Appendix 1 – Proposal where objections are recommended to not be upheld and are recommended to be implemented as advertised

 

1.            Hill Crest Court, Hill Crest Road, Newhaven (Councillor James MacCleary)

1.1         The proposal at this location is to formalise an existing advisory disabled persons' badge holders parking place.

1.2         Two objections have been received, on the grounds that parking in the area is limited, the number of vehicles has significantly increased over the last few years, and that the applicant is not actually disabled. One item of support has been received.

1.3         The proposal follows a request from a blue badge holder resident as the advisory bay is not being respected by vehicles without a blue badge. The applicant has been assessed and meets the eligibility criteria for the provision of an on-street disabled persons' badge holders parking place.

1.4         Having considered the objections, officers are satisfied that there are not sufficient grounds for the proposals to be withdrawn.

1.5         At the time of writing, Councillor MacCleary has not replied to provide their views regarding the recommendation.

1.6         Recommendation: To not uphold the objections and install the proposal as advertised.
