A46 Newark to Widmerpool Improvement -Supplementary Orders Statement of Case August 2011 7.4 Charles Lawrence I. Mr Lawrence’s property is in residential use by him and adjoins PA Freight’s land. He currently shares the access in common with both Mr Walmsley and PA Freight. The Agency’s proposed access will provide him with a separate access and remove all conflicts with the other landowners. However, Mr Lawrence has objected on the grounds that the Compulsory Purchase Order enables the Secretary of State to compulsorily acquire his land. II. The Agency intends to acquire Mr Lawrence’s land temporarily by agreeing a licence to cleanse drainage runs and outfalls on his land. III. The Compulsory Purchase Order would, if made, provide powers to take title to the land, to enable the Agency to undertake necessary works. Title would only be taken if the licence cannot be agreed with both Mr Lawrence and PA Freight. 7.5 Six representations were received: I. Patrick Mercer, MP raised concerns about the safety and workability of the Agency’s proposals due to conflicting movements between heavy goods vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. II. Newark and Sherwood District Council raised concerns about the visual impact of the proposals and the impact on the local economy should PA Freight be forced to close down or relocate. The Agency will show that its proposals will not have an adverse effect on PA Freight’s ability to continue to operate, and to do so safely, from their current site. III. Natural England has responded indicating that they have no objections to the proposals. IV. Mrs Marjorie Clarkson, of Farndon Fields Farm, wrote expressing concerns about the quality and nature of the work affecting her access, which is currently being undertaken and will be addressed by the contractors. This is not a valid representation to the draft Orders V. Mrs Donna Paver, of 153 Farndon Road, Farndon, raised concerns about access to her property. Mrs Paver also raised concerns about the physical impact of the proposals as regards visual impact and an increased number of parking bays within PA Freight’s lorry park. The Agency is satisfied that her access will not be adversely affected by the proposals and her concerns can be addressed by detailed design. As regards the changes within the lorry park, there is no increase in the number of parking bays and lengthening them would have little or no impact. The lorry park does not move closer to Mrs Paver’s property. 14
A46 Newark to Widmerpool Improvement -Supplementary Orders Statement of Case August 2011 VI. Michael and Ann Rowen, David Rowen and Elizabeth Rowen, of Cropwell Court , Cropwell Butler, Leicestershire wrote saying that the scope of the Public Inquiry into the draft Orders should be widened to address their concerns and appraise the merits of the proposed installation of MS3 signs adjacent to their property. The installation of MS3 signs on the A46 Trunk Road is not a matter for consideration under the draft Orders and therefore is not a valid representation. The Secretary of State has a duty to provide signing to give directions and ensure safety of the travelling public. 15
