Decision details

The long list of Major Schemes, as detailed in the report, is approved subject to confirmation from local members who had schemes on the original pipeline list that affect their constituency, that they are happy that we are proposing to remove these schemes.

As outlined in Section 4.1 of the report, it is anticipated that each time significant changes to national and local strategies and policies a review of the current Pipeline will be required. Once the long list is approved NYC will work with key stakeholders, such as the MCA, to sift the list against emerging national, regional and local priorities.

Using the long list to sift for priorities will enable us to realise potential quick wins and create a transport investment plan to aid spending decisions.

A wide range of schemes from cross-directorate project lists has been considered in the development of this list, schemes that did not make the list were likely not, or could not be packaged with other schemes to be, classed as a Major Scheme (£5m or more in value). The final recommendation is considered to be the most appropriate based on Officers experience and understanding of current and emerging national, local and regional priorities.
