The report seeks the Committee’s agreement in principle to support the development of Arundel Town Council’s Local Walking Cycling and Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) because it is consistent with the Council’s approach to delivering Active Travel opportunities, through its Active Travel study which was approved as a material consideration.

Upon the invitation of the Chair, the Planning Policy Team Leader presented the report which sought the Committee’s agreement in principle to support the development of Arundel Town Council’s Local Walking Cycling and Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) because it was consistent with the Council’s approach to delivering Active Travel opportunities having previously approved its Active Travel study as a material consideration.

When the Chair invited discussion, one Member questioned the level of response and whether the Committee should hold off making a decision until the outcome of further consultation was known, whilst another congratulated Arundel Town Council on their work and hoped other Town Councils could do similar as it was really important for local communities to think about how they could get around their towns in more sustainable ways. The recommendation was then proposed by Councillor Lury and seconded by Councillor Thurston.

The Committee

RESOLVED

That the Arundel LCWIP be supported in principle subject to the caveats in section 4.5 of the Officer report.
