    24 February 2015 LOCAL TRANSPORT PLAN

    Report of the Cabinet Member for Environment & Transportation Extraordinary Council - 24 February 2015 LOCAL TRANSPORT PLAN Purpose: To adopt the Local Transport Plan Policy Framework: Transport (Wales) Act 2006. The joint Local Transport Plan will replace the Regional Transport Plan 2010 – 2015. Reason for Decision: In order that the Local Transport Plan can be adopted as the statutory policy. Consultation: A workshop with key stakeholders in July 2014 and a formal consultation on the draft final document in October 2014. Legal, Finance, Access to Services. Recommendation(s): That Council adopts the Local Transport Plan (2015 – 2020), to replace the Regional Transport Plan (2010 – 2015). Report Author: Ben George Finance Officer: Ben Smith Legal Officer: Sandie Richards Access to Services Phil Couch Officer: 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The Welsh Government took on responsibilities for transport as a result of the Transport (Wales) Act 2006 which amends the Transport Act 2000. The Welsh Government prepared a Transport Strategy for Wales in 2008 and a five year National Transport Plan in 2010. The National Transport Plan is currently being “refreshed” and consultation on a 2015- 2020 National Plan started in December 2014 . The Government now requires Local Authorities to prepare Transport Plans for the 2015 – 2020 period which are consistent with and support national strategies/plans within their specific area. 2.0 Changes to Welsh Governance Requirements 2.1. The former statutory document, the Regional Transport Plan 2010 – 2015, marked a departure from the traditional Local Authority approach to transport policy as the Welsh Government instructed Councils to work together within defined consortium areas.

    Foreword Foreword As Executive Board Member for Regeneration and Leisure, I am pleased to present the Carmarthenshire County Council Local Development Plan (LDP) as adopted by the County Council on December 10 2014. Whilst taking account of national plans, policies and programmes, the Carmarthenshire LDP provides a locally distinctive means of shaping the future use of land within our County. As such, the Plan takes account of our County’s unique characteristics and qualities and it gives me pleasure to see the emphasis placed on sustainable development as a central principle. I am also pleased to note the close working relationship that the Plan demonstrates with the Integrated Community Strategy. In noting that the LDP is one of only two plans that the Authority is statutorily obliged to produce, I consider that this Plan provides a robust mechanism for delivering the Council’s ambitions over the coming years. I particularly welcome the Plan’s recognition of the importance of promoting a sustainable distribution of growth and regeneration within the context of approaches in regional working. The LDP considers a wide range of issues and presents a vision for the future of the County. The Plan’s Strategy will help realise this vision by identifying the level and distribution of growth and development needed in accordance with the diverse character of the County’s communities. The Plan will deliver its Strategy via the implementation of a range of policies and land use allocations, including provision for new homes and employment over the plan period. I also note that the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) have both provided important roles within the Plan making process and that all regulatory requirements have been adhered to.
