Highways England is proposing to improve the A428 between Black Cat and Caxton Gibbet by constructing a new 10-mile dual carriageway with better junctions.
Following a number of consultations, Highways England has submitted its application to the planning inspectorate for a development consent order, which has been accepted for examination. If granted, Highways England will have compulsory powers to construct the scheme.
The NFU has submitted an outline representation ahead of the examination highlighting key areas of concern. These include: habitat mitigation, accommodation works, temporary use of land, agricultural drainage and soils.
