Decision:
Options Considered:
A Proceed with the permitted scheme according to planning consent
19/00535 FULM notified 16th March 2021 with no changes.
B Proceed with an updated design layout based on the comments and
suggestions of accessibility stakeholders, the Public Transport
Team and Council Highways officers, whilst maintaining the
materiality consented in Planning Application 19/00535/FULM.
C Proceed with an updated design layout (increasing the number of
bus stops to five) and changes to type (i.e., pigmented tarmac,
concrete tactile paving) and colour of materials (terracotta or
green coloured cycleway) in public realm, based on the comments and
suggestions of accessibility stakeholders, the Public Transport
Team, and Council Highways officers.
D Proceed with an updated design layout (maintaining the number of
bus stops to the current four) and accepting changes to type and
the colour of materials (terracotta coloured cycleway) in public
realm, based on the comments and suggestions of accessibility
stakeholders, the Public Transport Team, and Council Highways
officers.
E Recommended Option
Proceed with an updated design layout (maintaining the number of
bus stops to the current four with increased waiting passenger
capacity) and accepting changes to type and colour of materials in
the public realm (i.e., pigmented tarmac, concrete tactile paving),
based on the comments and suggestions of accessibility
stakeholders, the Public Transport Team, and Council Highways
officers.
Options Rejected:
A Although the scheme has full planning consent and therefore it is
an option to proceed as permitted, owing to sensitivities towards
the accessibility stakeholders and that the proposed changes have
been deemed non-material by the LPA, this option can be
discounted.
B Although some of the sensitivities towards accessibility, cycle
and bus stakeholders have been addressed, this option falls short
of the requirements.
C Although this option improves the general layout and addresses
materiality concerns, careful consideration needs to be given to
the choice of colour of pigmented asphalt. The terracotta colour
considered by the York Accessibility Forum may conflict with green
cycleways already in place across the city and proposals for other
schemes (e.g., York Central). Now agreed as Green. The
Council’s Public Transport Team do not support an increase in
the number of bus stands to five and the only practical solution is
to maintain four stands in either direction to conform with
recognized TfL guidance, however we may increase waiting passenger
capacity at the 4 bus stands.
D Although this option improves the general layout and addresses
materiality concerns, careful consideration needs to be given to
the choice of colour of pigmented asphalt. The terracotta colour
considered by the York Accessibility Forum may conflict with green
cycleways already in place across the city and proposals for other
schemes (e.g., York Central). Now agreed as green. The
Council’s Public Transport Team supports maintaining the
number of bus stands at four stands in either direction.
