Question:
Could an NCC Highways Officer assess traffic concerns related to the planning application for 2 London Road (Selbourne House), 2024/0410, involving the installation of a new gated driveway?
Answer:
The resident was directed to the SNDC planning portal to review comments submitted by consultees, including the Town Council, members of the public, and NCC Highways. Any additional comments are encouraged to be added to the portal for the planning authority to receive and review. It’s important to note that while the Town Council is a consultee, it is not the planning authority.

Question:
Point 1: Why was a bench placed on the pavement along the Thoroughfare?
Point 2: Concerns were raised about bad parking, parking enforcement, and the need for more frequent traffic wardens (Civil Enforcement Officers – CEOs).
Answer:
Point 1: The bench was installed to provide a resting spot for individuals with disabilities who are utilizing the Town car park. Additionally, this area is not designated for parking, and the bench serves to discourage parking on the pavement.
Point 2: The Town Council will address this issue with the district council, as they are responsible for parking enforcement.
