Strategy Decision Notice D130145MEM |
Consideration
was given to the Tonbridge and Malling Cycling
Strategy which had been prepared by officers from Kent County Council,
working in partnership with colleagues from Tonbridge and Malling
Borough Council, the sustainable transport charity, Sustrans
and local cyclists. The report summarised the responses received to the
public consultation held between May and June 2013. A number of Members expressed concern about the phraseology used within the strategy, set out at Annex 1 to the report, which gave an impression that the strategy would be a policy statement rather than provide guidance to the decision making process. Kent County Council offered to clarify the text of the document to ensure that it could be adopted as a material consideration for the purposes of development control. RESOLVED: That the following be commended to the Borough Council Cabinet The revised Tonbridge and Malling Cycling Strategy be submitted to the next meeting of the Borough Council's Planning and Transportation Advisory Board for consideration of its incorporation into the Local Plan Process. |
