Bayswater Brook bridge plan given go-ahead for housing development

Elsfield Parish Council said “floodwater could overwhelm ditches and culverts on the lane” making the new cycle path “unsafe”.

Their spokeswoman said “additional conditions needed to be attached in order to achieve the purposes that were set out by the Local Plan in delivering an environmentally safe low car development in a secure setting”.

But Gavin Angell, speaking on behalf of Dorchester Residential Management, said the “exciting” plan had been supported by Active Travel England, Cyclox, the Environment Agency and transport group SYSTRA.

It was voted through with five in favour and two against.

They recommended to delegate it to their head of planning subject to several conditions, including plans around biodiversity, landscape management, tree protection and a flood risk assessment.
