Decision details

Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Hampshire 2050 seeking recommendation to Council for the adoption of the draft new Local Transport Plan (LTP4) as the Council’s principal transport policy document.  The draft Plan was the result cross-cutting engagement across the County Council and its neighbours.

Cabinet welcomed the Plan, acknowledged the work undertaken in Hampshire districts and the links to supporting documents.  It was also noted that the draft Plan aimed to deliver on recommendations from Public Health reports related to place shaping and tackling obesity to keep Hampshire healthy.

In endorsing the draft LTP and recommending adoption by the County Council, the Cabinet requested the addition of reference to the legislative changes resulting from the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 between public bodies and national parks from having ‘regard to’ the objectives of National Parks’ Management Plan to having a ‘requirement to contribute to the preparation, implementation or review’ of the Management Plan. Cabinet delegated authority to the Director of Hampshire 2050 to make those and other minor changes prior to publication of the document.

The recommendations in the report were considered and agreed. A decision record is attached to these minutes.
