A30 Carland Cross to Chiverton Cross Improvement

Proposed Route

The proposed route includes:

l

l

Replacement of the existing roundabout at Chiverton Cross with a grade-separated junction.

A new underbridge at Trevissome on the A3075 enabling traffic to travel to Newquay, passing to the North of Four Burrows.

l

l

A new grade-separated junction at Chybucca. Access to properties in the area will be maintained using the grade-separated junction and the existing A30.

A route that runs to the South of Tresawsen and then to the North of Marazanvose, before linking into the Zelah bypass.

l

l

l

A new grade-separated junction at the existing Two Burrows underbridge. The route remains online along a widened Zelah bypass with improvements to the vertical alignment.

A new bridge located South of Penny-Come-Quick. The bridge and associated junction when combined with the existing Boxheater Junction will allow access in all directions.

A new grade-separated junction at Carland Cross replacing the existing at grade roundabout.

Environmental Mitigation

The route selection process has minimised the adverse impacts of the proposed road by avoiding sensitive environmental constraints as far as possible. Any remaining impacts will be reduced or eliminated with environmental mitigation measures. Details of the measures will be finalised later in the design process.

The aim of environmental mitigation is to reduce adverse impacts of the scheme. Examples include:

Reinforcing local landscape character by using landscape features that are typical of the area. Screening properties with planting to minimise visual impacts.Creation of earthwork screens to reduce traffic noise.Blending the scheme into the surrounding environment using local materials.Retaining and restoring natural features.

Environmental Mitigation Measures

l

lll

l l

l

Minimising adverse impacts on the historic environment by avoiding sites of cultural heritage interest and recording those sites that are likely to be affected. Creating replacement habitat e.g. heathland.

Tree and shrub planting of native species, to provide visual screening and habitat for wildlife.

Improvement of existing water quality of road run-off within wetland balancing ponds. These may also provide new

wetland habitats.

Fencing for badgers to deter access onto the new road.

Earthwork screen for noise reduction.

Fencing for reptiles and amphibians to ensure exclusion from the road.

Underpasses for species such as badger, otter and bat, to maintain habitat links and reduce road deaths.

Bat boxes to enhance the existing habitat.

Ecology

Further studies will be undertaken to identify the presence of sensitive habitats and species. However, preliminary surveys and consultations indicate that a number of protected or otherwise notable species have been recorded or are likely to be found within the proposed road corridor. Examples are shown below.

Environmental mitigation measures will be required to reduce or eliminate any potential adverse impacts on these habitats and species.

Badger (Meles meles)

Newlyn Downs cSAC

A number of bat species are found in this area including Greater and Lesser

Horseshoes

Dorset Heath (Erica ciliaris)

Otter (Lutra lutra)

Dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius)

Between Carland Cross and Chiverton Cross, the existing A30 passes through agriculturally improved pasture and arable land. The wildlife interest of such habitat is mostly restricted to the hedgebanks which form the field boundaries.

In other places, however, habitats and species of considerable nature conservation interest occur within the highway estate or in close proximity to it. Examples include woodland and heathland - several heathland sites are of either national or international importance.

There is one candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC) within the study area, Newlyn Downs. There are also two Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) within the study area; Newlyn Downs and the components of Carrick Heath SSSI.

Newlyn Downs cSAC is notable because it contains habitat types that are rare or threatened within a European context. Habitats represented include European dry heath as well as Temperate Atlantic wet heath, with Erica ciliaris (Dorset heath) and Erica tetralix (Cross-leaved heath).

Adder (Vipera berus)

Skylark (Alauda arvensis)

Archaeology

The study corridor is rich in archaeological interest from prehistoric times up to the industrial age and includes significant Bronze Age barrow groups. The cluster at Four Burrows is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Cornwall.

The early Bronze Age is characterised by the multiplication of burial mounds and other monuments, around which a mobile lifestyle centred on grazing continued. This pattern is evident within the study corridor, where there are a large number of grouped or single round barrows.

Initial geophysical survey carried out for the scheme has shown that buried enclosures of Iron Age or Roman date have remained undetected as cropmarks, and that extensive archaeology may exist in close proximity to the 'rounds' (or earthworks).

Further enclosed sites may be discovered when more detailed surveys are carried out in the future.

Many of the burial barrows that have been identified are situated at prominent locations such as hilltops and the barrows may also have acted as territorial markers and landmarks. This may have led to the early development of a routeway along the approximate line of what is now the A30. The proposed route has been developed to avoid sites of cultural heritage interest where possible. One of the key mitigation objectives of the scheme is to reunite both the Four Burrows and Carland Cross barrow groups and improve their landscape setting.

Your Views

What happens next?The public consultation period ends on 22nd July 2004. We will then analyse the views and comments received, and report our findings to the Secretary of State. The results of the consultation will be made public.

Subject to what we learn from the public consultation, we will ask Ministers to confirm the proposed route as the Preferred Route. It is anticipated that there will be an announcement this year. The Preferred Route would then be protected from development.

The development and progress of the scheme will follow the key stages indicated on the flowchart opposite. Following the announcement of the Preferred Route, a contractor would be appointed to carry out the detailed design, leading to the publication of draft Orders and an Environmental Statement.

The publication of the draft Orders marks the start of the statutory procedures, beginning with a 3 month period for people to comment or object to our published proposals. Any comments made at the public consultation stage will not affect any person’s right to make representations or objections when the draft Orders are published later. A Public Inquiry may have to be held if objections cannot be resolved.

The Highways Agency

The Highways Agency is responsible for the management and maintenance of the motorway and trunk road network in England.

We aim to deliver a high quality service to all our customers by making journeys more reliable through improved safety, better management of the network and by the provision of accurate and current information about the state of the network.

The Highways Agency Information Line (HAIL) can provide the information to help travellers plan their journeys by advising on the location and duration of roadworks. You can contact HAIL by phoning 08457 50 40 30. You can also contact HAIL if you have any queries about the motorway and trunk road network in England.

The line is staffed from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 5pm at weekends and on public holidays. Out of those hours, customers can leave a voicemail message that will be picked up by the operators when the line re-opens the following morning.

You can also get information about the work of the Highways Agency, including our planned motorway and trunk road maintenance and road improvement schemes by visiting our website: www.highways.gov.uk.

If you do have to drive through roadworks, please take extra care.Keep to the speed limit - it is there for your safety.Get into the correct lane in good time - don’t keep switching.Concentrate on the road ahead, not the roadworks.Be alert for works traffic leaving or entering roadworks.Keep a safe distance - there could be queues in front.Observe all signs - they are there to help you.

Remember that tiredness kills.Take regular breaks from driving.
