Agenda item

This item was brought forward on the agenda.

The Head of Planning reminded Members that this item was discussed at the Member Forum in March, where he explained the consultation process to that point and the intention to bring a final plan back to Members for adoption, including our proposed routes which would form part of the high level strategic network for active travel. 

The Officer also informed Members of a small correction to 2.6 of the report which should have read “Walking, Wheeling Cycling and Horse Riding.” 

The Officer then handed over to the Transport Policy Planner and Access & Rights Way Officer who then gave a presentation to Members on the year long project using Active Travel England money to produce an Active Travel Plan for this area.

Members thanked the Officers for their presentation, and the amount of work that had gone into the project, looking at our ambitions and working with partners to implement active travel throughout the National Park.   

The recommendations as set out in the report was moved, seconded, voted on and carried.

RESOLVED:

1.     That subject to recommendation 2 below, the Peak District Walking, Wheeling, Cycling and Horse-Riding Infrastructure Plan, be adopted by the Authority and thereafter published

2.     That authority be delegated to the Head of Planning in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair of the Authority, for further additions and amendments and any specific feedback received from Active Travel England to finalise the Plan.
