Introduction The modernisation of England’s motorways and major A roads, also known as the strategic road network (SRN), is making a vital contribution to economic wellbeing and growth. This Route Strategy – one of 18 such reports – provides a statement on the current performance of, and perceived pressures on, the East of England route to inform the planning of future investment. The SRN supports national and local economic prosperity by: ▪ linking together major cities ▪ connecting with extensive local road networks ▪ providing links to major ports, airports, and rail terminals • enabling good access to regions and cross-border routes between the nations of the United Kingdom The establishment of Highways England through the Infrastructure Act 2015 has changed fundamentally the way we plan investment in the network. Funding is now determined every 5 years, in the Road Investment Strategy (RIS), which is set by Government. We are currently delivering on the commitments that were set out in the first RIS covering 2015 to 2020, which are already making a difference for road users across the network. At the same time, we are working closely with the other 3 bodies with statutory responsibility for the RIS – Department for Transport, Office of Rail and Road and Transport Focus – on preparing for the next RIS (RIS2) for the period after 2020. 1 2 East of England Route Strategy RIS1 Strategic Vision as reiterated in RIS Post 2020: Planning ahe ad Purpose of Route Strategies RIS1 Strategic Vision as reiterated in RIS Route Strategies provide a high level view of the current Post 2020: Planning ahe ad performance of the SRN as well as issues perceived by E conomy Environment our stakeholders that affect the network.

  • Budget Submission – the East of England: an Engine for Growth
    Dear Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer Budget Submission – the East of England: An Engine for Growth We are writing to you as Co-chairs of the East of England APPG officers to request that you consider, when preparing your March Budget statement, the submission the APPG agreed in advance of the anticipated (and ultimately delayed) Spending Review - An Engine for the Nation’s Prosperity. We also trust you will have in mind Cambridge Econometrics’ report – An Economic Strategy for the East of England – about which the APPG was briefed when it held its inaugural meeting last week. Like the UK Innovation Corridor APPG’s report - Local Industrial Strategy Growth Prospectus – these documents are complementary, and we endorse their findings. In fact, the very well attended APPG meeting - including ten Parliamentarians, representatives of LEPs and local government as well as business and university leaders - demonstrated the high degree of consensus across the East of England regarding what all agree are the opportunities, challenges and priorities for Government support for this region’s cities, market and coastal towns, and villages and, of course, to support its private, public and third sectors. We would therefore wish to emphasise our emerging collective vision for the East of England, which is: • as a network of dynamic high growth corridors, linking key regional clusters and institutions, connecting Cambridge with significant coastal assets and global gateways to the east and CaMkOx to the west as well as via the innovation

Today, the parish covers a large area, one of the biggest in the Hundred Parishes, incorporating the villages of Standon and Puckeridge and also the hamlets of Barwick, Colliers End, Latchford and Wellpond Green. Standon, Latchford and Barwick grew up beside the River Rib, which meanders from north to south through the middle of the parish. Puckeridge and Colliers End developed alongside Ermine Street, the old Roman road from London to Lincoln and York that later became a busy coaching route, especially serving London and Cambridge. A second Roman highway, Stane Street, ran between Colchester and St Albans, crossing Ermine Street at a Roman town whose location was close to the present northern parish boundary with Braughing, a boundary that is today largely defined by the old route of Stane Street. Wellpond Green is a relatively new residential hamlet. Much of Stane Street has become today’s A120, with a diversion that now runs to the south of Puckeridge.

  • East Herts District Plan
    East Herts District Plan Strategic March 2017 Land Availability Assessment 1.0 Introduction 1.1 National planning policy requires all Local Planning Authorities to produce a technical study known as the Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) in order to identify sites with potential for future development. The SLAA has informed work on the District Plan and Neighbourhood Planning. It has also assisted with the identification of future land supply. 1.2 The SLAA is a ‘live’ document in that it should be updated on a regular basis in order to reflect changing circumstances. Therefore, this version of the SLAA presents the most up to date position as at March 2017. 2.0 Methodology 2.1 Paragraphs 019 to 021 of the PPG identify that, when undertaking a SLAA, sites should be considered against three criteria, namely; suitability, availability and achievability. These terms are explained below. Suitability The assessment of suitability takes into account a range of policy constraints. These include environmental and heritage designations, impact on landscape and character, flooding and Green Belt / Rural Area Beyond the Green Belt. Availability A site is considered to be available if there are no legal or ownership issues which would prevent the site coming forward for development. Achievability Achievability is effectively a judgement about the economic viability of a site, and the capacity of the developer to complete the development over a certain period of time. 2.2 Having assessed each site against the three criteria, a conclusion can be reached. If a site is considered to be suitable, available and achievable, then it is regarded as being ‘deliverable’.
