Planning inspector's report on north-facing slip roads on the M11 at Loughton (junction 5)

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Transport,

I am trying to obtain a copy of the report issued by the Planning Inspectorate after a public inquiry about the The M11 Motorway (Junction 5, Loughton, Essex, North Facing Slip Roads) Scheme, which was subsequently made: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1996...

This linked newspaper article refers to a 74-page report, by Planning inspector Brian Evans, issued following a 12-day public inquiry in May 1994. This is the report I am looking for:
https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/64998...

I've contacted the National Archives already and they've confirmed the records of the inquiry haven't been transferred to them.

I've already asked the Planning Inspectorate for a copy (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/1...), but they have said they don't have a copy because they consider it would have been for the Secretary of State to retain the records. Do you hold a copy of this report you can provide to me please?

Yours faithfully,

Adrian Wallis

The requester has scanned in the response they received by post and provided it to WhatDoTheyKnow.com - it has been published at:

https://files.whatdotheyknow.com/request...

The Information Commissioner would probably have expected the public
body to communicate the response by email (Section 11 of the Freedom of Information Act requires public bodies to comply with a reasonable request as to a means of correspondence) had the requester insisted on it
