B-T 1: Parking Standards
All new developments within Burpham shall provide parking within its designated land boundaries or nearby, off the public highway, to meet the expected demand of the development, without requiring the use of public roads and access points as overflow parking. Car parking and garages must be large enough to accommodate the size of modern vehicles. 2.6m by 6m or 2.6m by 7m, if parallel parked.
The preference is for assigned parking spaces within the curtilage of the application site.
Burpham Parking Standards (minimum)
- Studio apartments: 1 car space
- 1 bedroom unit: 1 car space
- 2 bedroom unit: 2 car spaces
- 3 bedroom unit: 2 car spaces
- 4 or more bed houses: 3 car spaces
- Elderly (sheltered): 0.5 car spaces per unit
Visitor Parking
All parking for residents must be provided off road. Suitable provision must also be made for visitor parking and delivery vehicles to park safely for the duration of their visit.
Non-residential Parking
Parking on non-residential sites shall not be below the prevailing maximum standards in use by Guildford Borough Council (ie the maximum for the Borough shall be applied as a minimum in Burpham). Due to the high car usage identified in the 2011 census within Guildford Borough and surroundings, commercial parking requirements within Burpham will require the maximum predicted use (during the planning application process) to be met on site.
