30.1      The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture that provided an update on progress for three parking schemes and sought agreement for the scope of the initial consultation on two of the schemes and implementation of the other.

30.2      Councillor West noted that the proposal for Hove Park was not to include a number of houses at the north end of Dyke Road Avenue in a scheme. Councillor West believed this would become a problem in the future for residents of those properties as they would likely suffer from parking displacement and there was also potential for parking obstruction in the cycle lanes on the same stretch of road.

30.3      Councillor Brown stated that she agreed with the proposed scheme on the basis of residents support for that set of proposals; however, her personal preference was for consultation to be undertaken over a wider area owing to the likelihood of displacement if a scheme became operational. Furthermore, Councillor Brown noted the ward councillor’s request for extra double yellow lines just outside the proposed scheme area to anticipate the acute displacement that would likely occur.

Hove Park Area

(a)       Agrees that a further consultation takes place in the Hove Park Area (Appendix C) on a light touch parking scheme (Monday to Friday).
