| Q. With the number of houses being proposed along Bidwell Lane, will any consideration be given to the upgrading of the road. At the moment it is very narrow and there are no footways. Who would pay for this? A. The Duchy would not consider upgrading the road other than what was required by the Highways Authority as part of any application. It is a country lane at the moment and changing it from a lane to a wider road would change the character of the Village. The road near the barns is wider anyway and shouldn't be a problem. It could accommodate a footway outside the proposed development if required. Consideration could be given to passing places further down the road but as other comments have pointed out, improving the road would encourage greater use of it. |
