Decision published: 29/10/2025
Effective from: 29/10/2025
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.
