Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To consider the introduction and removal of
disabled parking bays in various residential roads in Old
Bracknell, Harmans Water, Bullbrook, Crown Wood, Great Hollands
North & South, Binfield with Warfield and Hanworth
Decision:
i) The formal objections received during the statutory consultation process and the corresponding Officer comments are noted;
ii) The position with regard to local ward Members comments received during
the informal consultation process is noted;
iii) 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.
