Table 1.1: Applicant’s comments on the Relevant Representations
Reference number Comment from Relevant Representation Response to Relevant Representation
RR-001 Jonathan Baker 1.1 I fully support the A303 Sparkford to Ilchester dualling. The dual carriageway will make safer
journeys to the West Country from the South East. I agree with the two level junctions proposed. It seems to be designed as an expressway with layby fitted with emergency telephones. My only concern is a lack of a parallel road to the north side from the proposed Camel Hill link road to the Downhead overbridge for emergency purposes.
The proposed dual carriageway has been deliberately aligned to maximise retention of the existing A303 carriageway for this use. Between the A359 (Hazlegrove) and B3151 (Camel Cross) junctions - a distance of 3.5 kilometers - a total of 2.3 kilometers of existing carriageway will be retained for this purpose. Whilst developing this aspect of the scheme, 2 major land constraints were identified which have prevented the remaining 1.2 kilometres of existing carriageway from being retained (or the provision of a new alternative). At the summit of Camel Hill there is a Scheduled Monument immediately to the north of the existing A303 and land owned by the Ministry of Defense (MOD) immediately to the south of the A303. The existing A303 carriageway passes between these 2 sites. It has been determined that a dual carriageway can also be accommodated through this corridor, although there is insufficient width to accommodate an additional single carriageway without acquisition of land from either the Scheduled Monument or the MOD. Regarding the Scheduled Monument, consultation with Historic England concluded that they would not support the scheme if proposals involved the acquisition of any land from this site. Acquiring land to the north of the A303 for a parallel local road at this location was therefore rejected. Regarding the MOD site, Highways England are not able to acquire land from the MOD by compulsion. Any land for the scheme would therefore have to be acquired through agreement. The Applicant decided that reliance on acquiring the land through agreement presented a high risk both in terms of the project’s programme and the potential for buried services in this location.
1.2 The tree planting of banks and bunds will help filter noise and improve aesthetics to the local scattered properties. The dual carriageway is long overdue and needs building as soon as possible.
Please refer to Chapter 7 Landscape of the Environmental Statement (APP-044) and Figure 2.8 Environmental Masterplan (APP-107) for details of the proposed landscaping.
RR-002 Mark Wilson 2.1 I support the dualling of this stretch of the A303 which will improve safety and road conditions for
drivers and non-motorised users. Noted.
RR-003 Paul Griffiths 3.1 Unacceptable road noise.
Having read the project plan in detail and had various communications with HE, there does not appear to be a target for road noise (reduction) and the planned road noise is not significantly different from current levels. This is not consistent with the project aim to "optimise opportunities for enhancement" of the environment and avoid unacceptable impact on the surrounding environment. In fact, the design does not try to reduce noise but for applying modern road surface materials and moving the new road a small distance north of the existing route. As an example, and consistent with other major road projects, "planted bunding" could be applied in critical locations using material removed from other road work locations on this project. Evidence exists that this would significantly reduce road noise for the local community.
Paragraph 11.3.25 of Chapter 11 Noise of the Environmental Statement (APP-048) sets out the Key Performance Indicator for Highways England to reduce noise in noise Important Areas (nIAs). Paragraphs 11.10.54 and 11.10.55 of Chapter 11 Noise of the Environmental Statement (APP-048) discuss the impact of the scheme on these nIAs and Table 11.33 of Chapter 11 Noise of the Environmental Statement (APP-048) shows this quantitatively for the design year Do-Minimum (DM) and Do-Something (DS) scenarios respectively. In the case of DM, the calculations show that both nIAs would have increases between 0 and 3 dB (classified as negligible adverse) whereas for DS the calculations show that both nIAs would be subject to noise decreases: moderate (5dB to 10dB) for nIA 3518 and minor (3dB to 5dB) for nIA 3519. Paragraph 11.9.1 of Chapter 11 Noise of the Environmental Statement (APP-048) describes the mitigation measures included in the scheme design including use of horizontal alignment, 7 noise bunds, 3 false cuttings and 4 noise barriers, and low-noise running surfaces. Tables 11.28 to 11.30 of Chapter 11 Noise of the Environmental Statement (APP-048) show the calculated changes in noise level for both the DM and DS scenarios (which are used conventionally in lieu of % reduction or increases). The project complies with the aims of the National Policy Statement for National Networks (paragraphs 11.3.6 to 11.3.9 of Chapter 11 Noise of the Environmental Statement (APP-048)) and the Noise Policy Statement for England (paragraphs 11.3.13 to 11.3.17 of Chapter 11 Noise of the
