Respondent: Highways England

The Highways Agency is keen to ensure that it is fully involved in further discussions as the CIL charging scheme develops. This is particularly important in respect of any priority list of infrastructure projects, particularly in terms of drawing up the Regulation 123 list of CIL infrastructure and how the listed schemes would interrelate with other requirements secured via other means such as Section 106 Obligations and Section 278 Agreements and with the list of transport related mitigation schemes as set out in the revised development strategy.

The HA believe it is critical that the relevant mechanisms dovetail and are prioritised/ managed effectively to ensure timely provision of the necessary infrastructure in parallel with new development to ensure that impacts arising from new development are acceptable.

The HA will continue to work collaboratively with the Council and Warwickshire County Council as the local highway authority to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is identified and deliverable.
