Respondent: National Highways

The LP has limited information regarding the potential scale and location of employment development intended for the Borough, other than the overall target of 8,642 net additional jobs. It is therefore not possible to consider what the potential impact of those sites could be on the operation of the SRN. Highways England recommend that when further information regarding the exact location of proposed employment development sites is established that these should be included in any modelling assessment to understand the cumulative impact of growth proposals across the borough on the SRN.

Highways England suggests that once a development strategy for the LP has been chosen that its impacts are further considered with regards to the SRN so that the full impacts are understood, and potential infrastructure required to support the strategy are clearly identified.
