This is the list of documents available for the submission (a) Denny Eastern Access Road INF14 DEAR funding moved from all Developer funded to "largely" Developer funded, in the Council's own SPG paper on the funding strategy for the DEAR relief road. In light of the Reporter's Determination of 24 April 2014 where the first phase of developer contribution (£550,000 Transport Contribution from McTaggart & Mickel, by way of a Section 75 agreement) was dismissed in favour of McTaggart & Mickel, the Council's preferred strategy is now in tatters. Effectively the decision has set a precedent where ALL future developers of contributing sites will argue against a 'Transport Contribution' towards the road's construction. Motion DEAR Funding Alternative Strategy That Falkirk Council recognise the immediate, desperate need for the relief road (The Council's own SPG states: "The decision to create a project for a relief road … has its origin in the 1970's … for relieving traffic congestion at Denny Cross. Even then there were considerable delays for traffic negotiating Denny Cross." Further: "New bypass road required to address capacity problems at Denny Cross which will be further exacerbated by new development."); That Council settle on funding the road from the Capital budget, or alternatively by prudential borrowing and; That Council immediately enter into a procurement exercise for the construction of the whole road, including the new Nethermain/Glasgow Road roundabout with any necessary 'spur' to access the Mydub Development site, through to the Denny High School mini-roundabouts, and any upgrades deemed necessary to them, and; That no proposed contributory housing development planning applications are approved until the DEAR construction method is fully ratified. Proposed by Councillor B McCabe.
