EWC8: Parking Requirements

Residential Parking

Parking requirements for new residential development within the Elstree Way Corridor shall be determined in accordance with Table 2. Proposals shall apply a minimum parking standard of 1 space per residential unit for all units of 3 bedrooms or fewer. Proposals for residential units of 4 bedrooms or more shall apply an average minimum parking standard of 1.5 spaces per dwelling.

Non-residential Parking

Proposals for non-residential development within the Elstree Way Corridor will be considered on a case by case basis where there is no existing standard for that particular use set out in the parking standards SPD.

Shared Parking

On-site parking standards could be reduced where the co-ordinated delivery of two or more sites are able to share existing or new parking, particularly where the uses proposed will operate at different times during the day. Any proposal that seeks to share parking provision must be accompanied with an assessment of the suitability of the parking arrangements; where acceptable, the arrangement must be kept in perpetuity through a S106 agreement.
