Purpose

This report seeks approval to
prepare a Full Business Case for the A582 Major Road Network
Focused Scheme.  In support of this, the
recommendation also asks for approval to use the county council's
powers of Compulsory Purchase and authorise both the preparation of
Compulsory Purchase and Side Road Orders and a Statement of Reasons
for the junction configuration at and near the Croston Road
Junction, and to acquisition by agreement to facilitate this part
of the scheme.  Finally, the report
seeks approval to use up to £6m of previously approved local
match funding to facilitate the ongoing development activity,
including the matters above, and land acquisition.
 
This is deemed to be a Key
Decision and the requirements of the council's Cabinet procedure
rules (Standing Order C18, Consideration of Key Decisions) have
been complied with.
