1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Go-surveys limited have been commissioned by Lidl UK GmbH to provide traffic and transport

advice in support of their planning application for the redevelopment of their existing store

adjacent to Bristol Road, Gloucester.

1.2 The site currently accommodates two retail units. Unit 1 is occupied by a Lidl foodstore with a

Gross Internal Area (GIA) of 1,290 m2 of which 941 m2 is classified as sales area. Unit 2 was

previously occupied by a ‘Bargain Base’ store with a GIA of 784 m2 of which all is classified as

sales area, although this store is currently not operational.

1.3 It is proposed to reconfigure and rationalise the existing site to accommodate a Lidl store with a

GIA of 2,418m2 (of which 1,424m2 will be classified as sales area) and associated car parking

and servicing facilities.

1.4 The redevelopment proposals will see the position of the store largely unchanged from its

existing north-westerly position within the site. The main purpose of the proposals are to

update and improve warehousing and operational functions within the store to ensure that

these are in line with Lidl’s latest build specification, with a key aim to improve the experience

of both existing and new customers within the store

1.5 The existing store is considered a 'first generation' of Lidl stores and as such it now struggles to

meet Lidl’s high servicing and operational requirements. In short, the new store needs to be

'future proofed' to achieve Lidl’s expectations and those of their customers, ensuring that they

produce the best possible shopping experience in store, whilst providing a first rate place of

employment for their staff. Whilst the primary aim of these improvements are intended to

benefit existing customers, it is acknowledged that the proposals may result in some new

customer volume, albeit by a relatively small amount.

1.6 This Transport Statement has been prepared to assess:

• the suitability of the parking provision within the site as a result of the redevelopment

proposals.

1.7 The scope of this report has been based on pre-application advice received from the Local

Planning Authority (LPA), Gloucester City Council, in January 2016. That advice included a

request that the application be accompanied by evidence to demonstrate that sufficient on-site

parking will be provided to meet the demand generated by the new, larger store.

1.8 The Highway Authority has also confirmed that the application will not need to be accompanied

by either a Transport Assessment or a Transport Statement.

1.9 The structure of the report is as follows:

• Section 2: sets out the existing conditions;

• Section 3: details the redevelopment proposals

• Section 4: forecasts the vehicular trip attraction to the site and provides comment on the

effect on the utilisation of the car park.

• Section 5: Provides a summary and conclusions.

2 EXISTING CONDITIONS

Site Details

2.1 The site is located to the west of Bristol Road approximately 3km to the south-west of

Gloucester town centre. The location of the site is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Site Location Plan.

2.2 The site is owned by Lidl UK GmbH and comprises one building split into two retail units as

identified on the existing site layout plan shown in Figure 2. Unit 1 is currently occupied by a

Lidl Foodstore. Unit 2 is currently vacant although was formally trading as a ‘Bargain Base’ store

and has a permitted A1 land use with restrictions on the sale of food items limited to 30% of

the GFA of the site.

2.3 The site is bordered to the north and south by a number of light industrial units, to the east by

Bristol Road a public house and a number of residential properties, and to the west by the

Gloucester and Sharpness canal.

Figure 2: Existing site layout.

2.4 The location of the site is ideally suited to accommodate the retail needs of the local walk in

catchment population of St Pauls and Linden. The site is adjacent to Bristol Road, which

provides one of the main urban traffic routes between the M5 Junction 12, and south-eastern

residential areas of Gloucester, hence the site is ideally suited to cater for ‘pass-by’ and ‘linked’

vehicular trips.

Site Access

2.5 Vehicular access is provided via the Bristol Road/ Tuffley Avenue/Site Access signalised

junction. Direct pedestrian access is provided from Bristol Road via a footway adjacent to the

site access road.

Existing Trip Attraction

2.6 Details of the observed trip attraction for the existing store have been derived from Manual

Classified Count (MCC) traffic surveys undertaken at the access to the site on Friday 10th and

Saturday 11th March 2016 between 08:00-22:00 during both days and correspond with the

opening hours of the store during each of these days.

2.7 It should be noted that at the time of the surveys only the ‘Bargain Base’ store was not

operational and therefore the traffic surveys reflect the operation of only the Lidl Store.

2.8 The observed daily arrival and departure profiles for Friday and Saturday are shown in Figures

3 and 4 respectively.

Car Parking Provision

2.11 The site currently has 135 car parking spaces including 4 (3%) disabled spaces and 4 (3%)

Parent and child spaces. The parking spaces for the site are unallocated and provide parking

provision for both retail units.

Existing Parking Accumulation

2.12 The existing parking utilisation for the store has been based on the observed arrival and

departure profile for customers travelling to the site by car i.e. those visiting the Lidl store.

