Provide footpath link to new Oddington OB (24m 07ch) on southeast side of railway. Close FP to northwest of railway.(Existing footpath network provides suitable links on northwest side).1. Replace with footbridge at site of crossing – low levels of usage and proximity to proposed bridge to replace Oddington AOCLmean that cost and visual impact of separate structure cannot be justified.2. Retain and upgrade crossing - undesirable due to increased safety risk resulting from increased speed and frequency of trains.Key considerations in determining proposal:3. Close full length of footpath without direct replacement – undesirable impact on rights of way; link to Oddington bridge alreadybeing provided in connection with Oddington Foot CrossingRailway engineeringand operations:Land and property:Planning:Ecology:Retention of crossing undesirable from safety point of view. Overhead electricity cables nearby. Access difficult for bridgeconstruction.Footbridge might require small areas of third-party land.
