Model Template and Text for Preparing the Third Local Implementation Plan

Model template and text for preparing the third Local Implementation Plan

April 2018

The model template was produced by TfL, in consultation with London Councils and borough officers, in response to a request from London Councils and boroughs.

There is no obligation or requirement for any borough to use this model template.

Borough officers may change the structure of the template and/or add sub-headers if it assists them in developing the narrative of their LIP submission.

Using this template

The model template proposes the following structure for the Third Local Implementation Plan (LIP3):

Chapter One:Introduction and statutory context
Chapter Two: Borough Transport Objectives
Chapter Three: Delivery Plan

There is no obligation for a borough to use this model template. Alternative formats or existing policy documents may be submitted if appropriate.

If the borough chooses to adopt a different format, in order to assist TfL in the assessment process and to ensure that there is consistency in the information received, it is requested that the borough produces an index of their LIP showing where the mandatory requirements have been met.

Within the model template, sample text and sample tables have been provided to illustrate the suggested response to a particular requirement. Footnotes are provided which refer to the relevant requirements that should be contained within the LIP.

If a borough considers that a requirement deserves a greater or lesser explanation, there is no obligation for boroughs to limit or extend their response to the suggested guide length in the document.

1.Introduction and preparing a LIP[1]

Introduction[2]

[Guide 3-5 paragraphs]

SAMPLE TEXT The Local Implementation Plan (LIP) is a statutory document prepared under Section 145 of the GLA Act and sets out how the borough proposes to deliver the Mayor’s Transport Strategy (MTS) in its area, as well as contributing to other local and sub-regional goals. It has been developed in accordance with the Revised Guidance for Borough Officers on Developing the Third Local Implementation Plan.

SAMPLE TEXT This document is the third LIP for the London Borough of XXXXX. It covers the same period as the MTS (published in March 2018) and it also takes account of the transport elements of the draft London Plan, and other relevant Mayoral and local policies. The document sets out long terms goals and transport objectives for the London Borough of XXXXX for the next 20 years, a three-year programme of investment starting in 2019/20, and includes delivery proposals for the period 2019/20 - 2021/22 and the targets and outcomes the borough are seeking to achieve. A more detailed delivery plan is provided for the financial year 2019/20.

SAMPLE TEXT This LIP identifies how the London Borough of XXXXX will work towards achieving the MTS goals of:

Healthy Streets and healthy people
A good public transport experience
New homes and jobs

SAMPLE TEXT The Council notes that the overarching aim of the strategy is for 80 per cent of all trips in London to be made on foot, by cycle or using public transport by 2041, compared to 63 per cent today, and there are different targets set for central, inner and outer London. The LIP outlines how XXXXX Council will set local priorities and targets in order to assist with achieving this aim.

SAMPLE TEXT This document also outlines how the Council will work with TfL to assist with delivering the outcomes, polices and proposals of the MTS.

Local approval process[3]

[Guide 1-3 paragraphs]

SAMPLE TEXT Elected Members provided guidance to the borough officers during the development of the Draft LIP.

SAMPLE TEXT This Final LIP was considered by the XXXXXXX Committee on XX XXXX 2018 and subsequently approved by the Portfolio Holder on XX XXXX XXXX.

SAMPLE TEXT The GLA Act 1999 places a duty on boroughs, when preparing a LIP, to consult with the following organisations:

The relevant Commissioner or Commissioners of Police for the City of London and the Metropolis
TfL
Such organisations representing disabled people as the boroughs consider appropriate
Other London boroughs whose area is, in the opinion of the council preparing the LIP, likely to be affected by the plan
Any other body or person required to be consulted by the direction of the Mayor

SAMPLE TEXT The borough undertook a public consultation exercise between XXXXXX and YYYYYY. The consultation appeared on the borough’s website, and was available for any member of the public to respond.

SAMPLE TEXT In addition, a total of ZZZ bodies were directly consulted, including the statutory consultees mentioned above. All direct consultees were written to, drawing attention to the consultation, where it could be found on the borough’s website, and the closing date.

SAMPLE TEXT The direct consultees fell into a number of broad categories as follows:

Statutory consultee / Number consulted
TfL / 1

Disability groups / 5
Local authorities / 9
Non-statutory consultee
National agencies / 5

Statutory duties[5]

[Guide 1-5 paragraphs]

SAMPLE TEXT The borough has taken into account all the statutory duties and processes as set out in the requirements in the GLA Act in the preparation of this LIP.

SAMPLE TEXT: The borough has met its statutory duty and conducted a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and, as recommended, an Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) on the proposals contained in its LIP. The LIP Outcomes and programmes have been assessed for both purposes, and this process has not identified any necessary changes to the LIP and/or the following changes have been made to the LIP.

SAMPLE TEXT The SEA Environmental Report, including a non-technical summary, and a draft of the EQIA were available on the borough’s website during the consultation period, but no comments were received. The Environmental Report and Environmental Statement, and the final EQIA remain on the website at this link: XXXXX.GOV.UK\XXXXX\

LIP approval[6]

SAMPLE TEXT The draft LIP was submitted to the Mayor on XX XXXX and approved by the Mayor on XX XXX

2.Borough Transport Objectives

Introduction

SAMPLE TEXT This chapter sets out the local policy context for the third round of LIPs. It covers the borough’s detailed interpretation at a spatial level and the local policies and proposals which will help deliver the MTS. The chapter also considers the link between the LIP and other key frameworks against which the borough plans and delivers local services.

SAMPLE TEXT The LIP firmly demonstrates that it is informed by evidence and analysis of local needs and issues and that it is shaped by the wider context of the MTS vision, the MTS Healthy Streets Approach and the MTS policies, proposals and outcomes.
