7 CONSULTATION
7.1 Introduction
Following the commission in June 2004, to undertake preparation work to consider the feasibility of improving the A64 from York to Scarborough to dual two lane carriageway standards, Capita Symonds commenced carrying out a Stage 1 Environmental Assessment. This includes consultation with statutory consultees during the process. In addition to the statutory consultees an important part of this commission was to consult with stakeholders including the local authorities and other authorities to obtain their views and take any appropriate action. This consultation has included writing to the statutory authorities to explain the scope of the study and asking for comments and holding a number of meetings.
7.2 Purpose of Consultation
The purpose of the consultation is to seek information about any sensitive issues upon which the assessment should concentrate. This exchange of information would reduce the risk of not identifying an impact that could potentially stop the scheme at a later date. Requests were made for up to date information about the site, including any designations and any relevant reports. Appendix C lists the statutory consultees, stakeholders and other consultees who were contacted.
7.3 Meetings
Consultation also involved holding a number of meetings. Two meetings were held to clarify and confirm with the stakeholders the scheme brief, discuss the route corridor and the proposed routes.
A third meeting was held on 26 November 2004 in Leeds. This meeting took the form of an Environmental workshop organised by independent facilitators CVRL. The attendees included stakeholders and statutory consultees. The aim of the workshop was to provide an opportunity for:
- The Highways Agency and Capita Symonds to meet key stakeholders
- An exchange of information, to explain expectations, requirements and understand the constraints within the study area.
- The stakeholders to understand the risks that might pose a threat to the delivery of a dual carriageway between York and Scarborough.
A copy of the Workshop Report and Executive Summary Report are in Appendix D. Information from all the forms of consultation where used, where appropriate to inform the main study.
