I have reverted this changeset as there was no intersection. The footpath to the upstairs flats runs on top of the ground floor shops. I have added layer=1 to the existing level=1 to make this clearer.

I should add I *think* I went to survey the road end after the earlier changeset was created, and there is no obvious sign from Bentley Road, with the way as you've drawn it passing through a gate and a garage, iirc

You might find this changeset relates osm.org/changeset/136603258

Not that one I think (at least I think I can see a lamp box in https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=783420368949832 )

Well spotted. I'm glad my Mapillary imagery is useful. Looks like an old cypher (starting G), so I'm wondering if this postbox got moved when the post office moved. osm.org/node/1832001391 Will try and spot it on recent Mapillary images

There are a couple more sites within half a mile of this one that have also only done the demolition part of their permission, so if we do change one we should probably be consistent. And probably many more across the Tendring district where we monitor approved planning applications and use those to know where to re-survey. See e.g. http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/tendring-openstreetmap-notes_97621

The note on this site shows that the original planning application was for Demolition and construction (with later change of plans). That the demolition has been done means the expiry date on the original permission is no longer relevant as the development has begun (even if so far that is just the demolition), and the site last time I was in town had those sort of metal fences you get around building sites. Brownfield might be an option, though I think of that more where there isn't approved plans in place.

I'll revert.

Why? The new building is not yet built.

I think the area:highway tags are used for pretty rendering in some renders, but the highway way for routing (and possibly labels), so you could try adding both if you want.

Hi. Do you remember where you got the Station Lane and Old Station House names from? I've seen suggestions that the address of the house might (now) be Gate House, Rectory Road. Thanks.

So I've removed them. But there is still stuff needs fixing in the area - the footpath definitely didn't involve wading in a river.

Using JOSM to identify the relevant GPS trace I then tracked down a photo, and a duplicate seems likely. As might this one osm.org/node/1602070540/history

Thanks for the reply. I've not cycled that bit, just seen cyclists on it when I've been on the Wivenhoe side. I have been looking at catching the bus to Rowhedge and walking to Wivenhoe on what will be the England Coast Path.

Has the crossing been replaced? Always used to be two with an island in the middle, as here https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=3973747309357327

I'm fairly sure the Rowhedge Trail also has permissive cycle access and plays a part in the city council's cycling strategy (or used to).

Any idea about this bridleway, which seems to be inaccessible to horses, only having footpaths either end? osm.org/way/1144835177

The footpath that you added when you deleted the service road that this note relates to osm.org/note/3186298 you've added bicycle=yes, but the first photo mentioned in that note suggests cycling is prohibited. This may have changed since the photo was taken, but thought I'd check with you.

This seems to have lost the detail that the hotel has a separate entrance for when the pub is closed (though admittedly the pub entrance centre front was already missing).

I'd not noticed before, but the bridleway to the west of this changeset has access=yes on it. That should probably be removed as I'm pretty sure this car routing isn't correct. osm.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=51.93978%2C1.11437%3B51.93985%2C1.11865#map=18/51.94027/1.11651
