The full Statutory Consultation Report for our proposed M5 Junction 10 Improvements Scheme has been published today. The report includes details of the changes we have made to our proposals, based on feedback received during the consultation. You can find the report on our scheme webpage.
About the report
The report provides an in-depth explanation of how the statutory consultation was carried out and how the responses received have been analysed and considered, along with an overview of the effectiveness of the consultation and an outline of the next steps for the proposed scheme. It has been published as part of our requirements for communicating with stakeholders and the public. An accompanying audio guide has also been produced. This provides an overview of the consultation and headline results.
About the consultation
The statutory consultation ran for 10 weeks from 8 December 2021 until 15 February 2022. The purpose of the consultation was to gather feedback on the three proposed scheme elements: improvements to Junction 10; the West Cheltenham Link Road (including Withybridge Lane); and widening of the A4019 Tewkesbury Road (including Gallagher Retail Park junction). A total of 579 survey responses were received during the consultation period, with 74% of survey respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing with the proposed improvements to M5 Junction 10.
Next steps
The Statutory Consultation Report will feed into a DCO Consultation Report, to be submitted as part of the Council’s DCO application. This will provide greater detail of the Council’s responses to feedback received and explain any changes made or not made in response. The DCO application is planned for submission to the Planning Inspectorate in early 2023.
