Main amendments to the proposal, following submission of the S278 application are as follows: - General Arrangement: The western pedestrian crossing on the A41 has been relocated from its original position shown on the Rev A02 drawing. The crossing is located some 35m from the roundabout to allow for the provision of MOVA traffic control systems. Reason: The relocation is made on the grounds of highway safety - General Arrangement: A central island / refuge has been included on the eastern arm approach to the roundabout to segregate the left and ahead movements at the roundabout. The amendment is to ensure the appropriate entry path radius for straight ahead movements is achieved Reason: on the grounds of highway safety - Drainage: The previous drainage strategy included surface water attenuation within the central island of the roundabout. The attenuation has been removed and the proposals now include: i. A swale within the central island to allow conveyance of surface water from the circulatory carriageway ii. Oversized pipes (600mm diameter) to provide below ground storage in high rainfall events iii. Provision of a hydrobrake to control surface water discharge to the ditch north of the A41 at agreed rates with Oxfordshire County Council (proposed as non-material amendments to 20/01830/F)
