Officer Decisions
Director of Climate Change, Environment and Transport - Meg Booth
Minor changes to the design of the A382 MRN highway improvement scheme: Greycoat Lane Earthworks.
To adopt the altered highway design to accomodate the updated highway earthworks at the A382/Forches Cross junction to accommodate the proposed highway levels at Forches Cross.
The highway design for Forches Cross junction has evolved alongside further geotechnical investigations. Cutting slopes requiring more land are required at this location.
The new design option includes pedestrian/cycle access to Greycoat Lane and its playing fields.
Previous considerations of the A382 MRN scheme (Cabinet October 2021) did not make provision for the required embankments. This option could be pursued but would require the construction of retaining walls.
None.
When Cabinet approved on 13 October 2021 the progression of the A382 scheme, the cabinet agreed to delegate minor design changes to effectively Meg Booth in consultation with the Cabinet and Local Member. A copy of Cllr Davis and Cllr Gribble’s approval can be provided upon request.
