The Committee considered a report and verbal update by the Head of Economic Policy to approve the first version of the West Yorkshire Mass Transit Statement of Intent, a document that provides a foundation for cross-boundary working on planning matters relating to mass transit and was asked to approve the signing of the first version of the Mass Transit Statement of Intent...

mass transit:

Mass transit corridors to be in conformity with statutory spatial strategy

and policy in advance of examination through Transport and Works Act /

Development Consent Orders (DCO) processes.

Detailed route alignments to be protected through statutory plans

(safeguarded) as early as possible.

Support place making and design principles of the mass transit scheme.

In noting the Panel discussed and said this was very much supported.
