Proposed Structure of the EIA Report 136 7 Part One Introduction Environmental Scoping Report Part One / Introduction Chapter 1 / Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1. The Environmental Scoping Report 1.1.1. This Environmental Scoping Report has been prepared by Capita Property and Infrastructure Ltd (the ‘Design Organisation’), acting on behalf of Cumbria County Council (the ‘Overseeing Organisation’). 1.1.2. It responds to a Screening Opinion issued by Cumbria County Council as the Local Planning Authority (LPA) on the 20th December 2019 in relation to development of a new section of highway between the villages of Grizebeck and Chapels to bypass the existing A595 in this location, known as the A595 Grizebeck Transport Improvement. 1.1.3. The LPA concluded in their Screening Opinion that “Having had regard to the characteristics of the development, the environmental sensitivity of geographical areas likely to be affected by it and the characteristics of potential impact and their significance, both singularly and cumulatively, it is the County Council’s opinion as Local Planning Authority that the proposed project constitutes EIA development”. 1.1.4. As such, an Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) and the production of an EIA report will be required to support any future planning application for the Scheme. 1.1.5. The aim of the Scoping Report is to provide sufficient information to allow the LPA to state their opinion as to the scope and level of detail of the information to be provided in the EIA report (a ‘scoping opinion’), to support any future planning application for the Scheme. 1.2. Purpose of the Scheme 1.2.1. The A595 Grizebeck Transport Improvement (the ‘Scheme’) if constructed will provide a route that bypasses a section of the A595 that is currently an accident black spot and pinch point at Dove Ford Farm, Grizebeck. 1.2.2. Crossing points would need to be provided for small two watercourses; Grize Beck and the unnamed watercourse between Grize Beck and Dove Ford Farm. 1.2.3. The Scheme is likely to bring significant benefits; in particular, it would: Improve road safety by reducing the number and seriousness of incidents by rerouting traffic away from the current accident black spot and Dove Ford Farm and make the current A595 in this location, an access- only road. Improve resilience and journey time reliability by avoiding the build- up of traffic at the current pinch point. Improve the A595 to make it suitable for freight traffic by providing a standard 7.3m- wide carriageway in place of the current narrow alignment. Support economic growth in Cumbria by improving journey times on the A595.
