Purpose

This purpose of this proposal is to extend the
length of the restricted road status due to the presence of a
system of street lighting and revoke part of an existing Speed
Limit Order.

The purpose of the extended 30mph speed limit is to improve the
safety for all highway users and increase the sustainability for
the development. The subsequent reduction in length of the 40mph
section would provide protection and more time for vehicles to
navigate the new junction.

These proposals are being funded by the developer of the site under
Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980