3.2 HE and my local MP are aware that I will be seeking registration as an interested party and are aware of my views.
3.3 We must not forget that this road scheme will be built to serve not only the wider community but also the local community for a number of generations. It must enhance all aspects of life. For reflection, the aircraft industry, car industry, major airport developments and the like have these targets. I can see no reason why a 50% reduction in road noise should not be targeted for the local Sparkford community.

Reference number Comment from Relevant Representation Response to Relevant Representation
3.4 In closing, please can I say that I and I would say the majority of the local community fully support this project including its timing. I am impressed with the application but I also maintain that a significant "road noise reduction" must be achieved in order to fulfil its obligations. I remain ready to discuss and review at any convenient time.
Environmental Statement (APP-048)). On the particular issue of the Sparkford Community - the noise increase of up to 1.3dB (paragraph 11.10.61 of Chapter 11 Noise of the Environmental Statement (APP-048)) is due to increased traffic on Sparkford High Street. This is because the scheme will reduce journey times between Sparkford and Ilchester making the route via the High Street more attractive to vehicles travelling from Frome to destinations south-west of Ilchester and vice-versa. It is expected that some traffic that currently uses the A361 and A37 for this route would divert to using the A361, A359 and A303 so increasing the traffic along Sparkford High Street.
RR-004 The Red Lion (Charles and Clare Garrad) 4.1 My husband and I own the Red Lion Babcary located directly off the A303. We have looked at
the submitted planning application for the A303 Sparkford to Ilchester Dualling, and we are really concerned....
Noted.
4.2 The village, let alone the Pub has been completely cut off from the south side of the A303 from the East direction in the application, and other than a huge diversion coming off at the Yeovilton turning, and going back on yourselves to go over the bridge, and then fork off to Steart Hill, we will lose the vast majority of trade for our business which makes up approximately £75,000.00.
The Red Lion is currently accessed from the A303 by vehicles turning left or right from the A303 into Steart Hill and then heading north. If travelling east, turning left into Steart Hill is straightforward, but turning right into Steart Hill if travelling west involves crossing the busy traffic on the A303. Conversely, exiting Steart Hill by turning left and travelling east is currently a straightforward manoeuvre, but turning right to travel west requires the road-user to cross the A303. A new left-in / left-out junction is proposed on the A303 eastbound carriageway approximately 600 metres from the current Steart Hill junction. This will be a higher quality junction, making the left-turn manoeuvre to and from the A303 eastbound easier than they are now with little distance added to the overall journey. If travelling west, vehicles will turn off at the new Camel Cross junction and travel back along the old A303 for approximately 900 metres, before crossing the dual carriageway on the proposed overbridge and re-joining Steart Hill using a new local road on the north of the proposed A303. This journey is approximately 3 kilometres longer than the existing right turn manoeuvre but will be easier and safer to perform during periods of heavy traffic. For vehicles wishing to re-join the A303 to travel west, the manoeuvre will be safer and easier to perform, although longer. In addition, the new overbridge may help reconnect the communities to the south, with the pub in the north. In terms of signing, the Red Lion currently has a private arrangement with local landholders to advertise in fields adjacent to the A303. These signs will have to be removed to facilitate the construction of the new road. When compared to the other option that Highways England consulted on during the non-statutory consultation, the design submitted as part of the DCO application significantly improves access from the A303 to the Red Lion due to the introduction of intermediate junctions along the route.
