The shock of
the new
The road is
proposed to be single carriageway, 10-15m wide, designed to Design Manual for
Roads and Bridges (DMRB) standards for 40mph roads. The development includes a
3m wide shared cycleway/pedestrian path on the western side of the new road and
a crossing for pedestrians and cyclists where the new road meets the existing
Public Right of Way*
Construction
is due to commence in 2018 with an approximate 8-month construction period. The
new road is proposed to be open in 2019.
[Yay!]
Lots of
lights:
A total of 19
new LED lighting columns are proposed for the new roundabout junction at the
northern end of the road, with amendments to the existing lighting columns
along the A355 Amersham Road in proximity to the new roundabout. *
Lots of
noise:
During the operational
phase of the development there would be significant residual effects on
landscape and visual receptors, i.e. users of the Public Rights of Way and
residual noise effects on properties on Maxwell Road and A40/Burnham Avenue. *
