The application for the A30 between Chiverton Cross and Carland Cross has been given development consent by the Secretary of State for the UK Department of Transport.

The project will include construction of a new 12.5km off line section and new grade separated junctions at Chiverton and Carland Cross, and Chybucca.

The majority of the existing A30 will be retained as local route. The project is located at the A30 trunk road between Chiverton and Carland Cross roundabouts.

The Planning Inspectorate chief executive Sarah Richards said: “This is the 80th nationally significant infrastructure project to have been examined and decided within the timescales laid down in the Planning Act 2008.

“The Planning Inspectorate is committed to giving local communities the opportunity of being involved in the examination of projects that may affect them.

The A30 Chiverton to Carland Cross dualling scheme will result in 8.7 miles of new 70mph dual carriageway. It is the only remaining stretch of single carriageway on the A30, between Camborne and the M5 at Exeter.
