Highways & Transportation Comment -
Impact on the A127 and B186 requires full traffic assessment. Main access for this site to be J29. The secondary bus access onto B186 Warley Street will require significant highway improvement.
Its location provides primarily car based connections to service centres, and potential sources of employees.
Consideration should also be given to other modes of sustainable transport facilities. It should be noted that the B186 is not conducive to cycling and walking. Significant upgrade of the facilities for pedestrians and cyclists is required.
There is still limited evidence regarding any potential connectivity of the proposed development via sustainable transport measures.
This location is not favourable for sustainable modes of transport to be used to access the site apart from buses which have been briefly mentioned. BBC must ensure that any development in this area has a site wide Travel Plan written and implemented.
There is major employment development planned adjacent to junction 29 of the M25, whilst the outline narrative does indicate that there is potential for bus links to be created, there is no further commitment to what this might look like and how it will be provided.
