Issue - meetings

The Group considered a letter from Paul Convery, Planning Policy Officer, regarding the potential for developers being asked to provide bus stops as part of the planning permission for housing developments. 

Douglas Blades informed that he had not received a date for a possible site visit but would pass this onto Stephanie McGlynn who would attend the site visit with Bobby Good and Paul Convery.

Douglas Blades informed the Group a site meeting will be arranged for the spring to identify potential sites for bus stops.

Outcome

1.    Councillor Good and Douglas Blades to arrange a site visit to assess suitability.

2.    That planning services be contacted regarding the potential for developers being asked to provide bus stops as part of the planning permission for housing developments.

Douglas Blades informed the Group that a site meeting will be arranged for early next year and if the 2018/2019 budget has available funds then additional bus stops will be put in place.
