Purpose

Planning permission has been granted for a
development of a new
Crematorium on Shetcliffe Lane, Bradford. It is proposed that a
new
crematorium be constructed as part of the CBMDC wider strategy to
replace a number of the Council’s existing facilities located
in other parts of the city.
2. Vehicle access to the proposed site will be provided by a new
simple priority junction with Shetcliffe Lane. Shetcliffe Lane is a
single carriageway road and is currently subject to a 30mph speed
limit (with an approved proposal to reduce to 20mph as part of a
separate housing development). The development will have off-street
car parking space but it is considered that it could result in some
visitors parking on Shetcliffe Lane, obstructing sight lines at the
new site access, and could lead to traffic on Shetcliffe Lane
crossing into the opposite Lane. There is also potential for
parking and/or new traffic movements to intensify issues on
Shetcliffe Lane in the vicinity of St John’s school.
3. In order to facilitate safe vehicular and pedestrian movements,
a Traffic
Regulation Order (TRO) to introduce restrictions to prevent parking
and
thereby attain adequate visibility for vehicles exiting the
development and
prevent localised congestion on Shetcliffe Lane is proposed.
