Introduction
Arup has been commissioned by Argent (Property Development) Services LLP

(Argent) to provide transport planning and highways infrastructure services in
support of a Reserved Matters Application (RMA) for Brent Cross South (BXS)
Phase 1A (South), part of the Brent Cross Cricklewood (BXC) development. This
report is the Reserved Matters Transport Report (RMTR) for Phase 1A (South) as
required by the outline planning permission granted pursuant to a Section 73
application and dated 23 July 2014 (ref. F/04687/13) (the 2014 Permission).
The BXC site is located in northwest London within the London Borough of
Barnet (LBB) and includes land to the north and south of the A406 North Circular
Road between junctions with the A5 Edgware Road, M1 and A41 Hendon Way.
BXS covers the southern part of the BXC site, bounded by the A406 to the north,
A5 to the west and A41 to the east, as shown in Figure 1. This RMTR relates
specifically to the highways infrastructure requirements of Phase 1A (South), and
as such comprises two sections of highway intended to facilitate further plot
development within BXS.
The scope of this RMTR is therefore limited to the impacts relating to the
introduction of two additional pieces of highway infrastructure, Claremont Park
Road (Part 1) and School Lane, where these links connect to the highway network
that has been presented in the RMTR for Phase 1A (North). These sections are
shown in the context of the wider development in Figure 2.
1.1
Planning Context
There is an extant outline planning permission in place for BXC, namely, the
2014 Permission (which, if implemented, will supersede the original outline
planning permission which was granted in 2010 (the 2010 Permission)). The
2014 Permission sets the framework of control that will ensure that the BXC
development will be carried out in a manner that is consistent with the transport
analysis undertaken at the time of the planning application, the BXC Consolidated
Transport Assessment (see below).
The Section 106 (S106) document and conditions 37.5 and 37.6 of the 2014
Permission sets out the requirement to provide a Reserved Matters Transport
Report (RMTR) to be submitted for each sub-phase of the development.
1.2
The Consented BXC Documents
A full Transport Assessment accompanied the 2010 Permission. The transport

information was updated in 2013 and the updated information forms part of the
2014 Permission. The list below provides a reference to the transport documents
issued in support of the 2014 Permission:

Proposals
BXC 05 Volume 5 Section 73 Transport Report
BXC 05 Volume 6 Section 73 Highway Engineering Report
The 2014 Permission divides the site up into a series of Phases and Sub Phases.
Phase 1A South is defined as consisting of three Critical Infrastructure items:
A5/Diverted Geron Way (Waste Handling Facility) Junction;
Claremont Park Road (Part 1); and
School Lane.
As set out in the Revised Development Specification and Framework (RDSF)

(which is tied to the 2014 Permission under Condition 1.16), the 2014 Permission
provides full planning consent in respect of nine junctions, referred to as the
Gateway Junctions controlled under Condition 1.29. Reserved matters approval
does not, therefore, need to be sought for these works. The A5/Diverted Geron
Way (Waste Handling Facility) Junction is one of the nine Gateway Junctions and
therefore it is not covered within this report.
As well as the 2014 Permission documentation, this RMTR also refers to the
relevant Phase Transport Plan (PTR:P1); the approved PTR for Phase 1 also forms
part of the associated background information. Where appropriate, reference to
documents submitted under the BXC Phase 1A (North) RMAs has also been
made.
The RMTR draws on the background information and analysis provided as part of
these documents throughout. The S106 documents set out the requirements for
this study and will therefore also form an important reference document.
1.3
Consultation
The scope of this RMTR has been discussed with LBB and approved under
condition 37.1 of permission reference F/04687/13. The infrastructure proposed
as part of the Phase 1A (South) RMA is not expected to form part of the Transport
for London Road Network (TLRN) nor Highways Englands (HE) Strategic
Road Network (SRN), and is therefore expected to fall under LBBs control as the
local highway authority, and as such neither TfL or HE have been formally
consulted.
1.4
Scope of Reserved Matters Transport Report:

Phase 1A (South)
This RMTR is submitted with the RMA for BXS Phase 1A (South) to address the
associated detailed transport issues. The scope of the RMTR for Phase 1A
(South) is set out in the approved scope document 245526-00/SRMTR.

