In summary just look at the new developments of Wixams and Silso with all the parking on pavements because of the lack of suitable parking. Roads in Wixams are now having double yellow lines placed outside houses because the roads are too narrow for the number of school busses. Where do you expect people there to park. Garages are too small and your report misses some vital data. Whilst I support the provision of cycle parking this at this stage should not be at the expense of improving the situation for those of us who HAVE to use a car.
In para 4.1.2 there is no mention for the reason why people have cars in rural villages with no or very limited public transport. No mention either of the elderly who have to have a car for mobility reasons. In para 4.3.1 you say that many people use their garages for storage. They have to because the garages are too small to get modern cars into. In addition when giving planning permission to builders no account is made for storage within the property forcing people to use the only space available, the garage. This is reinforced in para 4.4.1in which you say only 14% use their garage for parking. In 4.10 you mention that no provision will be made in new development for disabled parking because you do not know how many will be needed. There must be statistics that could determine this.
