Decision details

Considerations of responses to parking proposals included within the Outer Area TRO 2015.

The Cabinet Member AGREES that the proposals be implemented, modified or withdrawn as below:

Restrictions as detailed on plans B4 and C4

Roads affected: Wellow Lane, Braysdown Lane and Tyning Road in Peasedown St. John
Restriction: Prohibit and Restrict Parking At Any Time
Decision: That the proposals are modified to only include restrictions around the junctions of Braysdown Lane and Tyning Road. The restrictions affecting the southern side of Wellow Lane should be removed at this time due to the expressed wishes of Peasedown Parish Council on the grounds of the limited availability of on-street parking in this area. The restrictions affecting the northern side of Wellow Lane, west of the junction with Wellow Tyning, should also be removed on similar grounds.

Restrictions as detailed on plan A2

Road affected: Church Road in Peasedown St. John
Restriction: Prohibit and Restrict Parking At Any Time
Decision: That the proposal is implemented as advertised with the support of Peasedown Parish Council, receiving no objections. It is also intended, at the wish of the Parish Council, that the location is monitored for a possible extension of the restrictions in future proposals if needed.

Restrictions as detailed on plan C3

Road affected: Russett Way in Peasedown St. John
Restriction: Prohibit and Restrict Parking At Any Time
Decision: That the proposal is withdrawn at this time as the Council received 3 objections and only one response of support, with the location not deemed as having exceptional safety concerns.

Restrictions as detailed on plans C4, D3 and D4

Roads affected: Foxcote Avenue and Roman Way in Peasedown St. John, that make up the Bath Business Park
Restriction: Prohibit and Restrict Parking At Any Time
Decision: That the proposals are withdrawn at this time as the Council received 11 objections. One response of support was received, however this response also stated that the proposals as advertised wouldn’t solve the problems faced in this area. Since the proposals were drafted a new management company has been appointed to maintain the Business Park and were not made aware of these proposals by the previous company. As such, it is recommended that location is re-examined separate to this Order.

It is recommended that rest of the restrictions affecting Church Street, further west from this point, are withdrawn at this time due to the high number of objections received by the Council.

Roads affected: Norton Lane in Whitchurch
Restriction: 3 Hour Limited Waiting, Mon – Fri, 8am – 6pm, No Return Within 2 Hours
Decision: That the proposal is implemented as advertised as no objections were received.

The proposals were developed as the result of the concerns of the Traffic & Safety, Parking and Traffic Management Team, Ward Councillors and local residents caused by increasing problems related to parking, which is becoming a greater concern on many streets around Bath & North East Somerset due to the increasing volume of vehicles on our roads and the growing number of vehicles parking inappropriately. There are no rights to park on the highway but parking is condoned where the right of passage along the highway is not impeded. The consideration of objections to the introduction of controls has to be considered in this context. There is also no legal right to park on the highway either outside a property or even within a specific street, however a number of the comments received stated that the parking situation in some of these locations is self-regulating between residents and that new restrictions are not required. The Council therefore due to the strength and number of objections towards some of the proposals recommended they be abandoned at this time.

To implement all restrictions as advertised

This option was rejected based on the public feedback and objections to the proposals as advertised.

Not to implement any of the schemes

This option was rejected as the proposals recommended for implementation improve the parking and traffic flow on the specified roads.
