Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)

Representation ID: 15988

Received: 09/11/2022

Respondent: Mr Brian Watts

Representation Summary:

I broadly support the plan but I’ve seen some local developments where the garage(s) does not have a garage door. In Meppershall for instance the garages have oak wood frames and look very attractive. This makes it less likely the garage will be converted into another room or filled with junk It also makes driving the car straight in easier. Some houses have installed garage doors but could such an alteration be made subject to a full planning application within the deeds? This would potentially put people off doing it.
