Scores are a rough estimate with the Site covering a large area that experiences better accessbility towards the south and east. Access is likely from a number of roads including the B560, West End Rd and Box End Road. A more detailed investigation is required here including the potential infrastructure construction and improvements that could occur from such a large development site. Capacity and junction assessments should be conducted based on the proposed development scale and the fact that congestion is evident around settlements bordering the A6 such as Bridge End and junctions including Cemetery Road/A6. A significant masterplanning and impact assessment is required for this site. Currently a number of accesses are achievable but more work is required to understand which are likely to operate in the future and how the proposed pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure would serve its purpose.
