Report of the Executive Head of Planning and Transportation (ENCLOSURE).

Resolved: To note the summary of progress on enforcement action in the period 1 September 2011 to 29 February 2012.

Report of the Executive Head of Planning and Transportation (ENCLOSURE).

The Committee considered a report on the above application for an increase in vehicle movements associated with the night time delivery of local authority waste to the waste reception building from 60 to 86 (43 vehicle movements in and 43 vehicle movements out) (variation of condition 5 of previously approved application No. D2009/61205/FUL, which states “the number of vehicle movements associated with night time delivery of local authority waste to the waste reception building (Monday to Friday 17.30 to 07.00 hours and Friday 17.30 to Saturday 07.00 hours) shall not exceed 60 (30 vehicle movements in and 30 vehicle movements out) unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority”).

In response to questions officers explained that this application and any other similar application to increase the number of vehicle movements in Beddington Lane would each have to be considered on their merits, but it was thought that the small increase now applied for would not cause harm.  Highways engineers would report any view that an increase in traffic would lead to overloading of Beddington Lane, but it was noted that other officers were reported to have expressed a view that there was a limit to the additional traffic that could be accommodated on the Borough’s roads.  The application followed a change in the Council’s waste collection arrangements and so it was expected that all of the additional vehicle movements would be generated within the Borough.

Councillor Pathumal Ali, a ward councillor, addressed the meeting under Standing Order 32.

The principal issues raised by Councillor Ali were:-

·         Heavy goods vehicles in a small village lane had taken their toll on the road and residents

·         Impact of additional noise and pollution

·         Residents had been reassured their voices would be heard

·         The Overview and Scrutiny Committee’s report on waste disposal proposals had been welcomed

·         The Overview and Scrutiny Committee had highlighted the issue of traffic

·         Council officers worked in ‘silos’ – one group working with residents to achieve their aims and another working to achieve targets for waste

·         If permission was granted a specific route should be enforced

In response to a question Councillor Ali agreed that if the Council could enforce the use of Coomber Way, for example, that could lessen the impact of the additional traffic movements, but allowing traffic movements throughout the day and night was not ideal.

Members noted that the use of Coomber Way could reduce slightly the effect of the increased traffic movements from Croydon but all other traffic would use Beddington Lane from the north or the south, and it was expected that all of the additional traffic would be generated within the Borough.  A planning condition requiring the use of a particular route would be virtually impossible to enforce because it would relate to the public highway and not the application site.  Members concluded that whilst they might not wish to see an increase in the number of traffic movements in Beddington Lane there was a need reluctantly to accept such an increase.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 469.