Comments received on the scoping document and from LBB in respect of the
draft proposals have been incorporated into this document as appropriate.
1.5
Report Structure
Following on from this section the remainder of the report is structured as

follows:
Section 2 provides details of existing site information in relation to public

transport, pedestrians and cyclists;
Section 3 examines the baseline transport networks and provides data for
buses, coaches, rail and London Underground;
Section 4 examines the development proposals in relation to the S73 scheme,

the Phased Transport Report and the BXS Phase 1A (South) proposals,
including impacts on public transport, pedestrians and cyclists;
Section 5 summarises the proposals for BXS Phase 1A (South) in relation to

the Phased Transport Strategy; and
Section 6 provides the summary and conclusions for the RMTR.

Existing Conditions
This chapter presents a review of the existing transport conditions relevant to the
development proposals in the context of the existing site. The overall accessibility
of the site has been assessed with respect to public transport, pedestrian, cycle and
vehicular access and presents the 2015 baseline position illustrating the
connectivity of the site with the surrounding area.
2.1
Existing Site Information
The BXC site is located in northwest London within the London Borough of
Barnet (LBB) and includes land to the north and south of the A406 between
junctions with the A5, M1 and A41. BXS covers the southern part of the BXC
site, bounded by the A406 to the north, A5 to the west and A41 to the east.
The BXS site currently comprises a range of land uses, comprising mainly
residential, retail, industrial and business land uses to the south of the A406. BXS
Phase 1A (South) connects to the network approved in relation to BXC Phase 1A
(North); the context of the existing site, BXC Phase 1A (North) and BXS Phase
1A (South) is shown in Figure 2.
2.2
Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL)
TfLs WebCAT interface provides existing (2011) and future forecast (2021 and
2031) public transport accessibility level (PTAL) mapping for Greater London.
Areas are graded from 1a (poor public transport accessibility) to 6b (very good
public transport accessibility). Reviewing the area covered by BXS Phase 1AS,
PTALs across the site range from 2 to 4; the future forecasts do not yet show any
improvements associated with the BXC development. The PTAL outputs for
BXS Phase 1A (South) are contained in Appendix A.
In the wider context, PTALs increase closer to Brent Cross Underground station
and Brent Cross bus station to the north, and Cricklewood Railway Station to the
south. The lowest PTALs in the immediate vicinity of BXS Phase 1A (South) lie
to the south, on Clitterhouse Playing Fields and to the west of Brent Terrace.
2.3
Pedestrian and Cyclist Amenities
As presented in transport documents BXC05 submitted under the Section 73

application, existing pedestrian and cycle connectivity across BXC, and in
particular BXS, is limited beyond the immediate area. The location of the site in
relation to the A406, A41, A5 and M1 corridors as well as the Midland Mainline
(MML) railway and Cricklewood railway lands to the west essentially isolates the
site from the surrounding area by cycle or on foot. The existing pedestrian and
cycle network is presented in BXC05, and is reproduced in Figure 3.
Within the immediate area associated with the BXS Phase 1A (South)
development, pedestrian links through Clarefield Park and Clitterhouse Playing
Fields provide connections to the west and south, while pedestrian links to Brent

1A(S) - ISSUE.DOCX
Page 4

Cross Shopping Centre and Bus Station to the north are via footways along
Claremont Road and Brent Terrace. Access to Tesco and the Hendon Leisure
Centre to the east is via Claremont Road and Marble Drive.
Cycle facilities are currently poor with little connectivity across the development
area. There are several designated cycle routes and combined cycle/pedestrian
routes in the area, some of which form part of the TfL cycle network, but they are
difficult to identify on the ground. In general provision between the BXC site and
the adjacent residential areas is constrained by the existing major transport
corridors and the River Brent, which together form a barrier around much of the
site.
The majority of cycle provision is on road, with locally signed routes along
Claremont Road, Prayle Grove, Brent Terrace and Tilling Road. There are some
combined pedestrian/cycle facilities, in particular via the pedestrian bridges across
the A406 and at the A5 and M1 junctions and underpasses at the A41 and MML,
however in the main cyclists are required to dismount to minimise conflict with
pedestrians.
TfL have proposed to extend the Cycle Superhighways scheme towards the
regeneration area with the proposed CS11 route, however further details are not
publically available at the present time. The proposed Cycle Superhighway is
expected to start in Central London and provide improved connections to and
from the centre of London for cyclists along the A41.
A detailed review of the existing transport conditions was presented in the
PTR:P1, which this report should be considered to be supplementary to. Further
information on pedestrian and cycle facilities associated with Phase 1A (South) is
presented in the Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy for Phase 1A (South) submitted
alongside this report.

