Traffic Assessment - Renfrewshire Council

Table 6.2 Town Centre Shared Trips
Kittelson & Lawton Dickinson & MacIver Kamali & Crow Average
43% 35% 37% 38%
6.13 By taking cognisance of available town centre research (assuming an average of 38% shared trips)
and national and local parking guidelines, it is possible to estimate the parking provision for the
village centre based on 2 scenarios:
• Scenario 1 – Using SRC / SPP ratios with 10% reduction for foodstore, discounting parking for
individual retail units and the library; and
• Scenario 2 – Using SRC / SPP ratios with a 10% reduction for foodstore, include parking for
individual retail units and library but allow for 38% shared trips.
6.14 The results of each scenario are indicated by Table 6.3 below. For the purposes of this
assessment, we have adopted the maximum GFA for the library / resource centre.
Table 6.3 Maximum Parking Provision
Using SPP Using SRC (1986)
Scenario 1
Totals 428 420
10% for P & R 385 378
Scenario 2
Totals 492 484
10% P&R for foodstore 449 436
38% Shared Trips 278 270
Results
Maximum 385 378
Minimum 278 270
6.15 Using SPP guidelines to calculate parking for the foodstore, parking numbers would be between
385 and 278 spaces. SRC guidelines for the foodstore result in parking numbers of between 378
and 270 spaces.
6.16 While it is acknowledged Renfrewshire Council currently use SRC 1986 guidelines, we have
undertaken the same exercise using SRC 1995 ratios which with 6 spaces / 100m2 for a foodstore
of this scale. The alternative range of parking numbers are between 252 and 324 spaces.
