The plan to develop land on Briery Bank Arnside does not consider existing parking problems on the
adjacent area of Briery Bank and how the development will avoid adding to these problems. Illegal
parking on the bend just below Stoneycroft Drive and opposite the Stoneycroft Drive junction with Briery Bank
is already dangerous, likey to cause accidents and no parking enforcement appears to have occured. Parking is
a particular problem on a Saturday afternoon when the upper part of Briery Bank is frequently down to one
lane only without passing places and traffic coming up Briery Bank not slowing down before the StoneyCroft
Drive junction. Parking on the bends further down Briery Bank is also a problem and is likely to result in accidents
from allowing insufficent space for two way traffic on the hill to pass. These problems are already progressively
getting worse. Adequate parking for two vehicles per new home needs to be considered and how parking will
controlled on Briery Bank to prevent use of a new junction on or near a bend not being hazadous. Although a
small carpark was provided for a recent housing development on Briery Bank just below the telephone exchange
this is only poorly used with residents prefering to park on Briery Bank.
1.6 Please set out what modification(s) you consider necessary to resolve your objection and make the DPD legally compliant or sound, having regard to the matter(s) you have identified above. (Please note that any non-compliance with the Duty to Cooperate is incapable of modification at examination). You will need to say why this modification will make the DPD legally compliant or sound. It will be helpful if you are able to put forward your suggested revised wording of any policy or text. Please be as precise as possible.
Adequate parking provision of more than 1 vehicle per houshold is needed for the proposed new homes and
parking control on Briery Bank to prevent existing illegal and dagerous parking is required for this
development.
