Decision:

Having had due regard to the integrated impact assessment:

·        That the objection be overruled in full to the (Quarr Road, Pontardawe) (Disabled Residents Parking Places) Order 2023 (as detailed in Appendix A to the circulated report), and that the scheme be implemented as advertised at the earliest convenience.

·        That the objector be notified of the decision accordingly.

Reason for Decision:

Having due regard to the objection that was received, and also the letter of support, there were many factors that were considered before making the proposed decision.

Due to the Topography of Quarr road there was a strong case for the scheme to be implemented as the road was at a steep gradient. The applicant met all the criteria to apply for an Individual Disabled Parking Place.

In regards to point 3 of the objection summery; the resident was concerned that any blue badge holder would be able to park in the bay, this was deemed not to be true. Only the occupier of number 21 will be able to apply for the disabled parking permit in relation to this bay, and the council parking enforcement team were able to check this with the vehicle registration linked to the proposed permit.

Implementation of Decision:

The decision will be implemented after the three day call in period, which ended at 9am, Saturday 18 November 2023.
