Developing a Delivery Plan

Following sifting and appraisal of transport options, local authorities are likely to have identified a broad package of measures necessary to achieve their established objectives. These measures are likely to encompass capital projects, revenue raising and spending and initiatives to be delivered in partnership with other bodies which will be set out in a delivery plan. This can either be included within the LTS or as a separate document.

While strategies should be dynamic and capable of being adapted to changing circumstances,  the delivery plan should provide an outline of what needs to be done, by whom and when, and to include indicative costs.

The delivery plan should be consistent with supporting a more sustainable use of infrastructure, making better use of existing assets and prioritising low-carbon infrastructure, and the sustainable investment hierarchy.

The delivery plan should be clearly related to the objectives underpinning the strategy and should also show linkages to transport strategies at a regional and national level.

We anticipate that local authorities would review, and update, their delivery plans when deemed necessary by them.
