MOTION NO. 90

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

That the following sentence be inserted on p. 88 of the Transport Assessment & Strategy document in relation to permeability routes in Figure 7.21:

“The SDZ should balance the right between new and existing residents and hence that suggested permeability routes through existing estates should only go ahead following agreement with existing residents.”

REPORT:

Response

The proposed local and pedestrian links with existing communities are indicative only and, further to the provisions of the Permeability Best Practice Guide (2013), it is accepted that the Draft Planning Scheme should be amended to clarify that these will be subject to further assessment and approval (planning application or Part 8 approval) including further public consultation.

The Transport Assessment and Strategy that accompanies the Draft Planning Scheme is a supporting document that sets out an evidence base for the Transport and Movement Section of the Draft Planning Scheme. It is not considered necessary or appropriate to amend this supporting document.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment as follows:

Include the following text under Section 2.2.3 (Pedestrian and Cycle Movement):

Proposed Local and Pedestrian and Cycling Links with existing communities are indicative only and, in accordance with the recommendations of the Permeability Best Practice Guide (2013), shall be subject to further planning approval.

Strategic Environmental Assessment of Chief Executive’s Recommendation

No interaction with Strategic Environmental Objectives.

Appropriate Assessment Screening of Chief Executive’s Recommendation

No likely significant effects on European sites within the SDZ’s zone of influence are predicted.
