3 PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN Introduction. Price & Myers have been commissioned to carry out a Parking Feasibility Study for Y Bwthyn Specialist Palliative Care Unit at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital..2 The Parking Feasibility Study will review the existing parking on site and the requirement for additional parking to meet the needs of the proposed palliative care unit.. The existing site conditions, including the access routes and opportunities for travel on foot, bicycle and public transport are assessed in Section 2. The proposed development is reviewed in Section and the resultant trip generation and impact on the local highway is reviewed in Section. Section 5 gives the summary and conclusions. 2 Existing Site Conditions 2. Introduction 2.. This section describes the existing parking facilities available to the staff of the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. The site location and current use is outlined. The local highway network is described and the opportunities for walking, cycling and public transport travel to and from the site are explored. 2.2 Location, Access and Current Use 2.2. The site is located within the existing Royal Galmorgan Hospital, just off Ely Valley Road (A9). The nearest urban areas are Talbot Green to the south, Ynysmaerdy to the north and Llantrisant to the south east. The site location is shown in Figure The site has approximate OS coordinates of /879 at Grid Reference ST87, and the site s postcode is CF72 8LL. Figure 2.

4 PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN 2.2. As shown in Figure 2.2, the site is located within an existing car park to the south east of the main building at Royal Glamorgan Hospital. The site is accessible from Ely Valley Road to the east. Figure 2.2 Existing Site 2. Opportunities for Pedestrian Travel 2.. The Institution of Highways and Transportation (IHT) publication Guidelines for providing for Journeys on Foot (2) describes acceptable walking distances for pedestrians without mobility impairment. According to this document the desired walking distance for commuters and school pupils is up to 5 metres, an acceptable walking distance is up to,m, and up to 2, metres is the preferred maximum walking distance The site is less than,m from Ynysmaerdy which is accessible via a continuous pavement from the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. Any members of staff living in this area could easily walk to work. 256 Parking Feasibility Study Page of 5

5 PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN 2.. Large areas of Talbot Green are also with,m of the proposed development site, however according to Royal Glamorgan Hospital s Travel Plan the staff are reluctant to walk to work as it requires walking along a busy dual carriageway. 2. Opportunities for Cycle Travel 2.. According to the DfT s LTN / Policy, Planning and Design for Walking and Cycling the maximum comfortable distance that cyclists are typically prepared to cycle is up to 5km for non-leisure journeys, such as journeys to work or school Y Bwthyn Specialist Palliative Care Unit s cycle catchment area takes in Talbot Green, Ynysmaerdy and Llantrisant. Figure 2. shows the cycle infrastructure in the immediate vicinity of the development. 2.. As shown in Figure 2., a traffic-free route on the National Cycle Network passes very close to the development site. This is also linked to an on-road route on the National Cycle Network. This provides a safe/user friendly cycle route to and from Ynysmaerdy and Talbot Green which could be used by staff living locally to travel to work. Figure 2. Cycle Infrastructure in vicinity of the Royal Glamorgan Hospital 2.5 Opportunities for Public Transport Travel 2.5. According to the IHT publication Guidelines for Planning for Public Transport in Developments the maximum walking distance to a bus stop should not exceed metres and 8 metres for a tram/rail station There are two bus stops located immediately adjacent to the main entrance to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital which is approximately m from the development site. The bus stops are covered, well-lit and also have timetable signage in place The routes and frequencies of the buses that serve these bus stops are shown in Table 2.. There are other bus stops within 5m of the development site but these are all served by the same bus routes and therefore, they have not been included. 256 Parking Feasibility Study Page 5 of 5

Figure 2. Local Bus Services 2.5. As shown in Table 2., these bus stops are served by numerous bus routes. The site is connected to bus depots, such as Tonypandy, Pontypridd and Talbot Green, with buses running up to times an hour There is no train station within 8m of the development site. However, the Pontyclun Station is easily accessible by bus routes and 22 which stop outside the main entrance to Royal Glamorgan Hospital, as described above. 2.6 Existing Car Parking Facilities 2.6. There are currently,6 parking spaces available to the staff, visitors and patients of Royal Glamorgan Hospital. Of these, 8 are designated blue badge bays. These spaces are split between a number of car parks across the site. The largest car park is to the west of the main hospital building. A breakdown of the number of spaces in this car park is shown in Figure 2.5 (totalling,22). The remainder of the existing spaces are in smaller carparks located near to building entrances. 256 Parking Feasibility Study Page 6 of 5

