DECISION
Support was expressed for relevant
officers to attend meetings of the Unadopted Roads Task Group, and report back
to the Transport Sub-board.
DISCUSSION
The report was
submitted, noting that the first step of the Unadopted Roads Task Group's work
had since been completed. It was added that an 'Unadopted Roads Model Guide'
had been created, and that further work was progressing with the second part.
It was reiterated that the second step would be to set up a database to provide
a comprehensive record of all unadopted roads and to develop common standards
for the design and construction of highways to be used by Local Authorities and
housing developers for roads that could be adopted.
Observations
arising from the discussion
¾
It was emphasised that
common standards were required, as they varied within areas and therefore
consistency was required for housing developers.
¾
It was noted that the
legislation would not look at historical cases, but would ensure that no new
problems arose
