Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for consulting us on the abovementioned document.

As you may be aware National Highways (formerly Highways England) is a strategic highway company under the provisions of the infrastructure Act 2015 and is the highway authority, traffic authority and street authority for the Strategic Road Network (SRN). As such we have responsibilities for managing the SRN in accordance of our licence and in general conformity with the requirements of the Highways Act 1980 and to satisfy the reasonable requirements of road safety.

It is noted that once adopted, this SPD will become a material consideration in the determining of planning applications. Where relevant, National Highways will be a statutory consultee on future planning applications within the area and will assess the impact on the SRN of a planning application accordingly.

Notwithstanding the above comments, we have reviewed the document and note that the details set out within the document are unlikely to have an severe impact on the operation of the trunk road and we offer No Comment.

Kind regards,


Philip Porter

Assistant Spatial Planner
Operations (East) | National Highways
