Introduction
Strategic management of on-street parking remains a key priority for West Sussex County Council, particularly as development and vehicle numbers continue to rise across the county. In response, a revised policy framework and parking management programme has been developed to replace the former Road Space Audit programme.
The parking scheme development programme takes a responsive approach, enabling the County Council to address parking issues as they arise and be guided by concerns and expressions of interest from local communities.
Periodic reviews will continue to focus on the seven existing Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs).
This interactive platform has been designed to allow residents to engage with us, providing valuable feedback and information on local projects relevant to their area. Your input helps us shape a parking strategy that works for everyone.
Horsham
West Sussex County Council recently sought residents’ views on a proposed change to the Controlled Parking Zone A in Horsham. The consultation explored whether current Monday – Saturday enforcement continues to meet local needs, particularly in light of increased Sunday parking demand linked to changing retail and leisure activity.
The survey, which ran from Monday 2 February 2026 to Sunday 1 March 2026, is now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part.
We are now analysing the feedback received and preparing reports to assess the next steps. These findings will help determine whether to extend all restrictions to Monday – Sunday, extend only resident‑bay restrictions to Monday – Sunday, or retain the existing arrangements.

Parking Consultation Update
Thank you to everyone who took part in the informal parking consultations in 2024 and the subsequent formal consultation.
Update.
The statutory consultation, which ran from 4 February 2026 to 25 February 2026, has now finished. This consultation covered a small number of roads within the potential new or extended parking zones:
Zone L: Crossways, Crossways Close, Farm Close, Gales Place, Scallows Close
Zone G: Hillcrest Close
We are now reviewing all responses received during the statutory consultation. Officers will prepare the necessary reports to assess the next steps.

Zone H - Public Engagement Exercise - 25.02.2026 - 25.03.2026
West Sussex County Council conducted an engagement exercise with residents in late 2024 about the possibility of introducing a new controlled parking zone (H). After reviewing the feedback from residents and other stakeholders, the Council has decided it would be helpful to run a further engagement exercise. This follow‑up includes proposed changes to the original hours of restriction, as well as adjustments to where certain restrictions would apply.
The Council is now proposing a part‑day parking zone, Option 1. This would include one hour of restriction in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, 10am-11am & 2pm-3pm Monday-Friday, applying to the residents parking bays. Introducing short, targeted restriction periods is expected to prevent non‑residents from parking in the area all day, while keeping permit costs lower than those for a full‑day restricted zone.
The roads in this proposed zone are:
Amberley Close, Arundel Close, Banks Road, Blackwater Lane, Bodiam Close, Burleys Road, Camber Close, Cowdray Close, Eridge Close, Knepp Close, Lewes Close, Long Close, Pevensey Close, Sedgewick Close, Spring Plat, The Bower, The Pasture, Toftwood Close.
At this stage we would like to know your opinion with regards to the proposed updated design and restrictions for your area.
While your feedback during this consultation is greatly appreciated, the County Council is keen to stress that no decisions have yet been made and that no changes to parking will be made in your road without a statutory consultation taking place. This could potentially, if proposals are taken forward, commence in Autumn 2026. If Option 1 is not supported, no further engagement exercises will take place in the foreseeable future.
Worthing -
The project has now reached the implementation phase. The Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) came into effect on 12 February. While some measures have not yet been installed due to unforeseen delays, work is ongoing to complete the remaining items as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.

Introducing short, targeted restriction periods is expected to prevent non‑residents from parking in the area all day, while keeping permit costs lower than those for a full‑day restricted zone.
Across the area, should the Council plans to use “Permit Holders Only Past This Point” signs at entrances to certain roads. This approach removes the need to mark individual bays (except Disabled Bays), allowing residents to continue their usual parking habits and maximising usable road space.
The roads in this proposed zone are:
Amberley Close, Arundel Close, Banks Road, Blackwater Lane, Bodiam Close, Burleys Road, Camber Close, Cowdray Close, Eridge Close, Knepp Close, Lewes Close, Long Close, Pevensey Close, Sedgewick Close, Spring Plat, The Bower, The Pasture, Toftwood Close.

What is being proposed?
West Sussex County Council are proposing a new Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), as illustrated in the plan below, to be introduced in Pound Hill. CPZs give priority access to parking for residents in designated bays, so it’s easier for them to park near to their home. CPZs prevent commuter and other long-term parking, so there are more parking spaces for local residents and businesses. Our proposal is for the zone-controlled hours to be from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday, this will optimise parking availability for residents throughout the week.
The roads in this proposed zone are:
Amberley Close, Arundel Close, Banks Road, Blackwater Lane, Bodiam Close, Burleys Road, Camber Close, Cowdray Close, Eridge Close, Knepp Close, Lewes Close, Long Close, Pevensey Close, Sedgewick Close, Spring Plat, The Bower, The Pasture, Toftwood Close.
At this time, we want to emphasise that no final decisions have been made regarding the introduction of new parking restrictions. . Should we move forward with proposals, we would suggest that a formal consultation would take place in spring 2025. Therefore, while your feedback during this consultation is greatly appreciated, it will not result in any immediate changes to parking but will aid us in what the next steps will be
