Decision Notice D140134MEM

The report set out recommendations for a revised approach to the use of Interim Guidance Note 3 Standards in Assessing Parking Provision in Residential Schemes.

Members welcomed the revised approach set out and asked that as part of the longer term, wider review into parking standards the size of vehicles, including vans, be considered.   Concern was also raised regarding permitted development rights and ‘historic parking’ need.   However, Members were advised that options would continue to be explored in an effort to address areas of concern.

RECOMMENDED:  That the proposals set out in paragraphs 1.2.1 to 1.2.3 of the report be adopted and applied henceforth and until such time as any alternative Standards are adopted in a new Local Plan.
