This committee requests the Chief Executive to revisit the layout of the lanes going west to east the L1030 junction. To examine how changes from the original SDZ16A/005 regarding the removal of the culdesac in the development would benefit the area and road users. Both the movement of the traffic along L1030 and access from L1030 to Newcastle Road needs to be further examined. The change removing the culdesac was not highlighted with local cllrs at the time of proposals from SDCC management, albeit it was noted in a report in the extensive large planning file. Considering there is a huge volume of developments current and future within the Adamstown SDZ and many granted applications submit a follow up amended application altering a number of aspects of the original plans, there needs to be an improved way of bringing these changes to the attention of local cllrs. The members ask that Chief Executive considers this proposal.
