ARL4: Provision for Cycling and Walking

Strategic developments in Arlesey parish shall, where practical, be designed to provide dedicated footpaths and cycleways which will provide access for pedestrians and cyclists towards the existing built-up areas of Arlesey and the key focal points within it (e.g. the station, the school, the village hall), as well as enabling access to the wider countryside. Where appropriate, such provision should contribute to the creation of the Etonbury Green Wheel.

In particular, proposals for Arlesey Cross strategic development should be formulated alongside school travel plans and provide for safe access for pedestrians and cyclists to the new school including access points from any wider school designated area beyond the strategic development.

Non-strategic development sites (land outside Arlesey Cross) that make direct improvements to cycling and walking will be strongly supported. New developments should seek to ensure safe pedestrian access to link up with existing footways and cycleways.

Where possible, developments should include footpaths and cycleways segregated from vehicle traffic.

Proposals to support the development of a north-south cycle path running parallel to the High Street will be supported.

Proposals to provide access across the A507 should incorporate access for those on foot, with bikes and the less mobile.

The provision of cycle parking in the village centre will be supported.
