Committee Work Programme – Update concerning the Integrated Transport Strategy (ITS) Review

Estimated start date – post January 2024, scope agreed in November 2023: Your Councillors - Maidstone Borough Council

The review was agreed to start post adoption of the Local Plan Review (LPR), as reviewing the ITS ahead of the LPR’s adoption could negatively impact the latter. This was likely to take place in January 2024, however the adoption process has not been completed due to an additional consultation having been introduced by the LPR inspector. The timeline for the LPR’s adoption is dependent on the receipt of the Inspector’s report.

Officers have therefore advised that the Committee delay commencing the ITS review until the adoption of the LPR, as previously agreed by the Committee.
