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
