Members considered the 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 36) Order 2021 (known as “TRO 2013 Amendment 36”) received during the statutory consultation.

It was highlighted that the financial implications set out in the report should read that the parking proposals set out in Appendices 1 and 7 would be funded by local county councillors from their Combined Member Grant allocations. Furthermore, the Council would be able to meet the cost of those given in Appendices 2 to 6 and Appendix 8 from the parking account.

Resolved:  That it be endorsed that

a)   the feedback from the statutory consultation regarding the minor on-street parking proposals within TRO 2013 Amendment 36, be noted;

b)   as no relevant objections were received, the implementation of the parking proposals as drawn for Riverside, Eynsford, Main Road, Hextable and Church Road, West Kingsdown, detailed in Appendices 1, 2 and 8 to the report, be noted;

c)    the relevant objections received to the parking proposals for Permit Zone A, Bethnel Road, and Greatness Road, Sevenoaks, detailed in Appendices 3, 4, and 5 to the report be set aside and the proposals as drawn, be implemented;

d)   the relevant objection received to the parking proposal for London Road (A224), Sevenoaks, detailed in Appendix 7, be upheld in part and, before implementation, the proposal be modified;

e)   the relevant objections received to the parking proposals for Hartslands Road and Sandy Lane, Sevenoaks, detailed on Appendix 6 to the report, be upheld and the proposals, be withdrawn; and

f)     the objectors be notified of the decisions.
