Issue details

To consider and approve the statutory advertisement of the proposed Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) and approve the alterations to the physical layouts of the car parks in Portchester Village Centre, in line with the Final Vision for Portchester Village Centre.

Following the termination of the Hampshire County Council Traffic Management Agency Agreement earlier this year, the Scheme of delegation to Individual Executive Members was amended in May 2017 and removed the TRO approval function.  It is therefore now necessary for the Executive to initially consider the implementation of TROs in relation to changes to off-street parking restrictions.

The report outlines proposed changes to the Portchester Village Centre car park restrictions and seeks permission to undertake the statutory public advertising of the changes to the existing TRO at an appropriate time, so as to not compromise the two-year period between advertisement and completion.

The report also highlights the expected costs of undertaking the proposed changes to the parking restrictions and physical layouts.  The design of the alterations is based on the parking survey results, consultation responses from the Draft Regeneration Vision for Portchester Village Centre and the proposals detailed in the subsequent Final Vision for Portchester Village Centre.
