Decision details

Thanet District Parking Strategy

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Introduction of a parking strategy for the Thanet District. The strategy sets out how Thanet District Council will approach parking over the next 20 years.

Decision:

Cabinet adopted the Thanet District Parking Strategy and agreed to the initial implementation plan.

Reasons for the decision:

The Thanet District parking strategy sets out the future of parking requirements for the whole district, balancing the needs of residents and visitors.  It provides a strategic approach to parking whilst integrating it with active and sustainable transport.

Alternative options considered:

Not approve the strategy and implementation plan. This is not recommended due to improvements that the strategy and associated implementation plan will bring to Thanet leaving an inconsistent approach to parking across the district.

 

Approve the strategy but not the implementation plan. This is not recommended as it will leave an adopted strategy without a designated timeframe for delivery and will delay implementation of the identified improvements.
