Issue details

Purpose of Report: The upgrade and signalisation of the North Field Lane/Station Road/A59 junction in Poppleton is an essential part of the proposed Poppleton Bar Park and Ride site proposal. To increase the capacity of the junction it is proposed to provide a left turn filter out of North Field Lane. The land required for these works is currently owned by the Council but registered as part of a village green. Under Section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 it is proposed to appropriate a small area of the village green for planning purposes to enable the highway to be upgraded. In accordance with the requirements of this act, legal notices have been placed in the local press with a last response date of 21 June for any objections.
Cabinet is asked to consider the proposal and take account of any objections before confirming the appropriation of the land. An early confirmation of the availability of the land for the proposed works is required to enable the design to be completed.
