The Review of Parking Permit Policy and Charges - Results of statutory Consultation. pdf icon PDF 424 KB

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Environment considered the report, which sets out the results of the statutory consultation undertaken on proposed changes to parking permit policy and charges. These changes include aligning the Councils CO2 emission banding with the DVLA’s Vehicle Tax bandings, and

rationalising the visitor permit offer.

 

The Chair considered  a supplementary report detailing additional information that had not been included in the main report. The reason for lateness was to allow for a redaction of personal information.

 

It was also noted that although there was not a requirement to individually consult residents on permit price changes, the Council decided to go beyond current requirements, and send an email to registered resident permit holders. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of e-mails being sent, some were not sent at the start of the consultation period. Therefore it was agreed that responses would be accepted until 13th March, which was past the date of publication for the main report, to ensure a minimum 21-day consultation period was observed. These responses were presented in an additional supplementary report.

 

The two above mentioned reports were put forward and considered by the Cabinet Member in the form of two tabled addendums.

 

RESOLVED

 

That the Cabinet Member for Environment:

 

·         Considers the objections to the proposed changes and officers response to those objections – (subject to 3.1f below).

·         Following due consideration approves the implementation of the changes proposed to the CO2 emission charge bands; as set out in Appendix 1 – (subject to 3.1f below).

·         Following due consideration approves the changes proposed to the Visitor permit scheme as set out in paragraph 6.7 – (subject to 3.1f below).

·         Following due consideration agrees that visitor permits will continue to be valid until their displayed expiry date – (subject to 3.1f below).

·         Agrees to the operational start date for the changes to be from 03 April 2018 – (subject to 3.1f below).

·         Considers consultation responses received after 23rd February and up to 13th March within an addendum to this report.

 

Reasons for decision

 

The Council is required to consider the feedback to the Statutory Consultation

undertaken on changes to parking permit policy, and following due consideration, make a decision whether or not proceed with implementation.

 

Alternative options considered

 

Alternative options were previously considered. In the main, these involved retaining existing arrangements, however when considering the contribution that permit policy makes to the delivery of Corporate objectives, it was felt that these policies should be reviewed and adjusted periodically.
