    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to provide the planned footbridge

    Wider context from the report

    “However I also heard that in the vicinity of the crossing there was planning permission in place to build a footbridge. I have been told that such had been the position since 1991; that it was an obligation on the builder at the time to build a footbridge; that planning permission had been granted in 2000. I heard a number of reasons and explanations why this has not happened. I was told that there are now plans in relation to a new footbridge which is different in construction and that its location has moved hence it requires a fresh planning application and permission. I have heard that a footbridge would enhance safety and eliminate risk, that network rail supports the closure of any crossing but has no power or responsibility – that rests with the North Somerset District Council and the developer – now Persimmon, who it should be noted were not the original developer. ”
