Decision details

A public consultation was undertaken in June/July 2021 on a proposed Traffic Regulation Order relating to West Itchenor to alter the waiting restrictions in the Itchenor Road and The Street. These residential roads are very close to Chichester Harbour and it has been reported that indiscriminate parking has become common place all year round, frequently causing congestion, damage to verges and, as most of Itchenor Road has no footway, placing vulnerable road users at higher risk.

The proposals include changing the existing seasonal daytime prohibition of waiting so that it applies at all times on the eastern side of The Street, at its narrower northern end and all year round from The Ship Public House to St Nicholas Church, to maintain access to the village and harbour for emergency and service vehicles. Seven objections to the proposals were received, including one from a local resident and one resident wrote to support the proposals.

The Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, having considered the objections to the proposals, has authorised the Director of Law & Assurance to make the Traffic Regulation Order as advertised, as set out in section 2 and Appendix A of the report, and for the restrictions to be implemented.
