Decision details

Objections to Waiting Restrictions Outside 278-282 Burgess Road (TRO)

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To consider a report of the Head of Highways and Parking Services outlining outstanding objections to proposed waiting restrictions outside 278-282 Burgess Road and review the proposals accordingly.

Decision:

(i)  To approve a "No Waiting at Any Time" restriction of 5m outside 278-282 Burgess Road.

(ii)  That the parking restriction is reviewed in 12 months time to establish whether the scheme has addressed potential safety and congestion issues. 

Reasons for the decision:

The restricted area would be for loading and unloading by goods vehicles between 8am and 1pm every day, while serving as an unrestricted parking area the rest of the time.  The purpose of the waiting restriction is to keep the area around the Methodist Church access clear of parked vehicles and to give easier access for delivery lorries to the parking bay.

Alternative options considered:

  1. Locate the loading bay across the frontages of numbers to 280 and 282 without any additional "No Waiting at Any Time" restriction. This would save two parking spaces but would add to visibility problems at the vehicular access to Swaythling Methodist Church.
  2. Do nothing -- this would not address potential safety and congestion issues or fulfil the aims of the delivery plan for the site.
