We feel that to demand such a ratio (one per dwelling) would be contrary to PPG13 in which para 52 states: "there should be no minimum standards for development other than parking for disabled people".The core strategy regrettably seeks to solve the problems of on-street parking by introducing such a policy. Para51 also states that:" in developing and implementing policies on parking, Local Authorities should not require developers to provide more spaces than they themselves wish". We request that the council should adopt an SPD on car parking and includes a policy in the core strategy that indicates this is the case.

My client has raised concerns relating to this approach. This states that provision shall be at one space per dwelling. Although my Client agrees that an 'exceptional circumstances' clause has been included, my client feels that to demand such a ratio would be contrary to PPG13: Transport in which paragraph 52 states that 'there should be no minimum standards for development, other than parking for disabled people'. The Core Strategy regrettably seeks to solve problems of on-street parking by introducing such a policy. Paragraph 51 also states that 'in developing & implementing policies on parking, local authorities should not require developers to provide more spaces than they themselves wish'. My client requests that the Council should adopt an SPD on Car Parking & includes a Policy within the Core Strategy that indicates that this is the case.

Representation Summary:

Clearly parking provision needs balancing with sustainable transport modes & is closely related to location. This is something which the County Council's current Parking Standards seek to address with the zonal approach. The County Council considers that this works well, but as the standards date from 2003, they are in need of review. The Core Strategy's proposed standard of one space per dwelling as a minimum may be rather a broad brush approach. The County Council considers the Core Strategy should use the zonal approach giving the potential for town centre locations to go below one for one. However, PPS3 (Housing) requires local planning authorities to develop parking policies for their plan areas with local stakeholders & communities having regard to expected local car ownership for planned housing in different areas.

Representation Summary:

Chapter 3 seems to contain a mix of core policies that will help to drive the strategy & development management policies. To save the cost of preparing a separate DPD, we are open to the idea of including generic development control policies within the Core Strategy, provided they are kept separate from the core policies. However, it remains the main purpose of the strategy is to establish a delivery strategy for implementing a long term vision & objectives for the Borough. You will need to ensure that policies in the Managing Change section are key to its delivery, or whether they are more relevant elsewhere. We question whether this approach is needed in this part of the document or in fact the Core Strategy.
