Consulters South Essex Parking Partnership

Policies and Strategies The report takes into account the South Essex Parking Partnership Document setting out how the SEPP will deal with requests for parking restrictions requiring TROs.

1. Background

1.1 The purpose of this Order is to vary The Essex County Council (Brentwood Borough) (Prohibition of Waiting, Loading and Stopping) and (On-street parking places) (Civil Enforcement Area) Consolidation Order 2019 as set out below: -

The South Essex Parking Partnership (SEPP) propose to make the above named Order following a parking review of Roman Road, High Street, Fryerning Lane, Market Place, The Limes, Stock Lane, & Haslers Court, Ingatestone.

1.2 A request to SEPP was received from a local Councillor. The Parish Council also supported an amendment to the parking restrictions in Ingatestone High Street and Roman Road, Ingatestone. The request was for the removal of double yellow lines in Roman Road, Ingatestone between Whadden Chase and Petre Close. The reason for this is to allow some on-street parking to act as traffic calming and provide local workers facilities to park, whilst preventing commuters. A speed survey has been carried out by Essex County Council (ECC) and results of this can be requested through them. In addition, a safety report by Essex County Council made a number of recommendations regarding on-street parking restrictions to the north of Ingatestone village.

1.3 A scheme was designed based on the requests and reports and agreed with the SEPP Joint Committee Member for Brentwood. It was agreed with the SEPP Joint Committee Member for Brentwood to cost a scheme to propose a number of amendments to improve traffic flow, safety, sight lines, access to bus stops, reduce vehicle conflict and provide facilities for residents, their visitors, local workers and shoppers to park on-street. It was estimated at £7,500. 1.4 The Order was originally published in the Essex Chronicle and with Notices on site on 20 February 2020. Copies of the ‘Notice of Proposal’, Plans, ‘Statement of Reasons’ and ‘Draft Order’ were sent to the following organisations; Essex Police, Essex County Council (the highway authority), Essex Fire & Rescue Command Centre, Essex Fire & Rescue Water Section Essex Ambulance Service, Essex Search and Rescue ECC Asset Management, Road Haulage Association, Freight Transport Service, Agricultural Industries Confederation and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 1.5 The Proposed Order is for double yellow lines, single yellow lines, resident permit bays, limited waiting bays, keep clear entrance markings, disabled bay and bus stops 1.6 When the Order was published on 20 February 2020 a 21-day period of formal public consultation commenced. 2 Comments

2.1 The details of the representations are summarised in Appendix 2 to this report together with the comments of the Technicians. 3 Conclusion

3.1 Although the correspondents have made a number of points which lead them to believe the Order should not be pursued in whole or part, the SEPP Joint Committee Member, Lead Officer and Technicians consider that none of them are of sufficient weight to warrant the Order not being made in full.

Stock Lane. 3 Good afternoon, On-Street Parking Consolidation Order 2019: Amendment No. 3 In response to the Support noted. above consultation I would like to support the proposals that have been made. As a resident and a business within Ingatestone I feel that they would make a positive impact on the village. It would ensure that areas would be less congested and vehicles will not be able to park where they wish, which leads to obstructions for road users and pedestrians. I fully support the proposals put forward and would recommend that they are all actioned in order to improve the lives of the residents of Ingatestone. Thank you. 4 We would like the yellow lines extended both side up to Willow Green, as we have a real issue of people Further parking restrictions for leaving there cars all day for the station and blocking my drive even though I have white T bars over my Fryerning Lane can be drive, this doesn’t make any difference to the stressful situation, please could you consider extending the considered separately. yellow lines, just for safety reasons!

5 Thank you for arranging the informative evening at Fryerning Parish Room to consider the Ingatestone Support noted. parking revisions.

I thought a note to confirm that I support these proposals would be helpful to ensure that revisions are implemented. 6 I refer to the current proposal to revoke the parking restrictions in Fryerning Lane to Bakers Lane. Support noted. Fryerning Lane is a school run route and the road is heavily congested with cars between Bakers Lane and the junction of Fryerning Lane/High street due to the difficult junction of entering and exiting Fryerning Lane during school run times. The school children also walk in the road as there is no pavement on one side forcing cars to drive in the middle of the road. If the restrictions are revoked and cars are parked on one side of the road between Bakers Lane and Fryerning Lane/High Street junction it will create even more of a bottle neck where cars will be unable to pass which will subsequently block the junction even more creating congestion in the High Street. With the school children walking in the road this becomes a safety issue and should be taken into consideration. There should be a restriction in place to keep the road clear at that time.

To have no parking restrictions will invite commuters to park and subsequently causing chaos at both ends of the day for school traffic. If parking is to be made available it should be used to encourage shoppers to use the High Street to support the local shops and not for commuters.

Please consider this affect that this will have on the road and particularly the safety of school children.

Reply The proposal for Fryerning Lane is to replace some of the single yellow line with double yellow line. The below information is taken from the notice. However, the proposal is for double yellow lines from the High Street to Willow Green on the northeast side and double yellow lines on the southwest side from the High Street to a point 17 metres northwest of the junction of Haslers Court. The proposal is more restrictive than the current restrictions.

2. To revoke ‘No Waiting Mon to Sat 9am-6pm’ on the following lengths of road in the Borough of Brentwood: Fryerning Northeast side – from its junction with Haslers Court north-westwards to a point 7 Lane, metres northwest of its junction with Bakers Lane. Ingatestone Southwest side - from its junction with High Street north-westwards to a point 17 metres northwest of its junction with Haslers Court. 3. To introduce ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ on the following lengths of road in the Borough of Brentwood: Fryerning Northeast side – from its junction with Haslers Court north-westwards to a point 15 Lane, metres southeast of its junction with Willow Green. 8

Ingatestone Southwest side – from its junction with High Street north-westwards to a point 17 metres northwest of its junction with Haslers Court.

