Decision details

The strategic management of on-street parking remains important for the County Council as the level of development and number of vehicles in West Sussex continues to increase.

A revised framework and parking management programme to replace the County Council’s Road Space Audit Programme and associated decision-making process is being developed.  

A framework will include rules for the consideration, implementation, review and removal of Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ); the governance process relating to individual proposals; and incorporate an initial three-year programme for CPZ development.

The Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport will be asked to consider a revised framework for the management of on-street parking in West Sussex and consider a three-year parking management programme to implement on-street parking controls in various locations across the county.

If approved, appropriate authority will be delegated to the Director of Highways, Transport and Planning to make amendments to the parking management programme, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, and to authorise statutory advertisements and scheme implementation.

The Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport has approved:

(1)  The new Controlled Parking Zone Framework (Appendix A of the report), incorporating a revised decision-making process, and delegated authority to the Director of Highways, Transport and Planning to formally advertise and implement proposals; and

(2)  The new three-year Controlled Parking Zone Development Programme (Appendix B of the report), to implement on-street parking controls in various locations across the county and delegated authority to the Director of Highways, Transport and Planning to make amendments to this programme, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport.
