Proposed Road Upgrade To The A30 Gets Accepted For Examination
The application from Cornwall Council for the proposed road upgrade to the A30 between Temple and Carblake has been accepted for examination.
The application for the proposed road improvements was submitted on 15 August 2013 and the decision to accept the application to proceed has been made in accordance with section 55 of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended by the Localism Act 2011).
The proposed development would involve widening the A30 Trunk road for a distance of 2.8 miles between Temple and Higher Carblake and realigning the existing carriageway to provide additional lanes, central reserve and verges. Junctions will be removed in favour of three separate bridges located at strategic locations along the improved route. The number of direct private accesses onto the A30 will be reduced.
When considering whether or not to accept an application for examination, the Secretary of State has regard to the application documents submitted, any adequacy of consultation representations received from local authorities, and the extent to which the developer has had regard to any guidance issued. Other matters relating to the application will be considered by the Examining Authority during the examination. Interested parties will have an opportunity to take part in that process and make representations if they wish.
The 'Acceptance to proceed' decision and a copy of the application can be viewed at the A30 Temple to Higher Carblake Improvement page on the Planning Inspectorate’s National Infrastructure Planning website.
It is now for the applicant, Cornwall Council, to publicise the fact that its application has been accepted to proceed to examination and invite people who are interested in the proposal to register with the Planning Inspectorate as an interested party by making a relevant representation.
Sir Michael Pitt, Chief Executive of The Planning Inspectorate, said: "After careful consideration, on behalf of the Secretary of State we have decided that the application submitted by Cornwall Council met the required tests set out in the legislation to be accepted for examination.
"The applicant must now decide when to publicise the fact that its application has been accepted to proceed to examination and announce when members of the public will be able to register with The Planning Inspectorate as an interested party in the application."