Could you please confirm if you would still like to object?

2nd email Thank you for your reply. I attach two maps taken from the notice. First the one as it stands now with restrictions. The second one is the proposed where there are no lines from 11 Miller Mews to 8 Fryerning Lane on that side of the road (top left corner of the map). Can you just confirm again what is correct.

Reply Thank you for your email. The restriction you are referring to seems to have been dropped off when generating the plan on the system. Please find another plan attached showing the single yellow line.

3rd Email Thank you for clarifying and I confirm I have no objection to the plan. 7 I write with reference to the consultation document of February 20, 2020, affecting Ingatestone village.

Examples of this include Market Place, Fryerning Lane and Haslers Court (Para 3). I double yellow lines are understand the logic of having “Midnight to 8.30am” restrictions (Para 5) on the newly controlled stretches proposed. Commuters are of High Street near New Road, and on Roman Road near Tor Bryan and Petre Close to prevent currently causing sight line commuters from using them. However, as the station car park rules change at 9.30, it seems likely that issues and preventing buses commuters will still park in the roads in order to avoid the higher charges earlier in the morning.

The matter of Enforcement is Increased prohibition will require increased enforcement resource, which does not appear to have been noted. considered in the proposal. 8 Following the meeting in Fryerning Parish Hall regarding the new parking restrictions, Support noted. I would like to fully support the new restrictions. 9 Following the recent meeting at Fryerning Village Hall regarding the new proposed parking restrictions, Support noted.

It should be noted that the existing single yellow line operates from Monday to Friday 10-11am & 2-3pm and that the proposed amendment gives a further 5 metres of double yellow line southwest of the junction of Roman Road and Tor Bryan. 11 With reference to the consultation document dated 20th February 2020 for changes in on-street parking.

The traffic calming which this proposal aims to achieve is also needed outside of the hours when parking It should be noted that the is to be allowed. Extending the hours would have no effect as the locations are not attractive to existing single yellow line residents.

There is far less parking to the south of the village even taking into account the proposed amendments. 13 I should like to offer my full support for the proposed amendments to parking restrictions in Ingatestone, Support noted. as presented by Cllr Jon Cloke at a meeting at Fryerning Village Hall on 26th February 2020.

Should further parking spaces be deemed necessary, by far the best solution would be to extend the derestricted parking at the north end of the village, adjacent to Seymour Field, which could be extended as far as the village “gates”. This area has three significant benefits: 1) It is much nearer to the centre of the village than alternative locations at the south end of the village. 2) It is much further away from the railway station, reducing the likelihood of commuter parking. 3) There are no houses on that side of the road, reducing the road safety risk. 14 Just a short note to tell you that I was most impressed recently by the above display at Fryerning by Jon Support noted. Cloke. I concur with all the proposals many of which I have fought to get over the last 7 years. They will improve safety and prevent ‘bottlenecks’ from which have increasingly suffered over the last few years. 15 I write to object to the parking restrictions proposed in the above order.

As a resident living at 6A High Street I experience first hand the difficulties and dangers currently caused by the existing arrangements and have witnessed the aftermath of accidents that have occurred because of them as well as having a few near misses myself. The new plans reduce the dangers caused by parking opposite the T entrances to Pine Drive, Park Drive and Docklands Avenue and well as improving the field of view from New Road and my house drive which frequently I can only exit with no view of traffic at all which is very dangerous. To achieve this whilst supporting local permit holder parking and favouring those who work in and use the village rather than commuters is much to its credit as is the proposal for double yellow lines in the immediate area around the Stock/Fryerning Lanes - High Street cross roads. For me the sooner these changes can be implemented the better 36 I am writing to give my strong support for this proposal. I have followed with interest the exceptionally Support noted. careful work that SEPP as an organisation, and you in particular, have undertaken to find solutions to the considerable parking problems in the Village and the sensitive and patient way in which you have consulted about proposed solutions. We would like you to know how much we appreciate these efforts. I consider that the scheme on which you are presently consulting would provide considerable benefits for our community. It is a much more coherent approach than the muddled approach that exists at present, incorporating the whole of the High Street, up to Station Lane, and including the parts most under parking pressure - the whole of the retail and business area, the Stock Lane Fryerning/Lane junction, the community centre area and Seymour Field and it’s surrounding roads. It will alleviate much of the congestion caused by inconsiderate parking, including over driveways and around road junctions with the High Street. It will deter commuter parking which has no care for the interests of local residents and can be aggressive when requested to park in a way which does not obstruct. It provides for sufficient residents permit 21

spaces on the High Street and I’m pleased to see that it does not allow those with existing space in their own drives to apply for such permits. The history of accidents around New Road, some of which I have witnessed personally, fully supports the need for this scheme as does the problem experience by those like my family who have to take their lives in their hands when trying to exit blind and without site lines onto traffic oblivious to us. I understand that a committee of the Ingatestone and Fryerning Parish Council has indicated its objection on the basis that more parking changes are required at the opposite end of the High Street/Roman Road. I hope I have been misinformed about this. I am aware of your efforts in this respect but that there is substantial and well reasoned objection to the possibility alternative arrangements that have been mooted there. By contrast, Emails to me from local residents fully support a parking scheme of the kind now envisaged for the rest of the village. Many are concerned as to why this cannot be achieved more quickly. I therefore consider that any such Parish Council Committee objection would be wholly unjustified and entirely contrary to the interests of the village. I am fully in support of the Ingatestone High Street (North) and Ingatestone High Street (South) parking proposals and would urge you to implement them a soon as possible 37 I write to object to the parking restrictions proposed in the above order.
