Q5: Transport survey – The Orchard special meeting questions

This is one of ten questions posed to Lidl about their proposal to build a new supermarket on the site of The Orchard at our special public meeting on 17 March 2025.

The transport assessment in your application indicates that turning counts were conducted on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th May 2024 respectively at the stated junctions. 

  1. What was the criteria for choosing those dates, and how were the times of day chosen for the study?
  2. Were the length of traffic queues in Church Avenue, Ickenham Road, Kingsend and Wood Lane towards the White Bear roundabout included in the analysis, as well as the queues lengths along Long Lane from the A40 towards Ickenham? 
  3. Have peak traffic flows on different times of day and different days of the week been investigated to fully understand when peak congestion tends to take place –  and if so, for how long, in order to consider how to avoid deliveries taking place at those critical times etc?
