Statement of Case

A428 Caxton Common to Hardwick Improvement

1.0 Introduction

1.1 This statement represents the main statement of case for the Highways Agency in support of the A428 Caxton Common to Hardwick Improvement ("the Scheme").

1.2 The Highways Agency's case will be supported by separate proofs of evidence detailing the following matters in more depth:

  1. Engineering - Pauline Townsend
  2. Traffic and Economics - David Black
  3. Landscape - Rupert Lovell
  4. Noise and Vibration - Roy Goodman

1.3 The specialist supporting witnesses are all members of the Parsons Brinckerhoff design team who are employed as independent consultants by the Highways Agency. Other evidence may be presented if required to expand on issues that may emerge during the course of the Inquiries.

1.4 The proposals for the Scheme, which have been developed over a number of years, have been published as draft Orders and are described in this statement. The proposals are those which, on the basis of a careful appraisal by the Secretary of State's advisors on engineering, economic, environmental and amenity considerations, are considered to be the best solution to the problems described in Section 4 below.
