Mill Road Depot Draft Planning and Development Brief SPD

The Mott McDonald traffic report is notable for:
(i) its inadequate scope (complete failure to include the access needs of Bharat Bhavan, the Language School, and notably the Chisholm trail),
(ii) its failure to assess the interactions between movement patterns (and consequent management issues) generated by these multiple needs, and
(iii) its inadequate assessment of its own survey data.
Mott McDonald's draft junction layout does not show the route of the Chisholm Trail, or the needs of Bharat Bhavan and the Language School (neither of which have any rear access or servicing). To be realistic, any proposal for the junction needs to assess the consequent traffic flows and space needs. It also needs to provide sufficient access, parking and servicing space for Bharat Bhavan.
These issues have to be resolved now, before the SPD is approved, because the nature of any redevelopment of the Depot site is totally dependent on the capacity of the site access.
