A planning application was approved in April 2019 (ref95723/FUL/18) for the construction of new dwellings on the former Itron factory site 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 Event Day Controlled Hours Permit PPD Parking Area and there are waiting restrictions on Christie Road. In order to integrate the new development into the surrounding roads, eliminate the displacement of non-resident parking on event days and maintain road safety and access it is proposed to introduce waiting restrictions, Event Day Parking Permits and create a 20mph speed limit to cover the new development cul-de-sac.

Since agreeing the traffic calming changes on Christie Road and Renton Road, the developer has discovered that the two speed tables on Christie Road cannot be installed as planned owing to the presence of a high-pressure gas mains pipe and it is therefore proposed to change both speed tables to speed cushions.

The formal advertisement of the proposals was undertaken on 18August 2022 for three weeks where 4 letters of objections were received and 2 letters of support.

1)     That the results of the consultation and objections received, be noted.

2)     That following careful consideration of the objections and comments received, authorisation be given to make and introduce the Traffic Regulation Order as advertised as detailed in the Schedules within the report and as shown on drawing numbers E9139-01 Rev B, E9139-02 Rev A, E9139-03 Rev A and E9139-04 Rev A, as soon as is practicable.

3)     That the objectors be informed of the decision made.

To introduce restrictions on parking, a 20mph speed limit and changes to traffic calming measures, in the interests of highway safety and to discourage obstruction of the highway.

Not progressing the proposals would be detrimental to road safety and access.

None.
