people on foot, although there may still be significant impact on these groups. 1.5.7.3 Severance may be classified according to the following broad levels: None – little or no hindrance to pedestrian and others movement; Slight – all people wishing to make pedestrian and others movements would be able to do so, but there would be some hindrance to movement; Moderate – some people, particularly children and old people, are likely to be dissuaded from journeys on foot. For others, pedestrian journeys would be longer or less attractive; and, Severe – people are likely to be deterred from making pedestrian journeys to an extent sufficient to induce a reorganisation of their activities. In some cases, this could lead to a change in the location of centres of activity or to a permanent loss of access to certain facilities for a particular community. Those who do make journeys on foot would experience considerable hindrance. 1.5.7.4 To carry out the Assessment, the following steps are required: Estimate the level of severance for the Do Minimum (i.e. without the construction of the Scheme)and Do Something (i.e. with the construction of the Scheme) scenarios in the opening year (2014); By comparison of the level of severance for the Do Minimum and Do Something scenarios, estimate the change in severance (reductions and increases) based on the impact categories in Table 12.1; and, Estimate the number of people likely to be affected by the changes in severance. Table 12.1 Assessment of Change in Severance Do Something Severance Scenario Do Minimum Severance Scenario None Slight Moderate Severe None None Slight negative Moderate negative Large negative Slight Slight positive None Slight negative Moderate negative Moderate Moderate positive Slight positive None Slight negative Severe Large positive Moderate positive Slight positive None 1.5.7.5 Severance should be assessed at a number of locations across a network. This is likely to lead to a range of Assessments. Some locations in a network may experience reductions in severance, whilst others may experience increases. Some locations may experience greater changes in Environmental Statement Volume 2 A45/A46 Tollbar End Improvement Page 7 Part 12: Pedestrians et al March 2009
severance than others. For each level of change in severance, the numbers of people affected should be accumulated. The overall Assessment for the Scheme should then be based on the following guidelines (in each case, the Assessment is beneficial if severance is reduced, adverse if severance is increased): The overall Assessment is likely to be Neutral if increases in severance are broadly balanced by relief of severance; The overall Assessment is likely to be Slight where change in severance is slight or the total numbers of people affected across all levels of severance is low (e.g. less than 200 per day); The overall Assessment is likely to be Large where change in severance is large, and affects a moderate or high number of people or the total numbers of people affected across all levels of severance is high (e.g. greater than 1000 per day); and, The overall Assessment is likely to be Moderate in all other cases. 1.5.7.6 The numbers of cyclists and/or equestrians likely to be affected should be examined and, if significant, a qualitative Assessment made as to whether the impact of severance is more or less severe than for pedestrians.
