Having considered an open officer report, and a presentation by the Cabinet
Member for Housing & Planning, Councillor Paul Bell, the Mayor and Cabinet
agreed that:
(1) the review underway of parking arrangements on Council owned Housing
Estates be noted, and the introduction of TMO’s (Traffic Management Orders)
for the purpose of managing and enforcing parking on housing land, including
existing Housing Estate parking sites and additional new sites where new
build developments are being constructed by Lewisham Homes be approved
in principle; and
(2) authority be delegated to the Executive Director of Housing, Regeneration
and the Public Realm to agree the draft scheme designs as set out;
(3) statutory consultation be carried out with secure tenants under Section
105 of the Housing Act 1985 and non-statutory consultation with leaseholders
regarding the proposed changes, with the results of that consultation be
reported back to Mayor & Cabinet for consideration prior to a final decision on
the introduction of TMO’s being made; and
(4) subject to the changes going ahead, a review of the parking charges for
current housing sites within the first year of implementation of the new parking
arrangements, the results of which will then be reported to a future meeting of
Mayor and Cabinet to sign off the review and agree the recommendations for
a new charging structure be approved in principle.
