Traffic Assessment - Renfrewshire Council

6.17 While the final parking provision requires to be agreed with Renfrewshire Council, JMP would
recommend that consideration is given to providing an overall parking provision of between 250
and 320 spaces. This can quite clearly be supported by a parking accumulation assessment for the
foodstore which indicates the maximum accumulation to be 225 on a weekday. It will also help to
avoid an over provision of parking during the weekend when the park and ride is likely to be
relatively under used and therefore potentially available for village centre car parking. A full
breakdown of the parking accumulation assessment is provided in Appendix F.
6.18 The parking strategy and layout will also have to consider the level of parking accessible from
Bishopton and Dargavel. It is anticipated this would be split in terms of the household ratios but will
require further consultation with Renfrewshire Council to establish an appropriate means of control.
Disabled parking
Whether parking is provided as a village centre car park or individual car parks, a number of
parking spaces for the mobility impaired will need to be provided. These should be allocated to the
various elements of the site in accordance with national and local guidelines and based on the
maximum number of spaces for each land use (prior to any reductions). The minimum
requirements are indicated by Table 6.4 below and should be in addition to the standard parking
spaces.
