Now, compare the newly constructed Carhaix Way with this desription by TDC planners of how the link road should look (when built!). Note that it is to be designed to discourage vehicles from using it as a cut through to the A379. Ha, ha , ha, ha, oh dear I'm splitting my sides "Avenue Specification The vehicular access through DA2 should be in the form of an avenue. ‘Secmaton Avenue’ ...

"As to Secmaton Rise nothing is sacred, if this was deemed a good access point by DCC the house would go, look at the people losing homes due to HS2". Yep! So true. The compulsory purchase order reigns supreme., Never, ever, forget that folks! You think your home is your castle? Not if the local authority or central government wants it, it ain't! (example: the owner of ...
Well, it won't be just those living on Bovis/Cavanna using Carhaix Way to Exeter Road will it? Surely it will be those living over in the Gatehouse/Newlands/top part of Elm Grove Road areas who will do likewise? And also, until the link road is built and is accessible for all forms of vehicles, then the more dwellings that get built in the DA2 area the more Carhaix Way will get used by more and ...
Understand it's something to do with differences in datum levels between the two developments. Engineer looking into it.
Thank you. I've just (scan) read the document to which you refer and can't say as I find anything there that answers my questions but the dates that you mention (after 2001 but before 2005) do ring vague bells with me. I've e-mailed DCC Highways department and asked them the why and when questions

This closure happened before I moved here so I have no history of when it happened and the arguments that were put forward for it to happen. Can anyone ...
By the way, despite what Cavanna say in their letter (see my post above) about the new extension of Carhaix Way ".........we have co-ordinated the line and level of the carriageway in order that the road will join......" that is not necessarily correct. At least it isn't correct to this particular layperson's eyes. I am not a highways engineer so there may be some perfectly valid ...
Would that be the letter from Cavanna Homes dated 9.1.15 where on page two is written: “ The adopted roadway is taken to the eastern boundary of the development to meet up with the development road of “Secmaton Rise” by Strongvox. We have co-ordinated the line and level of the carriageway in order that the road will join and would propose to open this upon completion of the relevant area of ...
