<p>Highways England is guided by the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges on the provision
of new accesses and interchanges to the Strategic Road Network. As well as monitoring
traffic flow data, they assess information from local development plans and local
highway and planning authorities to identify when and where additional junctions are
required.</p><p> </p><p>I understand you met recently with Highways England at which
unfortunately you were advised that a new junction could not be built to current standards
at this location on the M27 due to other road improvements made since the motorway
was constructed. Highways England is continuing to discuss this important matter with
the local planning authority and monitoring developments in the vicinity.</p>