Baseline Transport Data
The limited extent of Phase 1A (South) results in limited interaction with the
existing highway network. The larger changes to the existing network fall under
the remit of Phase 1A (North), and as such there are two elements to consider in
relation to Phase 1A (South); the existing highway network and the highway
network improvements under the RMAs for Phase 1A (North).
The highway network in Phase 1A (South) provides connections for further plot
development from the Phase 1A (North) network, as well as providing a
temporary connection to Claremont Road via School Lane. Connections to the
Phase 1A (North) network are at the following junctions:
Claremont Avenue/Market Square/School Lane; and
Claremont Avenue/Orchard Lane/Claremont Park Road.
The following links are therefore key to determining the baseline network prior to
the construction of the links comprising Phase 1A (South):
Claremont Road (existing);
Claremont Avenue (Phase 1A (North));
Orchard Lane (Phase 1A (North)); and
Market Square (Phase 1A (North)).
The RMAs for Phase 1A (North) also incorporated detailed requirements for
Claremont Park, which bounds Claremont Park Road to the south. The local
highway network at Phase 1A (North) is presented within the RMTR:P1AN
appendices, and is not reproduced here. Further details on the wider baseline
network are presented in PTR:P1, and as such are also not reiterated here.
3.1
Highway network
Claremont Road, Claremont Avenue, Orchard Lane and Market Square connect
the proposed development in Phase 1A (South) to both the existing and approved
networks.
Claremont Road is a key north-south distributor which connects Clitterhouse
Playing Fields and the existing residential areas to the south to the southern end of
the Phase 1A (North) highway network where it becomes Claremont Avenue (at
the junction with Orchard Lane and Claremont Park Road). The northern section
of Claremont Road which connects to Tilling Road remains in Phase 1A (South),
and is connected to the Phase 1A (South) element of School Lane. It is presently
a two-way single carriageway street with a 30mph speed limit and footways on
both sides. Responsibility for the road lies with LBB.
Claremont Avenue is proposed to provide a north-south connection between
Tilling Road and New Templehof Avenue to the north and Claremont Road to the
south. Within Parameter Plan 002 Transport Infrastructure it is allocated as a
primary route; it is shown under the Phase 1A (North) drawings to be a two way

1A(S) - ISSUE.DOCX
Page 6

30mph single carriageway road, with segregated cycle tracks and footways on
both sides.
Orchard Lane replaces the section of Claremont Road between the junction with
Claremont Avenue and Prayle Grove. It is classified within Parameter Plan 002
as a managed vehicular route, and is proposed to be a two-way single carriageway
road.
High Street South (east works) connects Claremont Avenue to New Templehof
Avenue in Phase 1A (North), being allocated as a public transport route in the
final stage within Parameter Plan 002. Within Phase 1A (North), it is shown as a
two way single carriageway road connecting to New Templehof Avenue.
Accident data analysis on the existing highway network has previously been
presented within PTR:P1, and as such no further analysis is presented here.
3.1.1
Pedestrian and Cycle provision
Within Phase 1A (North), alongside additional carriageway provision as outlined

