Decision details

To:

(i)              Consider objections to the proposed introduction of ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ (NWAAT) restrictions at various locations in Lower Bemerton, Salisbury.

(ii)             Recommend the making of the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) with minor amendments to the advertised proposals.

DECISION MADE

I approve that:

(i)       The TRO be implemented as advertised, subject to:

•         The length of the waiting restrictions outside No. 87 Lower Road to be reduced in length by a distance of up to 3.0 metres.

(ii)      Objectors and supporters be informed accordingly.

This decision was published on 14 October 2015 and will come into force on  22 October 2015.  

Shortening the length of the proposed NWAAT restrictions outside No. 87 Lower Road by a short distance of up to 3.0 metres would not unduly diminish the intended purpose of the restriction at this location and would also increase the amount of parking space available for local residents. Making such a change would be concordant with the Council’s approach of seeking to minimise the amount of NWAAT restrictions in Lower Bemerton and achieving the best balance possible between meeting its statutory obligations, addressing the road safety concerns raised and retaining parking spaces.

To:

(i)       Implement the proposals as advertised.

(ii)      Abandon the proposals.

(iii)      Implement the proposals with minor amendments.
