9.1 Effective highway circulation around Frome is important to enable the town to fulfil its potential during the plan period and its role as a primary settlement. Highways infrastructure capacity improvements and/or transport measures are likely to be needed to support growth over the plan period as part of both the strategic road network and the local road network at Frome.
9.2 Development committed through this Plan will therefore need to recognise its impact in the context of cumulative planned growth and the likely limitations of the existing highway network.
9.3 Development committed through this Plan should support growth in such a way that the functionality of the highway network is not compromised.
9.4 In addition to complying with the requirements of Policy DP9, this will include a demonstration of how development reasonably and proportionately supports the necessary delivery of highway infrastructure set out in policy DP27 through the planning application process.
Key infrastructure measures will be provided during the plan period, in addition to proposals identified in other polices of this plan, in order to support the delivery of development within Frome, Beckington and Rode.
The following necessary Strategic Road Network schemes shall be provided during the plan period to support the delivery of the development strategy for Frome:
1. A36 Beckington roundabout
2. A36 White Row roundabout
Where necessary, Non-Strategic Road Network schemes on the A362 corridor through Frome shall be provided during the plan period to support the delivery of the development strategy for the Town.
