DM30 — Car and cycle parking in development.

DM30.1 To manage the impact that parking provision has on traffic generation and the impact of traffic on climate change, development should ensure that car parking provision is in accordance with the standards set out in Table 10.1. DM30.2 Development in PTAL 2+ locations should provide parking on-site to ensure that parking generated by the development does not contribute more than 5% increase in parking stress within a 200 metre parking survey catchment of a residential development site and within a 500 metre parking survey catchment for commercial uses. On-street parking stress in the borough is assessed as being at capacity when 85% of parking stress is reached. DM30.3 Where motorcycle parking is provided, it should be in a dedicated area for motorcycle parking with ground anchors (in any location in the borough). DM30.4 Development should ensure that there is not a detrimental impact on, walking, cycling, public transport and emergency services due to the provision of car parking. DM30.5 In order to maintain the effective operation of the highway, entrances or vehicle crossovers provided for new developments must not have any detrimental impact on highway safety or the functioning of bus and cycle routes. DM30.6 In areas of PTAL 4 or less car club membership will be sought for residents for three years at cost to the developer. DM30.7 Cycle parking provision will be in accordance with the London Plan standards, ensuring the provision is secure, waterproof, enclosed with charging provision for electric bikes and mobility scooters and space for cargo bikes and adapted bikes.

If a development is forecast to have an impact upon on-street parking, then a parking stress survey to determine whether there is sufficient capacity within the existing on-street parking bays to accommodate the increased demand will be expected. Severe parking stress is considered to be where 85% of capacity of the kerbside parking space is met or exceeded. Managing the balance between on and off street parking ensures that the character of development remains balanced along a street, minimising the risk of a development taking all the on-street parking meaning an adjacent development must accommodate all parking on-site. To manage this parking stress attributable to each development, overspill parking is limited to a maximum of 5% of the on-street parked cars. In line with industry best practice, parking stress surveys should be undertaken in line with a methodology agreed with the Council. The cumulative impacts of development that is permitted or is under construction within the parking stress survey area must be taken into account when calculating the capacity of on-street parking. 10.39 The provision of car club or pool car spaces will be supported in order to supplement public transport provision. Provision of other car sharing schemes such as peer to peer sharing, a method of sharing that facilitates private car rental and car sharing schemes will be supported. This is to ensure that reduced overall levels of car parking do not result in increased pressure on street parking, particularly in those areas without Controlled Parking Zones. 10.40 Growth will take place throughout the urban area of the borough through development that complements and enhances the character of each area. As each area of the borough becomes more sustainable through growth it should encourage greater provision of public transport in areas that currently have a low Public Transport Accessibility Level. 10.41 It is recognised that sustainable growth of the suburbs will take place over the whole Plan period and that in the early years the public transport infrastructure necessary to support that growth may not exist in all areas with a low Public Transport Accessibility Level of 0, 1a or 1b. Therefore, in the early years of the Plan, it may be acceptable for an increased provision of private car parking to be provided in developments in areas with a low Public Transport Accessibility
