The A27/ A2030 grade separated junction should be included in the study area and the impact of the scheme at this junction should be examined. Alternatively, justification should be provided for its exclusion (para 2.13). 2. The existence or otherwise of a construction site access on the east side of the A2030, to the north of its junction with the A27 should be confirmed (para 1.10). If a site access is proposed here, further details should be provided as follows: o Its proposed layout, including HGV swept path analysis; o Its capacity tested using a PICADY model; o Confirmation that the risk of a queue back from this junction to the A27/ A2030 grade separated junction is minimal; and o If this is not the case, details of traffic management measures designed to minimise such queueing. 3. Details of the performance of the following junctions in each assessment scenario, extracted from the SRTM runs already undertaken (para 2.13): o A3/ A27 Portsbridge roundabout; o M27 Junction 12 grade separated junction; o M27 Junction 12 roundabout junction with A3 Southampton Road/ Western Road; o A3(M) Junction 4; o A3(M) Junction 5; and o The dumb-bell junction linking A3 (M) J5 with the A27 east towards Havant.

  • Briefing Note 01
    Briefing Note 01 Project: Highways England Spatial Planning Job No: 60600479 / DF006.003 Arrangement 2016-2020 Subject: Aquind Interconnector – Review of Collision Analyses Prepared by: Kimberley Pettingill Date: 14th October 2020 Checked by: Mark Watson Date: 15th October 2020 Verified by: Andrew Cuthbert Date: 29th October 2020 Approved by: Andrew Cuthbert Date: 29th October 2020 Introduction On behalf of Highways England, this Briefing Note (BN01) documents AECOM’s review of the ‘Highway Safety’ chapter of the Transport Assessment (TA) contained within the Environmental Statement (ES) at Appendix 22.1 (dated November 2019), and the ‘Collision Analysis’ chapter of the Supplementary Transport Assessment (STA) contained within the Environmental Statement Addendum (dated October 2020), both produced by WSP, for the proposed Aquind Interconnector. The ES (November 2019) document has been accessed from the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) website as part of the documentation accompanying an application for a Development Consent Order (DCO) with PINS Reference: EN020022.The ES Addendum (dated October 2020) has been received directly from the developers consultant, WSP. The Aquind Interconnector is a proposed cross-channel electricity cable, which will make landfall at Southsea (Portsmouth) and access the National Grid at a converter station at Lovedean, to the north of Denmead. The cable will cross the A27 Trunk Road to the east of its junction with the A2030 Eastern Road. AECOM understand that the engineering aspects of providing a cable crossing at this point are to be dealt with by Highways England’s maintaining agent and that AECOM’s input into the process will relate primarily to the traffic capacity and road safety implications of the wider project on the Strategic Road Network (SRN).
