There are a number of stages involved in the review, as shown in the list above, and we are currently at the advertising and objections stage.

Introduction

Starting in May 2024 we assessed on-street parking concerns across the district by carrying out site visits. These are the concerns that have been brought to our attention largely by members of the public, the police, councillors, and highway officers since the previous review took place. We assess the requests based on a number of factors, including road safety, accessibility, congestion, the possibility of just displacing a problem and how many people have requested a change.

After completing all the site visits, we prepared a report of our findings and recommendations.

Authorisation

We shared this report of our findings and recommendations with the County Councillors for the Tandridge district and then following discussions with them, they have agreed and approved the proposed changes to parking restrictions in their division. Having reached agreement, we move on to advertising our intention to introduce the proposals, which is a legally required part of the process and allows the local community and road users to have their say on whether they agree with them.

Advertisement and objections

We are currently advertising the introduction of the agreed parking proposals from 14 November to 20 December 2024. For this we publish a formal notice in the Surrey Mirror, erect street notices on site at each location and make drawings and a statement of reasons available to view online at the bottom of this page. We will also write to those properties immediately fronting locations where changes are proposed.

Towards the bottom of the page you can see a document called Tandridge parking review 2024 - Statement of reasons (PDF), which contains a description of all the proposed changes and why we wanted to introduce them. Underneath that are packs of drawings showing the proposals and the statement of reasons tells you which of the drawings shows each proposed change. In the statement of reasons the proposals are sorted by electoral division and then by town and the drawings are combined into packs for each councillor's division.

If you wish to comment on, support or object to any of the proposed parking changes, please complete our Tandridge Parking Review 2024 feedback form . Alternatively, you can send a letter to 'Parking Team (Tandridge Parking Review 2024), Hazel House, Merrow Lane, Guildford, GU4 7BQ'. Please note that we can only accept your comments in writing and not over the phone, and that the deadline for letting us have your views is Friday 20 December 2024.

Approval

All feedback received will be considered by the Parking and Traffic Enforcement Manager, who, in consultation with the county councillors, will make a final decision on how to proceed at each location. All objections, support and comment responses will then be summarised in a 'Decision report', which will include a decision for each location and an explanation of the reason for the decision. We will make this report available to download and view at the bottom of this page. Those who respond to the advertisement will be notified of the final decisions by email or by letter.

Implementation

After the decisions have been made, we will visit each location we are proceeding with and measure and mark them up in preparation for the new parking control to be installed. We will then place orders with our contractors to install the required road markings and signs. Lining work requires suitable weather. If this stage of the process is reached during the winter or a wet spell of weather, there could be a delay in implementing.

A final traffic regulation order (TRO) will then be made and published. This will make all the changes made in the parking review legally enforceable by civil enforcement officers.
