By North Lincolnshire’s ‘Local Plan’ is nearing completion
Residents and local businesses are being invited to comment on the final stages of North Lincolnshire Council’s ‘Local Plan’, which is nearing completion.
The plan includes amendments to the route of the planned Barton-upon-Humber link road, the council confirmed.
In a statement, the Council said:
“The proposals – which will take HGVs out of Barton centre – are the result of detailed conversations with people from across the town and nearby villages”
“The proposed link road would join the A1077/ Falkland Way to Caistor Road and connect to the A15 Bonby Lodge interchange via the B1206”, they added.
The council hope the new revisions will reduce traffic around the town centre, with the environment taken into consideration, whilst also enabling the town to grow.
Additional amendments to the plan will include changes to the designation of land at Barnetby Top, the provision of roadside retail areas and the provision of a cemetery extension off Falkland Way in Barton.
The Local Plan coincides with the Council’s vision to develop a better North Lincolnshire which is why they are inviting residents, communities, and businesses to offer their opinions pertaining to the proposed plans.
“The Local Plan sets the overall strategy for development in North Lincolnshire up to 2038”, the Council said.
“It contains key strategic policies, detailing land for new jobs and the number of new homes to be built in the area”, they added.
