Iam writing this letter in connection of the proposed by pass of the A556 .Would like to draw your attention to some of the following points. ? I wish to be registered as an interested party ? The summery document (SD) was extremely misleading in several aspects diagrams illustrate all Mere properties but do not acknowledge the homes to the west of the road. ? H A stated that they would be contacting land owners and their representatives in advance of the public consultation. The principle landowners in Millington whose land will be most severely affected have only recently been approached. ? A model of the proposed road should have been made to enable local people to visualise the devastating effect it would have on local communities, business and people?s lives. ? How can you say the road is going to transform people lives by being environmentally friendly when you can?t stop car pollution, accidents can happen on any road. ? Too expensive, we have a 556 already work with the one you have don?t just put it in the middle of fields.

Advice given

Your comments have been noted and will remain on our file.

This proposal is currently at the pre-application stage. As you are aware the Highways Agency undertook consultation recently and the deadline for submitting comments to the Highways Agency on this proposal was 16 April 2012. I am unsure as to whether you have responded directly to the Highways Agency with your comments within their deadline, if not you may wish to send them your comments.

As your letter raises concerns with the consultation being carried out you may also wish to send a copy of your correspondence to the relevant local authority for this area. When the application is submitted to The Planning Inspectorate, local authority consultees will be invited to provide their comments on the adequacy of the developer?s consultation. Following the submission of the application, a decision will be made within 28 days as to whether the application can be accepted for examination.

If the application is accepted for examination, there will be the opportunity to register your views with The Planning Inspectorate and participate in the examination by completing a relevant representation form. Details about how and when to register will be publicised by the developer. Please note that you are unable to register as an interested party during the current (pre-application) stage of the process for this proposal.

Further information about how to participate in the application process can be found in our advice notes. I have attached links below to two advice notes which may be of particular interest:
