Land South-West of Godstone Station

Vehicle access into the proposed development will be via a new signalised junction with the A22.  Footways will be provided on both sides of the access road and will link with the existing footway on the western side of the A22.  A pedestrian refuge island is also proposed on the access arm of the junction.

To support the new junction, we are proposing a number of improvements along this stretch of the A22:

• We are proposing that the 30 mph speed limit on the A22 is relocated approximately 200 metres south of its current position just south of the rail bridge. The new location would be to the south of Lagham Park Farm and would be sited on the brow of a hill, thereby offering good visibility of the change in speed limit from 50mph to 30mph.

• We are proposing to improve the footway between Lagham Park Farm and the railway bridge.  We could widen the existing footway and / or provide a new footway within the site behind the hedge line, which would separate the footway from traffic.

• The footway becomes very narrow as it passes under the railway bridge. We are therefore proposing to widen the footway under the bridge by reducing the width of the road to a single lane under the bridge, regulated by traffic lights.
