Draft Greater Cambridge Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document re-consultation - 2025

Thank you for consulting National Highways on the abovementioned Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

National Highways 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).

It has been noted that once adopted, the SPD will become a material consideration in the determination 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. National Highways encourage applicants to seek pre-application advice on schemes which could impact the SRN and discuss any mitigation requirements ahead of submission.

Notwithstanding the above comments, we have reviewed the document and we offer no further comments at this stage.
