5. Consideration of Statutory Consultation Responses for the Removal of Glen House from the Residents’ Parking Zone
Resolved: To approve Option 2, which will allow the making of an Order to remove the site from Residents Parking R30 (Layerthorpe/East Parade) zone and will allow existing permit holders to keep their permit until it expires, and to renew until the end of 2025 if required, but not to renew beyond this date.
Reason: The removal of the area from the Zone allows the development to meet Condition 13 of the Permission with the site no longer eligible for new permits. This option allows the existing permit holders to keep their permits until they expire, or until the end of 2025 if needed, which will provide current permit holders with an availability of parking amenity and time to find an alternative solution.
