Statement of Reasons

As part of the approval for a new development, in the vicinity of Church Street – Eccles. There is a need to review the parking, loading and waiting restrictions to ensure they as far as possible support the new development and ensure highway safety is maintained.

It is essential to provide appropriate loading bays for the retail units, protect the new access point for the development from inconsiderate and obstructive parking, so that access is maintained for all vehicles but especially service and emergency vehicles.

It is intended to maintain as much of the existing limited waiting facilities as possible, maintaining the short-term parking, which will benefits the new development and continue to help support other local business in the area.

The proposals will also protect the pedestrian crossing points and maintain forward visibility, for both drivers and pedestrians.

As such it is proposed to implement revised No Waiting at Any Time restrictions, amended limited waiting restrictions, provision of two loading bays and the provision of an order to cover the two existing Car Club parking bays on Vicarage Road.

The proposals are aimed at maintaining highway safety, with the implementation of measures that will support the development and protect the area from inconsiderate and obstructive parking. It is also aimed at maintaining as much of the existing limited waiting parking as possible, supporting local businesses.
