Purpose

Approval is sought for the County Council to
expend monies secured under Section 106 of the Town and Country
Planning Act 1990, from the Higher Standen Farm development,
towards the Castle Street Clitheroe works.
 
When consulted by Ribble Valley Borough
Council for on a planning application for the development of a
50.1HA Mixed Use at Standen Estate, the County Council responded
requesting that the developer should be required to contribute
monies annually for a period of 20 years to promote sustainable
travel uptake from the development.
 
Lancashire County Council and Ribble Valley
Borough Council have collaborated on a scheme to enhance
sustainable travel provision and reduce private car use in
Clitheroe, which aligns with the funding held associated with this
development.
 
Authority to take this decision has been
delegated under the Scheme of Delegation to Heads of Service.
 
It is recommended that £26,836.13 of
Travel Plan funds held by the County Council from the Higher
Standen Farm development are allocated to the Castle St Clitheroe
scheme.
