Regulation 18 draft Local Plan
Policy CC8 - Renewable Energy
Representation ID: 5084
Received: 03/01/2024
Respondent: National Highways
Dft Circular 01/2022 paragraphs 65-70 set outs National Highways policy in relation to wind and solar farms adjacent to the Strategic Road Network. This identifies potential risks to motorists, what will/will not be acceptable, and what further information may need to be provided to support planning proposals.

Policy CC14 - Flood Risk
Representation ID: 5124
Received: 03/01/2024
Respondent: National Highways
Policy CC14 of the local plan sets out the Council’s requirements for ensuring new development does not increase the risk of flooding. In doing so we note that the policy allows for discharging surface water to highway drains. It should be noted however, that with respect on the Strategic Road Network, this would not be permitted (with reference to DfT Circular 01/2022 paragraph 59).

Respondent: National Highways
National Highways is unlikely to support S106 contributions for infrastructure improvements to the Strategic Road Network in most cases. The text should be expanded to include highways improvements secured under Section 278 of the Highways Act.

Respondent: National Highways
The cumulative traffic and transport impacts of local plan growth will need to be robustly assessed and presented in a Strategic Transport Assessment.
As highway authority for the A1 trunk road, we would expect that the Transport Assessment is shared with us for our review and comments. However, we would prefer to engage with you earlier in the process to help scope the necessary requirements for establishing a robust transport evidence base. We believe that this collaborative approach will help to ensure that the likely residual transport infrastructure needs, timescales and potential funding requirements are understood.
