Local Transport Plan for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. It replaces the Interim Local Transport Plan, which was published in June 2017 and was based upon the existing Local Transport Plans for Cambridgeshire (Local Transport Plan 3) and Peterborough (Local Transport Plan 4). The Plan describes how transport interventions can be used to address current and future challenges and opportunities for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. It sets out the policies and strategies needed to secure growth and ensure that planned large-scale development can take place in the county in a sustainable way. This Local Transport Plan has been produced in partnership with Peterborough City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council, the Greater Cambridge Partnership, and the city and District Councils of Cambridge, East Cambridgeshire, Fenland, Huntingdonshire and South Cambridgeshire. Engagement has taken place throughout with several of central government’s arm’s length bodies such as Highways England and Network Rail, as well as neighbouring transport and highway authorities. In addition to working with public sector partners, our work has also been informed by wider stakeholder engagement, including with transport operators; industry groups; and community organisations. The Plan is split in to three main parts: This Local Transport Plan sets out the vision, goals and objectives that define how transport will support the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority’s (Combined Authority) Growth Ambition, and our approach to meeting these objectives. A summary of the plan is provided in this Executive Summary. The Transport Delivery Plan summarises the projects that the Combined Authority – together with our partners – aims to deliver over the lifetime of the Local Transport Plan, and the mechanisms through which they will be delivered. It also describes how the plan will be monitored, reviewed and updated through time, and the roles and responsibilities of the Combined Authority and its delivery partners (separate annex). Our Policies describes requirements related to transport planning and design, delivery, and operation and maintenance for the Combined Authority, our public sector partners, and key private
