I support this proposal and Royston is in need of new houses. This site in particular has good access routes and is of animal impact to the locals living nearby.

Object to RY10: Access

Full text:

We wish to object to the justification to alter the road layout at the junction of newmarket road with its junction with the a505 at the eastern side of royston. Is it intended to impose a weight limit on vehicles entering the town from this junction, and will two way traffic be able to gain access? Where exactly is it proposed to build to the south of newmarket road? And from which access point? Where will the access be sited to accomodate the proposed new developement to the north of Newmarket road? Is it anticipated that the occupants of these new developements will choose to shop in royston? if so there fitness levels will surely be tested as taking a car into town will be difficult due to a lack of affordable parking spaces! we do trust that you may review the current practise of some shoppers in the town parking in any side roads that do not have some form of restriction operating. This making life in these affected roads especially difficult, and in one in particular a cul de sac with no hammerhead or turning point.

Objection to RY10:
- traffic flow on and off the site and the surounding area.
- access needs to be direct from the A505 not Newmarket Road (same as RY2) - there is sufficient land to do this

Full text:

Royston Town Council objects to the development of this site with the boundaries as shown because it has concerns over traffic flows and safety, the proposal only allows for vehicle access off Newmarket Road which will be dangerous and cause considerable congestion.
The Newmarket Road /A505 junction is dangerous and there have been many traffic accidents here already.
There is no access on to Newmarket Road from the westward direction of the A505 therefore, all traffic would have to go through the town causing further congestion at the A10 /Melbourn St roundabout.

In RY2 land north of Newmarket Road it states a new access is created directly from the A505 and not Newmarket Road, it should be the same for this development. There is sufficent adjacent land which could provide access from the A505.

Representation Summary:

Object RY10:
-to site development with the boundaries as shown.
-concerns over traffic flows-only one access proposed off Newmarket Road.
-Newmarket Road/A505 junction is dangerous.Currently no access from A505 into Royston at this junction from westward direction and therefore all traffic to site RY10, from this direction,would have to come through the town and cause congestion.
-RY2(now has outline planning permission) highlighted,in its required safety audit,pressures on the existing bypass and the requirement for highway improvements to accommodate development.This application was not approved with access off Newmarket Road and the applicant/developer was advised that access must be off the A505.
