10. Planning (20 mins) Cllr Kemp

To note. After the two drop-in sessions for residents to view and comment on the proposed cycle route from Chapel Hill to Foxton Railway Station the following comments were submitted in response to 21/04524/S73 Variations of conditions for Redrow with respect to the proposed Cycle Route

Cycle Route. Feedback from the Drop-In sessions regarding the cycle route was generally supportive of the actual route and interested in the details.

One idea raised that part of the cycle way could go down Malthouse Way where there is existing lighting.

However, the Parish Council understands that separating cyclists from traffic is likely the paramount concern and this deflection of the route could bring cyclists and traffic in conflict.

BPC therefore supports the proposed route – subject to further discussion and clarification of the final details – as indicated below:

Specific points include:

Safety. The Barriers need to prevent motorcycles. The single bollard guarding the entrance from Glebe Road did not appear sufficient to prevent motor cycles from using the stretch beside the wood and Heslerton Way (and beyond) as a racetrack or “playground” for young bikers.

Stricter measures are needed at both ends of this stretch.

However, the obstructions need to be removable to allow access to the track for machinery such as tree pruning equipment, and perhaps snow clearing equipment in the winter.

Signage at the Glebe Road crossing.  The placement of some signs and their size may cause driveway visibility problems. Are these sited on the correct side of the road for the traffic direction?  Lighting at this point needs improvement – the whole area is very poorly lit.

Crossings – at the Foxton end of the route there would still be difficulties crossing the A10 to get to the station and accessibility to the current A10 cycle paths.

Could there be provision of cycle racks on the “safe” side of the A10 not the station side. Crossing the A10 to the station would then be as pedestrians not cyclists.

Separation. Are walkers allowed / enabled to use the route? If so how is the safety of both pedestrians and cyclists to be addressed?

Amenity. Lighting – was discussed at great length and the devil is in the detail. A balance is required between safety and not being intrusive for residents – particularly behind Bendyshe Way and Malthouse Way. Low level lighting being preferred in the main.

 Conservation There are badgers active along the route behind Malthouse Way, not just at the points indicated on the drawings – were these included in the survey and have these been assessed?

Maintenance. The route itself, lighting and signage will all need maintenance – is this budgeted for by the Highways Authority?
