How schemes in Boston get decided.
Two councils involved
Boston Borough Council decides the planning application, but Lincolnshire County Council is the highway authority and gives the highways response. We deal with both, so the evidence suits the county’s standards as well as the local plan.
What shapes schemes in Boston
A market town and small port on the Haven, where the A16 and A52 meet, with a lot of farm and HGV traffic. In the centre, the questions are usually servicing, parking and narrow streets. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and a safe walking route into town.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A16 and A52. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application.
