Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)

Representation ID: 16011

Received: 22/11/2022

Respondent: Mr Simon Barford

Representation Summary:

All new houses should assume one car per adult.
One/two bedrooms = 2 cars
Three+ bedrooms = 4 cars (if say 2 children average who will both drive a car from 17 to when they leave home)
Planning should be based on reality and not some eco wishful thinking.
All cars may well become electric in the future, but the parking spaces will still be needed.
