Minutes:
The Committee considered a petition received from Cromwell and Burns Residents' Association (CABRA) requesting the introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone in Cromwell Road, Burns Road and Cromwell Court, Alperton. Tony Kennedy (Head of Transportation) introduced the report which responded to the petition. He stated that in recognition of on-street parking pressures, officers assessed the conditions and the potential impact of future developments in the area. He advised members about an outline plan which he had developed for the introduction of CPZ into the wider area to prevent parking displacement in neighbouring streets. Members heard that the budget requirement for it would cost £150,000 for which there were no provisions in the budget. He recommended that the consultation for CPZ be funded from developer contributions through a Section 106 financial contribution which would become available in future, once the majority of the new dwelling houses were occupied and the impact could be fully assessed in 2017. The Head of Transportation added that piecemeal rather a fully assessed introduction of the CPZ would result in parking displacement and that consulting prior to the impact being fully assessed could result in a negative response.
In the ensuing discussions, members of the Committee unanimously expressed a view for the timescale for the consultation to be brought forward from 2017, taking into account the number of dwelling houses that would result from 243 Ealing Road and 255 Ealing Road and the associated parking demand once the developments were occupied. Councillor Butt (Leader of the Council) in echoing members’ views for consultation earlier than 2017 added that as the transportation impact of both developments were considered when planning permission was granted subject to a Section 106 financial contribution, the financial contribution would be available for consultation. In welcoming the report, members instructed the Head of Transportation to undertake the consultation earlier than 2017 and to advise the Chair of the earliest date that the consultation could take place and a CPZ introduced.
