The main area of low response was the Old Stable Block, this may be due to having sufficient private parking and are largely unaffected by the scheme.

Visitors will need to display a valid permit in the windscreen of their vehicle, should this also be available to those operating a commercial business in the village, where they don’t have other private parking space available?

As the number of spaces in the village is limited we are proposing that there should there be a limit on the number of free spaces per household do you agree?

Response to written comments made more than once

7, Vacant Plot

This needs further investigation to evaluate its’ potential uses, or restrictions, if it is available this can be added later.

3,5, West Side was built as flood defence not footway and no1-3 should be able to park outside their house on the pavement

The original intent may have been primarily to protect those dwellings from run off which goes down the village street, but it is also of footway construction and would be used as such if vehicles were not always parked there. The areas could still be used for loading, as an authority we are working to remove obstructive parking from footways across the city.

8, Make lower lodges free to residents

The village parking management scheme and the TRO are separately controlled and permits have not been agreed for the TRO so this is not possible at the present time, it could potentially be considered in the 18 month review.

2, Clear sign at village entry

This will be provided.

6, Make parking area beside no 7

We will investigate the practicality and cost of this to provide additional parking if required, especially if space is reduced due to removal of parking on the footway.

4, Need more lighting

A replacement freestanding light is being installed early next year south of No.1 to replace an existing faulty light attached to No.1. We will investigate the practicality and cost of providing a column adjacent to No.7 if additional parking if required, especially if space is reduced due to not parking on the footway.

Courtyard comments if different from village street comments

Limit parking to one per driver	1
priority to residents with no off street available	1
Residents should have priority over visitors	1
prefer to pay for permit than have no permit	1
Residents here share address should be able to use village when required (not often)	2
Should not need to limit households as currently shared space with courtyard, stables and village	1
Should be no parking in front of Stanmer House and put stones back	1

Stable block comments if different from village street comments

Mostly not applicable but residents in village should have scheme	1
Residents don't have same amenities as in town (e.g. Bus) so should be prioritised over visitors to park	1

Other individual comments are mainly covered in the report.

Those which are not:

Permits for qualifying residents and visitors will be free.

Space is limited so offering 3 spaces and 3 visitor spaces per resident would not be practical at this time, the intention is to issue passes as per the qualification scheme in appendix 1.

We are retaining the option to have online passes when they become available as some people will want to use this system, those that don’t will be able to register through Cityparks and visitor permits will be available as hard copies.

Signage will be provided to meet the standards required for this type of parking scheme, however we will endeavour to make it fit the location as far as we can.

We are not proposing to mark out bays at this time, which is also why we would not limit the blue badges to certain parts of the street.

There is no parking in front of Stanmer House this is designated as drop off only through the TRO.

The caravan belongs to a former resident who has promised to move it soon.
