Minutes:

The Panel received the findings of the Buntingford Transport Model, comprising a Local Model Validation Report and a Future Scenarios Testing Report.  Agreement was sought to receiving the outcome as part of the evidence base to inform and support preparation of the District Plan and for Development Management purposes.

 

The work had been undertaken by Steer Davies Gleave consultants, who had created a micro-simulation model of the existing operation of the road network in and around Buntingford.   The second stage of the work used the model to test the effects of various development scenarios and to determine any mitigation measures if required.  This had been extended to undertake further model runs of two mitigation options and to provide indicative scheme design layouts for these two alternative options.

 

In response to Members’ comments and questions, Officers clarified that they were working closely with Hertfordshire County Council colleagues on costing the mitigation measures and identifying how they could be funded.  Existing section 106 funds were limited and competing priorities would need to be considered.

 

The Panel supported the recommendations as now detailed.

 

RECOMMENDED – that (A) the Buntingford Transport Model Report 2015 be approved as part of the evidence base to inform and support preparation of the East Herts District Plan;
