Purpose

The purpose of this proposal is
to introduce a 40mph speed limit that is required for the general
road safety for all highway users to facilitate development works.
The subsequent reduction in length of the 50mph speed limit would
be required to reduce the speed of vehicles approaching and
navigating the new junction as well as providing additional
protection for all road users and pedestrians.
These proposals are being funded by the developer of the site
through a Section 278 Agreement.

Consultations
Formal consultation was carried out between 19 November-2024 and 17
December-2024 which included advertising in the local press and
notices being displayed on site. Divisional county councillors were
consulted along with the council's usual consultees and the
consultation documents posted on the council's website.
Following formal consultation No Objections were
received.
