Decision details

1. That the disabled parking bay at 1 Ure Bank Top be introduced as proposed and that the Director and Members note that this may impact upon parking opportunity for neighbouring residents.

2. That the disabled parking bay at 1 St Mark’s Terrace, Main Street, Kirk Deighton remain in-situ and be removed from the schedule for revocation and that the Director and Members note that this bay may be proposed for revocation in future TRO proposals, should circumstances change.

3. That the disabled parking bay at Hall Cottage, Main Street, Melmerby remain in-situ and be removed from the schedule for revocation and that the Director and Members note that this bay may be proposed for revocation in future TRO proposals, should circumstances change.

1. The reason for this recommendation is that while the resident has expressed concerns regarding the applicant’s requirement for a disabled bay and the impact this installation may have. The applicant has met both stage 1 and stage 2 criteria, after exploration there aren’t any viable alternatives solutions, the street is terraced housing where car widths can exceed housing widths and the area is not a residents parking zone. There is no guarantee that residents are able to park outside their own property and the likelihood is there will be little to no effect from the installation of a disabled parking bay.

2. & 3. The reason for this recommendation is that the original applicant for the bay is still a resident at this address and still holds a valid blue badge, there have been no changes to circumstance meaning they meet stage 1 and 2 criteria and therefore the bay is still required. The alternative solution is to revoke the bay then have the resident re-apply and then reinstall the bay, this is not time or cost effective and will impact the resident’s quality of life in the months this could take to process.
