Introduction
Challenges
The town’s existing north-south street pattern was restricted by several level crossings across the railway, causing both network congestion and safety concerns. One of the primary objectives was to provide a new north-south bridge over the railway which would alleviate congestion, provide a new primary route east to the expanding Newquay Airport, and enable the dangerous level crossings to be closed.
Another objective was to plan the development around a string of local centres ensuring that all residents would be within a five minute walk of local services, and a 15-minute walk of the proposed high street.
