Welcome to the consultation website for proposals at MIRA South Site, Nuneaton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horiba MIRA is the owner\u2019 of MIRA Technology Park and has recently entered into a development partnership with Evans Randall Investors to develop future phases of the new Technology Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proposals for MIRA South Site will provide new high-quality employment space, together with accesses, a new link road, landscaping, sustainable drainage and other associated infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning Application Update \u2013 December 2023<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further to the changes in relation to transport and highways design the project team continued to engage with North Warwickshire Borough Council (NWBC) and National Highways to ensure the proposed road network appropriately serves the new development and existing routes. With that in mind a further Transport Assessment Addendum (II) has been submitted to NWBC. You can download the TAA (II) here: Part 1<\/strong><\/a> ; Part 2<\/strong><\/a>: Part 3<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The changes to the previous TA Addendum are specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removal of \u201cLeft in Left Out\u201d junctions at A5\/Woodford Lane and A5\/Drayton Lane<\/strong>

This is no longer proposed and instead a financial contribution will be provided via a Section 106 Agreement to a safety enhancement scheme now to be advanced by National Highways themselves. Further detail is provided in Section 6 of the TAA(II).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrade works to Higham Roundabout on the A5<\/strong>

No works were previously proposed to this roundabout, but following discussions with National Highways, enhancements to capacity are now proposed. Further detail is provided in Section 3 of the TAA (II). For ease the proposed junction improvement design can be found here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All other proposals remain the same as submitted in October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Planning update \u2013 October 2023<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Following submission of the planning application in August 2022, North Warwickshire Borough Council undertook public consultation to obtain comments from the local community and statutory consultees on the submitted plans and documents. In response to the comments made, the project team carried out further technical work. The additional work was completed and changes in relation to transport and highways design, set out in a Transport Addendum<\/strong><\/a>, and the parameter plan<\/strong><\/a> were submitted to the council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The changes that have been made to the application are set out below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A5 junctions at Woodford Lane and Drayton Lane \u201cleft in left out\u201d<\/strong>

    The     junction design was updated<\/strong><\/a> to make the A5 junctions at Woodford Lane and Drayton Lane \u201cleft in left out\u201d (LILO) junctions only. The proposed LILO junctions at Woodford Lane and Drayton Lane were intended to be safer and prevent \u201crat running\u201d through Fenny Drayton village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Weddington Lane to be downgraded and stopped off at Caldecote<\/strong>

    The     highway design was updated<\/strong><\/a> and it was proposed for the northern section of Weddington Lane to be downgraded and stopped off at Caldecote. The proposed closure of the northern section of Weddington Lane was intended to prevent vehicular traffic using the old A444 route past Caldecote and force traffic to use the rerouting of the A444 through the MIRA South Site onto the A5 (and vice versa), which was thought to improve the amenity of Caldecote village. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    New safeguarded area to the northeast of the village hall of Caldecote<\/strong><\/strong>

    The parameter plan was updated to include a proposed new safeguarded area to the northeast of the village hall of Caldecote. The safeguarded area ensures that no building over 10m can be developed within 150m of the village hall. This change will further protect the setting of the Caldecote Conservation Area and the amenity of the residential properties adjacent to the village hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Diversion of footpath AE189<\/strong>

    The parameter plan was updated to reflect a diversion of footpath AE189 to solely within the MIRA South Site boundary and enable the route to be classed as a Public Right of Way. This update replaces former proposals to divert footpath AE189 via Weddington Walk, which does not benefit from Public Right of Way status. This change was made to address concerns from the Ramblers Association and WCC Rights of Way Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Previous Planning Updates<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In response to statutory comments in relation to flood risk and heritage impact, further technical work was undertaken, and supplementary information submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
