| Proposal: |
Extension to existing warehouse to provide additional storage, loading and unloading facilities. |
| Location: |
Mornflake, THIRD AVENUE, CREWE |
The committee welcomed the proposal and continued investment in the town
| Application No: |
23/4105N |
| Proposal: |
The creation of a cycleway and footway, through the Mill Street area of Crewe, along with public realm improvements and two pocket park areas with associated amenity planting and architectural lighting. The scheme would deliver a clear segregated, non-motorised route, creating a new active travel link into Crewe town centre from the south. |
| Location: |
Pedley Street, Railway Street, Wesley Place, and Mill Street. CREWE |
The committee made the following observations:
i. That lighting plans should be sustainable and serviceable (noting that “architectural lighting” has previously been installed elsewhere and the maintenance and repair of such lighting has been poor due to the specialist nature of its design).
ii. Signage to clarify highway user responsibilities is provided (for example, cyclists to dismount when the designated cycleway ends)
iii. The northern end of the cycle way ceases at a point of high traffic volume and all safety concerns and issues should be considered for the anticipated usages and flow through to the town centre
iv. That residents’ comments are considered and improvements made where practicable |
