Decision(s) and Reason(s)
Parking Action Plan - Progress Report
Minutes
The report invited confirmation of the form of Zone P following a consultation of residents in Mann Square and part of Tudeley Lane and Lodge Oak Lane. Members requested that the potential for additional parking on the grassed area adjoining Tudeley Lane be considered and a dialogue be maintained with the local school and Education Authority reminding them of their responsibility to provide adequate parking provision on site.
The programme of adoption for the remaining Zones in Tonbridge was reviewed and an update given on the introduction of off-street parking charges at Haysden Country Park and the overall Parking Action Plan.
Following consideration by the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Planning and Transportation resolved that:
(1) the proposals for introducing charges in Haysden Country Park be adopted in accordance with the advertised amendment to the Order for off-street parking places and the objectors advised accordingly;
(2) the rescheduling of the Parking Action Plan to include the resident preferential parking scheme in the area around West Kent College be endorsed;
(3) the urgent action in signing the Memorandum of Participation for a newly constituted National Parking Adjudication Service Joint Committee be approved;
(4) subject to the concurrence of the Joint Transportation Board:
(i) the Resident Preferential Parking arrangements in the relevant part of Tudeley Lane and Lodge Oak Lane and Mann Square be removed when the experimental order for Zone P is confirmed and the existing 'no waiting at any time' restrictions in Tudeley Lane and Mann Square be retained;
(ii) the Borough Green Local Parking Plan be endorsed; and
(iii) parking arrangements in Zone K be confirmed to reflect the views of residents of Ashburnham Road, Manor Grove and the relevant part of Shipbourne Road as described in the report.
Reasons: As set out in the report submitted to the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board of 3 June 2008.
