The junction of New Road with Wymondham Road and the Street requires improvement to visibility to enable development traffic to be safely accommodated. This would need to be conditioned as off-site highway works and be delivered by the development. A proportional contribution to the required improvement would not be acceptable to the Highway Authority. The off-site highway works should also include improvement to the nearest bus stops to the site, along with access to them. The stops are located at The Street.
The Highway Authority would request that Policy VC ASH1 is revised to remove reference to proportionate contribution to an upgrade of the existing New Road / The Street junction. The policy should be amended to require off-site highway works as follows: A) Improve visibility from New Road to Wymondham Road and The Street. B) Improve the nearest bus stops to the site, along with access to them. The stops are located at The Street.