4.3 This plan will be Hugely detrimental to us and our business as we discussed in a meeting with the project managers at Sparkford Hall at the planning stage, and all the other public meetings. It seems that none of the practical solutions we suggested made any difference ? (Having a slip road connecting to the roundabout just past Howell Hill would have been a perfect solution ) have been ignored. Financially this will be devastating to our business, in which we employ 25 people.
4.4 Also all the signage, planning applications etc that we have paid out thousands for, and all the time it took to get it through, let alone all the information we have on our web site, customer reviews, review pages etc etc that says to visitors we are just off the A303 ? All that will become null and void.
4.5 In 15 years of improving, and reinvesting in our rural business, we are now in the position that one of our main income streams will be denied to us with this planning application. Surely central Government has a duty to rural businesses, in particular the village pub, which is central to the local community.
RR-005 Stagecoach UK Bus 5.1 Stagecoach supports the scheme in principle, given the strategic importance and necessity of the
dualling, as a key regional and national road link. Noted.
5.2 The existing and the future road accommodates both some local and a greater number of longer-distance inter-urban coach services. Not only that, but there is a strong likelihood that the A303 as a whole should be seen as needing to cater for more such use, as buses and coaches represent a greatly more efficient use of road space, and the emissions per passenger km are a fraction of personal car use, at average load factors.
5.3 It is therefore vital that the scheme design in the scope for both local bus and longer distance coach services, and in particular it should seek to take advantage of the potential to facilitate local interchange at strategic points. "Last-mile" modes are already many, including taxis, "stop and drop" with friends and relatives, and cycling.

5.4 As a major user of the SRN, and a key passenger transport operator, there is a broader question of Highways England's standard processes for preparing and designing major highways schemes. We have not be approached to date on this or any other major scheme within RIS1 nor RIS2, with a view to seeking our input as to how existing and potential bus and coach services can facilitated.
5.5 We will make observation as far as we are able on how the scheme could be amended to cost-effectively facilitate bus and coach services. It would obviously be preferable if we were to be approached much earlier in the design and consenting process, here and elsewhere.
RR-006 The British Horse Society 6.1 The British Horse Society is keen to see that all routes that are being provided so NMUs provide
for horse riders as well as walkers and cyclists. If this is not to be the case we would want to understand the reasoning for this, and why it is considered necessary to remove walkers and cyclists away from vehicular traffic but it is considered safe to leave horse riders, the most vulnerable class of NMUs, in the carriageway, and what risk assessment has been carried out to justify such a proposal. The following representations are made on the understanding that they fall within the DCO scheme:
New non-motorised user (NMU) facilities are generally proposed where required to mitigate for the severance of an existing route by the proposed scheme. These severed routes may be legal rights of way (public footpaths or bridleways) or other routes that groups such as the British Horse Society have identified during previous consultation events (such as the network of lanes and local roads either side of the existing A303). The status of proposed NMU facilities reflects the status or use of the severed route, in order to ensure continuity of use by each group of NMU. A total of 8.5 kilometres of new NMU routes are proposed on the scheme. Of these, 6.8 kilometres (80%) will be designated as bridleway status, allowing equestrians to use them. Of the remaining 1.7 kilometres, 1.5 kilometres are footways (reflecting the fact that current routes either side are only footways / footpaths) and 0.2 kilometres are shared use footway / cycleways. These footways / cycleways provide an off carriageway route around Hazlegrove Roundabout between the A359 Sparkford High Street and Camel Hill Link. Equestrians are excluded from this facility due to the likely limited use and difficulty they may experience crossing the A359 (south) arm of the Hazlegrove Roundabout.
6.2 Eastern end of Slate Lane The exit here from Slate Lane needs some furniture to warn users of the exit, one option would be to provide staggered post and rail fencing with signs on the road verge warning of horse riders and cyclists coming in from the side, or a large silhouette of a ridden horse and cyclist painted on the tarmac.
