Decision details

Resolved to:

(i)    Waverley Local Committee noted that TDP will receive planning application consultations from each LPA which meet the criteria as set out in the new protocol (see attached document).

(ii)   Waverley Local Committee noted that TDP will consult County Members on all planning applications which they receive from the relevant LPA, and this process is currently being refined. County Members are asked to inform the relevant TDP officer of any transport or highway related issues they may have to allow the TDP response deadline of 21 days to be met.

Reasons:

The Members of the Local Committee were informed of the new protocol for planning application consultation between Local Planning Authorities and Council Highways Authorities and of the need for these changes in order to make efficiency savings on the work conducted by the CHA, to allow TDP officers to spend more time providing technical highways and transportation advice to the LPAs on development related matters.
