Decision: That having due regard to the integrated impact screening assessment, and the consultation responses, there be a reassessment of the scope and design of the scheme with the primary aim of addressing the concerns and issues raised during the consultation, further exploring the opportunities for collaboration with key partners and re-developing the scheme in the context of a wider Neath town centre masterplan. Officers will explore a range of alternative development options, which can be brought back to Members for consideration and involvement at key and appropriate stages during the scheme development process. This process will include: · Considering alterations to the scope and design of the scheme based on consultation feedback and concerns raised by the general public. · Reviewing and addressing items identified by newly appointed members of the project team. · Considering the wider regeneration and placemaking objectives for the town centre, and how new transport infrastructure can support these ambitions, ensuring that a new scheme aligns with a wider masterplan and town centre regeneration programme. · Collaborating closely with key partners (Network Rail, Welsh Government, and Transport for Wales) to explore the potential for expanding the scheme to include the railway station, with a view to delivering a fully integrated transport hub following the recent transport policy and funding changes, and the message from Welsh Government to be ambitious in transport scheme development to ensure that we have investible schemes linked to economic growth and decarbonisation. Further consideration will also need to be given to other modes of transport, such as Active Travel, and how they link in with any new proposals. Reasons for Decisions: The purpose of this report is to inform Members of the current position of the proposals for the Neath Integrated Transport Hub following completion of the public consultation. The report sets out the options that now need consideration to determine if the scheme progresses any further, and if it does, how the matters raised through the consultation and recent transport policy and funding changes are addressed.
