Support

Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)

Representation ID: 15999

Received: 09/11/2022

Respondent: Anglian Water

Representation Summary:

Hi Central Beds Strategic Policy team
Anglian Water has no detailed comments to make on the SPD.
The general principles are ones which Anglian Water supports, particularly in taking action on sustainable travel as
part of our pledge to be net zero by 2030.
As a broader point I note that Central Beds is in the top half of unitary councils assessed in the Council Climate
Scorecard.
Can you let me know whether Central Beds has a quantitative baseline for carbon emissions associated with parking
and whether as part of the SPD this will be monitored through the implementation of the SPD in planning
applications?
Would this then be reported in the Council’s planning service Annual Monitoring Report and/ or the Councils
annual Sustainability Plan Progress Report.
