I hope all is well. I am looking at this planning application for 120 units. The WSP (on behalf of NH) report attached refers to a file note produced by PFA which includes trip rates and modelling information, however there is no PFA note on TBC's website and Tewkesbury BC have confirmed they do not have it. NH's planning response was based on this note, and therefore legally it should be in the public domain. Can we please obtain a copy of it? https://publicaccess.tewkesbury.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=RMH1YCQD0PB00

I was again restricted to 60mph westbound on the M4 on Saturday 4 May 2024 @10:30 With the political statement “Speed Limit for air quality” I expect speed restrictions for safety reasons not arbitrary political dogma. I do not want the response you gave last year when you miscalculated the delay your signage caused. By not answering a question I asked but answering a question you chose to give a misleading shorter period of delay. I am not interested even if you get the calculation correct, this delay when multiplied by every journey on this Motorway is exacerbating the cost of living crisis. As I stated previously stated there is no incentive to go Electric as your “smart” signage is dumb with no differentiation for polluting vehicle. The effect of arbitrary restriction is against my human rights. I wish to challenge your right to impose it. Under the freedom of information I would like you to confirm to me: Who approved this restriction, was it: An apparatchik in the highways Agency based on their own personal politics? A direction by a political organisation and if so who: the local council or the mayor of London or Department for transport? Please state the scientific level of air quality at which this restriction is applied? How many days in 2024 this restriction was actioned?

Having read about the axing of the Stone Henge road tunnel project today - I am horrified to see that £166m of tax payer's money has been spent on the planning process and I request that a breakdown of these costs is issued for us to see how this was spent. The planning process is crippling the industry and I want to understand more.
