and that further clarification/evidence should be provided by the
applicant on local infrastructure projects.
1.4.3 NYCC Highways
The applications were supported by a Transport Assessment (TA)
which assessed the impact of the proposals on the key junctions in and
around Sherburn in Elmet for 498 and 598 dwellings. The local
Highway Authority (LHA) also requested additional work to be
undertaken in relation to the modelling of the Low Street/Kirkgate/Moor
Lane/Finkle Hill signal controlled junction, in order that a model could
be created which accurately reflected the impact of the development on
this key junction. It is now considered that the modelling submitted
reflects the existing conditions and the assumptions made for the
impact of the development are acceptable. It is the view of the LHA that
the development traffic can be satisfactorily accommodated on the
surrounding highway network. Recommended conditions in
relation to the application are attached.
With regard to the application for 498 dwellings (2012/0400/EIA)
certain highway works should be secured through a Section 106
Agreement. The applicant proposes to extend the existing footway/
cycleway on the western side of Low Street up to Low Garth Link. In
order to facilitate pedestrian/cyclist movement from the site across Low
Street to the proposed facility a Toucan crossing is considered
appropriate. The applicant has agreed to provide a contribution
towards the cost of the LHA providing the crossing. It has been agreed
that the Toucan crossing should be provided after the occupation of the
50th dwelling.
The existing 30mph speed limit is to be extended southwards beyond
the extent of the development site. The applicant has agreed to
provide a ‘gateway entrance feature’ to enhance the new 30mph limit
and further reduce traffic speeds. The applicant will contribute towards
the costs associated with the amendments to the existing Traffic
Regulation Order. The speed limit should be extended prior to the
occupation of the first dwelling.
In order to provide a desirable pedestrian/cycle route between the
development site, the railway station and employment zone the
applicant has agreed to provide a pedestrian/cycle link between the site
and the recently constructed Moor Lane development. The
pedestrian/cycle link will need to be surfaced and lit to adoptable
standards.
With regard to the relocation of bus stops on Low Street a contribution
is required towards the shelters and DDA compliant kerbing.
The potential for rat running through the adjacent residential streets to
avoid the Low Street/Kirkgate/Moor Lane signals has been considered.
