Recommendations 1.1 That the Executive Member for Environment and Transport approves the Project Appraisal for the M27 Junction 9 and Parkway South Roundabout scheme (“the Scheme”), as outlined in this report subject to confirmation of the County Council’s Capital Programme. 1.2 That subject to the acquisition of all necessary land interests, approval be given to procure and spend and enter into necessary contractual arrangements, in consultation with the Head of Legal Services, including any necessary agreements with Highways England, to implement the proposed improvements to M27 Junction 9, Whiteley Way and Parkway South Roundabout, as set out in the supporting report, at an estimated cost of £22.230million to be funded from a combination of Highways England Growth and Housing Fund, Highways England Congestion Relief Fund, Local Transport Plan funding and developer contributions. 1.3 That authority to make the arrangements to implement the Scheme, including minor variations to the design or contract, be delegated to the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment. 2. Executive Summary 2.1 The purpose of this paper is to seek approval for the implementation of the Scheme to improve M27 Junction 9 and Parkway South Roundabout, Whiteley, at an estimated cost of £22.230million. 2.2 The M27 is a critical, strategic corridor in southern Hampshire which helps to keep the economy moving but at peak times queues caused by congestion at Junction 9 can extend back several kilometres along the motorway. The Scheme is essential to improve traffic flow and journey times in the area. Both junctions currently experience severe congestion in the morning and Page 5 evening peak periods and traffic queuing on the motorway off-slips at Junction 9 causes operational and safety issues on the M27 mainline. Furthermore, in the morning peak hour, congestion at Parkway South Roundabout can regularly block back to Junction 9, while in the evening peak hour congestion at Junction 9 frequently blocks back to Parkway South Roundabout. 2.3 The congestion is judged to be detrimentally impacting business attraction and retention in two large regionally significant adjacent Business Parks, Solent and Segensworth, located to the north and south of Junction 9 respectively. 2.4 The Scheme developed by the County Council will provide a significant increase in traffic capacity at both junctions, which forecasts suggest will be sufficient to alleviate the existing congestion issues and provide spare capacity to accommodate traffic associated with future developments. 3. Background 3.1 In late 2015 Highways England (HE) withdrew funding for its improvement scheme at M27 Junction 9, following a review of budget. The HE scheme was limited to widening of the off-slips and did not address the capacity problems on the roundabout circulatory carriageway or on the local road network. 3.2 Around the same time the County Council commenced work to develop a feasibility improvement scheme for the Parkway South Roundabout. This junction was identified for improvements by the promoters of the ‘North Whiteley’ development, but the County Council considered that the proposed improvements did not offer sufficient future capacity and elected to develop its own scheme to fully address the forecast congestion issues. A financial contribution from the ‘North Whiteley’ developers towards this junction has been secured instead via Section 106 agreement. This contribution forms a critical component of the funding for the Scheme now proposed. 3.3 Following discussions with HE, the County Council submitted a bid to the HE Growth and Housing Fund (GHF) in March 2016, for funding towards improvements to Parkway South Roundabout and M27 Junction 9. 3.4 Bid information was re-submitted during late summer 2016, and the resulting new preferred scheme developed by the County Council reflects the operational dependency between the two junctions and provides enhanced capacity and safety improvements. 3.5 Subsequent to this the County Council has undertaken further scheme appraisal work to satisfy the requirements of the HE bid assessment process including traffic modelling, economic and cost/benefit appraisal and environmental assessments. The appraisal demonstrated the Scheme to have a ‘very high’ value for money. Page 6 3.6 In September 2017 the Executive Member for Environment and Transport delegated authority
