Report by Interim Deputy Director for Environment & Economy - Commercial (CMDE9).

Further development around the Kingston Business Park, including a new housing development and revised access arrangements for the adjacent sports ground will result in increased use of the access road. This report presents responses received in the course of a statutory consultation on a proposal by the developers to introduce a 30mph speed limit on the full length of public access road to the Park.

The Cabinet Member for the Environment is RECOMMENDED to approveimplementation of the proposals as advertised and described in the report.

Approved

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered a report (CMDE9) which presented responses received in the course of a statutory consultation on a proposal by developers for a 30mph speed limit on the access road to the Kingston Business Park following further development which had included a new housing development and revised access arrangements for the adjacent sports ground. 

Presenting the report Mr Tole addressed particularly the objection submitted by Thames Valley Police and felt that to some degree that had been lodged because they were not fully aware of the changes that were to be made in that area insofar as though would remain a cul-de-sac there would be increased activity. He accepted that it would not be high priority for enforcement. 

Acknowledging the explanation by officers with regard to the objection by the Police and having further regard to the arguments and options set out in the report and the representations made to him the Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed his decision as follows:

to approveimplementation of the proposals as advertised and described in the report CMDE9.

Signed……………………………………….

Cabinet Member for Environment
