We support the HW1 policy which outlines the requirement for new development to
ensure access by inclusive, active, and environmentally sustainable form of travel and
through promoting road safety and managing the negative effects of road traffic, and look
forward to working with the authorities to facilitate such travel where interface with the
SRN occurs.
National Highways is committed to continue to work with the Black Country authorities in
a collaborative and constructive manner to support the progression of the Black Country
Plan. As part of this approach we will work with you to develop a greater understanding
of the impact of development allocated within the draft plan on the SRN.
We trust that the above is useful in the progression of the Black Country Plan and
welcome continued discussions with the Council to this end.
