We note that the provision of a new Wet Dock crossing would facilitate access and provide for through traffic, allowing for the calming of the Star Lane Gyratory once completed. We support the principle of calming of the gyratory and the opportunities that provides. However, care will need to be taken with regards to the design of the new crossing, as it passes through the conservation area. We welcome the inclusion of a new sentence at the end of paragraph 5.46 which notes the conservation area and requires the crossing to take account of heritage issues.
We note that the provision of a new Wet Dock crossing would facilitate access to the Island Site and provide for through traffic, allowing for the calming of the Star Lane Gyratory once completed. We support the principle of calming of the gyratory and the opportunities that provides in terms of stitching the town centre to the waterfront and encouraging the enhancement of heritage assets. However, care will need to be taken with regards to the design of the new crossing, as it passes through the Island Site and the Wet Dock Conservation Area. We welcome the inclusion of a new sentence at the end of paragraph 5.46 which notes the conservation area and requires the crossing to take account of heritage issues.
