Sweetbriar Industrial Estate waiting restrictions - Norwich City Council

Suggestion that Woody’s Snack Bar on
Frensham Road is relocated away
from the junction to enable better
visibility for vehicles exiting Page
Road.
Albertine Close and Telford Close
business: Concern that parking
pressures will spread to other parts of
the industrial estate
asked to voluntarily relocate by the
transportation officer but they declined
to co-operate. The Snack Bar may be
subject to legal action from Norwich
City Council if it presents a road safety
hazard. Waiting restrictions in Options
2 and 3 seek to protect the junction of
Page Road and Frensham Road as
much as possible without the removal
of the Snack Bar.
Some roads on Sweetbriar are not
adopted and cannot have waiting
restrictions installed these include:
Elvin Way and Telford Close and most
site accesses off the main roads.
Private parking companies can be
utilised to protect non adopted roads
from unauthorised parking
Discussion
6. It is the officers view that an option based primarily on option 2 should be
pursued (in accordance with the results of the survey, but there are two local
issues (not originally shown on option 2, but included in other options). Namely
the provision of parking controls in Naylor Road, and the access to Elvin Way,
which were supported in the consultation by a majority of those affected and
should, therefore, be incorporated into the preferred option.
Conclusion
7. It is recommended that Option 2.1 as shown in plan PL/TR/3355/786-2.1 is
accepted for implementation which adds waiting restrictions at the entrance to
Elvin Way and on one side of the road and the turning head of Naylor Road.
8. As requested by businesses on these estate roads and generally reflected
overall in their voting for Option 3 which proposed more extensive waiting
restrictions for the estate.
9. This amendment reflects the needs of businesses that require access for larger
vehicles to access their premises. This is considered to take precedence over
the need for on street parking which can be accommodated in various locations
around the estate.
10. It appears that a number of businesses with customer or staff parking on estate
roads are causing obstruction and access difficulties for other businesses on
the estate which require HGV access.