above, segregated cycle tracks are to be provided along Claremont Avenue and
High Street South providing a dedicated cycle link to the north of the BXC site.
Wide footways are provided adjacent to the segregated cycleways. Shared areas
are provided adjacent to Toucan crossings, and pedestrian links to bus stops
provided across cycle tracks where required. Combinations of signage, finishes,
physical segregation and road markings are used to define pedestrian and cycle
priority as appropriate.
The Living Bridge is also proposed to replace the existing footbridge across the
A406, providing a shared pedestrian and cycle linkage to the north of the BXC
site. Proposals under Phase 1A (South) connect to the southern end of the Living
Bridge as well as into facilities on Claremont Avenue under Phase 1A (North).
3.2
Existing Public Transport Provision
Existing public transport provision within the vicinity of the site was presented in
detail within the PTR:P1 and RMTR:P1AN reports, and as such is not presented
in detail here. The key issues and provision are summarised by mode below.
3.2.1
Bus Services
A range of bus services are accessible via Brent Cross Bus station, with full
details presented in Section 3 of the PTR:P1 including origin-destination data and
passenger flow analysis; further information is presented in RMTR:P1AN. In
close proximity to the proposals for Phase 1A (South), routes 189,102 and C11
currently operate along Claremont Road, towards Brent Cross bus station to the
north, and Cricklewood or Golders Green to the south.
Under Phase 1, these same bus routes are to divert along Claremont Avenue
towards Brent Cross and the bus station via New Templehof Avenue. Buses are
not proposed to serve the northern section of Claremont Road. To facilitate this
change to bus routings, new bus stops are to be provided on High Street South and
1A(S) - ISSUE.DOCX
Page 7

New Templehof Avenue in addition to the existing stops on the southern section
of Claremont Road.
3.2.2
Coaches
No coach services currently serve BXS. Details of coach services are presented
within PTR:P1 and RMTR:P1AN as appropriate.
3.2.3
Rail
No changes have been implemented in respect of National Rail lines in the

vicinity of the site, and no changes are proposed under Phase 1A (North). The
information presented within BXC05 and PTR:P1 remains relevant, with access to
Cricklewood Railway Station to the southwest provided via Claremont Road and
the A407. Thameslink services from Cricklewood Railway Station are operated
by Govia Thameslink Railway, and run between Luton/St Albans via St Pancras.
Through services also serve Bedford to the north and Brighton and Gatwick to the
south.
Links from BXS are via the existing highway and public transport networks as
presented in PTR:P1, with bus services via Claremont Road as above. Pedestrian
and cycle access is also via Claremont Road.
3.2.4
London Underground
Within the vicinity of the wider BXC site, access to London Underground
services is available via Brent Cross, Hendon Central, Golders Green and
Willesden Green stations. These stations provide access to the Northern,
Metropolitan and Jubilee line services respectively. Further details of station
capacity and train loading was presented within PTR:P1 and remains relevant to
this application.
The proposals within BXS Phase 1A (South) do not provide additional
connectivity to these stations, and as such no further information can be provided
over and above that within RMTR:P1AN.

1A(S) - ISSUE.DOCX
Page 8

Proposed Development
The RMA for BXS Phase 1A (South) addresses two discrete sections of highway,
comprising the eastern section of Claremont Park Road (i.e. Claremont Park Road
(Part 1)) from the junction with Claremont Avenue, and the western section of
School Lane from the junction with Claremont Avenue to the current alignment of
Claremont Road. The extent of these sections in respect of the wider proposed
highway layout is shown in Figure 2.
Proposed highway layout drawings and associated swept path analysis are
provided in Appendix B. Where the works for BXS Phase 1A (South) are linked
to detailed layouts under the RMAs for BXC Phase 1A (North) these layouts have
also been incorporated, and are shown accordingly. It should be noted that no
changes to approved highways layouts for BXC Phase 1A (North) are proposed.
No plot development is included within the scope of this application, and as such
no review of person-trip generation or specific land use characteristics has been
undertaken; where appropriate, this is addressed in the wider PTR:P1 report.
4.1
Highway layout proposals
4.1.1
Claremont Park Road (Part 1)
The proposed section of Claremont Park Road (Part 1) extends from the junction
with Claremont Avenue/Claremont Road/Orchard Road to the west for ~160m
from the extent of the Phase 1A (North) highway works, and is shown in drawing
BXC-ARP-XX-DR-C-7001. It is proposed to be a 20mph two way single
carriageway road, of 4.8m width plus 1.5m advisory cycle lanes on either side. In
terms of TfLs Roads Taskforce matrices, it is intended to be a local street; within
Parameter Plan 002 it is shown as a secondary road, and has therefore been
designed for local traffic travelling at relatively low speeds. A turning head is
shown at the western end to provide temporary turning facilities ahead of
completion of Claremont Park Road (Part 2) in a later phase.
To the south, 2.5m footways are provided to the boundary of Claremont Park,
while to the north 4m footway is provided, both inclusive of landscaping. Cycle
lanes and pedestrian footways connect to the cycle provision shown under Phase
1A (North) at the junction with Claremont Avenue and are considered appropriate
for the type and volume of movements associated with residential plots and local
trips.
Raised tables are shown indicatively to align with the pedestrian routes from
Claremont Park. These are also intended to align with future junctions that will
provide access to residential plots immediately to the north (i.e. future plots 11, 12
and 13), however these do not form part of this application. Raised tables have
been chosen as speed reduction measures whilst also providing step-free access
for pedestrians across Claremont Park Road (Part 1). Following discussions with
LBB, the use of raised tables and other speed reduction measures to maintain a
20mph speed limit will be considered further at detailed design stage.

