“The Planning Enforcement Officer advised that he had received written confirmation from Winterbourne International Academy that spaces will be made available at the school.”

“In response to issues raised, the Highway Officer explained that the proposal would not result in an impact on the highway network due to the increased pedestrian movements along Church Lane. It was noted that the proposal set out a number of mitigation measures within the revised Event Car Parking Management Plan, which were considered sufficient to mitigate the resultant impact to an acceptable level.”

“Councillor Tristan Clark noted that pre-event notices would encourage visitors to bring a torch if walking the lanes and considered that the Event Car Parking Management Plan could go further through the provision of Hi- Viz armbands to visitors parking at Winterbourne International Academy.”

“The Solicitor advised that this could be achieved through the imposition of an Informative.”

“Councillor Tristan Clark moved that planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out within the report and an Informative regarding the Event Car Parking Management Plan and the provision of Hi-Viz armbands to visitors parking at Winterbourne International Academy.”

“RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out within the report and an Informative regarding the Event Car Parking Management Plan and the provision of Hi-Viz armbands to visitors parking at Winterbourne International Academy.”
