DM30: Car and Cycle Parking in New Development
To promote sustainable growth in Croydon and reduce the impact of car parking new development must:
- Reduce the impact of car parking in any development located in areas of good public transport accessibility97 or areas of existing on-street parking stress;
- Ensure that the movement of pedestrians, cycles, public transport and emergency services is not impeded by the provision of car parking;
- Ensure that highway safety is not compromised by the provision of car parking including off street parking where it requires a new dropped kerb on the strategic road network and other key roads identified on the Policies Map;
- If the development would result in the loss of existing car parking spaces, demonstrate that there is no need for these car parking spaces by reference to occupancy rates at peak times;
- Provide car and cycle parking spaces as set out in Table 10.1;
- Ensure that cycle parking is designed so that it is secure and can also be used for parking for mobility scooters and motor cycles; and
- Provide car parking for affordable homes at an average rate not less than 2/3 that of other tenures.
