from the east and south without increasing traffic through Bishopton Village
itself.
The southern access road will comprise a new 7.3m wide carriageway on a
raised embankment crossing the main Glasgow to Gourock electrified railway
line and will thus include a 50m span road bridge. It will also incorporate
pavements and cycle lanes, street lighting where necessary, designed crossing
points, utility zones and landscaping mounds.
2.1.7 Northern Access Road
Provision of a new access road to the North of the CDA connecting the CDA
with the A8 North West of Bishopton Village allowing access to the
development from the west and north without increasing traffic through
Bishopton Village itself.
2.1.8 SUDS Ponds
Provision of a development wide Sustainable Urban Drainage System to
manage surface water arising from the development within the existing water
environment.
2.1.9 Foul drainage infrastructure
Provision of spine foul drainage including a series of pumping stations to
provide a “bridge” between the new development sites and the existing
drainage infrastructure and onward to Erskine Sewerage Treatment Plant. The
foul drainage will be taken to existing infrastructure to both North and South of
the CDA.
2.1.10Utility Services
Provision of Spine utility infrastructure from the existing networks to provide
connections through the site to each development plot. This will include power;
water and telecom provision will be taken to existing infrastructure to both
North and South of the CDA.
2.1.11M8 Junction
The final piece of infrastructure is the creation of a new half diamond Motorway
Junction connecting the M8 with the A8 east of Bishopton and to the east of the
new South Access Road. This junction is scheduled to commence during late
2015. The M8 Junction will be subject to a separate Traffic Management Plan
developed to satisfy the requirements of the Trunk Road Operator, Transport
Scotland and other stakeholders and is therefore not discussed here.
