Detailed highways and transport assessments are currently underway to support the emerging proposals for the two sites at Coleshill Heath Road. These assessments are being prepared to fully understand the capacity of the surrounding highway network and to ensure that the developments can be safely accommodated. As part of this work, speed surveys are also being undertaken along Coleshill Heath Road to help determine the most suitable and deliverable locations for vehicular access points and to inform the design of safe access arrangements.

The assessments will consider matters such as highway safety, visibility, traffic generation, pedestrian connectivity, and the operation of nearby junctions. The findings will be reviewed by the local highways authority as part of the planning application process. Where necessary, appropriate mitigation measures will be incorporated into the proposals to address any identified impacts.

The emerging developments will be designed around clear and easy-to-navigate street layouts. Internal road networks will create low-speed residential environments that prioritise pedestrian safety and support a high-quality sense of place. Access arrangements will also be designed to accommodate service, refuse, and emergency vehicles in accordance with current highway standards.

The proposals will seek to improve opportunities for walking and cycling by enhancing connections to the surrounding area. New pedestrian and cycle routes will help link the developments with nearby residential areas, local facilities, employment areas, and public transport connections, encouraging more sustainable travel choices and reducing reliance on the private car.

The sites are located within a sustainable and accessible urban area, with a range of services and facilities located nearby. Existing public transport services along Coleshill Heath Road and surrounding routes provide convenient connections to the wider area, while nearby shops, schools, healthcare facilities, and employment opportunities can be accessed by walking, cycling, or public transport. This connectivity makes the sites well suited to sustainable residential development.
