Respondent: Highways England

Previously the Highways Agency commented that the addendum to the Strategic Transport Assessment identified that the proposed employment allocation will result in severe queuing at M40 Junction 15 (Longbridge Island) and that further detailed assessment of the impact on M40 Junction 15 was required before the Agency could take a view on the proposed allocation.
The Highways Agency has now undertaken its own assessment of the likely impact of the allocation on the operation of M40 Junction 15 and is satisfied that the additional traffic queues and delays that would arise from the allocation could be managed without causing severe congestion, by the traffic control system at the junction, perhaps with some adjustments.
