Decision details

The Committee considered a report regarding the objections received to the proposed waiting restrictions at Under Lane and Old Kiln Lane, Grotton. A report recommending the introduction of prohibition of waiting restrictions on Under Lane and Old Kiln Lane, Grotton, was approved under delegated powers on 22 December 2023. The proposal was subsequently advertised, and 20 objections and 12 supporting letters were received and attached as  Appendix B and C to the report. The report summarised the main points made together with the Council’s comments.

Ward councillors had been consulted and no objections received. One ward councillor had expressed support for the proposed Order.

Options Considered:

Option 1. Introduce the proposed restrictions as advertised.

Option 2. Relax the proposal to maintain some on-street parking options for residents.

Option 3. To not introduce the proposed restrictions.

The recommended option was Option 1 – to introduce the restrictions as advertised, as this option best addressed the safety concerns raised about visibility and road safety at the junctions.

RESOLVED:

That the objection be dismissed and the proposal be introduced as advertised in accordance with the schedule and plan in the original report.

NOTE: An objector, a supporter, and a Ward Councillor addressed the Panel on the application.
