Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what work has been done by Highways England (1) to assess, (2) to quantify, and (3) to monetise, the environmental impacts of the proposed new dual carriageway between Lewes and Polegate; and what plans they have to publish all available information produced as a result of this work.

Highways England’s “A27 East of Lewes Off-line Study” strategic outline business case, published in response to a Freedom of Information request represents the early work done to date to consider a new route for the A27 between Lewes and Polegate. The second Road Investment Strategy, published in March, commissioned Highways England to develop proposals for this route for possible delivery after 2025. This work is expected to explore potential options and their benefits and costs, including environmental impacts, as appropriate.
