Buckden Parish Council has received notice of a speculative outline planning application to build approximately

and Springfield Close, with the access in Lucks Lane just after the Springfield Close junction.
We have been informed that further details can be found, from 16

A14
The final plans for the new section of the A14 will be submitted to the Secretary of State shortly and we are ex-
pecting a decision towards the end of May. If approval is given, it is planned that construction will begin in the mid-
dle of this year.
Your Parish Council is now entering the phase of being asked to comment about details of the scheme, for exam-
ple mitigation measures for noise, pollution etc. both during and after construction. We have also learnt that there
will be a compound for personnel, construction materials, equipment etc. in the field south of Brampton, just after
the bridge under the A1. This compound will not, however, house any accommodation for construction workers.
