New Planning Application for Ashlawn Fields
David Wilson Homes, a subsidiary of Barratt Homes plc, have put in a revised planning application for the land off Ashlawn Road.
The new plans can be seen at the town hall or by using Rugby Borough Council's planning portal - use planning application number R13/2102. Comments on the plans should be sent to Richard.holt@rugby.gov.uk . The official deadline for responding is 30 October 2015.
The new plans mainly concern changes to the road network and the amount of public open space in the proposed development.
If the plans go ahead the developers propose these changes to the road system:
- A forty mile per hour speed limit on Ashlawn Road
- Pedestrian crossings across two of the roads feeding into the Cock Robin roundabout
- Traffic Lights at the Barby Road/Ashlawn Road junction
- Traffic Lights at the Ashlawn Road/Hillmorton Road junction [I thought this junction was to have traffic lights as a result of the Rugby Radio Station development - Ed]
- A "bus link" from Norton Leys into the development - there are no details as to how this is to be achieved
- Two entrances from Ashlawn Road - a straightforward junction and a roundabout (this was part of the original scheme)
The developers have withdrawn their proposal to create a mini-gyratory system in the centre of Dunchurch.
The developers are now proposing to reduce the amount of public open space in the development.
Ward councillors Bill Lewis and Marion Nash have made their individual decisions clear - they are opposed to the scheme.
