PDF 50 KBDesign work and the progression of the planning application is ongoing for the Preston Western Distributor and East West Link Road and Cottam Link Road. To maintain programme milestones and to ensure the scheme can be delivered, it is essential that the County Council has possession of all the necessary land. Negotiations are ongoing with the landowners however, agreement may not be achievable in time or at all. Consequently, it may be necessary to use Compulsory Purchase powers available to the County Council, in particular under the Highways Act 1980, to acquire the land.
Additionally a Side Roads Order under the Highways Act 1980 will also be required to enable alterations to be made to the existing highways and private means of access. Other Schemes and Orders under the Highways Act will also be required to enable the scheme to properly form a junction with the motorway and for the construction of the bridges over the canal navigable waters.
