growth through enabling access to key development sites which will help to bring forward approximately 3,000 new homes along with other local facilities and employment opportunities. This in turn will support and protect the city's growth objectives within the Greater Icknield area.
In addition, the A457 Scheme provides improvements for public transport, pedestrians and cyclists to align with the Emergency Transport Plan and Active Travel Plan introduced following Covid-19 and aspires towards the longer-term priorities of the Council in terms of sustainable transport and working towards net zero carbon by 2030.

The Council is seeking to undertake these in accordance with PCR 2015 Regulation 72(b)(ii) where a change of contractor 'would cause significant inconvenience or substantial
duplication of costs for the contracting authority' This increase would cause the contract value to exceed the 50% tolerance.
