Decision details

Construction of new residential development access requires the extension to the existing 30mph limit in accordance with OCC’s S106 agreement, to improve highway’s safety.

The Chair invited public speakers to address the meeting and responded to their points in turn.

The Chair provided a timeline of events surrounding the planning stage of the proposal for the development of land as set out in paragraph 2.

The Chair stated that the purpose of increasing safety remains and that the planning officer believes the obligation serves that purpose. The Chair stated that to reject this recommendation would be to overrule the decision from the planning permission conditions, which was tested twice.

The Chair noted the relatively small nature of the proposed intervention.

The Chair thanked public speakers for their contributions and thanked officers for their work.

The Chair agreed to the recommendation.

RESOLVED to:

a)    Approve the extension to the existing 30mph speed limit on the A4155 Reading Road at Shiplake, as advertised.
