Decision details

To consider three objections and one comment in connection with the proposed introduction of waiting restrictions on various roads within the Beaufort Park Estate (see Appendix 2).

No objections or representations were made in respect of the proposed 20-mph speed limit zone.

I approve that the proposal be implemented as advertised.

This decision was published on 10 November 2023 and will come into force on 20 November 2023.

To ensure unfettered access is maintained for users of the highway, and for emergency vehicles, free of the obstruction of parked vehicles.

The need for parking restrictions has been identified following recorded access issues for emergency vehicles as a result of on-street parking. Parking surveys have identified key areas where on-street parking has taken place in the vicinity of turning heads and on sections of roads where the resultant carriageway width would restrict access for emergency vehicles.

Representations made to the advertised draft Order, in respect of the proposed waiting restrictions, listed in Appendix 2 have been considered.

Whilst the proposal for ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ restrictions, as advertised, would result in the loss of some lengths of highway which have been identified as being currently used for on-street parking, these areas are limited to within turning heads, or at the ends of roads, which provide space for vehicle manoeuvring. Some are also located where pedestrian routes abut the carriageway, and where the presence of on-street parking could hinder access by these users.

To:

(i)            Implement the proposals as advertised.

(ii)           Not implement the proposals.

(iii)       Implement the proposals with amendments.