7 PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN Figure 2.5 Main Car Park at Royal Glamorgan Hospital A parking accumulation survey, carried out in October 26, found that this car park is over capacity reaching a peak capacity of 6% in the mid-afternoon. It is assumed that the smaller car parks closer to the hospital buildings are also over capacity as these car parks are in more desirable locations and are therefore likely to reach capacity before the car park shown in Figure As previously described, the site is located within one of the existing car parks serving Royal Glamorgan Hospital. This car park currently has approximately 9 spaces. 2.7 Summary 2.7. The site is located within an existing car park attached to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and is accessible from Ely Valley Road The existing cycle infrastructure, including dedicated cycle routes, means there are good opportunities for cycle travel between the site and the local area. There are also good public transport links with buses serving numerous nearby urban areas as well as Pontyclun train station. 256 Parking Feasibility Study Page 7 of 5

8 PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN Proposed Development. Development Proposals.. It is proposed to provide a specialist palliative care service within the grounds of the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. At present, the local area is served by a specialist palliative care service on the site of Pontypridd District Hospital. It is proposed to renew this service by relocating it to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital...2 The proposed facility will have a gross floor area (GFA) of,2sqm and will accommodate approximately 2 day unit patients and 8 patient in the inpatient unit. The proposed site layout is shown in Figure.. Figure. Proposed Site Plan (Extract from drawing by KKE Architects) ts).2 Provision for Cycling.2. As outlined in Section 2., the site is well connected by existing cycle routes including a traffic free route which forms part of the National Cycle Network..2.2 In order to accommodate staff or visitors who may wish to cycle to the proposed development, cycle stands will be provided in line with the guidance set out in Rhondda Cynon Taf s Local Development Plan Supplementary Planning Guidance Delivering Design and Placemaking: Access, Circulation & Parking Requirements..2. The Local Development Plan (LDP) states that cycle parking should be located in a safe, secure and convenient location. For the purpose of this study we have classified the Inpatient Unit as a Hospital and the Day Unit as Health Centre and Surgeries as there is no classification for Hospice The requirements for the number of cycle stands are identified in the LDP as: Hospital Long Stay: stand per 2 beds; 256 Parking Feasibility Study Page 8 of 5

9 PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN Short Stay: stand per beds. Health Centres and Surgeries Long Stay: Included in short stay Short Stay: stand per consulting room.2. The proposed palliative care unit will provide 8 beds for inpatients, requiring stand, and Consulting Rooms in the day unit, requiring stands. Therefore, it is proposed to provide 5 bicycle stands which will accommodate bicycles to be safely stored on site at any time.. Parking.. The LDP sets both an operational minimum level of car parking and a maximum nonoperational level. The following requirements are set out: Hospital Operational: Essential vehicles as required; Maximum non-operational: 2.5 spaces per beds. Health Centres and Surgeries Operational: space per practitioner; Maximum non-operational: space per ancillary staff & spaces per practitioner...2 The staff and patient numbers for the proposed development and the associated minimum and maximum parking required has been outlined in Table. below. Number Minimum Provision Maximum Provision Inpatient unit (Hospital) Beds 8 2 Day Unit (Health Centre & Surgery) Practitioners Ancillary staff 2 8 Total Number of spaces 6 6 Table. Parking provision.. The proposed facility will replace an existing specialist palliative care unit in Pontypridd District Hospital. However, as the staff and visitors current commute to Pontypridd District Hospital will be significantly different to their future commute to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, it is not thought that a travel survey would accurately determine the required car parking provision... Therefore, the trip rates obtained from TRICS are considered to be the most robust assessment of the trip rates as well as the best fit with respect to assessing the required car parking provision. Refer to Section for the TRICS data and associated parking accumulation figures...5 Separate ambulance bays are included to the south of the proposed building. 256 Parking Feasibility Study Page 9 of 5

10 PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN Trip Generation. Introduction.. This section outlines the forecast trip rates and resultant traffic generation. In addition, the modal split and associated person trip generation is described..2 Proposed use Traffic Generation.2. The TRICS database was used to estimate the percentage of the vehicles expected to arrive at the development at different times of day and the resultant car accumulation. Reference was made to the Hospice category of the TRICS 7 database. All sites in this category were examined with the exception of those located in Greater. Only sites with patient figures of between 2 and 5 were selected..2.2 A summary of the TRICS output is shown in Table. where the top set of figures shown are per patient and then below these are extrapolated for 28 patients as there are expected to be a maximum of 2 patients in the Day Unit at any time and up to 8 patients in the Inpatient Unit. The full set of TRICS outputs can be found in Appendix B..2. As shown the maximum number of cars expected to park on site at any one time is 28. This figure has therefore been used to inform the required car parking provision for the proposed palliative care unit.

