Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)
Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)
Representation ID: 16020
Received: 23/11/2022
Respondent: Mrs Jean Peall
Hello,
I would like to add some comments to this consultation -
1. People want to park as close to their front door as possible in order to unload children and shopping safely, for
example.
Rear or courtyard parking may be provided, but people don't use it because it is inconvenient so they park on-street
and mount curbs.
2. New housing estates are often built with curved roads which add to the complications of parking.
Also, people park on grass verges, which ruins them. Create sufficient hard standing close to residences.
Make higher curbs to prevent people mounting the pavements and verges. Need better bylaws to restrict pavement
and verge parking, which is often inconsiderate.
3. Widening the street to allow adequate passing for through traffic.
Cars parked at random cause awkward chicanes. Bin lorries struggle to get through.
There is often insufficient visitor parking, which also results in awkward street parking.
4. Occupants may have more vehicles than spaces allocated. For example, a One-bed property may house a couple
who both own vehicles. If only one space is provided, the other has to occupy a visitor space.
5. At medical facilities, where there is likely to be a higher proportion of Blue Badge users, more spaces need to be
provided.
6. Restrict parking at entrances and junctions in residential areas where it is likely to cause a bottleneck.
with regards,