Measures to warn approaching users / drivers of this access will be considered during development of the design.
6.3 Going eastwards from the eastern end of Slate Lane The provision of a bridleway here would be beneficial. There are horses at Camel Hill and it would give them instant access to Slate Lane and the safe off road riding routes being dedicated as part of the road improvement scheme. The provision of a bridleway would also be beneficial from the road at the eastern end of Slate Lane, along the construction access route joining onto the local road at Camel Hill.
The application does not include a bridleway directly between Slate Lane and Camel Hill because a demand for this journey was not identified. Should horse-riders wish to make this journey currently it would be approximately 1.5 kilometres long and involve much of its length along the A303 trunk road. Under the scheme proposals the journey can be made by following NMU provisions denoted by the following points in the Rights of Way and Access Plans (APP-007): BW-AJ-AS-AV-AW-AX-AY-AZ-BA-BB-BL-BK-BJ-BI-BH-BG-BF-BE-BY-BD. This would be a distance of approximately 4.4 kilometres.
6.4 The Sparkford roundabout: Improvements are required to the crossing of the road to Queen Camel (A359) with cutting back of the vegetation to improve sight lines, and the cutting of a channel in the central reservation/pavement to help cyclists and buggies and remove what might be a trip step for horses. Also, the provision of a Pegasus crossing if justified by the expected traffic flow. The NMU route in the verge needs to be two-way and 4 meters wide.
Works at this site will include modifications to the splitter island at the roundabout in order to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. However, the application does not include a bridleway crossing of the A359 (south) arm of the Sparkford Roundabout because it was considered that geometric constraints at this location could not be easily overcome and therefore safe crossing facilities for equestrians could not be provided.
6.5 Plowage Lane, southern side of carriageway It is understood that the northern end of Plowage Lane will be stopped up preventing access onto the new carriageways. There is a restricted byway (Y27/27) which joins Plowage Lane just to the south of this junction. Horse riders and cyclists will need to cross the old A303 carriageway to turn eastward to the new Steart Hill bridge. A Pegasus crossing would be required here if the predicted traffic rate supports this.
An informal crossing of the former A303 carriageway is proposed at this location for equestrians. This is an uncontrolled crossing rather than a pegasus (signal controlled) crossing. A pegasus crossing is not thought to be required due to the low traffic volumes that are likely to be using the former A303 carriageway (approximately 800 vehicles per day in each direction in the design year, or 75 vehicles per hour in the peak hour).

RR-007 Queen Camel Parish Council 7.1 The Council believes that the proposed development will be of great benefit to Queen Camel but
it submits that there are three elements in the proposals which are detrimental to the local community and would cause unnecessary environmental damage in both the short and the long term:
Noted
7.2 1. The application fails to pay due regard to the environmental problems of very heavy traffic and congestion in the middle of Queen Camel when A303 traffic uses the A359 and West Camel Road to bypass slow moving traffic through the road works during the construction period. The applicant's bland assurances that traffic will be ‘managed’ through a TMP do not reassure. The Council will respectfully suggest that the DCO application include details of how the applicant will mitigate the adverse impact of self-diverting traffic.
The Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is being developed in consultation with Somerset County Council and will eventually contain measures for the prevention and mitigation of the adverse impacts of self-diverting traffic. A draft of this document is provided as Appendix B5 to the Outline Environmental Management Plan (APP-148). It should be noted that the Development Consent Order (DCO) application also involves the temporary closure of the A303 for brief periods of time and diversion of traffic along the A359 using the diversion route that is currently agreed between Highways England and Somerset County Council. The final TMP will contain details of how the impacts of this closure will be managed.