2.13 Based on this information, the maximum utilisation of the car park occurs on a Friday between

11:45-12:00 whereby the car park had a maximum occupancy of 39% and on a Saturday

between 12:15-12:30 whereby the car park had a maximum occupancy of 36%. The observed

utilisation of the car park has identified that there is currently significant spare capacity during

both Friday and Saturday.

2.14 A summary of the observed parking utilisation for Friday and Saturday is shown in Figures 5

and 6.

3 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS

3.1 It is proposed to reconfigure and rationalise the existing site to accommodate a Lidl store with a

GIA of 2,418m2 of which 1,424m2 will be classified as sales area and associated car parking and

servicing facilities. The aim of this redevelopment is to improve the retail offering and shopping

environment for existing customers and to improve the overall operation of the site.

3.2 A copy of the proposed site layout including parking arrangements is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 – Proposed Site layout.

Development composition

3.3 The development proposals will increase the Gross Internal Area (GIA) of the Lidl store from

1,290 m2 to 2,418 m2. It should be noted however that the site comprises two retail units with a

combined GIA of 2,074 m2 therefore the proposals will result in an overall increase in the GIA of

the total existing site of 344 m2 and a decrease in the overall sales area of the site by 301m2.

Parking

3.4 The redevelopment proposals will result in a slight decrease in the overall number of parking

spaces from a total of 135 spaces to 120 spaces. Of the proposed 120 parking spaces 8 (7%)

will be designated for disabled use and 4 (3%) designated for parent & child use. The

reconfiguration of the car park will enable all of the disabled spaces and parent and child spaces

Lidl – Bristol Road, Gloucester – Parking Assessment Note 11 Macintosh HD:go-surveys:Transport Planning:GS376 - Lidl - Bristol Road, Gloucester:Parking Assessment Note:GS376-2016 - Lidl, Bristol Road, Gloucester - Parking Assessment Note - Final.docx July 2016

to be located adjacent to the store entrance making these spaces more convenient customers

who utilise these spaces.

3.5 Since no additional product lines will be introduced following the redevelopment of the site, Lidl

do not anticipate a significant increase in customer numbers, thus concurring with the view that

increasing the size of the sales area of the store will not be reflected in a directly proportional

increase in customer volume and hence traffic attraction to the site. Primarily, the focus of the

proposals is to improve the retail offer to existing customers by providing a more pleasant

shopping environment and by providing improved storage and back room functionality, with this

later element comprising by far the majority of the proposed increase in GIA

3.6 Further details on the forecast car parking utilisation as a result of the development proposals

are provided in Section 4.

4 QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT

4.1 This section of the report quantifies the potential effect of the proposed redevelopment by

examining changes in traffic attraction and thus utilisation of the car park.

Observed Lidl Trip Attraction

4.2 The existing traffic attraction at the store during a typical Friday and Saturday is summarised in

Section 3.

4.3 As previously noted, the development proposals for the store will result in an increase in the

total GIA of the entirety of the building within the site from 2,074m2 to 2,418m2 and a decrease

in the total sales area of the site from 1,725m2 to 1,424m2.

4.4 By redeveloping the store, Lidl seek to enhance the quality of the store’s existing retail offer by

providing an improved shopping experience for customers and place of employment for staff.

4.5 The store improvements are being proposed in response to a change in build specification and

will offer a new shopping experience for those using the store. As such the major beneficiaries

of the proposals will be existing customers although, as this report will identify, it is anticipated

that some new customers will result from the proposals.

4.6 The redevelopment will allow for additional shelf space, enabling Lidl to keep greater quantities

of key lines on the shelves, thereby reducing the necessity for restocking during the stores

opening hours.

4.7 The proposals mirror similar schemes that Lidl are engaged in throughout their store portfolio

across the UK and these changes reflect a general trend towards the improvement of the

existing offering, and improved back room functionality.

Trip Attraction

Using TRICS

4.8 TRICS is a valued and respected database that is typically used to predict traffic generations for

new build developments based on data derived from comparable sites. However, it has two

significant weaknesses; much of the data is quite old and does not reflect modern retail

formats; and little if any useful data exists to indicate the incremental effect of extending a food

retail store.

Lidl – Bristol Road, Gloucester – Parking Assessment Note 13 Macintosh HD:go-surveys:Transport Planning:GS376 - Lidl - Bristol Road, Gloucester:Parking Assessment Note:GS376-2016 - Lidl, Bristol Road, Gloucester - Parking Assessment Note - Final.docx July 2016

4.9 Therefore, the use of TRICS data is not appropriate for this purpose as the development is not

a ‘new’ development but the reconfiguration of an existing store.

