Policy TRAN 11 – Provision of public and private car parks

Planning permission will only be granted for the development or extension of public or private car parks, including park and ride and park and share where it is demonstrated that: a. They do not significantly contribute to an increase in congestion; b. They are not detrimental to local environmental quality; c. They meet a need identified by the DfI in the extant transport plan or accepted by the DfI following robust analysis provided by the applicant; d. Within defined areas of parking restraint they are only used for short-stay parking and are appropriately managed to deter long stay commuter parking; and e. They are compatible with adjoining land uses.
