It would seem they were a late addition to the conditions.
In order to try and sort out the issue of the provision of pedestrian crossings, I asked another formal question of WC.

'Dear Councillor Clark,
In response to your question regarding the discussion at Committee of condition 10 on the Hilperton Relief Road.
Condition 10, as agreed by the meeting (minute 294 refers) reads as follows:
