The Parking Engineer presented a report that explained that a 3 week consultation was undertaken during January 2017 in respect of minor on-street parking proposals in Riverhead, Sevenoaks, Sundridge and Westerham within the KCC (Various Roads in the District of Sevenoaks) (Prohibition and Restriction of Waiting and Loading and Unloading and On-Street Parking Places) (Amendment 21) Order 2017. The report set out the results of that consultation and the Board was asked to consider any objections received and Officer comments and to decide whether the proposals should be proceeded with.

The Parking Engineer updated Members that Westerham Town Council had since withdrawn their objection to the parking proposals for The Grange, Westerham. This had been withdrawn in time, meaning that the Board did not have to consider whether the objection should be set aside.

The local County Councillor urged that the objections to the proposals for Sundridge be set aside, noting that the money was ready to implement the scheme.

Resolved:  That

a)     the results of the statutory consultation regarding minor on-street parking proposals within The Kent County Council (Various Roads in the District of Sevenoaks) (Prohibition and Restriction  of Waiting and Loading and Unloading and On-Street Parking Places) (Amendment 21) Order 2017 (known as TRO 2013 Amendment 21) be noted;

b)     the relevant objections received to the parking proposals for Sundridge – Main Road (A25) and service road shown in Appendix 3 of the report, be set aside;

c)     TRO Amendment 21 be made and the parking proposals therein set out in Appendices 1 to 5 to the report be implemented as drawn; and

d)     the objectors be notified of the Board’s decision.
