Julian Swainson has asked me to respond to your email of 27 September. Please accept my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I enclose for your information a copy of a summary of the assessment of this proposal. This is in the public domain and you are free to use it as you see fit. Please note that the sketch shown on the assessment summary is purely indicative and was prepared to enable the preliminary assessment to be carried out.
It is important to note that no decisions have been made about the preferred route of a possible relief road and that the proposal has no status in planning terms.
