Car Parking Provision Assessment

In assessing the appropriate amount of car parking required for individual proposals, account will be taken of the specific characteristics of the development and its location. A reduction in car parking provision may be acceptable in the following circumstances: • Where it forms part of a package of measures to promote alternative transport modes, particularly where this has been demonstrated and accepted through the Transport Assessment process; • In locations which are highly accessible and well served by public transport; • Where co-location of facilities provide opportunities for shared parking arrangements; and/or • Where new development is proposed close to existing public car parking and it is demonstrated there is available spare capacity.
