This set of Highways England highlight concerns regarding the transport assumptions underlying the Local Plan and proposed development North of Bailrigg Lane

Quotation from February 2019 letter:

​

Highways England was expecting the Local Plan to be supported by a comprehensive
and transparent cumulative transport assessment, to be undertaken before the
Examination in Public (EiP).

​

The letter and the technical appendix goes on to point to significant shortcomings in the Transport Assessment linked to the Local provided these include modelling and mitigation schemes. They conclude:

​

We do not consider that the TA provides a robust transport evidence base, and have concernsover the validity of the conclusions, along with the scope and suitability of the identified mitigation affecting the SRN.

​

These concerns are repeated and reinforced in subsequent letters in May 2019, September 2019 and January 2020.

​

The letters are all below in PDF form. If you are using a mobile phone you may find it easier to click on the links to each letter.
