     (1) Provide additional detail how the potential risks for conflict on the access driveway
         will be addressed (through surface treatments etc.)



Urbis Response:
The proposed development consists of four townhouse dwellings with garages attached. The traffic
generated by such a development is conservatively assumed to be between 0.4-0.6 trips per dwelling
during the peak hour. This would result in two way traffic of around 1.6-2.4 trips per hour during the
busiest time of the day. This is a tiny number of trips per hour. . The likelihood of conflict between
pedestrians and vehicles is miniscule given a similar number of pedestrian trips on the driveway
during the peak hour.
The length that a vehicle would have to drive between the access driveway and the furthest garage is
less than 30m. Over this distance, accessed by a standard residential driveway, all cars will be
travelling at slow speeds. At speeds of 10-20km/h a collision would be unlikely to occur as the driver
and pedestrian would be able to see each other clearly.
The current design prepared by Blight Rayner has attempted to mitigate this unlikely risk by providing
contrasting colour and texture on the pathway connections to the street from each dwelling. This is
indicated in Figure 1 below and provided in more detail in the Blight Rayner plans. This would further
delineate the pedestrian pathway and highlight the risk to drivers and pedestrians.

The only other point where pedestrians will be walking on the driveway will be between their houses
and the refuse bin stores. However, this journey would only ever put a pedestrian in conflict with their
