Introduction of the proposed waiting
restrictions as outlined in Appendix A of the report.
The Assistant Chief Executive (Legal and Democratic Services) be
authorised to allow the proposed introduction of the waiting
restrictions as illustrated on the plan in Appendix A of this
report (subject to any amendments and recommendations approved by
the Corporate Director Environment in consultation with the
Executive Member for Highways and Transportation in light of the
objections received) and that the objectors are notified within
fourteen days of 27 May 2026.
In recommending the implementation of the
proposed waiting restrictions it is considered that this will
enable the Council to comply with its duties under Section 122 of
the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to exercise its function as
road traffic authority so as to secure the expeditious, convenient
and safe movement of vehicular and other traffic (including
pedestrians).
The main alternative options considered
essentially related to a change to the proposed core times that the
proposed restriction would be in place along with the maximum
periods for waiting and return. The details chosen reflected the
consensus of the site meeting mentioned previously in this
report.
Members should be aware that the field to the immediate south of
the school has full planning consent for the construction of a
thirty-two-property residential development and as part of this the
developer is required to provide a fifteen-space school car park
adjacent to the boundary with the school. This will be accessed via
a new access road to the development from the B6271.
Furthermore if indiscriminate parking associated with the school is
observed around the junction of the access road to the development
and the B6271 following the opening of the car park then the
developer will also be obliged to cover the cost of this Council in
its role as Local Highway Authority introducing a system of formal
waiting restrictions.
There is presently no start date for the commencement of
development on the site.
