EIR - Permit Transfer Scheme (PTS) [Aug 2021]

Key information

Request reference number: MGLA020821-9385

Date of response:

Summary of request

I understand that an independent review of the proposed PTS was undertaken before its introduction and that council officers estimated that a targeted PTS would be acceptable up to 2020. It was acknowledged that a review of the scheme may be required. Given that the PTS has now been in operation for several years, I would suggest the Council undertakes a review of the impact, need and parameters of the scheme in the light of the clear objectives of my London Plan.

Please can you provide all correspondence and documents that led to the Mayor providing the answer in the first and second sentence of the response?

It would appear that in the third sentence the Mayor suggests that a review of the PTS is necessary, such that the London Plan is not compromised by the PTS.

  1. What powers does the Mayor have to ensure that the London Plan with regard to on street vehicle parking is not compromised by the Mayor of Tower Hamlets, and that a review of parking is conducted?
  2. The Isle of Dogs is seen as a significant development area and required to deliver new housing. A significant percentage will be 'affordable/social' which under the Tower Hamlets PTS is generating a significant number of additional 'on street' 
  3. parking permits being granted, completely undermining the London Plan.
  4. How will the Mayor address this issue?
  5. Should permits granted under the PTS be rescinded?
