Disabled persons parking place - assessment criteria
Ayrshire Roads Alliance must decide:
-
- whether it is possible to identify a suitable on-road parking place from which there is convenient access to the applicant’s address.
-
- that the provision of the disabled parking place will not compromise safe and efficient traffic management locally.
A bay may not be provided if:
-
- the bay would be located within 15 metres of a junction.
-
- the bay would be located within a turning facility.
-
- the bay would be likely to cause an obstruction.
-
- the bay is not on a road which the Roads Authority maintains (if so, a request should be made directly to those who have management responsibilities for these areas such as a housing association or factor)
-
- Any disabled parking place provided should not be considered as a parking space reserved for the sole use of the applicant or any other individual.
-
- The applicant must inform Ayrshire Roads Alliance if the bay requires renewal or for any reason is no longer required.
-
- Renewals require the applicant to complete a new application.
