Burgess Hill Northern Arc, Land N And NW Of Burgess Hill, Between Bedelands Nature Reserve In The East And, Goddard's Green Waste Water Treatment Works In The West
Proposal
The construction of a single carriageway link road from the tie-in with the proposed Western Bridge and Link Road (WBLR), through to the proposed tie-in with Eastern Bridge and Link Road (EBLR) including tie-ins to the existing B2036 Cuckfield Road. The primary east-west route will typically comprise of a new 6.5m carriageway with one 3m shared footway/cycleway and one 2m wide footway and two 2.75m verges. While the 6.5m wide carriageway will be consistent throughout, some sections of the primary east-west route will diverge from this typical arrangement to complement area specific requirements. The northern link to the B2036 Cuckfield Road from the proposed east-west road will consist of a new 6.5m wide carriageway and single 2m footway. The southern link to the B2036 Cuckfield Road from the proposed east-west road will consist of a new 6.5m wide carriageway and a short extension of the Green Super Highway extending to the driveway entrance servicing the existing Oak Barn Bar & Restaurant carpark. The western end of the east-west road corridor and the southern link to the B2036 Cuckfield Road will both facilitate connections to the Green Superhighway. All will be constructed to an adoptable standard, together with associated crossing points, earthworks and vegetation removal, surface water and foul drainage infrastructure, utilities corridors and diversions, road lighting, soft landscaping, including tree-planting and temporary fencing, on-street parking and provision of in-line bus stops for bus services.

About reserved matters applications
How this application type works
A reserved matters application fills in the detail held back from an earlier outline permission, typically appearance, landscaping, layout, scale or access. The council judges it against the outline permission already granted, not the principle of development, which is settled. It must normally be submitted within three years of the outline decision.
