Decision status: For Determination

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To consider the introduction of parking restrictions in Court Orchard, Fownhope near to St. Mary's C of E Primary School access to alleviate the parking congestion prevalent on the bend where the forward visibility and passing room is being severely compromised by parked vehicles.

 

Decision:

THAT:-

(a)    having carefully considered all comments received, a Traffic Regulation Order   be implemented the effect of which will introduce waiting restrictions on the road as detailed below:

 

Prohibition of waiting at any time:

U72216 Court Orchard:

i)      On the north side from a point 200 metres in a northerly then westerly direction from its junction with the B4224 for a distance of 51 metres in a westerly direction.

 

Any previous TRO, or part TRO, relating to the above, shall be revoked on implementation of the above said provisions.

 

Reasons for the decision:

The removal of parking in Court Orchard, Fownhope near to St. Mary's C of E Primary School access around the bend on the opposite side to the existing “school keep clear” markings will allow for the passage of traffic in both directions along Court Orchard and reduce the parking congestion prevalent on the bend and improve the forward visibility and passing room for vehicles.

The implementation of the proposed parking restrictions is required for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising and for preserving or improving the amenities of the area through which the road runs.

 

Alternative options considered:

That the proposed parking restrictions are not implemented and the existing unregulated parking around the bend in Court Orchard, Fownhope, opposite St Mary's C of E Primary School entrance is retained.
