Connectivity and creating a walkable neighbourhood
Connectivity and creating a walkable neighbourhood
The site is sustainably located close to existing services and facilities, and there is an opportunity to significantly expand and enhance connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists.
The Masterplan aims to prioritise and improve opportunities for safe, direct, easy active travel and public transport options. This is achieved by:
Main access points for all users – vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians, into the site from Luton Road and Darley Green Road
An expanded network of off-street footpaths and cycle paths, supplementing the existing Public Rights of Way
Pedestrian and cycle routes throughout and across the site, connecting all key facilities
Links wherever possible between the new network of on-site paths to the wider pedestrian and cycles network extending into Luton and the wider countryside
A multi-modal transport hub at the Luton Road gateway
Prioritisation of pedestrian and cycle routes over those for vehicles, wherever possible
A new high-frequency bus service serving the local area which puts all homes on site within comfortable walking distance of public transport
20mph speed limits throughout the site
