APPENDIX 2
BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGES
Background
The cost of parking is one of a number of factors that people take into consideration whendeciding how to travel and, if that decision is by car, then where to park. It is this ability to
influence travel behaviour that makes Local Authority parking strategies a vital traffic
management tool in Local Transport Plans.
The Canterbury Parking Strategy (2006-2016) continues the principles of the PARC Plan
(first adopted in 1988) and has the objective of reducing the need for drivers to travel to and
from the city centre, whilst providing parking provision that meets a sustainable demand.
The tariff structure plays an important role in meeting this objective as it seeks to:
Encourage the use of more sustainable forms of transport Encourage long stay parking at Park & Ride sites
Allow shorter stay parking in city centre car parks
Current Parking Tariffs
Coastal Towns
Car parks in Herne Bay and Whitstable are divided into 3 different groups and all currently
charge using time bands instead of a linear tariff and charges apply between 8.30am-8.00pm.
The current charges are as follows:-
Herne Bay
Short Stay: 0.70 up to 1 hr, 1.80 1-3 hours, 2.40 3-5 hours, 4.00 5-24hours
William Street
Long stay : 1.10 any period up to 24hrs, Sun-Fri,1.10 up to 2 hrs & 2.50 2-24hrs, Sat
Beach Street, Market Street, Kings Road
Seafront:
Neptune 1.20 up to 2 hrs, 2.40 2-4 hrs, 4.00 4-24hrs, April-Sept
1.50 any period up to 24hrs, Oct-Mar

Parking Tariff Rationale for Herne Bay and Whitstable
The rationale for Herne Bay and Whitstable differs from Canterbury in 2 keys ways. Firstly
the towns do not suffer significantly from peak hour traffic congestion or air quality problems
and secondly they do not have a Park & Ride alternative.
As such, the tariff structure aims to ensure that the cost of parking does notdetrimentally
affect the competiveness of the towns* and in areas where parking is charged on-street, thecar park charges are kept slightly lower to encourage vehicles to park off-street and free up
on-street parking spaces encouraging quick turnover and allowing space for residents.
*In order to ensure that parking charges do not detrimentally affect the competitiveness of
our town centres and also that they are seen to be reasonable, annual comparisons are
made with similar towns and cities. The current comparison table is shown in this appendix
as Table 1.
.
Proposed Changes for Off Street Parking Places Order 2012/13Herne Bay and Whitstable
It is proposed to change the tariff structure from time bands to a linear tariff as used in
Canterbury.
A linear tariff structure is seen as a much fairer way of charging as drivers actually pay for
the amount of time they require rather than potentially losing time/money if they dont need
to stay until the end of the time band.
Furthermore as our machines cannot give change, we know many drivers put in 1 coins
when they only need up to 1 hours parking (i.e. they lose 30p).
In changing to linear tariffs we are proposing to set the hourly rate in Short Stay car parks at
the same rate as the up to one hour band. i.e. 70p per hour.
When a similar change from time bands to linear tariff was made in Canterbury in 2007 the
financial impact was approximately cost neutral and therefore no adjustment is being
allowed for in the current budgets.
The effects of these changes and the % number of current users who will be affected are
summarised on the attached schedule.

1. Introduction
The Executive on the 27th July 2011 considered the Beach Hut Option Appraisalreport from the Community Steering Group. The Executive considered a total of 31sites, ruled out 22 sites including The Downs, Beacon Hill, The Lees, Beltinge Cliffesand the areas down to Reculver and agreed the following for the Herne Bay area inphase one:
Site 20 Spa Esplanade - WestAs an existing site it could be considered for infilling gaps between existing beachhuts within the boundary of existing beach huts. However, we would not proposeextending the rows of beach huts or adding an extra row at the back of the site.
Site 21 Spa Esplanade - EastAs an existing site it could be considered for infilling gaps between existing beachhuts within the boundary of existing beach huts. However, we would not proposeextending the rows of beach huts or adding an extra row at the back of the site.
The Executive agreed the feasibility studies criteria as:
Clarify needs
Numbers of beach huts on a site
Capital costs for each site
Capital funding options external/internal funding
Consider disposal options whether to sell the beach huts with a tenancyor rent beach huts (weekly/monthly)
Management options and revenue costs for each site
Reconsider planning policies as specific details of sites are developed
Specific consultation with local community groups directly impacted by aproposed site
Consider the impact of increased number of beach huts on existing publicamenities
Statutory consultation such as Environment Agency, Kent HighwayServices, Natural England
Consider deliverability
The focus of this report is on the proposed number and location of the infill beachhuts. The discussion and recommendations of the Area Members Panel will feed intothe final report to the Executive on the 16th February 2012.
2. Detail
The community steering group made up of representatives of Whitstable Society,Herne Bay Residents Association, Whitstable Harbour, Tankerton Bay Beach HutAssociation, Herne Bay Beach Hut Association and supported by council officershave considered the phase one sites using the agreed feasibility criteria, pre-planning application discussions with Kent Highway Services, Environment Agencyand Natural England plus consultation with local community groups.
The word infill can be interpreted in a number of ways. To avoid anymisunderstanding, the Beach Hut Option Appraisal Report 2011 included an agreeddefinition of infill for beach huts as to fill the gaps between existing beach huts withinan existing beach hut boundary site

