Objections to TRO (No.9) Order 2019 – A636 Wakefield Rd/Pennine Way, Scissett

 

The Committee considered a report which outlined objections received in response to the public advertisement of Kirklees (TR) (No 9) Order 2019, proposed No waiting at any time restrictions, at the junction of A636 Wakefield Road/Pennine Way, Scissett and the introduction of traffic calming in the form of road humps on Pennine Way, Scissett.

 

The Committee was advised that the restrictions on Wakefield Road/Pennine Way and the introduction of 3 road humps on Pennine Way contained in Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), have been proposed in connection with Planning.  Planning permission was granted for the ‘erection of residential development of up to 200 dwellings and the approval proposed that as part of the planning conditions, traffic calming and safety improvements are required to Penning Way and its junction with Wakefield Road.

 

The TRO was publicly advertised between 2 August 2019 and 3 September 2019 and during that period 2 objections were received.  The objectors raised concerns with regard to the increased pollution as vehicles slow down then speed up to navigate the bumps and; that the proposed parking restrictions are shorter than the standard visibility splay length and this will continue to reduce visibility for drivers exiting from the junction.

 

Having considered the information presented both verbally and in writing the committee:

 

RESOLVED – That the objections be overruled and the traffic calming and TRO proposals are implemented as advertised.
