Policy information sourced from St Albans District Local Plan
42 Loss of Residential Off-Street Parking Areas and Garage Courts
The loss of such parking areas will not normally be permitted. When deciding if exceptions should be made to this policy, the Council will take into account whether:
- sufficient alternative parking exists in the area to meet the standards in Policy 40;
- the redevelopment proposed would result in a significant visual improvement;
- existing levels of demand by local residents are low and there is good reason to believe that they will remain so;
- the site is used to a significant extent for authorised or long-standing commercial uses inappropriate to a residential area.
