Parking Standards for New Developments Draft (Nov 2022)

Dear Sirs
Any new development, especially in the rural areas of Central Beds, increases traffic issues and parking requirements outside local village shops, area service stations, local shopping centres etc.
Most new houses will have two cars and where new properties generally allow for two parking spaces, the issue then is for visitors and delivery vehicles. Cars today seem to be larger than previous models and this can be seen in public parking areas where large 4x4s take up a full space and often prevent parking alongside, exacerbating the parking space issues.
In addition where payment is only be phone, this assumes that everyone has a mobile phone – older people are certainly affected by this and often struggle to use the App or simply do not have, or always carry, a mobile phone.
Whilst on the subject of new housing developments, why cannot Councils now make it mandatory that new houses are fitted with heat pumps or solar panels as part of building regulations? It would add a small percentage to the cost of building and help dramatically with energy usage and emitions.!!
Kind regards