However, no beach hut will be placed in front of a dwellings sea facing boundary,blocking a sea view. It should be noted that planning considers the amenity as awhole, not an individuals right to a view.
In addition sufficient access to the beach /promenade will be retained at the base ofsloped steps or paths.
Site 20 Spa Esplanade - west (proposed site plans F1, F2 and F3)
From 16th December 2011 detailed colour proposed site plans will be on theCouncils coastal webpage plus a hard copy of the report and proposed siteplans will be available at the Herne Bay office.
We will hand out the proposed site plans to Members at the meeting and theywill be on display to the public at the meeting.
Within the Spa Esplanade west site the group identified 12 potential infill beach huts.
In addition, car parking is taking place in the area where the beach has been raisedup level with the promenade. The beach is Protected Public Open Space and carparking is prohibited.
However, when the seawall was developed in this area it crossed the front gardensof some houses that may have retained rights onto the area that is now beach. Thisneeds to be resolved and this was supported by the community group meeting.
Therefore 12 infill beach huts are proposed.
Site 21 Spa Esplanade - east (proposed site plans G1 and G2)
From 16th December 2011 detailed colour proposed plans will be on theCouncils coastal webpage plus a hard copy of the report and proposed siteplans will be available at the Herne Bay office.
We will hand out the proposed site plans to Members at the meeting and theywill be on display to the public at the meeting.
Propose to 3 infill beach huts. This is supported by the community group meetingwho wanted to ensure that there was good access to the beach for the generalpublic, which is also a project in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Fields Challengereport.
A community group meeting also recognised that there should be space between thebeach huts for reasonable disability access to a beach hut.

Initial pre planning discussions with Environment Agency, Kent Highways Serviceand Natural England indicated they have no significant issues with the proposals,subject to final details in a formal planning application.
In total, 15 new infill beach huts are being proposed for the Herne Bay area. Thiswould be an increase of approximately 6% among the 248 existing beach huts alongthe Spa Esplanade.

1. Introduction
The Victorian Shelter was located on the Downs, near the Kings Hall and wasdestroyed by fire in the spring 2011.
Community groups in Herne Bay were invited to a meeting to discuss opportunitiesarising form the area being nominated as a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Fieldand the subject of the Victorian Shelter was discussed. Since the meeting the HerneBay Coastal Park has been confirmed by Fields in Trust as a Queen Elizabeth IIDiamond Jubilee Field.
Councillors requested a report on the Victorian shelter in its own right.

