Cabinet Member Report – 13 August 2021 Page 2 Part 1 Public Alternative options considered / risk management None at this stage. Select Committee comments None at this stage. SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. Linden Avenue is a residential road, close to Ruislip Manor Station, Victoria Road with all its shops and a school. A location plan of the area is shown as Appendix A to this report. 2. As a result of officers' on- site observations, proposals were developed to implement 'At Any Time' waiting restrictions on Linden Avenue northeast of Chudleigh Way as shown on the plan attached as Appendix B. 3. The proposal was taken through the statutory 21-day consultation process, which included consulting with the emergency services and bus operating companies, in addition to the placing of advertisements in the local press, the London Gazette and the display of public notices on site. During this period, the Council received two objections to the proposed 'At Any Time' waiting restrictions from residents. 4. One objector stated, “I am in favour of having a shortened set of double yellow road so that we can park one of our cars there.” 5. The other objector stated, “The extension of the double white lines will reduce the parking for residents 7 days a week and add to the already difficult situation.” 6. After careful consideration of the comment received to the statutory consultation, officers' site observations, it is recommended that the Cabinet Member agrees to postpone the extension of 'At Any Time' waiting restrictions in Linden Avenue. 7. The complaints from the residents were passed to the Ward Councillors, who made the decision not to support the extension of the yellow lines. Financial Implications There are no direct financial implications associated with the recommendations to this report. RESIDENT BENEFIT & CONSULTATION Cabinet Member Report – 13 August 2021 Page 3 Part 1 Public The benefit or impact upon Hillingdon residents, service users and communities? The recommendation of this report is to postpone the extension of the 'At Any Time' waiting restrictions on Linden Avenue as proposed due to the objections of local residents. Consultation carried out or required Statutory 21-day consultation undertaken. CORPORATE CONSIDERATIONS Corporate Finance Corporate Finance has reviewed this report, confirming that there are no direct financial implications associated with the recommendations to this report. Legal The decision makers must ensure that there is full consideration of the representations that have been received in exercising the power to postpone the proposal for 'At Any Time' waiting restrictions on Linden Avenue, Ruislip. The consultation and order making statutory procedures that should be followed in this case are set out in The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedures) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996 (SI 1996/2489). If the decision is taken to make the proposed order, Part V of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 set out the signage requirements, which must be observed. In considering consultation responses, section 122 of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 means that the Council must balance the concerns of the objectors with the statutory duty to secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of vehicular and other traffic. There are a set of well-established common law rules which set out the requirements of a lawful public consultation which are known as the Gunning principles. They were endorsed by th e Supreme Court in the Moseley case. The principles can be summarised as follows: • Consultation should occur when proposals are at a formative stage; • Consultations should give sufficient reasons for any proposal to permit intelligent consideration; • Consultations should allow adequate time for consideration and response; and • The product of consultation should conscientiously be taken into account by the decision maker. Cabinet Member Report – 13 August 2021 Page 4 Part 1 Public There are a very significant number of judicial review cases which involve successful challenges to the lawfulness of a consultation undertaken by a public authority, so it is imperative that the Gunning principles are closely followed in this case. Infrastructure / Asset Management None at this stage. Comments from other relevant service areas None at this stage. BACKGROUND PAPERS None.
