Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 29 June 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what account he took in reaching his decision not to call in the development plans submitted to Blackpool Borough Council, reference 09/0740, of (a) the concerns of Blackpool Transport over the adequacy of public transport provision for the proposed development and (b) the provisions of Planning Policy Guidance 13 on Transport.
The Secretary of State has given considerations to all the representations made, including those from Blackpool Transport, on the issues raised in the context of PPG 13-Transport. He has taken account of the assessment of those issues provided in the council's committee report and in the applicant's supporting Transport Statement. While the issues relating to public transport and any highway improvements remain a matter for the highway authority's considerations, however in this case there are proposals relating to improvements to highways and public transport provision which are subject to legal agreements. In the circumstances no issues would appear to be in significant conflict with PPG 13 considerations.
