Reason
The
Planning Approval was granted for this development on the basis
that the advertised TROs would be implemented if parking problems
arose and this was built into the S106 agreement.
There have
been more objections than support for the TROs – the main
reason for this being that residents advised that they and their
visitors would be unable to park.
However,
due to the narrow road widths (4.8m) vehicles parking on the
carriageway creates an increased threat to life for residents in
their homes due to lack of clear access for emergency
services.
This would
also cause accessibility issues for refuse vehicles leading to
missed collections.
This has
resulted in vehicles parking across the footway as shown in
Appendix 4, causing accessibility and safety concerns for
pedestrians, particularly the disabled, elderly and parents using a
pushchair/pram. It is therefore recommended to make and seal the
TROs as advertised.
In taking
this decision regard has been had to the Council’s duty under section 122 of
the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
