  • Response on Behalf of National Parks England
    Consultation on a Draft National Policy Statement for the National Road and Rail Networks (December 2013) Response on behalf of National Parks England Submitted February 2014 Background National Parks England welcomes the opportunity to be able to comment on the “Consultation on a Draft National Policy Statement for the National Road and Rail Networks”. National Parks England collectively represents the views of the nine English National Park Authorities and the Broads Authority. The existing national road and rail network provides links to and from the English National Parks and the Broads, facilitating access for visitors to these areas. In addition goods travel to and from the National Parks via the national networks and residents of these areas utilise the Networks for travel to urban areas for employment, education and services. National Parks England recognise the importance of ensuring the efficient operation of the national road and rail networks, both for encouraging economic growth and quality of life. However, we would hope that the concerns and suggestions raised within this response, and the economic value of the English National Parks themselves are taken into account when producing the final version of the National Policy Statement for the National Road and Rail Networks. All of the English National Parks have elements of the national transport network contained within their boundary, with the exception of Exmoor. In addition, all of the National Parks also have elements of the national road or rail network passing in close proximity to their boundaries. Table 1 provides a breakdown of the English National Parks and those roads and railways within the national network that pass through or close to these National Parks.
