The element is crucial because it will be important to link the existing offices within the AAP with the proposed station. As set out above, TCE would like to see improved access between the new railway station and CBP. Potential pedestrian/cycle access options have previously been worked up by Scott Brownrigg and HED and are enclosed for information. These options have then been shared with the occupiers at CBP who responded positively to the proposals. We would therefore like to see these options included within the next stage of the AAP.

TCE broadly supports the principle of promoting sustainable transport and movement through the idea of improving permeability and access to key routes, although TCE object to public access and new walkways being provided through CBP as shown within development options 2-4. For security and health and safety reasons, the general public cannot have access to and through CBP.

However, TCE would like to see improved pedestrian and cycle access between the new railway station and the CBP, for both the occupiers and their customers/visitors. This should be identified and supported in the AAP. Potential options for improving access from CBP to the Station have been previously worked up by Scott Brownrigg and HED and are enclosed for information.
