Issue: 2 Rev: 1 Date: 29/06/2006 CBBADL490 Non-Technical Summary Introduction An application for detailed planning permission has been submitted to Northampton Borough Council by English Partnerships and the Northamptonshire County Council for a proposed Cross Valley Link Road (CVLR) to be constructed on the western outskirts of Northampton, across the River Nene floodplain. If approved, it will connect with the previously approved but as yet un-constructed ‘CVLR-South’ road scheme, to provide a complete road link between the A45 Weedon Road and A45 Upton Way/Danes Camp Way roundabout. Halcrow Group Ltd has undertaken an Environmental Assessment of the scheme in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 and the Highways Agency Guidance, ‘Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Volume 11, Environmental Assessment’ (DoT, 1993 as amended). The assessment is consistent with the framework set out in the Northampton Cross Valley Link Road Environmental Scoping Report submitted to the West Northamptonshire Development Corporation in May 2006. This non-technical summary briefly describes the proposal and summarises the Environmental Statement, which is presented in two volumes. The background, context, description and assessment of the Proposed Scheme is provided in Volume 1. Also within Volume 1 are the Environmental Impact Tables required by DMRB, in which the effects of the Proposed Scheme are set out according to the different groups affected. The technical material supporting the assessment is compiled as Appendices in Volume 2. The Site and Surrounding Area The application site is approximately 7.8 hectares, located on the western periphery of Northampton town centre. The proposed route corridor is approximately 1.45 kilometres in length and traverses the River Nene floodplain. The application site and its surroundings are managed as farmland, although there are separate Doc No: CVLR-ES Vol 1. Issue: 2 Rev: 1 Date: 29/06/2006 (CBBADL490) i proposals underway for new residential, commercial and industrial land to be developed at the northern and southern extremities of the proposed road. The Proposed Scheme The proposed link road is key infrastructure for the Northampton South West District and is identified in both the Northampton Borough Council Local Plan and the Milton Keynes and Southern District Sub-Regional Strategy (2005). The Proposed Scheme will provide a direct 1.45km road link between residential and employment land being developed on either side of the River Nene floodplain, and contribute to the regeneration aspirations of English Partnerships and the Northamptonshire County Council. The Proposed Scheme links Upton Lodge and Pineham Employment Precinct, relieving congestion on the A45 road network. It provides an additional link across the River Nene floodplain and incorporates footways and a cycleway (on the east side of the road) to ensure safe movement for all travellers across the River Nene. The engineering design is for a Category B road with 70kph (40mph) design speed and 7.3m wide carriageways, incorporating a three-span bridge across the River Nene floodplain (which requires the minor realignment of a 150 metre length of the River Nene). Two controlled crossing points are provided that are suitable for walkers, cyclists and equestrians, as well as high quality directional lighting to respect the sensitive wildlife of the site and surroundings, a sustainable drainage system to prevent flooding and minimise pollution, and extensive landscaping to minimise the visual impact of the road embankments. Alternatives to Development A number of alternatives were considered, both in terms of alignment location and engineering design. Based on extensive stakeholder workshops, statutory agency consultation and public consultation in 2006, the design for the Proposed Scheme was determined by English Partnerships and Northamptonshire County Council. Doc No: CVLR-ES Vol 1. Issue: 2 Rev: 1 Date: 29/06/2006 (CBBADL490) ii Cultural Heritage An assessment was made of potential effects on archaeological and cultural heritage features. There are no sites of international or national archaeological or cultural heritage significance within the areas directly or indirectly impacted by the Proposed Scheme. This means there are no Listed Buildings or Scheduled Ancient Monuments within the proposed route of the scheme. However, eight archaeological sites of minor significance will be directly impacted by the road. There would be a Minor to Moderate Adverse effect on four of those known archaeological receptors and a Neutral affect on the four others. There is also the potential for further unknown sites to exist along the proposed route, indicated by a variety of previously detected sites in the vicinity of the study area.

  • MILTON MALSOR PARISH COUNCIL Website
    MILTON MALSOR PARISH COUNCIL Website: www.miltonmalsorparishcouncil.org.uk Correspondence to the Clerk, Mrs Ann Addison The Paddocks, Baker Street, Gayton, Northampton, NN7 3EZ Tel: & Email: 28th July 2018 The Planning Inspectorate, National Infrastructure Planning, Temple Quay House, 2, The Square, BRISTOL, BS1 6PN Dear Sirs, PINS is requested to register Milton Malsor Parish Council as an ‘Interested Party in respect of the DCO application by Roxhill Developments. 1. The West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (WNJCS) completed, found to be sound by PINS and formally adopted in 2014 specifically rejected a request from a developer (Ashfield Land) to include provision for a SRFI. The strategy states that new rail freight interchanges are not deliverable within the plan period and that major new industrial development should be focussed on three sites ie. Silverstone DIRFT and around the M1 junction 16. 2. The WNJCS aims to achieve a balance between providing housing and jobs. An SRFI development would create jobs far in excess of the WNJCS plans. Insufficient housing coupled with the exceedingly low unemployment rate in the local area would mean that the majority of employees would have to travel some considerable distance to the site adding to traffic congestion thereby defeating the objective of removing traffic from the roads. 3. DIRFT, the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal, which is nearby and serves the local area has sufficient capacity for expansion until 2031. 4. The SRFI site proposed by Roxhill is an important ‘Local Gap’ and is a large area of open countryside separating the urban area of Northampton and the rural area of South Northamptonshire.
