Purpose

The proposals are being pursued as part of a Section 278 agreement under the Highways Act 1980. These proposals are being funded fully by the development linked to the new cricket ground and the future housing development and the associated planning conditions.

The proposed No Waiting at Any Time restrictions are intended to protect visibility at the access, ensure the safe operation of public transport services, aid with pedestrian safety to cross Stanifield Lane and prevent inappropriate and obstructive parking associated with visitors to the cricket ground.

Reasons under Section 1 of the RTRA
(a) for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising
(c) for facilitating the passage on the road or any other road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians)
(d) for preventing the use of the road by vehicular traffic of a kind which, or its use by vehicular traffic in a manner which, is unsuitable having regard to the existing character of the road or adjoining property
