The existing shared surface road at the end of Blacksmith Way is appropriate to serve a maximum of 25 dwellings. Presently 14 dwellings are accessed via the shared surface road, providing scope for a further 11 dwellings rather than the 12 described in Policy VC THU1. The proposed allocation area does not extend to the end of the road at Blacksmith's Gardens and requires revision to ensure the site could be accessed as per paragraph 40.9. The development must be laid out in such a way to prevent vehicles from accessing the existing public footpath Thurlton FP3.
The Highway Authority would request: Paragraph 40.9 is revised to allocate 11 dwellings. A policy requirement to prevent vehicles from VC THU1 accessing existing public right of way Thurlton FP3. The Thurlton & Norton Subcourse policy map is updated such that proposed allocation VC THU1 extends to meet the end of the Blacksmith's Gardens carriageway to ensure the site could be accessed as per paragraph 40.9.