4.10 There is an existing demand for the store which will continue once the redevelopment is

complete. At the same time, the proposed increase in sales area is primarily focused on

improving the offer to existing customers rather than significantly increasing trade draw or

catchment of the store.

4.11 On this basis, it is considered that the appropriate starting point for determining the additional

trip generation associated with the redevelopment should be by the use of the observed traffic

data from Lidl and not hypothetical trip rates from TRICS. As has already been stated, TRICS

has little data that would allow the effect of a redevelopment to be quantified. Instead, it would

be necessary using TRICS to treat the extended store as a new entity, which is clearly not the

case.

Using Observed Lidl Data

4.12 Although the development proposals will result in a decrease in the overall sales area of the

site, it will result in an increase in the sales area attributed to the Lidl foodstore of 483m2 that

represents an increase in sales area above the existing store of 51%.

4.13 For existing developments an increase in floor areas does not result in a pro-rata increase in

customers visiting the site. Retailers who increase the sales area of existing premises typically

expect a proportional increase in customers of approximately 30% i.e. a 100% increase in sales

area results in a 30% increase in customer numbers and takings. The main reasons for this are:

• A number of trips to the new retail space are made by existing customers, with existing

customers staying longer;

• An increase in floor area enables a retailer to display more stock within the sales area;

and

• Extensions or the redevelopment of existing stores are often proposed to keep pace with

competing facilities, and if improvements are not made existing custom is lost.

4.14 On this basis a 51% increase in sales area could potentially result in an increase in trip

attraction to the site of 15%, although based on more recent studies undertaken at other food

retail developments this figure is likely to be significantly lower i.e. no material increase in trip

attraction to the site to only a 5% increase in trip attraction to the site.

Lidl – Bristol Road, Gloucester – Parking Assessment Note 14 Macintosh HD:go-surveys:Transport Planning:GS376 - Lidl - Bristol Road, Gloucester:Parking Assessment Note:GS376-2016 - Lidl, Bristol Road, Gloucester - Parking Assessment Note - Final.docx July 2016

4.15 However, in order to ensure the car parking utilisation analysis is ‘robust’ we have undertaken a

theoretical exercise whereby the traffic generated by the existing Lidl store site has been

increased by a directly proportional amount to the increase in proposed sales area of the

proposed store i.e. 51%. Therefore, an increase in arrivals and departures of 51% above the

baseline has been assumed across the board for Friday and Saturday. The effect of this is

summarised in Tables 4.1 and 4.2:

Forecast Parking Utilisation

4.16 Based on the theoretical trip attraction assessment undertaken for the purposes of assessing

the forecast parking utilisation to the site as a result of the reconfiguration proposals, an

assessment has been made on the suitability of the proposed parking provision for the store. As

noted in Section 3, it is proposed that the store will provide 120 parking spaces including 8

disabled spaces and 4 parent and child spaces.

4.17 Based on the forecast trip generations shown in Tables 4.1 and 4.2, which accounts for the

additional post reconfiguration parking accumulation, the peak parking accumulation for the

store is forecast to be 66% (11:45-12:00) during Friday. Figure 8 shows the forecast parking

utilisation for the site based on the foregoing judgements.

Figure 8: Forecast Car Parking Utilisation

4.18 Based on this assessment it is evident that there will be sufficient parking provision within the

proposed new store to cater for any potential increase in customer volume post redevelopment.

5 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

5.1 Go-surveys limited have been commissioned by Lidl UK GmbH to provide traffic and transport

advice in support of their planning application for the redevelopment of their existing store

adjacent to Bristol Road, Gloucester.

5.2 The scope of this report has been based on pre-application advice received from the Local

Planning Authority (LPA), Gloucester City Council, in January 2016. That advice included a

request that the application be accompanied by evidence to demonstrate that sufficient on-site

parking will be provided to meet the demand generated by the new, larger store.

5.3 The Highway Authority has also confirmed that the application will not need to be accompanied

by either a Transport Assessment or a Transport Statement.

5.4 The development proposals for the store will result in an increase in the total GIA of the

entirety of the site from 2,074m2 to 2,418m2 and a decrease in the total sales area of the site

from 1,725m2 to 1,424m2.

5.5 The development proposals will see the layout and car parking provision within the site

rationalised to make more efficient use of the site. The aim of this redevelopment is to improve

the retail offer and shopping environment for existing customers and to improve the operation

of the site.

5.6 The trip attraction and parking accumulation analysis have shown that the car parking

proposals at this store will have a negligible effect in terms of the overall operation and capacity

of the car park.

5.7 In conclusion, there should be no reason from a transportation viewpoint why planning consent

relating to the proposed redevelopment of the site should not be granted.
