TRANSPORT AND WORKS ACT 1992

The Secretary of State for Transport gives notice pursuant to section 14(1)(b), (3A) and (3AA) of the Transport and Works Act 1992 (“the Act”) that he has determined under section 13(1) of the Act to make with modifications the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway Order (“the Order”). The Order was applied for by the Cambridgeshire County Council of Shire Hall, Castle Hill, Cambridge CB3 0AP. The Order will give powers to construct, maintain and operate a guided busway between Trumpington and Cambridge City Centre, with provision for a link to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, and between Cambridge City Centre and St Ives. The Order would also authorise (among other things) the provision of ancillary works, including associated park and ride facilities at Trumpington and St Ives, and the acquisition of land and rights in land for the purposes of the scheme. In reaching his decision, the Secretary of State has complied with the requirements of paragraphs (a) to (c) of section 14(3A) of the Act about consideration of the environmental statement and of representations relating to it. For the purposes of section 14(3AA) of the Act he confirms that the main measures to avoid, reduce and, if possible, remedy any major adverse environmental effects are those set out in the environmental statement, the Code of Construction Practice and in the proposed planning conditions. Copies of the Order (once made) may be obtained from the Stationery Office Limited or through booksellers.
