Morrison's Weybridge Supermarket - Traffic Impact Concern
|
News Release From Weybridge Society
|
|
|
| WEYBRIDGE SOCIETY PRESSES SURREY FOR NEW
EVALUATION |
|
The Weybridge Society has written to Christian
Mahne, the newly elected County Councillor for Weybridge
asking him to bring pressure on Surrey Highways to carry out
a full evaluation on the traffic impact of the proposed new
food store.
Surrey recommended that the previous
Morrisons’ application was refused because of inadequate
parking provision which could have led to queuing on
Monument Hill. However, it did not comment on the effect of
additional traffic on the road network. Because of that
failure, the Society considers that Surrey’s traffic
assessment, which was based on “flawed” traffic modelling
from Morrisons, underestimated the impact.
The
Society considers that traffic impact will be a crucial
issue in deciding whether the development is approved. As
the Highways Authority, Surrey’s advice will be the key.
The letter from Dave Arnold, the Society’s chairman,
says that based on Morrisons’ own figures, the new store
would increase traffic volumes on the Weybridge road network
by about 15% at peak times. This would swamp a road network
in which key junctions are currently operating at near or
beyond design capacity.
Morrisons claims that the
proposed store will not introduce any additional congestion
in Weybridge. The Society’s letter challenges this
commenting that Morrisons’ view “appears to fly in the face
of the knowledge and experience of local road users”. The
letter asks why all critical junctions in Weybridge have not
been modelled by Morrisons particularly the junction at St.
James Church which regularly operates at over capacity.
The letter also raises concerns about the short lead
into the car park from Monument Hill Customer parking
provision is the same as before and the Society believes
this is inadequate. The combination of a short lead-in and
inadequate car parking risks causing vehicle back up and
gridlock on Monument Hill and in the High Street both of
which form part of the A317 trunk route used extensively by
the emergency services.
The letter points out that
the majority of objections to Morrisons’ previous
application was on traffic issues. It says that the Society
is willing to meet with Surrey representatives to further
explain concerns about the proposed development and answer
questions.
The Society has made it clear that it
recognises that the former Focus site needs to be developed
and the benefits of Morrisons bringing its unique brand of
food store to Weybridge. However, it has concerns about size
(only 7% less than the previous proposal), traffic issues,
parking and impact on local shops. It has urged Society
members and residents to comment on the proposal to avoid
Weybridge sleepwalking into a development which will have a
major impact.
The planning application is expected to
be considered by Elmbridge West Area Planning Sub Committee
in June or July
The official deadline to
comment on the plans is Friday, 17th May 2013.

Morrison's Weybridge Supermarket - Latest Plans
|
Drop In Session On
Thursday 21 March 2013 - For Public Feedback
|
|
|
| Consultation on Morrisons revised plans for a large
supermarket store in Weybridge. |
|
Many households in Weybridge will have
received a leaflet from Morrisons advising of a their
revised plans for a supermarket in Weybridge. The plans have
not gone for planning permission yet because Morrisons would
initially like to get public feedback at a drop-in session
this coming Thursday. The details are:
Thursday 21 March, 1.30pm – 9pm
The Parish Centre, St James Church,
Weybridge,
Surrey, KT13 8DN
Parking in
Churchfields car park.
The Weybridge Society
encourages everyone to go and look at the plans and judge
for themselves if Morrisons have really addressed the very
major concerns that over 700 local residents had to the
initial plans, which were turned down by Elmbridge BC. |
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
Please give FEEDBACK to Weybridge
Society as well
As well as giving feedback
to Morrisons, the Weybridge Society would also like to hear
from local residents about their thoughts on the new plans
so it can incorporate this into the Society's response.
Please do this by emailing
morrisons@weybridgesociety.org.uk or else filling
in the Contact form on our website. |
|
| |
|
Remember the major objections previously
were:
- The overall size and scale of the development
- The external design of the building in relation to the
nearby conservation area
- The lack of parking
particularly for staff
- Traffic congestion with a new
roundabout plus the loss of a protected tree
- Potential
job losses due to closures of other local businesses |

Weybridge Society Recommends Against Public Speaking At Meeting
|
|
|
| Meeting on Morrison's planning application -
15th October 2012 |
| The Morrisons planning application is recommended by the
planning officer for refusal. |
| Having discussed the subject of pubic speaking with a
number of objectors the Weybridge Society has come to the
conclusion that it would not be an advantage to request
pubic speaking as only one person can speak and then it
provides the developer the opportunity to reply. |
| The Society will be writing a late letter to support the
planning officer recommendation and adding some additional
requests to the Councillors. |
| We would like to remind you to attend the West Area sub
committee meeting on 15 October and suggest that you may
wish to write a late letter. You have up to noon on the day
of the meeting to do this. |

Morrison's Weybridge Supermarket Consultation
|
Deadline For Feedback To
Morrisons Is
Midnight on 24 May 2012.
|
|
|
Consultation on Morrisons plans for a large
supermarket store in Weybridge.
|
|
A public exhibition of plans was held by
Morrisons at Weybridge Hall on 10, 11 and 12 May to provide
more information on their draft proposals and seek people's
feedback.
If you were unable to attend
you can view the exhibition boards in PDF format by
clicking
here. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| The substantial food store, café and car
park would be on the old Focus/Do It All site on Monument
Hill. |
|
| Morrisons have also set up a website with the outline
plans and an online feedback form, so if you cannot get to
the exhibition do go online. |
|
| On the website front page go to the bottom right hand
side and click on
Exhibition information to see the plans.
At the top RHS you can access the
Your Feedback form.

24 May. |

Morrisons say they are keen to have
the views of the general public, local businesses and
community representatives.
The positive aspects
of the plan Morrisons will be eager to project are:
- An
investment of £3.5m.
- Creation of 300 jobs
- It will
generate new business for High Street shops
The area to be occupied will be larger than just the old
Focus site.
The plans involve much more than just a redevelopment of
the existing site. They involve a number of other buildings
along Monument Hill being demolished and the creation of a
roundabout on the road.
Probable Public
Enquiry
If the application makes headway, there
will almost certainly be a public enquiry. |
