• Replacement of the existing roundabout at Carland Cross with a 2 level motorway style junction;

• New bridges and accesses across the new road and the old road; and

• Retention of the existing A30 including the construction of further local road to maintain connectivity.

The scheme is an Environmental Impact Assessment development (“EIA development”), as defined by The Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017.
