That the report be noted and referred to the meeting of Council on 11 March 2026.

The Committee received a report which sought approval for non-executive powers to be delegated by Calderdale Council (CMBC) to Kirklees Council (KMBC) (the Authorities) to enable the delivery of the A62 to Cooper Bridge Corridor Improvement Scheme (the Scheme).

The report advised that the specific powers KMBC required to deliver the Scheme within the administrative areas of both Authorities were within the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (TCPA 1990) and the Highways Act 1980 (HA 1980). This report related solely to the delegation of the functions and powers within those Acts deemed to be ‘non-executive powers’.

The Committee were asked to note the report prior to its submission to the meeting of Council on 11 March 2026. It was noted that, subject to the approval of Council, the Authorities had agreed to enter into a legal agreement (the Agreement) to affect the delegation.

RESOLVED - That the report be noted and referred to the meeting of Council on 11 March 2026.
