Decision details

Scheme is being proposed in conjunction with planning permission reference: P17/V1082/O This is required in order to improve safety for vehicles and cyclists using mini roundabout and maintain safety for pedestrians’ crossing the carriageway in the close vicinity of the mini roundabout.

The Chair introduced the item to the meeting.

The Chair raised concerns arising from paragraph 13 of the report, relating to the scheme’s approval at planning not improving cyclist provision.

Officers confirmed that they would look at this specific issue. The Director of Highways and Operations confirmed that a written report about the process surrounding planning developments would be undertaken and this feedback would be part of this process.

The Chair noted that the County Council, as the Highways Authority, adopts policies that are not always considered during the planning process, which is a cause for concern.

The Chair agreed to the recommendation in the report.

RESOLVED to:

a)    Approve the construction of a new ‘Flat Top Road Hump’ at the existing mini roundabout junction of the A417 Station Road & B4019 Coxwell Road in Faringdon as advertised.
