Good morning, Following a review of information previously submitted for, but not seen by Roads, report RPT-TC-001 Rev A, I confirm the applicant presented within report vehicle speed survey data obtained over an 8 day sample period between 1 July 2021 and 8 July 2021. From the information provided, it is observed that Feuins Road adjoining the applicant’s development site, whilst defined as a 60mph speed limit, recorded an average speed between 30-31mph during this 8 day sample period. In light of a review of the information provided, Roads would be willing to consider a reduction in the visibility splay requirements. From the proposed from 136 x 2.4 x 1.05 metres for a 60mph, in perpetuity in both directions, to 53m x 2.4 x 1.05 metres for a 35mph, in perpetuity in both directions should the applicant be able to provide a more recent sample with the same findings. Furthermore, the applicant sample must be obtained at, or near to the proposed point of access to the proposed development. I trust this is of assistance. Many thanks, Raymond Kane Raymond Kane BEng(Hons) MIHE Traffic & Development Officer Roads & Infrastructure Services Argyll And Bute Council Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre 38 East Clyde Street Helensburgh G84 7PG
