CC3: Parking Provision

The Council will require appropriate provision to be made for off street parking in development proposals in accordance with its maximum parking standards. In considering the level of provision the Council will have regard to:

  • the anticipated demand for parking arising from the use proposed, or other uses to which the development may be put without needing planning permission,
  • the scope for encouraging alternative means of travel to the development that would reduce the need for on-site parking. This will be particularly relevant in areas well-served by public transport,
  • the impact on highway safety from potential on-street parking and the scope for measures to overcome any problems,
  • the need to make adequate and convenient provision for disabled parking.

The Council will require the provision of sufficient, safe, weatherproof, convenient and secure cycle parking within developments to assist in promoting cycle use.