11 PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN.2. As previously mentioned, the proposed facility will replace an existing specialist palliative care unit in Pontypridd District Hospital. However, as the staff and visitors current commute to Pontypridd District Hospital will be significantly different to their future commute to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, it is not thought that a travel survey would accurately determine the trip rates associated with the proposed development..2.5 Therefore, the trip rates obtained from TRICS are considered to be the most robust assessment of the trip rates as well as the best fit with respect to assessing the required bar parking provision. As shown in Table., a parking provision of 28 no. car parking spaces is required.. Modal Split and Person Trip Generation.. It is necessary to determine a reasonable modal split from the site. In order to inform this modal split, the 2 National Census Method of Travel to Work by mode of travel data was studied...2 It is expected that staff and visitors will live within the greater Pontypridd area and therefore the modal split information shown in Table.2 will be reflective of the travel habits of the site users. The full census information can be found in Appendix A. Mode of Transport Persons* % of Total Underground, metro, light rail, tram 5.% Train,59.% Bus, minibus or coach,6.% Taxi 9.26% Motorcycle, scooter or moped 79.5% Driving a car or van 26, % Passenger in a car or van 2,7 7.% Bicycle 222.6% On foot 2,69 7.6% Total Persons* 5,22 *after work at home, unemployed and other were removed Table.2 Method of Travel to Work Data for Employees living in the t Pontypridd area.. From studying Table., it is difficult to pinpoint peak hours on which to focus the modal split study as it is expected that there will be steady flow of people arriving at and departing from the hospice throughout the day. Therefore, the peak hours of the surrounding infrastructure were studied as shown in Table. (7-9 & 6-8). Mode of Transport % Modal Total Trip Rates Split Underground, metro, light rail, tram.% Train.% Bus, minibus or coach.% Taxi.26% Motorcycle, scooter or moped.5% Driving a car or van 75.6% Passenger in a car or van 7.% Bicycle.6% On foot 7.6% Table.

12 . Impact of Additional Person Trips on the Local Infrastructure PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN.. It is expected that the proposed development will result in a minor increase in the number of journeys to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and surrounding area. However, the increase in trip rates is expected to be negligible when compared to the existing trip rates associated with the Royal Glamorgan Hospital...2 Therefore, there is not expected to be any impact on the capacity of the existing infrastructure. 256 Parking Feasibility Study Page 2 of 5

13 PALLIATIVE CARE UNIT, Y BWTHYN 5 Summary & Conclusions 5. Price & Myers have been commissioned to carry out a Parking Feasibility Study for Y Bwthyn Specialist Palliative Care Unit at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. 5.2 The location of the palliative care unit is described in Section 2. Section 2 also outlines the accessibility of the development and the potential for travel by various transport modes. 5. It is concluded that the proposed development site is accessible by a variety of sustainable modes of transport, and as a result is a suitable location for a healthcare development. Given the areas within an acceptable walking distance of the site, and the existing pedestrian infrastructure around the site, there are good opportunities for pedestrian travel. A similar deduction can be made for cycle travel, especially since the development is located on a National Cycle Route. The site is also accessible by bus, with up to buses per hour providing access to Tonypandy, Pontypridd and Talbot Green. The bus services also provide good access to Pontyclun Station, therefore giving scope for multi-modal journeys. 5. The proposed development will result in a minor increase in pedestrian, cyclist and public transport trips in the locality. However, it was deduced that the existing infrastructure will be able to cope with the increase in trips and that no mitigation measures are required. 5.5 According to the parking provision policy set out in Rhondda Cynon Taf s Local Development Plan, a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 6 parking spaces are required for the development. In order to estimate the actual car parking demand, TRICS data was analysed and this showed that 28 parking spaces would be required. Considering the staff figures and the number of beds in the proposed palliative care unit, this parking provision is considered suitable. 256 Parking Feasibility Study Page of 5

It is split by three main columns, representing arrivals trips, departures trips, and total trips (arrivals plus departures). Within each of these main columns are three sub-columns. These display the number of survey days where count data is included (per time period), the average value of the selected trip rate calculation parameter (per time period), and the trip rate result (per time period). Total trip rates (the sum of the column) are also displayed at the foot of the table. To obtain a trip rate, the average (mean) trip rate parameter value (TRP) is first calculated for all selected survey days that have count data available for the stated time period. The average (mean) number of arrivals, departures or totals (whichever applies) is also calculated (COUNT) for all selected survey days that have count data available for the stated time period. Then, the average count is divided by the average trip rate parameter value, and multiplied by the stated calculation factor (shown just above the table and abbreviated here as FACT). So, the method is: COUNT/TRP*FACT. Trip rates are then rounded to decimal places. Parameter summary Trip rate parameter range selected: Survey date date range: Number of weekdays (Monday-Friday): Number of Saturdays: Number of Sundays: Surveys automatically removed from selection: Surveys manually removed from selection: 2-2 (units: ) //8-2// This section displays a quick summary of some of the data filtering selections made by the TRICS user.

Then, the total number of selected weekdays and weekend days in the selected set of surveys are show. Finally, the number of survey days that have been manually removed from the selected set outside of the standard filtering procedure are displayed.