7.3 2. The unorthodox design and layout of the proposed Hazlegrove junction will have a negative environmental impact on local communities. i. It will destroy far more of the (Listed) Hazlegrove parkland than necessary. ii. it will needlessly increase the length of journeys to and from Hazlegrove School. iii. It will needlessly increase the distance travelled by traffic joining the eastbound carriageway of the A303 from the A359 (south). iv. It will encourage such traffic to take a short cut through the middle of Sparkford village. The Council will respectfully suggest that the applicant be required to consider an alternative design which would be demonstrably more environmentally sustainable and cheaper to construct.
It is unclear which environmental aspects are of concern in this Representation, although it is assumed in this response that the concern is related to additional traffic travelling along the A359 Sparkford High Street. (i) The Applicant has liaised closely with key environmental stakeholders during the development of the scheme design in order to understand the sensitivity of the Hazlegrove Registered Park and Garden (RPG) and the potential impact that the scheme may have on it. During the course of these discussions the design of the junction has evolved so that its footprint within the RPG is minimised and, where this is not possible, restricted to areas of the RPG that appear to be less sensitive. The design has also evolved to ensure that the elevation (that is, the level of the junction relative to the existing ground level) is as low as possible in order to minimise visual intrusion. Land acquisition from the Local Wildlife Site within the RPG is now minimal. Land acquisition from the RPG itself has been reduced over the course of design development from 16.4 hectares to 10.6 hectares. 7.7 hectares of the 10.6 would be required for the main carriageway regardless of whether a junction was required or not, and 2.6 hectares of the remaining 2.9 has been located within a field at the south-western corner of the RPG which has been identified during discussions with environmental stakeholders as being of relatively low value due to it being intensively farmed. The amount of RPG being impacted by the junction in terms of its footprint has therefore been minimised. (ii) Journey lengths to Hazlegrove School from the east will increase by approximately 950 metres. This is a consequence of locating the underbridge to the west of the exiting Hazlegrove Roundabout at a location where existing ground levels enable the local road to pass underneath the dual carriageway (therefore limiting the elevation) and behind a retained section of established vegetation which will provide valuable screening from key views within the RPG. Journey lengths to the school from the west will actually be reduced as a result of the scheme by approximately 200 metres. (iii) Journey lengths from the A359 to the A303 eastbound carriageway will increase by approx imately 750metres. This is a consequence of locating the underbridge to the west of the existing Hazlegrove Roundabout at a location where existing ground levels enable the local road to pass underneath the dual carriageway (therefore limiting the elevation) and behind a retained section of established vegetation which will provide valuable screening from key views within the RPG. (iv) The Applicant notes that consent is sought for the scheme as submitted.
7.4 3. The application fails to give serious consideration to the advantages of retaining the carriageway of the existing A303 for the use of local traffic, alongside the new dual carriageway between Hazlegrove and Podimore. Such a ‘parallel road’ would: i. Greatly reduce congestion on local roads during the construction period. ii. Substantially reduce both the cost and the duration of construction. iii. Give the A303 added resilience and improve access for emergency vehicles in the event of road traffic accidents on the dual carriageway. iv. 'Future proof’ the local road network when the A303 becomes an Expressway from which slow moving (including agricultural) vehicles are excluded. The Council will respectfully submit that the applicant should be required to reconsider retaining the existing A303 carriageway alongside the new dual carriageway.
The proposed dual carriageway has been deliberately aligned to maximise retention of the existing A303 carriageway for this. Between the A359 (Hazlegrove) and B3151 (Camel Cross) junctions - a distance of 3.5 kilometres - a total of 2.3 kilometres of existing carriageway will be retained for this purpose. Whilst developing this aspect of the scheme, 2 major land constraints were identified which have prevented the remaining 1.2 kilometres of existing carriageway from being retained (or the provision of a new alternative). At the summit of Camel Hill there is a Scheduled Monument immediately to the north of the existing A303 and land owned by the Ministry of Defense (MOD) immediately to the south of the A303. The existing A303 carriageway passes between these 2 sites. It has been determined that a
