Oxford: Rose Hill - proposed Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ)

We're asking for your views on the proposal to formally install a new Minimum Impact (low signage) CPZ in the Rose Hill area of Oxford. This follows on from the ‘informal’ consultation carried out in 2021, and the subsequent approval given to progress to formal consultation at a later date following the implementation of previously approved CPZs in other locations.

It is proposed that the scheme would be introduced as a ‘Permit Parking Area’ (PPA) which uses entry and repeater signs to inform motorists of the restrictions in place (e.g. no bay markings), with operational hours for the zone for ‘Residents Permit Parking’ being Monday to Sunday between 8am and 6.30pm. Non-permit holders will be eligible to park for a maximum of 2 hours with no return within 2 hours during these hours. This affords residents & visitors the flexibility of where they can park and reduces the amount of sign and line clutter.

The following roads will however include parking places for permit holders between 8am to 6.30pm all days, with non-permit holders permitted to park in the signed bays only for ‘3 hours with no return within 2 hours’ Monday to Sunday 8am to 6.30pm: adjacent to the retail premises in Courtland Road, and in Rose Hill service road adjacent to retail premises, replacing the existing time limited waiting restrictions.

Additional waiting restrictions in the form of ‘Prohibition of waiting at any time’ (double yellow lines) will be introduced in parts of: Ashurst Way, Courtland Road, Dashwood Road, Oxford Road, and on Rose Hill service road adjacent to retail premises, with all other existing double yellow lines will remain as currently marked.

The existing Single Yellow Lines (No Waiting 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Saturday) will be changed to Double Yellow Lines in Courtland Road, and on Rose Hill service road adjacent to retail premises, whilst the current ‘School Keep Clear’ markings on Lenthall Road & The Oval will be accompanied with a formalised restriction of ‘No Stopping 8am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 4.30pm Monday to Friday’.
