6.4 Whilst the adopted Local Plan requires a through route, a main vehicular access ontoStation Road, together with an emergency route along Mole Ridge Way to North Roadwith a controlled access point would be acceptable as an alternative subject to approvedmanagement and maintenance arrangements.6.5 A further potential vehicular access point could be created at an existing gateway atthe south-eastern corner of the site, off Station Road. It has the potential to act as anemergency access, as well as serving a limited number of properties.6.6 The development should incorporate a primary route running through the site from StationRoad to Parsonage Lane. The general alignment of the main vehicular route should respondto the topography and retention of existing landscape features. All vehicular routes withinthe development proposals should be designed to restrict traffic speeds to a maximumof 20mph. Secondary routes should be designed to passively control vehicle speeds toensure that the development gives priority to the provision of a safe cycle and pedestrianpriority realm.6.7 This includes making provision for either a bus turning area or a bus stop and pull in area, ifrequired. The way in which this bus waiting/turning area could be provided will be discussedat detailed application stage.21Land East of Parsonage Lane, South Molton (Policy SMO2d) ADOPTED DEVELOPMENT BRIEFRPS PlanningApril 2008
