Bus gate in Old Torrington Road, Barnstaple

With DCC having declared a Climate Emergency please supply me with a copy of your Environmental Impact Assessment and DCC deliberations on the newly installed Bus Gate in Old Torrington Road, Barnstaple. Specifically the consideration of forcing hundreds of vehicular journeys to circumvent the most direct and least environmentally impactive routes.

The bus gate (currently being) installed on Old Torrington Road was proposed by developers Persimmon and Elan Homes and approved in their application to North Devon District Council (application number 61119).

Impacts of the proposal, if carried out by the developer, will be publicly available in the documents related to this application on the North Devon District Council planning web pages.

DCC deliberations on the making of the Traffic Regulation Order by the North Devon Highways and Traffic Orders Committee (HATOC) are publicly available on our website:
