Private sector car park development and Planning Agreements
Private sector car park development must complement existing provision and short-stay objectives; developers must enter Planning Agreements to control parking use and restrict long-stay commuter parking and contract space leasing.
The development and operation of public car parks by the private sector, including multi-storey provision and temporary car parks should seek to complement existing parking provision and the Department's approach to meeting short-stay needs. In locations where a proposal is considered acceptable, the Department will require developers to enter into a Planning Agreement under Article 40 of the Planning (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 to control the use of parking spaces in order to deter long-stay commuter parking. This will normally include restrictions on the leasing of contract spaces.
