Consultation documents in relation to the Barnsley West Development

The request was partially successful.

Dear Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2018, I am making a request for copies of any and all consultation documents, including e-mails, meeting minutes, presentations and all other forms of communication in relation to the Barnsley West Development (MU1 under the Local Plan, adopted January 2019).

This request focusses on the impact of the proposed development on traffic flows in the area, notably the traffic forecasts for both Opening Year and Design Year at M1 J37, both with and without the proposed scheme. I request that copies of any information which have been exchanged with Highways England, the DfT, or any other organization which has statutory responsibility for the area in question, extending from the junction of the A628 with Higham Common Road to the west, and Pogmoor Road in the east.

Additionally, I request copies of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed scheme, which should include Noise maps, Air quality impact assessments and traffic forecasts.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Raynes (MEng CEng MICE)
