Decision details

(1) The proposed changes to the current parking arrangements as detailed in drawings 11051-101 to 11051-111 attached to Report ES14020 are agreed.

(2) Authority be delegated to the Executive Director of Environment and Community Services, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder and Ward Members, to approve any specification changes to the scheme that are considered necessary at detailed design stage.

Complaints have been received about parking problems in the residential area around Chelsfield Station, possibly aggravated by an increased number of commuters using the station (a decision by Sevenoaks Council to introduce parking charges at Knockholt Station may have displaced commuters to Chelsfield).

Report ES14020 details the outcome of consultation to determine the views of residents on proposed changes to local parking restrictions. The changes are outlined in a revised parking scheme detailed in drawings 11051-101 to 11051-111 appended to Report ES14020.
