  • Warwick District Council Local Plan Examination
    Warwick District Council Local Plan Examination Matter 7c: Proposed housing site allocations, safeguarded land and direction for growth (Edge of Coventry) Written Statement by Warwickshire County Council A46 Link Road November 2016 1. Purpose of the Statement The purpose of this statement is to provide the Local Plan Inspector and those attending the Examination in relation to Matter 7c with details of the proposed A46 Link Road. It is not designed to form a rebuttal to any individual representations which have been made in response to the questions posed by the Inspector on Matter 7c. 2. Context Warwickshire County Council, in conjunction with Coventry City Council and Warwick District Council, is exploring ambitious proposals to ensure that the sub-region and its economy continues to benefit from a high quality transport network which supports access to jobs, improved business to business connectivity and sustainable housing and employment growth. Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is joining with its Coventry and Warwickshire partners to explore these proposals. Coventry and Warwickshire has the fastest growing economy within the West Midlands. Infrastructure investment is needed in key corridors such as the A45 and A46 to provide the conditions for businesses to continue to invest in the area. An efficient transport network with sufficient capacity and resilience is key to maintaining and supporting future growth. The current major investment at Tollbar End near Coventry on the A45/A46 along with committed improvements at Binley (A46/A428) and Stanks near Warwick (A46/A425/A4177) demonstrate the importance of this corridor to the sub-regional economy. There is also an aspiration over time to see the A46 become an ‘Expressway’ between the M6/M69, M40 and M5.
