Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
A request has been received from a resident of Heywood Road, Sale, whose son is a blue badge holder, for consideration to be given to the provision of a disabled persons’ permit parking space on Heywood Road.
Historically several requests have been received from residents for the existing Monday to Friday daytime residents only permit holder parking to be extended to cover evenings and weekends, due to parking by visitors to the nearby Sale Rugby Club.
Investigations have identified that 3 lengths of restrictions were not revoked when the residents’ parking scheme was introduced in 2004, but were replaced by new restrictions, leaving a duplication. This necessitates a paper action and there will be no revisions to the current markings on the ground.
Decision:
2. That the extension of the operating hours of the residents’ permit parking bays on Heywood Road, Sale be approved;
3. That the revocation of duplicated restrictions on lengths of Heywood Road, The Grove and West Grove, Sale be approved;
4. That authorisation be given to advertise the intention of making the Traffic Regulation Order referred to in the schedules to the report and, if no objections are maintained, that the Order be made, in whole or in part, and the proposals implemented.
5. That a consultation be carried out with the residents of Heywood Road, Sale.
Reasons for the decision:
In view of the nature of the streets within the Heywood Road, Sale area and the demand for on-street parking it is considered that an applicant would benefit from the introduction of disabled permit parking space that would allow them to park directly outside their home.
It is also considered that the residents of Heywood Road would benefit from the extension of the days and hours of operation of the existing restrictions.
In view of the duplication of 3 lengths of restrictions it is necessary to revoke those lengths of restriction that are no longer valid.
Alternative options considered:
None.
Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:
None.
