The report of the Strategic Director of Place (Document “H”) dealt with four objections received in response to the formal advertising of a permit parking scheme on Wrose View, Wrose, Shipley.

As part of planning conditions attached to Planning Application 18/04869/FUL, and in the interests of road safety and traffic management, there was a requirement to promote a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) regarding a proposed permit parking scheme on Wrose View, Wrose. The report seeks approval to promote the TRO and considered the four objections received in response to the advertising of that proposed legal Order.

Approval was granted to promote a Traffic Regulation Order involving a proposed Permit Holders Only parking scheme on Wrose View, Wrose -  this provision forming part of Planning Application 18/04869/FUL which involved a proposed extension to Low Ash Primary School, Wrose Road, to cater for an additional 210 pupils.

The development included an additional pedestrian access point from Wrose View into the school playground. This would likely entice parents to use Wrose View to park at school drop-off and collection times. Overspill parking from the new staff car park would also likely take place on Wrose View as a result of the proposed development. As such, a residents permit parking scheme was required on Wrose View to help ensure the planning proposal did not give rise to vehicular obstruction.

The Principal Engineer, Traffic and Highways North Principal Engineer presented the report and provided photographs to illustrate parking which took place on the grass verge on Wrose View.  He explained that the demand for permits would be assessed before offering any discretionary permits.

A member commented that a number of properties on Wrose View had driveways or garages and as there were facilities for off street parking he was of the opinion that there would be little need for permits.  In response the Principal Engineer noted that the policy would be adapted to local needs to take account of such thigs as school traffic locking driveways.

A member noted that there could be significant issues for a small number of properties on Wrose Road and asked whether they could be included.  The Principal Engineer responded that they wanted to avoid over subscription by none residents and that it was not appropriate to offer discretionary permits until demand had been assessed.  He confirmed that requests for permits from residents would be assessed prior to implementation and discretionary permits would be offered if demand allowed.

It was noted that the proposals were supported by ward members to maintain the current position if the rear aces to the school opened up.

Resolved –

1.    That the objections be overruled and the proposed permit parking scheme be approved and implemented as formally advertised.

2.    That an appraisal be carried out regarding the number of parking permits issued to Wrose View residents and the extent that those permits are utilised, with a view to determining the scope for the issuing of Special Permits to non Wrose View residents.

3.    That the objectors be advised accordingly.
