66 The Future of the Strood Environmental Enhancement Scheme pdf icon PDF 785 KB

Minutes:

This report set out details of the Strood Environmental Enhancement Scheme and explained that the scheme, which had not been progressed in the absence of a funding stream, now acted as a constraint against growth and development. It was therefore recommended that the Strood Environmental Enhancement Scheme be abandoned, to allow transport options to be developed as an outcome of the evolution of masterplanning for Strood rather than a driver for it.

 

The report gave details of various property assets, illustrated on a plan attached to the report, that with the abandonment of the scheme would no longer be required. It was proposed that most of the land held for the scheme was declared surplus and disposed of, with the remainder being held for a possible small scale road improvement and a new library.

 

It was noted that the Strood Regeneration Cabinet Advisory Group and the Regeneration, Community and Culture Overview and Scrutiny Committee had considered this report and their comments were set out in the report.
