Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)

I have noted the number of new developments that have been built in recent times and I would question if existing regulations have been followed or were fit for purpose and if suitable and adequate checking has been in place to ensure developers are not taking short cuts.
The council are responsible for allowing development of new housing projects and although under pressure to meet housing needs careful consideration needs to be taken that although in the initial stages the applications may appear appropriate, consideration must have be given to ensure that perceived requirement using a chart and actual parking provision are suitable and adequate with scope to provide additional space if it is found that miscalculations have been made and insufficient parking has been put in place for the size of the development. The proposed plans should be a minimum standard expected for parking provision and planning applications should look for more than the bear minimum. Where garages are being taken into consideration as parking provision they questions should be asked are actually big enough to get a car in and be able to get out of the car once in the garage. If driveway/frontages are being proposed consideration to ability to get on or off said frontage if someone parks opposite
If mixed space roads are being proposed how parking make these less safe as no defined pavement and width of road is then reduced by parked cars
