Report of the Head of Planning and Development - Results of the VISUM transport modelling

Decision:

1.  That the Committee notes the results of the transport modelling undertaken jointly by MBC and KCC and its implications for the preparation of the Integrated Transport Strategy and the Maidstone Borough Local Plan.

 

2.  That the Committee’s broad support of the Maidstone Joint Transport Board’s recommendation dated 23 July 2015 be noted and that the Officers are requested to do further work on transport policy development.

 

Minutes:

The Committee agreed that the results of the transport modelling were for noting.

 

The Committee discussed the recommendation from the Joint Transport Board (JTB) and considered the concerns it raised. The Committee considered the recommendation was clear but felt it was important that Officers were able to do further work on transport policies, taking into account the JTB recommendation, while maintaining the ability to report back to this Committee if it was found they were unable to not disrupt traffic flows. 

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.  That the Committee notes the results of the transport modelling undertaken jointly by MBC and KCC and its implications for the preparation of the Integrated Transport Strategy and the Maidstone Borough Local Plan.

 

2.  That the Committee’s broad support be noted of the Maidstone Joint Transport Board’s recommendation dated 23 July 2015 and requests Officers to do further work on transport policy development.
