Decision details

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.
