February 20, 2024 Executive Member for Planning and Transport (Cabinet member) Key decision Approved View on council websiteFull council record
Purpose
To consider introduction and removal of
disabled parking bays in various residential roads in Bullbrook,
Easthampstead and Wildridings, Great Hollands, Hanworth, Harmans
Water and Crown Wood and Priestwood and Garth.
Decision
i.
That the formal objections received during the
statutory consultation process and the corresponding Officer
comments are noted;
ii.
That the position with regard to local ward Members
comments received during the informal consultation process is
noted;
iii.
That the Borough Solicitor be authorised to bring
the Disabled Parking Spaces Order into effect.
Reasons for the decision
To continue the Councils policy of marking out
disabled parking bays in residential streets that are heavily
parked and where disabled people may have trouble in finding a
parking space close enough to where they live without experiencing
real difficulty in getting from their car to their home.
Alternative options considered
To not install the disabled bays would result
in the applicants continuing to experience difficulty in getting to
and from their vehicle. To not remove un-needed disabled parking
bays would leave parking spaces unused that could relieve parking
pressures in the area.
