LONGFORD ESTATES AND ST. NICHOLAS HOSPITAL Land off Britford Lane, Harnham, Salisbury Key Consideration: Traffic Drainage and flooding KEY CONSIDERATIONS The proposed site is at low risk of flooding from the River Avon. The site is situated 80 metres from the River and does not sit on watermeadows. It also lies outside of the Environment Agency’s designated Flood Zone. There is no record of the development site having flooded. Images of historic flood events correspond with the Environment Agency’s Historic Flood Outlines, which show the surrounding fields at risk of flooding but the proposed development site flood free. Most of the site is in Flood Zone 1, which means that it is within an area of land that has a less than 1 in 1,000 annual chance of flooding. Flood Zone 2 has a chance of between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance of flooding. Development on the site will provide an opportunity to manage surface water and should help to reduce the risk of flooding in surrounding areas due to improved percolation. A comprehensive drainage management plan will be submitted as part of the planning application. This will ensure development on this site will not have any adverse impact or increased flood risk. Flood zone map Historic Flooding map Key Consideration: Traffic An analysis of ‘travel to work’ from this part of Salisbury based upon the 2011 Census suggests that 56% of people drive whilst 23% walk. The remainder use public transport, cycle or car share. It is estimated that the proposed development of 100 homes will result in a maximum of 50 extra vehicle trips in each peak hour, as people spread their journey times; many travel between 08:00 and 09:00 for example, but some will leave before 08:00. Peak hour traffic counts were undertaken during term time (June 2015) at key junctions along Newbridge Road, Downton Road, Burford Road, A354 and A338. Based upon these surveys, it is estimated that the proposed development will result in a 2-3% increase in traffic on the local road network. Notwithstanding the above, local concern about existing traffic issues is recognised. Consultations have therefore been held with Wiltshire Council, who are currently working on a Salisbury Transport Strategy, which includes a review of the Harnham Gyratory and the Exeter Street Roundabout. The proposed development will make a financial contribution to the Council’s highways improvement strategy. Potential short-term solutions, such as yellow hatching on the junction of Britford Lane and Newbridge Road, a signalised ‘pelican’ crossing and a no left turn sign from the site keeping traffic impact to a minimum on Burford Avenue are under consideration as can be seen in the plans.

It is situated on the south side of Salisbury on the banks of the River Avon, and its location provides a clue to its early role as a resting place for travellers. Over the centuries it has evolved into an Almshouse with 24 flats offering accommodation to those in need of assistance. It is also a community with its life centred on regular worship in the chapel and enriched by communal activities. St Nicholas Hospital has been part of the Salisbury community for centuries For over 800 years, St Nicholas has served the Salisbury community and is looking both to maintain and enhance its hospitable provision for the present and future generations of those in need.
