CONTEXT In the Toton/Chilwell area of Nottinghamshire, there’s a development site consisting of the Toton Strategic Location for Growth (TSLG) and the contiguous Chetwynd Barracks (CB). Broxtowe Borough Council, as Planning Authority, has produced the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) published at https://www.broxtowe.gov.uk/media/10328/toton-and-chetwynd-spd-february-2023.pdf . The SPD envisages that TSLG&CB will provide 4,500 homes and 6,500 jobs. The SPD mentions a Local Connectivity Study by Mott MacDonald. Presumably Nottinghamshire County Council is also involved, as Highway Authority. The map on Pages 48-49 of the SPD envisages various new roads within the TSLG&CB development, with corresponding new junctions onto the A52. … Between M1 Junction 25 and Bardill’s junction, the SPD envisages new slip-roads from the A52 eastbound carriageway, and onto the A52 westbound carriageway. … Between Bardill’s junction and the Bramcote roundabout, the SPD envisages a new junction between the A52 and a “link road” into the TSLG&CB development. REQUESTS If National Highways has made any comments on the proposals for new slip-roads onto/from the A52 -- between M1 Junction 25 and Bardill’s junction -- please may I have a copy of your comments. If National Highways has made any comments on the proposals for a junction between the “link road” and the A52 -- between Bardill’s junction and the Bramcote roundabout -- please may I have a copy of your comments. If National Highways has made any counter-proposal – for a scheme for connecting the TSLG&CB development to the A52 that’s different from the scheme shown on Pages 48-49 of the SPD – please may I have a copy of your counter-proposal.
