Purpose:

To consider 29 submissions, including 3 objections and 20 representations, requesting changes to the proposal for a change of speed limit and the introduction of a TOUCAN crossing on the A4 in Studley near Calne (see Appendix 2).

Decision:

I approvethat the proposals be implemented as advertised.

 

This decision was published on 12 November and will come into force on 20 November 2018.

 

Reasons for the decision:

The introduction of a TOUCAN crossing will improve pedestrian access across the A4, not only connecting the new development to the settlement of Derry Hill but also assisting pedestrian movements associated with the existing community, including access to leisure activities. The reduction of the speed limit will facilitate the introduction of the crossing.
