Access will be provided via Wymington Lane, here there are currently two vehicle access points available. Wymington Lane is a single carriageway with footpaths on both sides of the road by the site's western access and no cycle path in the vicinity. Wymington Lane normally carries light traffic but some congestion occurs in the morning peak on most days and in the evening peak on some days of the week, which this development would contribute to. The footpath opposite the site's western access is wide and appears newly surfaced, whilst the footpath on the same side of the road is wide but needs resurfacing. The closest bus stop is 150m away serving buses 25 and 50, at less than an hour frequency. Bus 50 seems to be not currently in service. A Transport Assessment is required given the scale of the development proposed. This should identify any required mitigations on surrounding transport networks. Improve the pavement on the north side of Wymington Lane. Cycle connection improvements would be recommended, either via shared path or on-street markings.
