‘Desire to pray could cause parking problems at proposed new Preston mosque’, inquiry told

However, a transport planner appearing at the inquiry as a witness for Broughton Parish Council – which opposes the mosque plan – said he believed that the “turnaway policy” for people who arrive without having had a parking spot allocated to them was “one of the weaknesses” of a system that was designed to reduce traffic problems.
Christiaan Zwart, the barrister for the applicant, Cassidy + Ashton, challenged Mr. Millership to come up with a “creative” solution, as encouraged by national planning policy, which suggests attempts should be made to overcome problems that might otherwise block development. He said that the risk of drivers breaking the rules was increased by the fact that there were no other parallel roads on which they could park instead – but he agreed that another possible solution was to ensure that Lancashire County Council carried out parking enforcement activity in the area.
Mr Zwart said that the inclusion of a raised “table” feature at the entrance to the mosque – as Mr. Millership had suggested could be used – would enhance safety yet further. “There are three or four points where people can turn around already, so the point that you made…about [how] a vehicle stopping brings everything to a standstill – it’s not reality,” Mr. Murtza said.
