Traffic Model: implications of the SE Regeneration Proposals

There has been much correspondence in the media (including Facebook) since the decision to go to Compulsory Purchase of the required land (i.e. the Recreation Ground). One aspect has been the influence on traffic flows.  

This is an extract from the traffic flow report of last year. The wider impact on Holdingham is not included, and cannot be gauged, as this refers to the area near the Rec, the Grantham Road, Mareham Lane and the present Railway crossing. However there will be an impact as the Lincoln Road and Holdingham Roundabout can get gridlocked. Here are the Conclusions of the Traffic assessment of last year. I am not sure if the Handley Chase impact is fully included in this traffic assessment. 

"5.2 Conclusion
This report has found that the proposals to construct the SESRR alongside the
closure of the Southgate level crossing and the development of a new Tesco
superstore and the Bass Maltings site will bring a range of impacts to Sleaford town
centre.

While journey distances and times for traffic within the town centre will
increase significantly and one junction will be negatively affected to a significant
extent, in many cases the operation of individual junctions will improve and others
will not worsen to the extent that they operate above their capacity.

Furthermore, the reliability of journeys within the town is likely to improve through a proposal which essentially replaces a level crossing with a railway bridge, thus stopping the railway
line from frequently interrupting traffic flows"
