3 TRO 38 Warblington Street Disabled Parking Bay pdf icon PDF 202 KB

The report by the Director of Transport, Environment and Business Support to is to consider the objection to the disabled bay proposed in Warblington Street next to no.2 South Normandy, within Old Portsmouth residents' parking zone (KA).

 

RECOMMENDED that the disabled bay is installed within the existing parking bay adjacent to the garden of no.2 South Normandy, just before the garage.

Decision:

That the disabled bay is installed within the existing parking bay adjacent to the garden of no.2 South Normandy, just before the garage, with the exact extent of the parking space to be determined, ensuring that appropriate space is provided for the designated vehicle, and access to the garage is maintained.

Minutes:

 

Pam Turton, Assistant Director of Transport, Environment & Business Support, presented the report setting out the background to the siting of the parking bay and the aim to prioritise the needs of a disabled resident.

 

A deputation was made by Mr Christie whose points included:

·         He did not wish to object to the bay but to the exact siting next to the demarcation of his garage

·         It is a busy road and parked cars had been damaged

·         He was concerned that there would be restricted access to his garage

·         There are 4 cars' space available when considering the exact location and it would be preferable to be the 2nd space behind the proposed spot

·         He requested that it be moved 76cm back so there is no overhang to the garage access

·         The space could be used by any disabled badge holder

 

Denise Bastow, Parking Office Manager, commented on the potential of re-siting the disabled space by 76 cm, which would not give the optimum use of the highway, and explained that an extra 1m (than the applicant's vehicle length) was usually given to help with access.

 

In response to questions from Councillors Bosher and Stagg, Mrs Bastow reported that the existing stretch was currently marked as one long parking bay, rather than individual parking bays.

 

Councillor Bosher, as Cabinet Member for Traffic & Transportation, wanted officers to speak to the applicant and affected resident so that a compromise to be found for the granting of the Traffic Regulation Order for the parking bay whilst the exact demarcation allowed access to Mr Christie's garage.

 

DECISION: That the disabled bay is installed within the existing parking bay adjacent to the garden of no.2 South Normandy, just before the garage, with the exact extent of the parking space to be determined, ensuring that appropriate space is provided for the designated vehicle, and access to the garage is maintained.
