Cabinet considered a report seeking its agreement to the terms of reference for the proposed Joint Planning & Transport Advisory Group.

The Group would be a non-decision-making joint member body intended to facilitate the development of a shared policy understanding allowing effective preparation of the new Greater Cambridge Local Plan, coordinated with transport policy.

Councillor John Williams emphasised the importance of clarifying to the public the respective responsibilities within the District of Highways England, the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, Cambridgeshire County Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council.

Those present recognised the importance of joint working, engaging with and involving a wide range of stakeholders. The Terms of Reference should make it clear that the Full Councils at both South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council would be the ultimate decision makers.
