Policy WT2 (Late submission)
Network Rail have recently outlined the potential impacts of proposed developments on level crossings in Waterbeach, most recently provided in the response for planning application S/2075/18/OL dated 28/01/2021. The proposed route from Waterbeach Village train station to the relocated train station partially runs along the railway to the east. Policy WT2 would therefore encourage pedestrians to use the Public Right of Way at Burgess Drove level crossing.

Network Rail would prefer to see the pathway constructed further from the railway to reduce the number of pedestrians, including those using mobility scooters and pushchairs, from using the level crossing.
