assessment Travel Plans

• BXC 05 Volume 4 Consolidated Transport Assessment Highway Engineering Proposals

• BXC 05 Volume 5 Section 73 Transport Report

• BXC 05 Volume 6 Section 73 Highway Engineering Report

It is proposed that the Phase 1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy will draw on the background information and analysis provided as part of these documents where appropriate.

The scope will be discussed with representatives of LBB and TfL as appropriate and will be refined with the intention of issuing a final version to the stakeholders for agreement by LBB and TfL.

1.2 S106 Agreement

The S106 documents set out the requirements for this study and will therefore form an important reference document. The relevant sections of the S106 and planning conditions relating to the Phased Pedestrian and Cycling Strategy are included in Appendix C of this scope for ease of reference. This document has been developed based on our understanding of the requirements of the Phase 1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy as described in the S106 agreement and following discussions with the London Borough of Barnet (LBB) and Transport for London (TfL).

1.3 Consultation

The scope of this report will be discussed and agreed with the LBB and TfL and submitted as a pre-RMA in order to discharge conditions as agreed in the S106 agreement.

1.4 Proposed Scope of Phase Transport Report: Phase 1AN

This section describes the scope of the Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy which will be provided in support of Phase 1AN of the BXC development.

The primary objective of the Phase 1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy is to set out the quantum and details of pedestrian and cycle links and facilities to be provided within Phase 1AN of the development in accordance with the Area Wide Walking and Cycling Study, the Phase Transport Report: Phase 1 and the S73 Consent Transport Assessment.

1.5 Proposed Contents of Phase 1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy

It is proposed that the following aspects will be included within the Phase 1AN Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy:

• A defined study area consistent with the extent of the Phase 1AN proposals

• A review of relevant policy and guidance for pedestrian and cycle provision

• Identification of key pedestrian and cycle destinations and desire lines will be identified and mapped for the following areas to ensure consistency and continuity with future phases (as appropriate):

� Within Phase 1AN

� Future phases of the BXC development

• Details of proposed pedestrian and cycle links within Phase 1AN, providing connections within the study area and towards surrounding areas

• Further detail on the pedestrian and cycle facilities proposed within Phase 1AN (i.e. cycle parking, pedestrian waiting areas) will be identified

• Review of proposed facilities in line with PERS and CERS (TfL cycle standards)

• Identification of any potential shortfalls in pedestrian and cycle provision, (i.e. between destinations/ desire lines and what is proposed)

• Development of an outline strategy to address any identified shortfalls within the proposed pedestrian and cycle links and facilities

• Identification of temporary routes required during construction activities

• Consultation with relevant stakeholders to ensure all pertinent topics considered

• Finalised strategy and set of proposed schemes to provide pedestrian and cycle facilities and provision for Phase 1AN of the development.

2 STUDY AREA

2.1 Introduction

The proposed study area will encompass the area covered by Phase 1AN of the proposed BXC development. The development areas included within Phase 1AN are shown in the drawing shown in Appendix B of this note.

It is proposed that the study area will ensure that Phase 1AN provides a comprehensive cycle and pedestrian network connecting key destinations within the phase and providing links to the strategic networks surrounding Phase 1AN and the wider development area. Links with the wider networks will be assessed in line with those set out in the Area Wide Walking and Cycling Study. The destinations identified as part of the Area Wide Walking and Cycling Study were as follows:

• Cricklewood town centre and First Capital Connect (FCC) station

• Brent Cross LU Station

• Hendon Central LU station

• West Hendon/Hendon FCC station

• Willesden Green town centre and LU station

• Golders Green town centre and LU station

• Dollis Hill town centre and LU station

• Childs Hill town centre

• Hendon town centre

• Colindale town centre and LU station

• Kilburn town centre and Kilburn High Road London Overground (LO) station

• Neasden town centre and LU station

• Temple Fortune town centre

• West Hampstead

With respect to accessibility, the proposed study area will cover all key links and desire lines to make sure that it is possible to travel safely by foot or bicycle between all parts of the sub-phase and to areas surrounding it.

In this respect routes throughout the site and connecting the site to a number of surrounding residential areas and other key transport connections (including CS11) will also be considered, as agreed with TfL and LBB as part of the scoping process. This section of the report will draw upon the Area Wide Walking and Cycle Study and will identify routes which have particular influence or importance to Phase 1AN.

