[B] Close Northbrook Road between its junctions with Court Road and Gilbert Road, a distance of approximately 60 metres.
[C] Impose a clearway on both sides of the A351 in the vicinity of Afflington road bridge, for a distance of approximately 200 metres.
The reasons for these conditions are:
[A] to provide a safe passenger waiting area, and prevent overcrowding on the public highway;
[B] to provide a safe area for pedestrians. It is anticipated that pedestrians will congregate on this bridge to view the Flying Scotsman as it enters and leaves Swanage Station;
