Respondent: Highways England

It is understood that the RDS proposes a different Option for the location of development to that previously proposed at the Preferred Option stage and that further modelling work has been carried out in the form of Phase 3 of the Strategic Transport Assessment -This is welcomed.

The HA wish to record that that there is no committed scheme for the proposal for a managed motorway scheme between M40 junctions 15 and 14 (which is stated as "already committed")

If this proposal is necessary for delivery of the plan funding and deliverability would have to be clarified.

The forthcoming route based strategy will provide the evidence required to inform the HA's long term highway investment strategy.

The HA notes the planned infrastructure improvements that will directly involve the Strategic Road Network:
No 01 - Thickthorn Roundabout A46/ A452
No 17 - Greys Mallory Roundabout
No 18 - A46 "Stanks" Roundabout

No 19 - A46 Stoneleigh Junction Nos 21 and 22 - Europa Way Nos. 19,21 and 22 are on the local road network and therefore are primarily a matter for Warwickshire County Council.

For proposals 01, 17 and' 18 the Phase 3 modelling works shows that, as a matter of principle, these schemes are required to mitigate the traffic effects of the Proposed growth.

HA would wish to be party to further development of these schemes to allow greater certainty on deliverability and costs.
