Decision:

1.      
The Executive endorsed the LCWIP Report subject to
clarification of the detail in respect of the proposal for the
inclusion of CWZ18 (Station Parade, East Horsley) with proposals
for CWZ29 (Bishopsmead Parade); and
subject to confirmation of the deadline for the inclusion of any
new sites to Phase 1 for which local funding could be
available.

2.      
That the Joint Strategic Director Economy, Planning
and Place be authorised, in consultation with the Lead Councillor
with portfolio responsibility for Planning Policy, to make such
minor alterations to improve the clarity of the LCWIP as they may
deem necessary.
Reason(s):
1.      
Endorsement would enable SCC as the Local Transport
Authority to adopt the report through their democratic process by
showing Borough ‘buy-in’ to the
report.
2.      
To enable SCC to access DfT funding and other
funding streams for active travel infrastructure
development.
3.      
To endorse the report would align with the
Council’s corporate objectives and planning policy on
transport, climate change and air quality.
4.      
The endorsement would give greater planning weight
to the LCWIP Report at planning determination and provide an
updated borough-wide network plan for walking &
cycling.
5.      
To enable minor alterations to be made to the LCWIP
should they be necessary prior to publication.
6.      
The Executive considered the questions raised by
Councillor Catherine Young required
clarification.
Other options considered and rejected by the
Executive:

Do not endorse the LCWIP Report. This
may delay the potential for future investment in walking and
cycling.
Details of any conflict of interest declared by
the Leader or lead councillors and any dispensation
granted:
None.
