This report requests approval to undertake Statutory Consultation to amend the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to propose a One-Way restriction on Walker Lane, Wheldrake.

Resolved:   To approve Option B, which is to progress to statutory consultation to propose an amendment to the TRO and make Walker Lane one-way south to north from Main Street to North Lane.

Reason:      This eliminates the risk of vehicular conflict, meets the majority of consultees wishes, and provides better visibility owing to the ‘visplay’ available at the Walker Lane/North Lane junction.

Risk may remain of vehicles turning too sharply into Walker Lane striking the structure of 45 Main Street (as has previously happened), but this is thought less likely as the possibility of opposing conflict with oncoming vehicles has been eliminated.

This report recommends the removal of the HMO permit and moving all HMO properties to household permits.

Resolved:  To approve Option C, which is to remove the HMO Permit completely from the available permits. This would require all HMO permit holders moving to household permits with the inflationary cost for second and third permits, all properties would be restricted to three permits.

Reason:     This removes confusion for the applicant and customer service officers, who advise on permits in respect of HMO types.  Although there may be some changes due to capacity, these should not be large.
