We support the proposal to carry forward existing safeguarding measures as set out in the Core Strategy.
Specifically, we endorse the safeguarding at the A46/Bishopton roundabout, which is a long standing commitment and remains a key part of the strategic road network which the Councils and National Highways are seeking to improve.
Co-locating new development with safeguarded land/strategic network improvements has significant advantages. New development can assist in assimilating infrastructure upgrades in to the receiving landscape, by designing in buffers and landscape strategies avoiding the landscape and visual effects of hard engineered proposals. Furthermore, co-locating new development with network upgrades allows for a proportion of the upgrade costs to be borne by new development, which is fiscally prudent and in the public interest.
