Draft Local Transport Plan 4 - Public Consultation

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To seek approval to publicly consult on the Council’s fourth Local Transport Plan (LTP4) covering the period 2025-2037.

Decision:

RESOLVEDthat

 

i.       Cabinet agree to undertake a public consultation on the draft Local

Transport Plan 4 (Annex A) and associated supporting documents, beginning in November 2024;

 

ii.     a further report is presented to Cabinet detailing the outcome of the public consultation and any proposed amendments to the plan prior to adoption.

Reasons for the decision:

Continuing this Council’s reputation for dynamic and modern development, the draft

Local Transport Plan (LTP4) is a revolution in how Local Transport Plans are

approached – no longer reactive to current trends, but bold in outlining a just vision for how transport will operate in Bracknell Forest from 2025 to 2037.

Alternative options considered:

The Council could continue to rely on the existing LTP3. This is not recommended as

the plan is now considered out of date as national policy on climate change and

transport has progressed since the current plan was adopted in 2011.
