Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy – Commercial & Delivery (CMDE5).

The report presents objections and other comments received in response to a statutory consultation on a proposed new zebra crossing on the A415, Kingston Bagpuize. The proposal arises from the residential development on land adjacent to the A415, Witney Road, Kingston Bagpuize, comprising of 63 dwellings and a 45 unit extra care facility.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to not proceed with the implementation of the proposed Zebra crossing as advertised.

Deferred for further consideration

The Cabinet Member for Environment had before him a report (CMDE5) setting out objections and other comments received in response to a statutory consultation on a proposed new zebra crossing on the A415, Kingston Bagpuize.

Mr Tole confirmed that since publication of the report David Wilson Homes had agreed to make a £20,000 payment to fund either a zebra crossing or as a contribution to a puffin crossing.  The report had also recognised a case to reconsider provision and alternative locations in the light of possible further development in the village.

The Cabinet Member agreed that the desirability of providing a crossing but remained to be convinced that this was the best site for it.  Therefore in the light of the agreement with David Wilson Homes and having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before him, the representations made to him and the further considerations set out above he confirmed his decision as follows:

to defer a decision on provision of a crossing on the A415, Kingston Bagpuize as originally advertised pending further consideration of alternative sites.
