Access

Access arrangements
rethought

Our new neighbourhood will have vehicle access from the south-west corner of the site only. This is to prevent ‘rat running’ through to Tilehurst.

We carefully considered how to prevent impact on the existing residential areas whilst ensuring that people living in our development will have excellent connections to the A4, M4, bus and railway networks.

We have provided an access point for emergency vehicles only. This is to the north of the site. It is standard practice for developments of this type.

There will be great pedestrian and cycle connections creating a network of footpaths through the area, linking with the existing Public Rights of Way.

The Public Right of Way follows a mature hedgerow’s line from SW to NE across the area proposed for residential development and then across the proposed community parkland. The proposed internal main loop road would cross the Public Right of Way in two places. These will be sensitively designed to give pedestrians and cyclists right of way at these crossing points.
