Decision details
Submission of consultation responses to the DfT in relation to future Lane Rental approvals
Decision Maker: Executive Member for Highways & Transportation
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To seek approval to submit responses to a
consultation in relation to the Department for transport devolving
powers to allow Mayoral Authorities/ Highway Authorities to assess
and sign off future Lane Rental schemes and amendments. Deadline is
21 February 2025
Decision:
The submission of the proposed response to the
Department for Transport is approved, as attached at Appendix A of
the report.
Reasons for the decision:
To ensure that North Yorkshire Council
feedback their views on any upcoming changes in relation to the
approval or amendment of Lane Rental schemes in the
future.
Alternative options considered:
The alternative option would be to not respond
to the consultation. Whilst the Council is already in the process
of applying for approval of a Lane Rental Scheme under the current
arrangements where SoS sign off is required, it is considered that
responding to the consultation is an important undertaking as any
future amendments to the scheme would have an impact.
