A proposal to introduce a residents’ permit parking scheme and associated new and amended waiting and loading/unloading restrictions was approved in July 2018 (report ref. 1325 07/18) and formally published on 30 August 2018 (Amendment No. 212) as shown on drawing number CO00201089-D-TRO-01 appended to this report.

Following the publication of the proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), 203 individual objections were received from residents, local businesses and their employees. Of those objections, 138 were received from households in the area either directly or via two petitions that were submitted. The remaining 65 objections were from businesses in the area.

Having considered the objections and petitions received along with the results of previous consultations, approval is sought to make, with minor modifications and introduce the TRO as shown on drawing number CO00201089-D-TRO-02 and as described in the Schedules to this report.

Several omissions were made in error during the original advertisement of the proposed TRO. For those omitted proposals to be progressed, they will now need to be advertised independently from the main scheme, as shown on drawing number CO00201089-D-TRO-PH2.

1)     That the results of the consultation be noted.

2)     That following careful consideration of the objections, petitions and comments received, authorisation be given to make, with minor modifications and introduce the Traffic Regulation Order, detailed in Schedules 1 and 2 and shown on Drawing No. CO00201089-D-TRO-02 within the report, as soon as is practicable.

3)     That the objectors and petitioners be notified of the Council’s decision.

4)     That authorisation be given to advertise the intention of making the Traffic Regulation Order referred to in Schedule 3 to the report, as shown on drawing number CO00201089-D-TRO-PH2 and if no objections are maintained, that the Order be made, in whole or in part, and the proposal implemented, with a view to being introduced after those measures outlined in Schedules 1 and 2.

To enable the necessary parking restrictions to be introduced and enforced, to enhance resident amenity, in the interests of highway safety and to discourage obstruction of the highway.

Leaving out the proposed restrictions to which objections have been raised would be detrimental to resident amenity, highway safety and would also lead to obstruction for other road users.

None.
