ENP-R1: Car Parking
All new developments within the Effingham Plan Area are required to provide parking within its site boundary, or nearby, off the public highway, to meet the expected demand of the development, without requiring the use of public roads as overflow parking.
The following minimum parking standards shall apply to all residential developments, including affordable housing:
| Studio apartments and one-bedroom units | 1 allocated car parking space |
|---|---|
| Two bedroom unit | 2 allocated car parking spaces |
| Three bedroom unit | 2 allocated car parking spaces |
| Four or more bedroom houses | 3 allocated car parking spaces |
| Elderly (sheltered) housing | 1 car parking spaces per unit |
Appropriate additional provision in all new developments must be made for visitors (including disabled visitors) and delivery vehicles to park safely off-road for the duration of their visit.
Proposals for public parking provision will be supported which:
- Improve car parking to support key village services including stations and shops.
- Preserve and improve existing car parking provision to serve local residents.
