Decision details

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).

I approvethat the proposals be implemented as advertised.

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

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.

To:

(i)            Implement the proposals as advertised.

(ii)          Not implement the proposals.

(iii)       Implement the proposals with amendments.

Consultations have been undertaken with the Fire Service, Police and Ambulance Service and also with the relevant bus companies, the Town Council and the Local Member.  Advertisements have been posted in the local press and notices were posted in prominent positions at the site (see Appendix 1).
