Decision details

[Councillor Coster was absent for the vote on this item.]

Upon the invitation of the Chair, the Planning Policy Team Leader presented the report which updated Members on the Arun Transport Model Phase 1 work commissioned in 2021 for the purposes of evidencing the transport impacts and necessary mitigation schemes of the Local Plan update when it resumed. It was noted that this study would now be paused following the decision of Full Council to not resume preparation of a Local Plan update [Minute 129], and that there were risks that this model could become out of date should a decision to resume not be made within appropriate timescales.

The recommendation was then proposed by Councillor Gunner and seconded by Councillor Hughes.

The Committee

RESOLVED - That

1.    Progress be noted on Phase 1 of the Arun district-wide Arun Transport Model;

2.    The A259 Local Model Validation Report (i.e. including Arun district-wide ATM) be uploaded to the evidence web page to inform the Local Plan Update when this resumed;

3.    The work on the further phases of developing the ATM be paused until the Council resolved to resume the Local Plan Update.
