Respondent: Highways England

With regards to phasing and deliverability of development, in previous comments on the Preferred Option, the HA noted that the document identified only the likely timeframe within which each site may be developed [and not deliverability].

The RDS similarly gives a likely phase for each development site to come forward but again no reference is made to deliverability.
The HA reiterates the points raised on the preferred option with regards to deliverability, to ensure that the RDS offers sufficient comfort that the required transport / highway infrastructure to support the growth envisaged will be in place at the right time.


The HA will continue to work in partnership with the Council and Warwickshire County Council as the local highway authority to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is identified, with appropriate funding and delivery mechanisms in place, to ensure a sound strategy.

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.
