Importance: High
Charles,
 
Further to yesterday's conversation, i've had a chance to chat with my colleagues and our consultants and they have confirmed the following in response to Michelle Horn's comments:
  • PR Zone 2 shows a service bay which will include a drop off kerb for level service trolley access, this will not be used for private drop-off purposes.
  • Taxi Queuing rails are designed with generous DDA compliant space between them.
  • The security bollards will include black visibility strips as can be seen opposite at St Pancras Station. The tactile studs have been designed to match those on the opposite side of the Pancras Road crossing; we would have thought it prudent to use a consistent approach to avoid confusing the blind and partially blind users.
  • All bollard locations and open widths will have a minimum space between of 1200mm.
  • The Island within zone 6 is for drop off purposes only. People will not be encouraged to move into the vehicular area and there will be no drop kerb.
  • The Disabled bay sizes are compliant with DDA requirements and the load and unload areas around the vehicle bay will be flush, sawn yorkstone setts which will not represent any problem for wheelchair users.
 
I hope that this addresses all the points raised.  If there's anything further that you would like us to look at i'm happy for it to be attached as informatives to the decision.
 
I see that Jas has sent you copies of the revised drawings, so i hope that is all the information that you need.
 
Many thanks
