Environmental Impact
The improvements at Junction 11 and 12 aim to have minimum impact on the environment.
Surveys have been carried out to identify areas of importance for archaeology, ecology, cultural heritage and landscape.
The improvements at Junction 11 will not affect any Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) or County Wildlife Sites (CWS).
The Junction 12 improvements would require landtake with the Green Belt. They would not effect any Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) but some of the options may indirectly impact on County Wildlife Sites.
Landscaping proposals would include tree and shrub planting as required at both Junctions.
Noise levels are likely to increase at both Junctions during the construction of the improvements but overall noise levels following construction are unlikely to change.
Junction 11 is in an Air Quality Management Area. Levels of Nitrogen Dioxide in the air are monitored to check that they are not too high.
There is likely to be a small increase in air pollution at Junction 12 which would affect a small number of nearby properties.
Safe crossing routes for pedestrians and cyclists would be provided at both Junctions by improving the existing crossing routes.
