ACTIVE TRAVEL
As set out under 'The Site' page, there are a range of local facilities available within walking or cycling distance to the site. In addition, there are bus services in close proximity which provides bi-hourly services between Langport and Bridgwater.
ACCESS
Two accesses are proposed for the two sites shown in orange in the image to the right. The northern site is proposed to be accessed from New Road to the west of the site and the southern site is access from Load Pool on the northern portion of the site. An additional pedestrian access is shown from Peppard Close however this will not allow vehicular access.
A Road Safety Audit will be undertaken of the proposed accesses to identify that the accesses is safe, with suitable visibility in either direction. It is also considered that the road network is capable of serving an additional 50 homes in this location, without causing adverse effects on the existing road network.
Technical plans showing the proposed accesses are shown below
