Consultation Draft 1 - Stoke-on-Trent City Council

BASELINE SPATIAL HIERARCHY SUMMARY 62
6.9 Other Primary Streets
• The designated primary streets are Town Road, Foundary Street,
Lower Foundary Street, Trinity Street, Gitana Street, Brunswick
Street, Broad Street, Bethesda Street (partially), Warner Street,
Cannon Street, Lichfield Street (partially), Adventure Place and
Bagnall Street
• The surfaces for pedestrians will be raised,with separately defined
vehicular and pedestrian carriageways. Kerbs shall be dropped
where vehicular access to premises is required
• The design quality of these streets will be high, as they provide
key linkages between the major existing and proposed schemes
within the City Centre
• The lighting proposals should be consistently well-lit, particularly
in the Trinity area where a concentration of late night economy
activities require pro-active on-street safety management. Building
mounted lighting is preferred where feasible to reduce street clutter.
• Designated streets will be required to provide lanes for bus and
cycle use (refer to Chapter 5: Connectivity) and design proposals
should have regard to associated loading and turning requirements
in the design of paving. Reference will need to be made to
the Highways Authority for specified minimum widths of designated
carriageways.
• the preferred paving module size is setts to vehicular carriageways
and flags to pavements, using natural stone materials laid to
interlocking staggered bond. Clearly defined pedestrian crossing
points need to be incorporated to promote a comfortable pedestrian
passage across the road.
• vehicle turning points into and out of these streets should incorporate
a mix of flags and setts to prevent paving failure in the long
term
• refer to section 6.9: Boulevard Streets for guidance on incorporation
of tree planting
