BR5: Transport and Movement in the Brookfield Area
The following highway interventions require early delivery as part of the comprehensive development of Brookfield Riverside and Brookfield Garden Village:
- construction of a Halfhide Lane to Turnford Interchange link road (the ‘Turnford Link Road’), together with provision of a new western arm at the A10 Turnford Interchange, as shown on the Concept Plan. The road design and layout will facilitate safe pedestrian and cycle crossings between the Garden Village, Riverside, Brookfield Retail Park and Brookfield Centre. The alignment of the road will be determined in accordance with Policies BR4 and BR6;
- The Garden Village distributor road, which should take the form of a treelined boulevard providing access to all parts of the development for buses, bicycles and private vehicles. The alignment and design of the road will ensure multiple safe crossing points for people and for wildlife at key desire lines, as well as preserving mature trees; and
Sustainable transport and modal shift will be facilitated through provision of the following:
- a frequent bus service through the development connecting with Cheshunt station, Waltham Cross, and Hertford Regional College;
- pleasant and safe pedestrian links to ensure integration within the town centre environment, including with the existing retail park; with Brookfield Garden Village and with existing residential areas on both sides of the A10; and
- new cycle paths east-west under the A10 at Turnford Brook, the New River, and at Halfhide Lane; to the Garden Village; and along the New River to existing residential areas of west Cheshunt.
Other measures should be provided in accordance with the Broxbourne Transport Strategy and Policy INF2.
