BRIGHTON & HOVE CITY COUNCIL

ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984

NOTICE is hereby given that Brighton & Hove City Council ("the Council") proposes to make the Orders named below under the relevant sections of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended, which if they come into force will introduce an extension to the existing Controlled Parking Zone U. The effects of the proposed Orders would be as follows:

BRIGHTON & HOVE VARIOUS CONTROLLED PARKING ZONES CONSOLIDATION ORDER 2024 AMENDMENT ORDER NO. * 202* (REF: TRO-33A-2024)

The Order will introduce kerbside parking and waiting restrictions for permit holders and visitors as described below in the roads or parts of roads identified (restrictions that already exist on the ground are included and will be amended where necessary to meet the requirements of the Controlled Parking Zone). These roads or parts of roads would be incorporated into the Brighton & Hove Various Controlled Parking Zones Consolidation Order 2024. The Order will introduce kerbside restrictions where permit holders and visitors may park within Controlled Parking Zone U. Permits will be issued to residents, the cost of which is currently £164.25 per year for a first permit (Please note there is a 75% increase for high emission vehicles and a 25% reduction for low emission vehicles. Costs for each additional permit increase). Blue Badge Holders may park in permit parking bays in this Zone or other light touch zones or alternatively residents who have a Blue Badge can purchase a resident permit for an administrative charge only (currently £15.90 and for low emission vehicles £10.30) A resident for the purposes of this scheme is a person aged 17 years or over whose usual residence is at premises, the postal address of which is in any of the qualifying streets specified below:-

Streets eligible for a Resident's Permit for Zone U:

Southall Avenue

The Order also introduces to the scheme area visitor, business and carer permits all of which will be subject to restrictions. Briefly, in the case of visitor permits, applications will only be accepted from residents within the area of the scheme, there will be a limit of 100 permits issued to a resident in any 12-month period and each permit will cost £3.50 per day. Business permits will be issued to businesses located within the area of the scheme if they can prove a genuine business need for a vehicle on street. A maximum of 2 permits may be applied for by a business and they will be subject to criteria determined by the Council with each permit currently costing £474.50 per year (Please note there is a 75% increase for high emission vehicles and a 25% reduction for low emission vehicles). A carer permit can be applied for if the carer, who does not have to be a resident, has to visit a resident (or residents) within the area of the scheme and that resident is in need of a carer by virtue of age and or physical/mental infirmity or is a woman requiring ante or post-natal care. The carer scheme is for non-professional carers.

Please note generally that in respect of the issue of any of the types of permit referred to above, the Council will exercise its discretion to ensure as far as possible that any priority groups are issued with permits first, but the Council cannot guarantee that everyone will be issued with a permit or that a parking space will be available.

The costs and types of permits available are subject to change. The current charges were agreed at Budget Council on 6 February 2024.
