T6 — Parking.

A. The council will apply London Plan policy T6 to promote a reduction in car ownership and private car trips. B. The council will apply the maximum residential car parking standards set out in London Plan policy T6.1 apart from in PTAL areas 1 and 2, where the following Lambeth specific maximum standards will apply: PTAL 2 Up to 0.25 spaces per unit PTAL 1 Up to 0.5 spaces per unit  To table of contents Lambeth Local Plan 2020–2035 | Section 8: Transport and communications C. The council will apply the maximum non-residential car parking standards set out in London Plan policies T6.2, T6.3, T6.4 and T6.5. D. Development should: i. be permit free where the development has a PTAL of 4-6 and/or where the development falls within an existing or planned controlled parking zone; ii. avoid reliance on the public highway to meet the parking requirements of development, including in relation to parking for people with disabilities, motorcycle and coach parking. Where evidence is presented that it is not possible to accommodate parking requirements within the site the council will seek planning obligations in the form of a commuted sum, considering both the cost of implementation and maintenance of any parking bay and infrastructure for electric or other Ultra-Low Emission vehicles, as well as the opportunity cost of lost kerbside space, for example in terms of parking revenues. The approach to calculating commuted sums is set out in Annex 9. iii. make car club membership available to all residents in new residential development and in mixed development that includes housing, and provision of car club spaces where appropriate: all development schemes should promote and provide for car club membership or car pool schemes in place of private parking; iv. comply with London Plan policies for motor-cycles, electric vehicle charging points and coaches; v. ensure that all outdoor and open parking areas are permeable to water. E. Parking in new shopping and leisure developments in opportunity areas and centres should serve the area/centre as a whole and not be reserved solely for use in connection with the development proposed. Preference should be given to short-stay parking. Blue Badge parking and cycle parking should be located closest to town centres and the entrance of facilities. F. In mixed-use development, flexible, shared use of car parking should be provided with consideration of parking spaces for occupants such as families and older residents. G. Lambeth expects that parking control and management should be consistent across the borough, regardless of land ownership or highway status. Parking regimes on housing land should be fully integrated and aligned with parking controls on the surrounding public highway. H. Lambeth will consider the introduction of parking controls across the borough in order to manage demand for parking and allow for more efficient uses of the kerbside such as car club spaces, the creation of better conditions for walking and cycling and in line with carbon reduction objectives. I. When considering parking impacts, the council will prioritise alternative kerbside uses supported in the Transport Strategy, such as car club cars,  To table of contents Lambeth Local Plan 2020–2035 | Section 8: Transport and communications cycle parking and electric vehicle charge points, ahead of parking for private motor vehicles. J. The redevelopment of existing car parks and garages for other uses will be supported. Parking provision in development proposals on existing car park and garage sites should comply with the standards for the uses proposed and should not seek to replace or re-provide the parking spaces that existed previously.
