IM(c) Parking Standards
Developments must provide the minimum level of car parking provision necessary, for people with disabilities, as set out in the London Plan, and ensure provision for servicing, safe pick-up, drop-off and waiting areas for vehicles such as taxis and coaches, where that activity is likely to be associated with the development.
Developments supported by a high level of public transport accessibility and within Controlled Parking Zones should be car free. Development in areas of on-street parking stress should be ‘car-capped.’ For car capped developments, the Royal Borough will:
- limit on-site car parking to spaces designated for disabled people, any operational or servicing needs, and spaces designated for the occupiers of development;
- not issue on-street parking permits; and
- use a condition / legal agreement to ensure that future occupants are aware they are not entitled to on-street parking permits.
The Royal Borough will also strongly encourage contributions to car clubs and pool car schemes in place of private parking in new developments across Royal Greenwich and seek the provision of electric charging points as part of any car parking provision, following the minimum standards set out in the London Plan.
Developments must meet, as a minimum, the standards for cycle parking as set out in the London Plan.