In addition to reviewing the pedestrian and cycle links, the strategy will review the provision of pedestrian and cycle facilities, including cycle parking provision and the potential impact of the gateway junctions, footbridges and other infrastructure on the movement of both pedestrians and cyclists.

The study area will be confirmed with TfL and LBB prior to the commencement of the detailed assessment.

5 PHASE 1AN PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE STRATEGY

5.1 Introduction

This section of the report will summarise the proposed provision for pedestrians and cyclists within Phase 1AN, and how this varies from the existing situation.

With respect to pedestrian facilities, this will provide details of the proposed pedestrian links and connections and will include details on footway provision, pedestrian crossing facilities and pedestrian waiting areas.

Cycle facilities will also be summarised within this section of the report. Proposed cycle routes within Phase 1AN will be identified and categorised accordingly to distinguish between designated cycle routes and other possible cycle links. In addition to cycle links, other facilities for cyclists will be set out, including cycle parking provision and crossing facilities. Linkages to CS11 will be considered.

In addition to the above, the provision for both pedestrians and cyclists at the proposed elements of key infrastructure within Phase 1AN (such as the gateway junction design, footbridges and road crossings) will also be considered/ assessed.

In combination with the study area and key destinations identified earlier in the assessment, the proposed pedestrian and cycle provision within Phase 1AN will enable the further development of potential desire lines both within Phase 1AN itself, and also to other phases and wider strategic routes.

6 PHASE 1AN PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE PROVISION APPRAISAL

6.1 Introduction

An appraisal of the proposed pedestrian and cycle provision within Phase 1AN will be reviewed in connection within the identified desire lines and key destinations.

It is proposed that the review of the proposed pedestrian links will adhere to the assessment process set out in the Pedestrian Environment Review Score (PERS) assessment criteria. As set out in Schedule 17 of the S106 document, the benchmark for the assessed links will be to aspire to attain where reasonably practicable a score of +3. In addition to the assessment of the links, a review of the provision of pedestrian crossing and waiting facilities will be reviewed to identify any potential shortfalls in the proposed provision for pedestrians within Phase 1AN.

Similarly, the proposed cycle facilities will be assessed to ensure that any potential shortfalls in provision which impact on the development of a comprehensive cycle network throughout the phase will be addressed and that connections to areas outside of the phase boundary will be achievable. The benchmark for the assessed links will be to aspire to attain where reasonably practicable a score of +3. A review of the proposed cycle links will be undertaken to ensure that any provision complies with the London Cycling Design Standards (2005) publication and other policy guidance as agreed with TfL and LBB. Assessments of the proposed cycle routes will be carried out using the Cycling Environment Review Score (CERS) assessment criteria.

7 OUTLINE STRATEGY MODIFICATIONS

7.1 Introduction

Based on the appraisal of the proposed Phase 1AN provision, this section of the report will identify any requirements to amend the proposed provision in order to improve the pedestrian and cycle facilities proposed in Phase 1AN.

Modifications may be suggested to provide enhanced pedestrian or cycle connections within the phase and to the surrounding areas to ensure that accessibility on foot and by bicycle is maximised throughout the development phase. Suggested improvements may include the extension of designated cycle routes, extensions of segregated pedestrian links and enhancements to existing proposals for pedestrian and cycle routes and/or associated facilities.

In addition to potential improvements within Phase 1AN, any shortfalls identified in connecting Phase 1AN to key destinations outside of the phase will be reviewed in line with any measures which have been identified within the Area Wide Walking and Cycling Study.

This section will also set out a baseline requirement for the detailed design of the internal infrastructure to ensure that the pedestrian and cycling networks within the development phase provide a ‘very good’ level of service in line with current guidance and best practice.

At the time of writing this scope it is proposed that in addition to the above the following infrastructure elements will be included in this review:

• Gateway junctions

• Footbridges

• Underpasses

• Internal roads.

It is proposed to provide baseline definitions for the above infrastructure proposals that will be used as the basis for the development of the detailed design for these elements. For example, one of the objectives set by TfL is that this section will set out the improvements to the gateway junction designs and/ or subsequent S278 for TLRN at the Gateway locations or other parts of the network.
