Opportunity for public to register interest in M20 junction 10a proposal
Public are now able to make representations on Highways England’s proposals to build a new junction connecting the M20 and A2070 near Ashford.
A new junction is proposed approximately 700 metres east of the existing junction 10 near Ashford in Kent. The new junction will use two bridges and connect to the existing A20 and a new dual carriageway link road built to the A2070 near Sevington.
It follows the acceptance on Thursday 11 August 2016 of the application for a development consent order by the Planning Inspectorate.
Any representations giving notice of any interest in or objection to the application must be made on the Planning Inspectorate’s registration and relevant representation form, which can be accessed and completed online.
Paper copies of the form can be requested by calling 0303 444 5000.
Representations must be received by the Planning Inspectorate by 11:59pm on Monday 3 October 2016. Representations will be made public by the Planning Inspectorate.
The development consent order application documents, which include the scheme design and consultation report, will be available at the following locations:
