A planning application was approved in April 2019 (ref 95723/FUL/18) for the construction of new dwellings on the old Itron factory which is bound by Talbot Road, Christie Road and Renton Road in Stretford.

The new development fronts onto Christie Road and Renton Road which are located within an existing 20mph Speed Limit Zone and have existing traffic calming features, including speed tables and speed cushions.

In order to accommodate the new properties and to access roads into the development it is therefore proposed to amend the existing traffic calming features. The works and the legal procedures are to be funded by the Developer.

1.          That the alteration of Traffic calming measures on Christie Road and Renton Road, Stretford as detailed on plan reference E9139-01, be approved.

2.          That formal consultation be carried out with nearby residents at each location and that any objections maintained be reported back for consideration.

3.          That authorisation be given to advertise the intention to introduce the Traffic calming measures as detailed in the Schedules to the report and on drawing E9139-01, and that if no objections are maintained, that the measures be introduced.

To improve and maintain road safety in the area for all road users by providing appropriate traffic calming measures to help keep low traffic speeds.

Alternative designs and measures were considered, but the measures proposed are considered to be the most appropriate to maintain road safety by maintaining low traffic speeds.

None.
