Decision details

The proposals are being pursued as part of a s278 Agreement under the Highways Act 1980 as part of development related works which will introduce further traffic movements.

New accesses have been constructed onto Rossendale Road, Burnley. To reduce the speed of vehicles approaching the new junctions, the 30mph speed limit location requires amending.

The purpose of this proposal is to revoke the existing 40mph speed limit along Rossendale Road, reverting the section of road between the new accesses to 30mph by virtue of street lighting.
