zulutango wrote: » In this case no, because it's what's known as a Part 8 application (i.e. it's the process when a local authority gives planning consent for itself), so ABP have no role. The Council could withdraw the tender and re-issue it later with a compliant design. But that will only happen if enough noise is made by public, councillors, etc. I think a complaint could be made to the National Transport Authority, as they are the ones who are funding the scheme. If it goes ahead, as designed, then the future of Wickham Street is goosed. It will continue to have vacant and derelict buildings and the businesses that are there will continue to struggle. This is a huge missed opportunity for the street.

So on lane would be a no brainer unless they redesigned the traffic flow. (sorry key board is acting up any missspellings)
