Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)
Representation ID: 16000
Received: 09/11/2022
Respondent: Carol Jackson
More parking is required in Biggleswade due to the huge amount of housing development going on within town.
More and more of the side streets are dangerous with cars parked both sides and on pavements. Emergency
services don't stand a chance at getting through, elderly, disabled and parents with young children have to walk out
into the road due to vehicles on pavements. The car parks in town don't have long enough times for people to shop
in town or go for a meal. It's about time the council thought things through regarding amenities in town before
agreeing to more housing. For every one bedroom house you need at least two parking spaces most couples now a
days have a car each so with only one allocated space the other has to park on road. Also no thought given for
visitors parking
