(Report of the Director of Environmental Services - To be introduced by the Executive Member for Environment and Conservation):To seek approval for the introduction of the Street Scene Streetscape Manual.

In response to a question arising from consideration of paragraph 9.6 of the report in relation to the construction of footway space, we were advised that although the majority of respondents had agreed with the use of Bitumen Macadam the options remained open and would be the subject of further consideration.

RESOLVED:

1. That approval be granted in principle to the adoption of a Streetscape Manual to promote consistency in street design and furniture throughout the Borough.

2. That the draft Streetscape Manual as set out in Appendix 1 to the interleaved report be modified to reflect comments received during consultation as summarised in paragraph 9.9 of the interleaved report.

3. That the final Streetscape Manual be adopted with the final decision on content being taken by the Director of Environmental Services in consultation with the Executive Member for Environment and Conservation.
