Report by Corporate Director Environment & Place (CMDHM  6).

To approve a proposed pedestrian and pedal cycle provision as part of approved retail development.

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management AGREED to approve a toucan crossing on the B4017 Wootton Road at Abingdon as advertised.

The report presented responses to a statutory consultation on the proposed installation of a toucan crossing on the B4017 Wootton Road at Abingdon. The provision of this crossing was a planning condition in respect of the approved development of adjacent land for a food retail business.

The Chair invited Cllr Nathan Ley to address the meeting. The importance of adequate maintenance of the cycle provision was raised and the new vehicle access to the store and the junction layout was queried.

In response, Officers confirmed that it was safe, and access would be installed in line with the planning approved layout. The impact of overgrowth was reviewed during the planning process, and it was determined that the hedgerow was to be retained.
