141127 | Details on Walker Developments proposed Expansion to West Cornwall Retail Park
Via email from Richard Walker
Nanpusker Link
The Cornwall Highways have approached us to see if we were prepared to make land available up the eastern boundary of the Rugby Club site for a road to link Marsh Lane with Nanpusker Road. Our scheme in fact shows a service road up this boundary this road and our service area could be used also to deliver that link. There are obviously benefits with this possibility for Angarrack especially for the future with the planned expansion residentially for Hayle to the south with all that potential traffic only able to get out via Guildford Road or Nanpusker Road to avoid the double mini roundabout junction at Carwin Rise. This link would provide a means of access and egress over and above the current situation which would reduce the possibility of vehicles coming through Angarrack at times of the day when congestion was greatest.
Changes to Plans
Our plans for the Rugby Club are as they have always been and most importantly for Angarrack residents do not involve the pedestrian prioritisation of Marsh Lane from the service entrance at the back of the West Cornwall Retail Park just off Loggans Moor roundabout as far as the point beyond the access to the industrial estate. This idea will cause absolute mayhem for traffic. Our proposal is to leave Marsh Lane as it is but also to add and additional left turning lane for people wishing to get to Angarrack when they come to the existing roundabout to reduce congestion at busy times.
Housing
This was raised by a member of the public at the Cranford public meeting. The lady put forward the idea that if the Cranford retail application was not approved would residential go there instead. I don't think anyone believes that that is a serious possibility given the Flood designation of the area.
The Rugby Club Detailed or Outline
The current application is in outline to seek approval for the principle of retail development on the Rugby Club site. The reason for this is because we are working with the owners of the existing retail park IM Properties and would if consent was granted then submit a detailed application in conjunction with them which would deliver the integration of the existing park with the new extension on the Rugby Club site. The benefits of this would be shared and much increased parking to get cars into the combined site and off Marsh Lane. Much greater levels of linked trips between the two retail areas would be achieved with people parking and not getting in their cars to go and visit other retail units as they would if they had to go across the road to the Cranford proposal. Please see attached the presentation that was made to the Strategic Planning Committee yesterday.
Hopefully the above addresses your questions but if there is anything further please do not hesitate to make contact.
Kind regards
