Representation ID: 16055

Received: 04/01/2023

Respondent: Mr Colin Stone

Representation Summary:

Table 3. Parking space provision should remain as current; even a 1 bedroom dwelling is likely to occupied by two adults, each requiring a vehicle.
Appendices 20 - 25. Tandem parking layouts should be deprecated. Owners quickly tire of shuffling cars and one (or more) will be left on the street, blocking the shared visitor parking.
Appendices 18- 25. Single charge point shown for multiple vehicles. Standard should require provision of one charge point (3-phase rapid) for each vehicle. Net-zero plans envisage use of BEV batteries for load levelling, this needs an always-on connection.
