Decision details

(Report of the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health)

A consultation draft Freight Action Plan for Kent setting out 5 specific actions on how the County Council and partners planned to reduce the impact of road freight on local communities had been produced by Kent County Council.  Views on the draft document were sought by 12 March 2017.  It was reported that the Freight Action Plan (FAP) acted as a ‘daughter’ document to the KCC Local Transport Plan 4.

Consideration was given to a proposed response to the consultation questionnaire, attached as Annex 1 to the report, which was generally supportive of the actions set out.

Following consideration by the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Infrastructure resolved that:

(1)         the content of the report be endorsed; and

(2)         the Borough Council’s proposed response to the consultation, as set out in Annex 1 to the report, be endorsed.
