Residents not

consulted with regard

to issue of garage

licenses

Benjamin Tedder

Parking spaces and garages are offered to successful applicants in line with the Car Parks & Garages priority allocations policy.  The license agreement for car parking spaces and garages must consistently reflect the elements of this policy, as a result. Some changes around the license wording, to make the existing terms clearer for applicants and licensees, have been made over recent years but the way that car parking spaces and garages are offered to licensees remains largely unchanged from when the original policy was agreed. The license has contained terms, advising that car parking spaces and garages are for the daily storage of a motor vehicle, which must be in a roadworthy condition (including having a current, valid V5 document and being taxed, insured and with a current MOT) and are not for the storage of items, since the CP&G policy was agreed in 2007.  This is due to household items being stored within garages, creating a higher risk of fire within the property.  If garage licensees have any questions or would like to clarify the terms within their existing license agreement to use a garage, they can contact the Housing Customer Services Team at housing.customerservices@brighton-hove.gov.uk or on 01273 293030 and they will be happy to help.
