In addition to the proposed housing delivery within the existing main urban area of Warrington, the development of the South East Warrington Urban Extension (SEWUE) and Fiddler?s Ferry (FF) sites are particularly of interest to National Highways due to expected impacts on the M56 / M6 interchange and M62 corridor respectively.

the development of the new employment areas at the South East Warrington Employment Area (SEWEA) and Fiddler?s Ferry (FF) sites will be of interest to National Highways due to expected impacts on the M56 / M6 interchange and M62 corridor respectively.

National Highways support the section of policy which states that developments must mitigate their impact or improve the performance of Warrington?s Transport Network, including the Strategic Road Network. Other aspects that National Highways support include those which focus on improving the provision for non-car modes, as this may assist in reducing single occupation car trips within and across the Borough. Furthermore, National Highways support the policy that Transport Assessments must demonstrate that trips generated by a development can adequately be served by the SRN, or identify appropriate infrastructure mitigation measures before a development is brought into use

The allocation is supported by policies including a Development Framework to ensure that transport infrastructure identified by a Transport Assessment is delivered, and that an area-wide Travel Plan is mplemented on the site. Improvements to the SRN are highlighted in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan.

It is considered that the transport evidence provided at this stage is strong, displaying evidence throughout to be able to inform National Highways of the impact of the plan proposals at the SRN, at both an individual site allocation level, and on a cumulative basis.

The technical note submitted as part of the Local Plan evidence base does not include M56 Junction 11 in its study area, as the purpose of the note is to demonstrate the impact of the Local Plan on the WWL scheme itself. Along with a number of comments, it is noted that the assessment concludes that ?the developments could have a significant impact on the Western Link?. As such, it is suggested that further assessments are undertaken at M56 Junction 11 to account for both the Local Plan growth, and the delivery of the WWL scheme over the life of the Plan.

it is noted that the IDP is intended as a ?live? document. This should ensure that any infrastructure identified later in the plan process can still be included.

It is recommended that a separate, topic specific Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) for transport is written and agreed.