1A(S) - ISSUE.DOCX
Page 9

It is considered that providing good pedestrian and cycle linkages both across
Claremont Park Road (Part 1) and to and through the wider development is key to
promoting sustainable travel within BXS. The details of pedestrian crossing
arrangements will be determined at detailed design, and may need to take into
consideration the likely traffic levels associated with the completion of Claremont
Park Road (part 2). The crossing locations will also be a key consideration when
determining the locations of the minor accesses to plots 11, 12 and 13, to ensure
that pedestrian safety is not compromised by the new junction layouts.
The carriageway is restricted to 4.8m with the addition of advisory cycle lanes,
this is considered appropriate and in line with guidance in Manual for Streets as
sufficient width to allow commercial vehicles to pass cars. As the cycle lanes are
advisory, vehicles would be able to use the additional space allocated to cyclists to
pass one another if required. However it is not considered that this will occur
frequently, and as such is not considered a point of concern. Similar
arrangements operate successfully at various locations in London, in particular
Larkhall Lane in London Borough of Lambeth and Beech Street in City of
London.
Within the wider BXC development, the western end of Claremont Park Road
(i.e. Claremont Park Road (Part 2), which is outside of the scope of these
proposals) is expected to provide part of the future bus network. Claremont Park
Road itself is not proposed to form part of the bus network, however it is possible
that should buses need to be rerouted away from High Street South for any reason
then Claremont Park Road may operate as a diversionary route. The proposed
highway layout is considered to be suitable for this on an infrequent basis.
4.1.2
School Lane
Within the context of Phase 1A (South), School Lane provides a link from
Claremont Avenue at the junction with High Street South to Claremont Road.
School Lane is to provide general vehicle access in the interim Phase 1 state,
however it has been assessed within the wider BXC development as bus only, and
as such has been designed with this future capability. No bus services are
proposed to use School Lane in Phase 1, and as such no bus priority measures
have been considered at this stage.
The carriageway is therefore to be 6.4m wide in line with advice from TfL to
allow buses to pass, as shown on drawing BXC-ARP-00-XX-DR-C-7002. Bus
stops are shown indicatively on the proposed layout, however details of the
proposed end-state bus routing are to be determined, and as such these are to be
provided in line with TfL recommendations to serve later phases. Where School
Lane meets Claremont Road to the east, it is proposed to provide a priority
junction at Phase 1A (South) ahead of the determination of the alignment of
Whitefield Avenue between Marble Drive and Tilling Road.
Footways are provided on both sides of School Lane, with a segregated cycle
track provided between the carriageway and the southern footway. The northern
footway is proposed to be 4m wide including landscaping, while the southern
footway is to be 3m wide including landscaping. The cycle track is to be 3m wide
in line with guidance in TfLs London Cycle Design Standards (LCDS) and
1A(S) - ISSUE.DOCX
Page 10

facilities provided within Phase 1A (North), with a 0.5m strip between track and
carriageway. At the illustrative bus stop locations, a designated pedestrian
crossing provides a means of crossing the cycle track to the bus stop island, which
will be suitably sized.

