How schemes in St Neots get decided.
Two councils involved
Huntingdonshire District Council decides the planning application, but Cambridgeshire 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 St Neots
A large town on the A1 and East Coast Main Line, next to the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet upgrade. 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 A1 and A428. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the A1 and A428, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in St Neots?
Cambridgeshire County Council, for local roads. Huntingdonshire District Council decides the planning application and consults Cambridgeshire County Council on highways matters. We deal with both. National Highways is responsible for the A1 and A428.
Do you cover the area around St Neots?
Yes, including Huntingdon, Cambourne and Bedford, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the A1 and A428 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
