Appendix B Appendix C Appendix D Appendix E Appendix F 5.1 December 2014 iv A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme Consultation Report Foreword The Highways Agency has undertaken an on-going programme of consultation with the local community and wider stakeholders and has considered the feedback received in the development of the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme (“the scheme”). The Highways Agency fully recognises the benefits of pre-application consultation. Pre-application consultation is a statutory requirement for Development Consent Order (DCO) applications under the Planning Act 2008 , whilst associated guidance also promotes additional informal non-statutory engagement. Pre-application consultation has helped shape the scheme so that it better addresses the needs of stakeholders, affected parties and the wider public whilst achieving the scheme’s objectives. Consultation and engagement has also helped to increase awareness and understanding by the public. As a result of pre- application consultation important issues have been considered and addressed, where appropriate to do so, in advance of the submission of the DCO application to the Secretary of State (SoS). From 7 April to 15 June 2014, the Highways Agency held a statutory period of pre- application consultation on the scheme, following an earlier non-statutory route options consultation carried out in autumn 2013. There was also further statutory consultation after June 2014 as additional land interests were identified. In addition, a programme of non-statutory consultation and engagement activities has also taken place. This Consultation Report is submitted alongside the DCO application in accordance with section 37 of the Planning Act 2008 . It details how the Highways Agency has complied with the pre-application consultation requirements set out in the Planning Act 2008 , secondary legislation and associated guidance. It provides a full account of the Highways Agency’s approach to consultation and the feedback received, and demonstrates how the Highways Agency has taken that feedback into account. It is supported by the Consultation Report Appendices (document reference 5.2). The report details consultation responses by reference to each element of the scheme and by key topics raised, such as environment and traffic. It also reports feedback by consultee strand, in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act 2008 . This includes local communities and key stakeholders (section 47), local authorities (section 42(1)(b)), prescribed consultees (section 42(1)(a)) and consultees with an interest in the land (section 42(1)(d)). Figure F.1 below provides a graphical representation of the consultation process. 5.1 December 2014 1 A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme Consultation Report Figure F.1: The consultation process 5.1 December 2014 2 A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme Consultation Report Executive summary Introduction The Highways Agency is proposing a scheme for the improvement and upgrade of a 30 km (19 mile) length of the strategic highway between Cambridge and Huntingdon, the widening of a 5.6 km (3.5 mile) section of the A1 between Brampton and Alconbury, and the modification and improvement of the associated local road network in the A14 corridor. These improvements are referred to as the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme (the scheme). The scheme objectives are to: • combat congestion: making the route between Huntingdon and Cambridge more reliable and providing capacity for future traffic growth; • unlock growth: enabling major residential and commercial developments to proceed, leading to increased economic growth, regionally and nationally; • connect people: by placing the right traffic on the right roads and freeing up local capacity for all types of road user, including pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians; • improve safety: designing the proposed scheme to modern highway standards, introducing better lane control, and providing adequate capacity for predicted traffic levels; and • create a positive legacy: recognising the wider benefits of the road improvement scheme for local communities and businesses.
