Car parking siting and open space design
Car parking should be carefully sited and organised so it does not negatively affect the use and appearance of open spaces. Landscaped areas should be permanently retained through planning conditions or planning agreements where appropriate.
Careful consideration should be given to the siting and organisation of car parking within an overall design for open space so that car parking does not negatively affect the use and appearance of open spaces. Where replacement of landscaped areas with hard surfacing would be inappropriate following completion of development, permanent retention of landscaping arrangements may be secured through the use of planning conditions or s76 planning agreements as appropriate.
