Introduction
- Brief Summary (Guidance Section 3.2, page 20).
Type of proposal
Applicable answer: Scottish Statutory Instrument
The proposal is an order with the title “The A84 Trunk Road (Callander) (Temporary Prohibition of Waiting, Loading and Unloading) Order 2025. This order prohibits parking, loading, unloading or waiting of any vehicle on the length of road described in the schedule of the order between 13 January 2025 and 20 January 2025. This prohibition will allow manhole cover to be repaired, these are not emergency works, they are to repair a manhole in the road. These works will take place under the specified length of road described in the order so will need to prohibit parking, waiting, loading and unloading to allow for works to take place. Emergency vehicles and vehicles involved in carrying out the works will not be affected by the prohibition.
Start date of proposal’s development: 18/11/2024
Start date of CRWIA process: 18/11/2024
- With reference given to the requirements of the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 (Annex 1), which aspects of the proposal are relevant to children’s rights? (Guidance Section 3.2, pages 20-22).
During the temporary restriction of parking, waiting, loading/unloading of this section of road there will be no impact on children and young people’s ability to access:
- school
- childcare facilities
- higher or further education institutions
- hospitals
- places used for recreational activity
- places of worship
as none of these facilities affected by the restrictions of the order on this area of road. There are suitable alternative areas nearby for parking, waiting, loading or unloading. Therefore this order will not impact articles 14, 24, 28 or 31. Therefore we do not see any potentially negative impacts to children and young people as a result of this order.
As the order is to maintain the pipes as opposed to improvement works or emergency works to ensure negative impacts do not occur, we do not see any positive impacts to children and young people as a result of the works so would determine no impact overall.
- Please provide a summary of the evidence gathered which will be used to inform your decision-making and the content of the proposal. (Guidance Section 3.2, pages 22-25).
From:
- existing research/reports/policy expertise
- consultation/feedback from stakeholders
- consultation/feedback directly from children and young people
Mapping routes show that there are no facilities unable to be accessed or having restricted access by children and young people or their families, carers, representatives etc. as a result of the proposal. Therefore, we can rule out that this order has the potential to restrict access and therefore potentially impact on articles 14, 24, 28 and 31.
- Further to the evidence described at ‘3’ have you identified any 'gaps' in evidence which may prevent determination of impact? If yes, please provide an explanation of how they will be addressed (Guidance Section 3.2, page 26).
Not Applicable
- Analysis of Evidence (Guidance Section 3.2, page 26).
Mapping evidences showed that no facilities would have reduced access as a result of this order so allowed us to rule out impact to articles associated with this such as articles 14, 24, 28 and 31, as these were the only potential impacts identified which were subsequently ruled out through the evidence, no impact was assessed through this process.
- What changes (if any) have been made to the proposal as a result of this assessment? (Guidance Section 3.2, page 26)
Not Applicable

- As a result of the evidence gathered and analysed against all UNCRC requirements, what is the potential overall impact of this proposal on children’s rights? (Guidance Section 3.2, pages 26-27):
