Statement of reasons

Due to the construction of a new development on Chapel Street, backing on to North Star Drive and adjacent to Islington Street. It has been necessary to review the existing parking arrangements, access, loading and parking restrictions in this vicinity.

Following the review if was deemed necessary to make amendments to existing restrictions to accommodate the new road layout, access arrangements and need for limited waiting parking and a loading bay to service the new development.

Which will require amendments to the existing 'No Waiting At Any Time' restrictions, limited waiting bays. Along with the provision of new “Goods loading only” bay and a Prohibition of driving order.

To ensure safe access and egress in to and out of the access to the new development off North Star Drive. As well as providing the necessary loading and unloading facilities required, maintaining the flow of pedestrians and vehicular traffic along this road and also maintaining the limited waiting, parking facility.
