so bus and walking routes matter more
How schemes in Haverhill get decided.
Two councils involved
West Suffolk Council decides the planning application, but Suffolk 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 Haverhill
A growing town on the A1307 towards Cambridge, with no railway station and heavy commuter traffic to the Cambridge science parks. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A143 and A1307. There’s no railway station, so bus services and safe walking and cycling routes carry more weight.