2. Detail
The Victorian shelter was built on the Downs just to the East of the Kings Hall.It was a soft wood construction sitting on a brick base (the black areas at groundlevel). It originally had glass windows and the roof tiles were probably Rosemarys.
The structure was screwed together but mainly bored and pulled dowelled. By thetime it burnt down, there was only approximately 60% of the original structure in situ.This was due to vandalism and wear and tear - the remaining 40% had been repairedand rebuilt several times throughout its life.
Since 2003 the council has spent 13,500, an average of 1,500 per year on repairsto vandalism. The glass windows had not been replaced for some time, due torepeated vandalism.
Following the fire, the site was made safe and is now a tarmac surface. Theestimated cost to replace the shelter on the original site is 60,000. This estimated
figure increases to 70,000 if it is relocated, due to the cost of extra ground works.
The insurance company has just agreed to a sum of 35,500. This funding isavailable to be spent in Herne Bay coastal areas, but does not have to be spent on adirect replacement.
We could replace the Victorian Shelter with another shelter in the same location for afixed price of 33,500 plus fees. Total cost 35,500.
At the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Field meeting the community groupsseemed to prefer a relocation so we could use the 35,500 as match funding toattract external funding and relocate it. We have undertaken an initial external
funding search for replacement shelters, youth shelters or bandstands and there are6 potential external funding pots currently available.
However, this would need to be deferred due to the uncertainty caused by the DownsVillage Green application. The Downs Village Green application has been adjourneduntil March 2012 an independent report will be issued and a decision by Kent CountyCouncil Regulations Committee is not expected until summer or even autumn 2012.If the decision is in favour of a Village Green then a relocated Victorian Shelter couldbe required to be removed.
The key areas for discussion are:
- Whether the council should replace the shelter.- What purpose it should serve.- Where it should be located.- What design and materials should be used to meet the purpose, but
minimise vandalism.

The area nominated stretches from Hampton Pier, along the esplanades, through thecentral of the seafront area, along the Downs and concludes with Reculver CountryPark. A plan will be on display at the meeting.
The area has recently been officially accepted by Field in Trust as a Queen ElizabethII Diamond Jubilee Field which provides protection forever for leisure andrecreation.
Community groups in Herne Bay were invited to a meeting on the 15 th November2011 to bring forward community projects to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee (1st 4thJune 2012) - developing community activities, considering landscape issues andinfrastructure issues (paths, seating etc), plus promotional opportunities
The council has also been considering a number of projects in the central seafrontarea and these have been fed into the community project ideas, to develop acoordinated proposed action plan for the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Field Herne
Bay Coastal Park.
2. Detail
The draft Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Field action plan for Herne Bay Coastal Park isattached in appendix A for discussion. In some respects it is a wish list, some of theproposals are aspirational and may take some time to develop, others arecoordinating existing activities - some are capital some are revenue projects. Manywill require the council to facilitate and support community groups to develop theirown projects.
All figures are very much first indications and will require detailed costs and external
funding and some may require planning permission.
General funding searches for community organisations are indicative, they need tobe refined for the individual projects, some are focused on charities others on aspecific target group. All proposals are subject to approval.
The council commissioned Kent Wildlife Trust to undertake a habitat survey of thearea and their extensive report is available online. It was very positive towardscurrent management arrangements and the recommendations have been included inthe action plan.
If a project is approved for further detailed work the Council will support community
groups to develop the projects, finalise the cost and seek external funding.

In addition, Herne Bay in Bloom are seeking to develop a range of projects includinga Jubilee Garden at Lane End, a wildflower garden between Kings Hall and thepumping station and a shingle garden near the bandstand.
Infrastructure opportunities (external funding is very specific to projects)The future of the Victorian Shelter is considered in another report at this meeting.There is a general view that this is an opportunity to review litter bins / dog bins andseating in the area.
The proposals for the central area include an outdoor gym on the beach, a newchildrens playground, increased car parking, increased moorings in the harbour anda restoration project for the Clock tower, will be handed out to members and ondisplay to the public at the meeting.
Promotional opportunitiesThere is a general desire to cascade the Reculver Country Park style signage
through the Coastal Park area to develop visual connection throughout the coastalpark. In addition develop educational projects with local schools plus leaflets for thewildlife, heritage and Jubilee and make improvements to the website.
FundingJust about all the projects are subject to external and this will be a key element ofdeveloping projects approved for further work.
Implications of the Downs Village Green applicationThe Downs Village Green application has been adjourned until March 2012 anindependent report will be issued and a decision by Kent County Council RegulationsCommittee is not expected until summer or even autumn 2012. If the decision is in
favour of a Village Green then the proposals associated with the Downs VillageGreen application area in this report could be required to be removed.
Therefore we are proposing that projects associated with the Downs Village Greenapplication area are deferred until the outcome of the Downs Village Greenapplication is known.

