Statutory Consultation - Minor on Street Parking Proposals - TRO 2013 Amendment 29 pdf icon PDF 66 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The report on the Statutory Consultation was introduced by the Parking Engineer and Members gave consideration to the relevant objections to the 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 27) Order 2018 (known as “TRO 2013 Amendment 27”) received during the statutory consultation.

 

Members noted that in the absence of any objections, the proposals as detailed within Appendices 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 15, would be implemented as drawn.

 

Cowden – Blowers Hill (Appendix 1 to the report)

Councillor Lake expressed his support for the proposal which he believed would increase road safety in a busy location.

 

Edenbridge – High Street (Appendix 3 to the Report)

Members noted that Edenbridge Town Council had not supported the proposal and Officers advised that the proposal had been considered at the request of local resident permit holders. Members supporting and opposing the proposals were in equal measure however the Chairman used his casting vote to support the recommendation.

 

Otford – The Charne (Appendix 7 to the report)

Members were in support of the proposal which was to extend an existing disabled persons parking bay to meet national standards.

 

Riverhead – Shoreham Lane (Appendix 8 to the report)

It was noted that the objections to the proposal largely considered the restrictions proposed to not be sufficient. Councillor Clack noted that residents were likely to request further restrictions in the future.

 

Sevenoaks - Lea Road/Weald Road (Appendix 11 to the report)

Cllr Crabtree advised that the proposal was informed by the parking survey of Weald Road and neighbouring roads.

 

Shoreham – High Street (Appendix 14 to the report) 

Members noted that the recommendation had been amended and the objections had been part upheld as the proposal would be for a single ‘conservation’ line operating every day between 8:00am and 6:00pm, rather than double yellow lines as originally proposed.

 

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 29) Order 2018 (known as “TRO 2013 Amendment 29”) be noted;

b)     the relevant objections received to the parking proposals for Cowden – Blowers Hill,Edenbridge – High Street, Otford – The Charne, Riverhead – Shoreham Lane and Sevenoaks - Lea Road/Weald Road be set aside, and the proposals implemented as drawn;

c)     the objections received to the Shoreham – High Street parking proposals as detailed in Appendix 14 to the report be upheld in part and the parking proposals be reduced from double yellow lines to a single yellow line restriction operating every day between 8:00am and 6:00pm over the same length of road as the previous proposal;

d)     TRO 2013 Amendment 29 be amended to reflect recommendation (c) above and be made, and the parking proposals therein be  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12.
