Tabley Active Travel Path

BACKGROUND Knutsford Town Council has secured permission from the Crown Estate to install a new active travel path linking Tabley Road to a new housing development. This project will support our aspirations to enhance active travel in Knutsford by creating a new walking and cycling link. ROUTE The path route is approximately 170m long, it will connect to Tabley Road and a footpath created on open space at the Tabley Park development . The path will be constructed on a field. There will be access from Tabley Road for construction. SPECIFICATION Our preference is for this path to match the paths created on the housing estate. The developers have provided the following diagram of these paths. • The path is to be 2m wide. • A post and thee rail fence is to be installed both sides of the path along the full length • A gate is to be installed at the Tabley Road end of the path, inset approx. 4m from the road We will also consider variant proposals for alternative surface finishes in addition to the above.
