Case Officer’s Report
Members of the public are permitted to attend in person (as spectators), so it would be great to have a significant number of residents of Chiswell Green present to demonstrate the strength of opposition to this development.
In their response to the application they stated:
“NH are responsible for the monitoring, management, and maintenance of the SRN.
Within the vicinity of the proposed development, the primary junctions of interest to NH
are M25 Junction 21a to the south of the site, and the A414/North Orbital Road/ Watling
Street (‘Park Street’) Roundabout to the northeast of the site.
The proposed distribution of the development is assigned to be the following:
Based on the findings of the trip generation assessment the Applicant needs to consider
the impact on the M25 Junction 21A and Park Street Roundabout in line with the Circular
02/2013, which may require a capacity assessment including a review of the likely
distribution.
At present there is no committed improvement scheme for the M25 Junction 21A, and
National Highways would request the applicant sets out the impact of the proposed
development on the SRN.
Consideration should be given to review the most recent five-year period of personal
injury collision (PIC) at the M25 Junction 21A and Park Street Roundabout, to ensure
there are no underlying highway issues which may be exacerbated by the proposed
development.
Considering the above, National Highways recommends that planning permission not
be granted for a further period of three months, from the date of this notice, to allow the
applicant time to submit additional supporting information. ”
