Decision details

Approval is sought for the County Council to expend monies secured under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, from the Higher Standen Farm development, towards the Castle Street Clitheroe works.

When consulted by Ribble Valley Borough Council for on a planning application for the development of a 50.1HA Mixed Use at Standen Estate, the County Council responded requesting that the developer should be required to contribute monies annually for a period of 20 years to promote sustainable travel uptake from the development.

Lancashire County Council and Ribble Valley Borough Council have collaborated on a scheme to enhance sustainable travel provision and reduce private car use in Clitheroe, which aligns with the funding held associated with this development.

Authority to take this decision has been delegated under the Scheme of Delegation to Heads of Service.

It is recommended that £26,836.13 of Travel Plan funds held by the County Council from the Higher Standen Farm development are allocated to the Castle St Clitheroe scheme.

John Davies, on behalf of Matt Townsend, Director of Highways and Transport took a decision to approve the recommendation in the report.
