Purpose

The proposals are being pursued
as part of a s278 Agreement under the Highways Act 1980 and S106
under the Town and Country Planning Act as part of a new
development which will introduce further traffic
movements.
 
The purpose of the proposed No
Waiting and No Loading at Any Time restriction along Roddlesworth
Way and Paradise Lane is to protect sight lines and ensure the safe
movement of public transport.
 
Consultations
Formal consultation was carried
out between 10 November-2023 and 8 December-2023 which included
advertising in the local press and notices being displayed on
site.  Divisional county councillors
were consulted along with the council's usual consultees and the
consultation documents posted on the council's website.
 
Following formal consultation
seven responses of support were received, two raising additional
comments.
 
Comments
Two of the respondents stated
that they supported the proposal only on the bases that parking for
Moss Side primary school is maintained to allow for the school drop
off and pick-ups.
 
Officer's
Response
Lancashire County Council
highways were consulted as part of planning application
07/2017/3361/ORM for a hybrid application to provide around 850 to
950 dwellings; 28,000 sqm mixed business use; primary school;
village centre including health centre/clinic.  As part of the planning public consolation
Lancashire County Council highways recommended various changes to
the speed limits, bus gate, traffic calming, weight restrictions;
Pegasus crossings to try and mitigate against the impact of the new
development; improve highway safety for the new residents and the
existing road users; promotion of safe and desirable sustainable
transport for all users and the promotion of public transport. All
costs associated with the traffic calming and the traffic
regulation orders and provision are being paid in full by the
developer and all works must be directly linked to the development
and the planning approval.
 

No changes are being
proposed to change the current parking on Paradise lane near Moss
Side Primary School.