4 Consultation planned or undertaken
This is a community led project and much of the work will require the communityparticipating and leading the projects.
The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Coastal Park was consulted upon in thespring 2011 prior to the Executive report in July 2011. Fields In Trust undertook anational consultation exercise 18th October 18th November 2011 and we haveconsulted the community to develop the proposed action plan at a meeting on the15th November 2011.
Specific consultation has and will continue to take place with young people
If the proposed action plan is adopted then projects will have further elements ofconsultation built into them.
5. Implications
(a) Financial contained within report.
(b) Legal Implications contained within report
Other implications
(c) Staffing/resource the work will be delivered within existing staffingarrangements. However, it should be recognised that the value of communityinput will be the key to success.
(d) Environmental/Sustainability Environmental issues have been
considered in this report.
(e) Planning/Building Regulations If any projects are to be built them planning permission will be required.Coastal protection issues will also need to be considered for some projects
Some events and activities may need to be licenced.
(f) Human Rights issues Need to consider equal access issues
(g) Crime and Disorder This has been part of the consultation process.
(h) Biodiversity Has been at the heart of the project, note the KentWildlife Trust Habitat Survey.
(i) Safeguarding Children the proposed action plan should impactpositively on children and young peoples lives.
6 Proposed Way Forward

Kent County Council Member Highway Fund
Since 2009 Kent County Council (KCC) has given all eighty four electedMembers 25,000 to spend on specific Highway projects. Historically the fund
has been allowed to be rolled over to finance substantial local Highwaysprojects until the following financial year, but from this year it has to be spentduring the current financial year and cannot be rolled over.
Mr David Hirst and Mrs Jean Law combine their Highway fund money for thesole use of Highway enhancements in Herne Bay and have used their fundsfor a variety of local projects to date. A summary of some of the projects areset out in the table attached.
All of the Members Highway funds allocations can be viewed on line bymembers of the public as these figures are included in their annual report.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION
1. Introduction.This is a report of progress since the last meeting of the Panel to provide an updateon projects involving the Coastal Towns Manager (Herne Bay & Whitstable).
2. Christmas 2011The Christmas Lights Switch On took place on Friday 25 November 2011, inMortimer Street. We had live music from A Crooner at Christmas, which was ashow appearing at the Kings Hall that evening and a Boyband, FTW, who came from
Manchester, which were well received by the crowd and even brought people from asfar away as Essex.The Christmas Lights were switched on by the stars of the Marlowe Panto, Cinderellaand the Lord Mayor. In addition to the switch on, we had a Spot Rudolf the Reindeercompetition where 200 children spotted Rudolf in the shop windows and received aprize. It is estimated; over 1000 people attended the event.For the two Saturdays running up to Christmas, 10th & 17th, we ran a FREE CarParking promotion in the William Street Car Park for the first 100 vehicles whoparked, with a BAY Card between 9am and 10.30am.The Pier Trust organised a Santas Grotto and Winter Wonderland in theBandstand from 10 24th December 2011, this was supported by local businessesand created another attraction, to bring more people into the town.
3. Media CoverageThroughout the Christmas period, we have received good media coverage from ourlocal newspapers and local radio stations, which has enhanced the awareness of thetown. I would like to thank the local media for supporting the town.
4. New BusinessesIndependent businesses are increasing in Herne Bay, with five new businessesopened in the past six weeks.Classic Beauty, Quality Furniture and Lou Lous Loves Coffee in Bank Street, SpiceTwo, 19 High Street and Heart & Soul in Beach Street. This has brought the numberof empty business units in Herne Bay, down to 4.6%, with the national average being
14.8%. We only have one empty shop in William Street, Mortimer Street and BankStreet.

5. Challenges for 2012I am looking forward to the challenges for 2012, we have a real opportunity to attractmore tourism to the town, with the Pier re-opening in the spring, the Herne BayFestival celebrating its 20th year, Herne Bay in Bloom representing the South EastCoastal Towns in Britain in Bloom and a programme of quality events, throughout thesummer.I am currently looking at the possibility of bringing a Farmers Market into the town,once a month. Also a FREE Car Parking scheme for Herne Bay, providing I getenough support from the local businesses. Local businesses will refund thecustomers parking, providing they spend 10.00 or more in their business.I would like to run a marketing campaign, incorporating the BAY Card, to encouragethe local community to Shop Local and to maximise and promote our retail offeringto our visitors.
