The scheme was “called-in” by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government following the Orders objection period a concurrent Public Inquiry was confirmed.
Following this a Rule 6 statement was submitted in September 2007 and Rule 7 statement submitted in January 2008.
A Public Inquiry will start on June 17 2008 and run for 24 days. A decision is expected in early 2009, and if the scheme is approved, construction work could start on the road during 2009. The bypass could then be open by 2010/11.
