    Thanet Transport Strategy - 12/01929

    Adoption of the Thanet Transport Strategy by Kent County Council (KCC).

     

    How the decision relates to BS4K and Corporate Objectives:

    The Thanet Transport Strategy will support the BS4K objectives of Helping the Kent Economy to Grow and Tackling Disadvantage by managing congestion in Thanet, providing better access to jobs and markets and supporting a shift to more sustainable transport patterns.

     

    Impact/costs and risks of proposed decision:

    The Thanet Transport Strategy forms a key part of the evidence base for the Thanet Core Strategy, which will be subject to an Examination in Public by an independent Planning Inspector during 2013. The appropriateness and deliverability of the Thanet Transport Strategy will be an important consideration in the Inspector’s decision on the soundness of the Core Strategy as a whole.

     

    The delivery of the Thanet Transport Strategy will be heavily dependent on securing funding contributions from development through the Section 106 and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) processes, as KCC’s Local Transport Plan funding allocation from Central Government is likely to be under sustained pressure for the foreseeable future. KCC will not be a CIL Charging Authority; therefore it will be reliant on Thanet District Council as the Local Planning Authority to allocate sufficient CIL revenue to the priority transport infrastructure projects identified in the Thanet Transport Strategy. The availability of CIL revenue will in turn be dictated by the phasing and extent of new development, which will be influenced by a range of external factors.
