Warren Hall Strategic Business Park - construction of the A55 Warren Bank Interchange Improvements. (Saesneg yn unig)
LINK The Welsh Assembly The Deputy First Minister has agreed to the implementation of a County Road Scheme by FCC under Highways legislation, implementing existing planning consent granted 15th October 2004, in relation to the procurement of the Warren Bank Interchange Improvements.
Date of decision / Dyddiad y penderfyniad:
5th August 2008
Statement of information / Datganiad gwybodaeth:
Planning consent for the development of the Warren Hall Business Park was issued to the Welsh Assembly Government by Flintshire County Council on 21st April, 2008. This consent requires the improvement of the adjacent A55 Warren Bank Interchange to be up-graded before the business park can be occupied. A separate planning consent was previously granted on 15th October, 2004 for the Interchange improvements. These included the provision of two additional easterly slip roads to create an “all way interchange” together with the creation of two additional roundabouts on the A5104, either side of the A55.
Warren Bank Interchange has a grade-separated junction with 2 slip-roads only (eastbound-off and westbound-on). Existing traffic travelling in the opposite direction goes through Broughton (county roads) to access / egress the A55 at the next interchange (eastbound-on and westbound-off). With the expansion of Airbus (A380 Wing Facility) and the Retail Park in recent years, a greater demand is now placed on the existing county highway network to serve the area of Broughton than was envisaged when the Warren Hall Interchange was previously approved in 1998. As highlighted within the Transport Impact Assessment for Broughton, Flintshire County Council view the construction of the new eastbound-on slip-road and westbound-off slip-road as being of network benefit to the area, by providing a 20% reduction in traffic passing through Broughton village to link onto the A55 to and from the east, thereby significantly improving environmental and highway safety conditions within local communities.
In order to facilitate the delivery of the slip roads, which would be constructed entirely on land within Assembly Government ownership, Flintshire County Council wishes to implement the works as a “County Highway Scheme”. The Council, as local highway authority, is satisfied that this scheme has network benefits for the county highway network and traffic congestion as well as direct economic benefits to both Warren Hall and the Airbus Facility at Broughton. The Council would utilise its powers conferred by the Highways Act 1980 by implementing the planning permission granted for the scheme in October 2004 (planning reference 036330).
The Minister for the Economy and Transport is being asked to consider the relative merits of the above scheme which is critical to the successful development of the Warren Hall Business Park.
The above scheme will be very retrograde for Chester Rd, Corwen Rd, Wrexham Rd environments in the village of Penyffordd.
