Pooleys and Huggins
A consultation for parking in Pooleys and Huggins area, Welham Green began in late September 2024. Residents in the consultation roads will receive a letter via post inviting them to take part in the survey.
Public Notice
We have sent a letter to all households within the consultation area addressed to the Occupier.
A Traffic Regulation Order was advertised on Wednesday 21 May 2025. It was advertised as sealed on Wednesday 5 November 2025, and can be seen on the following documents page.
Parking restrictions will start on Monday 1 December 2025.
Details on how to apply for a parking permit, and relevant prices can be seen at: Parking permits
Note: You can only apply for a permit if you live at an eligible address, and the vehicle is registered/insured at the permit address. A permit is only needed to park on the public highway, and no permit to park off the road on private property.
Restrictions
Resident Permit Zone
A resident permit zone for Pooleys Lane, Huggins Lane, Frowick Close, Puttocks Drive and Puttocks Close. Zone F04 Monday to Friday 10am to 3pm. Only properties with eligible addresses within those roads could apply for a permit if approved.
Double Yellow Lines
Double yellow lines for some short parts of Pooleys Lane, Huggins Lane, Frowick Close, Puttocks Drive and Puttocks Close.
Verge and Footway Prohibition Order (VFPO)
We are also prohibiting parking on public verges and footways in Pooleys Lane, Huggins Lane and Puttocks Drive, where the carriageway is more than 4.5m wide. A VFPO also covers vehicle crossovers which form part of the public highway and where it is not owned by a property. It is a parking restriction giving enforcement officers powers to issue fines rather than a physical measure such as bollards.
The public documents can be seen on the following page.
Decision making
As written objections were received, a report was presented at the CPPP meeting (Agenda for Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel) on Thursday 18 September 2025 at 19:30 in the Council Chamber, Council Offices, Welwyn Garden City.
CPPP unanimously decided to approve the proposals.
Next Steps
Signs and lines are being installed ready for start of restrictions on Monday 1 December 2025. 3 months after the start, a review period form will appear on this webpage for residents to submit views on how the parking restrictions are performing. The feedback received will be assessed to see if any further adjustments can be made to the parking restrictions, and could require further consultation.
