Decision:
Approved
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Highway Management considered responses received to a statutory consultation on proposed no waiting at any time restrictions on the A4260 Oxford Road, Bicester Road and Blenheim Road as a result of adjacent residential development.
County Councillor Ian Middleton reiterated his support for the proposals but raised more general concerns about planning consents given for the intensification of residential development in the village and the consequent additional parking pressures created, noting that even where off highway parking had been provided within the developments, that was often insufficient to meet the actual demand by residents and their visitors.
County Councillor Nigel Simpson reiterated his support commenting that while currently there was no major problem specifically where the proposals applied, the adjacent development would increase pressures noting that there were appreciable parking pressures further north on Blenheim Road causing particular difficulties at the junctions of Alexander Close, Honor Close and Croft Road and highlighting that further measures would be needed to address those issues.
Noting the comments from the two local members along with the information set out in the report before him the Cabinet Member for Highway Management confirmed his decision as follows:
to approve the no waiting at any time restrictions as advertised.
