Policy TRAN 10 – Design of car parking
Planning permission for car parking requires high standards of design, layout and landscaping meeting four criteria: respecting local character, not adversely affecting amenity, providing security and safe pedestrian/cyclist access, and providing accessible parking for people with disabilities.
The council will expect a high standard of design, layout and landscaping to accompany all proposals for car parking. Planning permission will only be granted for a proposal where all the following criteria are met: a. It respects the character of the local townscape / landscape; b. It will not adversely affect visual and residential amenity; c. Provision has been made for security, and the direct and safe access and movement of pedestrians and cyclists within the site; and d. Provision has been made for accessible parking bays which facilitate safe, convenient access for people with a disability or impaired mobility.
