Objections to Kirklees TR No 4 Order 2019, Proposed No Waiting At Any Time restrictions, South Street and Warren Street, Savile Town.    

Wards Affected: Dewsbury South

Contact: Karen North, Senior Technical Officer, Tel: 01484 221000

RESOLVED:

That the objections be overruled and the TRO proposals are implemented as advertised, to allow the approved planning conditions to be discharged with regard to the drop and go zone and allow the previously approved waiting restrictions on Warren Street to be implemented

The Committee considered a report which outlined objections received in response to the public advertisement of Kirklees (TR) (No 4) Order 2019, the proposed introduction of additional ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ parking restrictions on South Street and Warrant Street Savile Town.

The Committee was advised that Planning permission was granted for “Demolition of the existing building and the erection of a 3 storey educational facility, at South Street. The approval proposed that as part of the planning conditions, the provision of ‘drop off and pick up’ zones on South Street must be provided. The Committee was informed that a ‘drop off and pick up’ zone cannot be implemented, as there are no legal mechanisms to do so and therefore for that reason, it was proposed to use double yellow lines to facilitate this requirement. In response to the advertised order, 45 objections were received. 

The Committee was informed that the restrictions were necessary to ensure safety, and to reduce risk to children accessing the centre. In addition, efforts were being made to work with the ward councillors to manage traffic and traffic flow problems. Local councillors have also asked for enforcement to be carried out in the area.

The Committee heard representations from local residents who questioned the rational for granting planning approval for a building with no parking facilities. They expressed concern that the approval of this building would do nothing to ease the congestion as the centre would attract people from outside the area and would further exacerbate the situation and create a backlog of traffic and severely affect local residents’ ability to park outside their own homes. 

The Committee recognised that this is a high density area however the authority’s primary concern is to improve safety. The introduction of the scheme would reduce congestions in the area, improve visibility and access at and around the junction where child pedestrian accidents had previously been recorded. 

Officers made a commitment to talk to the Mosques to reinforce what was previously agreed with regard to managing the traffic.

RESOLVED - That the objections be overruled and the TRO proposals are implemented as advertised, to allow the approved planning conditions to be discharged with regard to the drop and go zone and allow the previously approved waiting restrictions on Warren Street to be implemented
