Permit Parking on Poole Quarter

Parking Management Scheme

Poole Quarter’s Travel Plan is designed to eliminate, where possible, the need to use a car for many of your journeys.

Once you have purchased a property on Poole Quarter from Crest Nicholson, you will be issued with a residents parking permit relating to one specified parking bay.

Permits are linked to a specific numbered bay and not a specific vehicle, enabling residents to use their permit interchangeable between vehicles. For example, to allow visitors to park in their bay.

Any vehicles parked in a resident bay without the correct permit will be subject to enforcement by Patrol Plus Limited.

Who are Patrol Plus Limited?

They are the Parking Management Company commissioned by Countrywide Managing Agents to enforce parking restrictions on Poole Quarter. They are responsible for patrolling all areas on Poole Quarter outside the jurisdiction of the Borough of Poole and its own Civil Enforcement Officers (traffic wardens).

Patrols will be undertaken by Patrol Plus using marked vehicles and clearly indefinable personnel , operating 24/7, 365 days a year.

Parking enforcement e.g. clamping or fixed penalty notices will be issued if:

• A permit is not displayed in a vehicle when parked in a bay.
• The vehicle is parked in a bay that does not correspond with the permit.
• Vehicles are illegitimately parked on the highway, in front of fire doors or in    areas which should be kept clear.

Why?

The aim of the scheme is to maximise the use of sustainable modes of travel (e.g. bus, walking, car share) over and above the need for a second household car.

Visitor Spaces

Following the adoption of the roads on the development by the Borough of Poole, the visitor bays on the development, including Newfoundland Drive, will be under the control of the Council and their Civil Enforcement Officers. However resident parking bays will still be patrolled by Patrol Plus Limited.

Visitor spaces are time-restricted (up to 2 hours) to ensure that they are available for the sole use of visitors and are not abused by residents.

After this two hour period the vehicle should be removed the site. The use of the visitor parking spaces will be monitored and enforcement action taken if time limits are exceeded. If residents are identified as regularly using the visitor bays for the parking of work or second vehicles then enforcement action will be taken regardless of the length of time they have been parked on site. Commuter parking and ‘park and shop’ use is prohibited in and around the development.

The New Parking Permit Scheme

All Residents should have registered and collected a new parking permit from   Foxley Tagg in November 2010. Permits issued before this date are no longer valid. Please contact Foxley Tagg for a new permit if you have not already done so. The new parking permit scheme and its enforcement formally commenced on Monday, December 6th 2010.

Please Note:  Privately sold properties will need to ensure that they pass on their parking permit to subsequent owners.

Lost Permits

If you require a replacement permit please contact Foxley Tagg Planning in writing to: Festival House, Jessop Avenue, Cheltenham, GL50 3SH. An administration fee of £25.00 will be required before a new permit is issued. Unfortunately at this time we are only able to accept cheques made payable to Foxley Tagg Planning Ltd.

On commencement of the replacement process your old permit will be cancelled, therefore it will no longer be valid. Displaying a superseded permit, even in the correct space will render you liable to enforcement action, therefore if you do find your lost permit, please dispose of it to avoid any confusion.
