Decision details

The Highway Regulation Committee considered a report regarding objections received to proposed waiting restrictions at Sandy Lane, Dobcross. A report recommending the introduction of prohibition of waiting restrictions on Sandy Lane, Dobcross, was approved under delegated powers on 22 December 2023. The proposal was subsequently advertised, and thirteen objections were received along with one supporting letter.
Highway Regulation Committee on 18 July 2024 considered the objections and resolved that consideration be deferred to the next meeting and asked officers to meet with Ward Members with a view to relaxing the length of the proposed restrictions. A site meeting had taken place and a revised proposal plan had been drafted which was supported by Ward Members. The amended proposal maintained the majority of on-street spaces whilst also protecting the two main pinch points where the main obstruction takes place over narrow sections of carriageway. The amended plan was attached at Appendix 2 to the report.
On 26 September 2024 the Highway Regulation Committee recommended that the objections be dismissed and the amended proposal be introduced as shown on the amended plan at Appendix 2 of to the report considered by the Committee.
