Decision:

That the draft programme be approved for publication on the Council’s local plan web page.

 

Minutes:

The Spatial Policy Team Leader presented the report which set the scene for the draft Local Plan, for the past and the future, with a proposed programme for the production on the Local Plan going forward.

 

It was noted that the adoption of Transport Policies by August 2015 was a realistic target as the VISUM transport modelling had been completed by Kent County Council (KCC).  The VISUM modelling provided a broad strategic direction for the transport policies and alternatives to car use.

 

It was confirmed a meeting between the Chair and Vice Chair of the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transport Committee and the Chair and Vice Chair of the relevant Committee at KCC would be arranged to gain some clarity on the outcome of the VISUM modelling.

 

In order to provide clarity for the Committee, officers agreed to provide regular reports, to this Committee, from the Task and Finish Groups looking at infrastructure provision.

 

RESOLVED

 

That the draft programme be approved for publication on the Council’s local plan web page.
