TR4 Dimensions of Car Parking Spaces

The dimensions of all car parking spaces should enable easy access to and from the vehicle, taking account of needs of users and the constraints of the parking area.

The council will expect the following dimensions to be achieved:

Dimension for a parking bay

  • To be laid out as a rectangle at least 4.8m long x 2.4m wide. This can be provided at an angle for echelon parking.

Dimension for a off-street parking on the curtilage of a property

  • This should achieve the minimum width of 2.3 m but be of a length (likely to be over 4.8m) to prevent overhang of the vehicle over the adjacent public highway.
