Policy TI2: Cycle Routes
- The B4044 cycle route (as shown on map 19) is safeguarded, to enable a new cycle path to be provided. New development adjacent to the route should
be designed to enhance the safety and amenity of the proposed cycle pathandwhere relevant, make appropriate contributions to the delivery of this scheme. Development proposals should not compromise the scope for public access to the protected route.Development proposals that maximise opportunities for cycle movements to promote connectivity within and between the settlements in the Parish will be supported.
- The policy seeks to ensure that new development does not compromise the route of the proposed cycle path or compromise its operation through poor design.
- Evidence relating to the safeguarding of the route can be found in the B4044 Cycle Path Business Case. Oxfordshire County Council is supportive of the B4044 cycle route scheme and is developing a business case and undertaking some feasibility work. The development of the path is an important initiative. Financial contributions from proposed developments may be sought via legal agreements towards the delivery of the proposed scheme and improvement of the route where they would meet the tests of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations.
