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 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. 2 List of Appendices Appendix 1 – List of people making representations Appendix 2 – Summary of objections or support and Technicians comments 3 APPENDIX 1 Ref List of people making representations Type 1 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 20/02/2020 Objection 2 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 20/02/2020 Objection 3 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 27/02/2020 Support 4 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 02/03/2020 Objection 5 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 02/03/2020 Support 6 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 05/03/2020 Support 7 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 08/03/2020 Objection 8 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 09/03/2020 Support 9 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 09/03/2020 Support 10 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 10/03/2020 Objection 11 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 10/03/2020 Objection 12 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 11/03/2020 Objection 13 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 11/03/2020 Support 14 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 11/03/2020 Support 15 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 16 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 17 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 18 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 19 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 20 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 21 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 22 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 23 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 24 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 25 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 26 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 27 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 28 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 29 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 30 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 11/03/2020 Support 31 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 32 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 11/03/2020 Support 33 Email from local worker dated 11/03/2020 Objection 34 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 12/03/2020 Objection 35 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 12/03/2020 Support 36 Email from Councillor of Ingatestone dated 12/03/2020 Support 37 Email from local worker dated 12/03/2020 Objection 38 Email from local worker dated 12/03/2020 Objection 39 Email from local worker dated 12/03/2020 Objection 40 Email from local worker dated 13/03/2020 Objection 41 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 13/03/2020 Support 42 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 13/03/2020 Support 43 Email from Councillor of Ingatestone dated 13/03/2020 Support 44 Email from Councillor of Ingatestone dated 13/03/2020 Support 45 Email from local worker dated 13/03/2020 Objection 46 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 13/03/2020 Objection 47 Email from resident of Ingatestone dated 13/03/2020 Objection 4 APPENDIX 2 REPRESENTATIONS & RESPONSES FOLLOWING FORMAL ADVERTISEMENT – 20 FEBRUARY TO 13 MARCH 2020 Representations & responses relating to Roman Road, High Street, Fryerning Lane, Market Place, The Limes, Stock Lane, & Haslers Court, Ingatestone.
