Town Centre Access Plan – Impact on the town centre road network.

Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Place) and Deputy Chief Executive

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The report includes feedback from the consultation, the proposed package of schemes, information from the business case and will seek approval to submit the outline business case for the whole package in December and a final business case for phase 1 in January.

Decision:

In line with the authority delegated by the Executive in December 2014 in relation to the Town Centre Access Plan, the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration has agreed that where practicable noise barriers should be provided on the adopted highway and that where it is impracticable that noise insulation grants should be offered to the identified properties. Noise insulation grants would only be paid for habitable rooms and each room must be considered to be affected so it is expected that for almost all the properties this will be one façade.

Alternative options considered:

Options considered included do nothing or individual noise insulation grants to properties that meet criteria. Noise barriers were considered to provide greater community benefit where they could be provided.

Wards Affected: Brinnington & Central;

Equality and/or Environmental Impact Assessment: This is being undertaken as part of the individual scheme development and will be included in the business case.
