Decision details

The introduction of a new residential disabled parking bay at 10 Overgreen View, Burniston is approved, as shown in the plan contained in Appendix A of the report.
The Assistant Chief Executive (Legal and Democratic Services) be authorised to seal the relevant Traffic Regulation Order by the Corporate Director – Environment and Executive Member for Highways and Transportation in light of the objections received and that the objectors are notified of the making of the Order within 14 days of it being made.

The resident has requested to be provided with a disabled parking space within walking distance of their home. The eligibility criteria for this application have been met after undergoing the Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessments.
Guidance on Local Transport Plans published in 2009 imparts on local highway authorities a specific duty to “have regard to the needs of disabled people”. This resulted in the consultation exercise carried out recently.
The officer recommendations made in this report result from careful scrutiny of the responses received from the consultation exercise. One response indicated an objection to the proposal. After scrutiny the reasons stated in the objection are considered not strong enough to uphold against supporting the needs of the applicant. More detailed explanations are given in Appendix C.
The assessment criteria have been met so no practical reasons were found to refuse the application.
Consultation has also taken place with the local elected member for the ward where the application is located. The local member offered the following comment: I can fully support this as in my opinion it does not affect access or egress from any “A “road or constitute a nuisance or danger to any other persons.’

The alternative would be not to consider it.
