Parking Standards

Following a public consultation during May & June 2008 The Council has now adopted the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on Residential Parking Standards in support of Policy A1 of the Local Plan 1996 – 2011. The SPD provides information on residential parking standards and design guidance and applies to planning applications submitted on or after 1 September 2008

These standards apply to parking provisions sought for new developments and do not seek to be retrospective, having no effect on parking arrangements attached to existing or consented uses.
