Reason for Decision

To enable the footway widening in Institute Road providing a safer environment for pedestrians. It is considered that the benefits of the scheme outweigh the potential impacts on local businesses, from reduced loading provision and on-street parking.

Budget Implications

The total cost of the scheme is estimated to be £450,000.00. The scheme is being part funded by Swanage Town Council (£100,000.00), Developer funding pooled from local Section 106 payments (£75,000.00),

with the remainder of the funding (£275,000.00) from the Local Transport Plan.
