Highways and Transport

We have carefully considered the existing site, peak hour traffic volumes using the A22 and likely vehicle movements relating to our proposals. Our proposed vehicular access strategy involves primary access via the A22.

Signal-controlled junction on the A22

​

  • New signal controlled all-movement junction around 130m north of the existing junction with Bay Tree Lane.

  • Bay Tree Lane will be stopped up north of Baytree House in its junction with the A22 (southbound).

  • Bay Tree Lane to be re-routed into the site to join A22 via the new junction.

Improvements - pedestrians and cycling.

​

  • We will seek to provide a continuous footway along the north side of Bay Tree Lane to the ramped bridge which crosses the A27.

  • We will ensure that a useable footway from Polegate and Polegate Railway Station to the site is available, to be facilitated by improvements to street lighting.

  • The site will also provide connections to the nearby Cuckoo Trail which features a foot/cycle bridge over the A27 to Polegate.

Highways Benefits

  • Closure of existing sub-standard Bay Tree Lane junction, which will have safety benefits given proximity to Cophall Roundabout.

  • All movements access connections to the A22 for existing users of Bay Tree Lane.

  • Proposed introduction of 50 mph speed limit.
