101 RUSHMOOR PARKING POLICY PDF 284 KB
To consider Report No. RP2003 (copy attached), which sets out matters relating to the adoption of a Rushmoor Parking Policy, which would form part of Hampshire County Council’s overall Operational Parking Policy.
Presented By: Cllr Maurice Sheehan, Operational Services Portfolio Holder
Minutes:
The Cabinet considered Report No. RP2003, which set out a proposed Rushmoor Parking Policy, to run alongside the Hampshire
County Council Operational Parking Policy.
The Report set out the reasons why the policy had been developed at this
time. The Cabinet was informed that on-street parking had given rise to an
increasing amount of problems over recent years, with residents regularly
looking to the Council resolve the issues faced.
Members were advised that an amendment to the draft policy had been
proposed by the Council’s planning department as follows:
“Where development
requiring planning permission is proposed in an area where a parking permit
scheme is in operation, whether for larger Houses in Multiple Occupation,
infill housing development or conversion of larger properties or
non-residential buildings to residential, the proposed development will be
required to meet the Local Plan requirements as set out in the adopted Car and
Cycle Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document. The existence of a
residents’ parking permit scheme and the availability of permits which do not
guarantee the holder a parking space will not affect the requirement to meet the
standard provision within development sites, and in determining planning
applications consideration will be given to the impact of any proposed entrance
or driveaway which results in the loss of existing of on-street parking space.
As such developments will meet their own parking requirements they will not be
eligible for parking permits in the future”.
Members were
supportive of the amendment and agreed that this should be added to the policy.
The Cabinet RESOLVED that
(i)
the
Rushmoor Parking Policy, as set out in Appendix A of
Report No. RP2003 and amended at the meeting, be approved; and
(ii) the Executive Head of Regeneration and Property, in consultation with the Operational Services Portfolio Holder, be authorised to make future operational amendments to the Policy.
