National Highways has been appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport as a strategic highway company and is the highway authority, traffic authority and street authority for the Strategic Road Network (SRN). In relation to the West Burton Solar Project, our principal interest is in safeguarding the A46, A160, and A180 trunk roads; and the M180 motorway. Although the SRN is outside the Order Limits, it is understood that construction traffic will be routed via the A46, A160, and A180 trunk roads and the M180 motorway. As such, we reserve the right to make written representations if an impact of construction traffic on the SRN is identified, or if changes to the application are made which result in impacts to the SRN.
