Received a report considering the impact of future development
on existing public car parking provision in Barking Town Centre and
a car parking assessment that looks at parking provision during
future development, future parking demand, car park management and
on-street parking.
Agreed, in order to
enable the Council to consider its options in achieving its
Community Priority of “Regenerating the Local Economy”,
to:
- A
new policy requiring developers to provide a contribution towards
providing a multi-storey car park elsewhere in Barking Town
Centre;
- Note the potential requirement for capital funding which would
need to be considered in the context of the Council’s overall
Capital Programme;
- Re-examine the current development programme with a view to
ensuring there is sufficient car parking space available within the
Town Centre and where this cannot be accommodated off-street, to
introduce on-street pay and display as a temporary
measure;
- Consultation to be undertaken with the Barking Town Centre
Statutory Agencies Partnership;
- A
further report to be submitted to the Executive following the
results of the above consultation, including a comprehensive Car
Parking Strategy for Barking Town Centre; and
- Any potential loss of income during the
development phases be considered as an unavoidable item to fund
within the Medium Term Financial Strategy.
