Decision details

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

The report provided an update on the Borough Council’s Infrastructure Delivery Plan and Active Travel Strategy. The Plan was regularly updated to reflect the Council’s progressing Local Plan and the revised business, service and delivery plans of infrastructure and service providers.  Consideration was given to a consultation document that outlined the proposals and the full draft Strategy would be informed by the feedback received and presented for Member consideration to adopt/endorse by the Local Authority and Kent County Council through relevant committees later in 2022.

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

(1)             the adoption of the Infrastructure Delivery Plan for development management and economic regeneration purposes be approved;

(2)             the Active Travel (cycle routes) consultation exercise be approved; and

(3)             the consultation would inform the production of an Active Travel Strategy and would be reported to Members later in 2022.
