  • Pinhoe Station Interchange PDF 606 KB
    PTE/21/16 Exeter Highways and Traffic Orders Committee 15 March 2020 Pinhoe Station Interchange Report of the Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment Please note that the following recommendations are subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that: (a) The proposed Pinhoe station car park interchange, as shown in Appendix I, be approved for construction at an estimated cost of £249,500; and (b) the Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment be given delegated powers, in consultation with the Chair of HATOC and the local member, to make minor amendments to the scheme details. 1. Background/Introduction Pinhoe is an area of significant new housing, with several thousand new homes in Exeter and East Devon within a mile of the station. The station is also in close proximity to employment at Exeter Business Park, Exeter Science Park and the Met Office. Pinhoe Railway Station is currently served by hourly trains on the West of England mainline between Exeter and London Waterloo. Improving facilities at the station will help increase the attractiveness of rail by improving options to switch to cycle or bus for the first/last leg of the journey to employment in the vicinity. Pinhoe Station Interchange is identified in the April 2020 Transport Infrastructure Plan, the 5 year Action Plan of the Exeter Transport Strategy 2020-2030 and the Pinhoe Area Access Strategy (PAAS). The project is part grant funded by the South Western Railway (SWR) Customer and Communities Improvement Fund (CCIF), which supports projects with a community benefit &/or seek to address an area of social need across the SWR network.
