125 Report of the Director of Environment and Shared Services - Disposal of Land at Brunswick Street, Maidstone PDF 172 KB
Decision:
That the Committee notes the requirement for
fewer parking spaces in Brunswick Street and agrees to collaborate
with the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee to consider
a new housing development on the site of the existing car park and
adjoining land and to re-provide a new smaller car park to meet the
existing car parking space needs in the area (target of 33
spaces).
Minutes:
The Parking Services Manager presented his
report.
The Committee discussed concerns regarding the
impact of the closure of the Sittingbourne Road Park and Ride site
may have on parking availability in Maidstone town centre and the
further impact of disposing of parking spaces on this site.
The Committee noted that 50% of the site was
currently used on a regular basis and provision for this number of
spaces could be provided for in the plans for the site once it was
disposed of.
RESOLVED: That the Committee notes the requirement for fewer
parking spaces in Brunswick Street and agrees to collaborate with
the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee to consider a
new housing development on the site of the existing car park and
adjoining land and to re-provide a new smaller car park to meet the
existing car parking space needs in the area (target of 33
spaces).
