Planning record

Cited in: 5. Walking routes and stations

Why this is cited. SDC assessed the route here. Limb (iii) of GB7(1)(g) was decided on a lit footpath and cycleway of under 1 kilometre into the town centre: the kind of route evidence inspectors use, though without the Connectivity Tool that TR3(2) says should be used alongside it.

Key points

Site: "The development site is located just outside of Stratfords BUAB" (p.9).
Route: Warwick Road "is served by a well-lit and maintained footpath and cycleway into the centre of Stratford, under 1 kilometre away" (p.9).
Result: "future occupiers would not be reliant on private motor vehicle to access services and facilities" (p.9).
The report also relied on the existing residential use of the site.