1A(S) - ISSUE.DOCX
Page 11

Phased Transport Strategy
Given the limited scope of BXS Phase 1A (South), it is not considered to

contribute at this stage to significant elements of the Integrated Transport Strategy
(ITS) beyond that addressed under PTR:P1 and Phase 1A (North).
5.1
Transport modes
The provision of the first sections of School Lane and Claremont Park Road (Part
1) under BXS Phase 1A (South) do not contribute significantly to the highway
network in Phase 1, largely providing links to facilitate adjacent plot
development. As such, no significant public transport improvements result from
the implementation of Phase 1A (South), nor do any additional trips arise within
the network for which capacity would need to be provided beyond that presented
within PTR:P1.
Phase 1A (South) provides additional walking and cycling provision to connect to
and complement that promoted within Phase 1A (North). Pedestrian linkages are
provided:
from Claremont Park across Claremont Park Road to and from the High Street
and Market Square locally; and
toward the Living Bridge and the north of the site from School Lane and on a
wider scale.
Dedicated cycle facilities are provided on:
Claremont Park Road (Part 1); and
School Lane.
5.2
Management measures
As BXS Phase 1A (South) does not comprise any development plots, the
management measures currently required under Phase 1A have already been
addressed within PTR:P1 and RMTR:P1AN. It is therefore not considered that
there is a requirement for provision of or input to the following under Phase 1A
(South):
Framework Travel Plan or individual Travel Plans;
Transport Advisory Group/Transport Forum;
Construction Impact Assessment; and
Construction Logistics Plan and Construction Code of Practice.

Summary and Conclusions
Arup has been commissioned by Argent (Property Development)Services LLP to

provide transport and highways advice in support of an application for highways
infrastructure for Brent Cross South Phase 1A (South).
The proposals for Phase 1A (South) comprise two sections of highway designated
as the eastern end of Claremont Park Road from the junction with Claremont
Avenue (Claremont Park Road (Part 1)), and the western end of School Lane from
the junction with Claremont Avenue to Claremont Road. Both of these roads tie
into highways infrastructure addressed under BXC Phase 1A (North), and as such
the proposals here are intended to complement those of Phase 1A (North). No
plot development is to be brought forward under Phase 1A (South), and as such
no assessment of trips has been undertaken.
Claremont Park Road (Part 1) is to be a 4.8m wide road with additional 1.5m wide
advisory cycle lanes on both sides, plus 2.5m footway to the south and 4m to the
north inclusive of landscaping. Claremont Park Road is allocated as a secondary
road in Parameter Plan 002 of the Section 73 application, and falls under the
Roads Taskforce classifications as a local street.
The proposed carriageway width, provision of cycle lanes, and illustrative
provision of raised tables at access junctions to facilitate good north-south
pedestrian linkages between Claremont Park and development immediately to the
north of Claremont Park Road are all consistent with low traffic speeds and are
intended to promote travel by more sustainable modes for a range of trip purposes.
Consideration has been taken of the possible use of Claremont Park Road as a
diversionary bus route in the end state, and as such it is considered that the design
of the road is sufficient to allow this without promoting high speeds and high
traffic volumes in everyday use.
School Lane is shown on Parameter Plan 002 as a minor road, and proposed
within Phase 1 to be accessible by a range of private vehicles, with future and
end-state modelling allocating this as a bus only link. As such, the carriageway is
proposed to be 6.4m wide to accommodate two buses passing. Bus stops are
shown indicatively. To the east, School Lane connects to the existing Claremont
Road via a priority junction.
Cycle provision on School Lane is to be by segregated cycle tracks on the
southern side to align with that provided along Claremont Avenue and the wider
Phase 1A (North) highway network. Pedestrian footways are provided adjacent to
the cycleway to the south and to the carriageway along the northern edge of
School Lane, at a minimum width of 3m including landscaping.
Overall, the proposals for BXS Phase 1A (South) are in line with the wider
constraints and design guidance under the BXC scheme and the more local
constraints arising from the proposals of Phase 1A (North). As no plot
development is proposed under Phase 1A (South), it is considered that, with the
exception of the Pedestrian and Cycle Strategy submitted alongside this RMTR,
there is no additional requirement for strategy documents relating to travel
planning and construction management.
