Hammersmith & Fulham - TR26 Mechanical Parking Solutions

TR26 Mechanical parking solutions

Where mechanical parking solutions including car stackers, turntables and lifts are proposed as a means of maximising the space available for off-street car parking, the council will require certain criteria to be met as appropriate.

accesses should be positioned at least 5m from the back edge of the footway;
where accessed directly from the highway, each parking space must be independently accessible;
where accessed within an off-street car park, and the spaces are not independently accessible, there must be adequate circulation space to allow vehicles to wait without blocking the free flow of traffic either within the car park or on the highway;
the council may impose a condition relating to the maintenance of the mechanical parking on the grant of any planning permission; and
where there will be impact on the local highway network a Road Safety Audit will be required.
