Supplementary Planning Guidance(e) accessibility by walking and cycling;(f) the existing and possible future congestion in streets adjacent tothe development;(g) accessibility to and the availability of public and/or private carparking space in the vicinity;(h) Topography of the area.4.4.5 Section 106 Agreements may be negotiated with developers and thesecan include a number of measures to mitigate the potential impact ofdevelopment and to address concerns.4.4.6 All parking areas other than residential parking areas off low-trafficked,low speed, minor residential roads should be designed to allow vehiclesto enter and leave the site in forward gear. Safe pedestrian access routesand circulation must be provided within all new parking areas.4.4.7 Where Travel Plans are required as a condition of planning consentand supported by a bond, appropriate relaxation of the parkingrequirements may be made following acceptance of the details of asubmitted travel plan, provided that measures to enforce compliancewith the Travel Plan are included within a Section 106 Agreement.4.4.8 In certain circumstances, e.g. Conservation Areas, relaxations of thestandards may be allowed in order to preserve environmental conditions.4.4.9 The absence of parking standards for a particular land use does notmean that no parking provision will be required, for example nospecific guidelines are included for veterinary surgeries, funeral homesand churches. The provision of parking in such developments will beconsidered on an individual basis.4.4.10 The Council reserves the right to treat all planning applications on theirmerits according to the size, nature, location, density, employment andtraffic generation characteristics of the proposed development and itsimpact on the local and regional highway network.4.4.11 The tables in Appendix 1 set out the parking guidelines by land useand where appropriate, according to Parking Zone. The land uses arein summary:a) Residential Developmentsb) Office Developmentsc) Shopsd) Retail Warehousing and Commercial Garagese) General Industry, Distribution and Storagef) Places of Entertainment / Community Establishmentsg) Hotels and Restaurantsh) Educational Establishments.4.5 Design4.5.1 It is a requirement that most types of application for planningpermission are accompanied by a ‘Design and Access Statement’.Guidance on the content of Design and Access Statements is containedwithin Technical Advice Note (TAN) 12: Design (2009) and the Designand Placemaking SPG.14 • Local Development Plan 2006 - 2021
Delivering Design and Placemaking:Access, Circulation & Parking Requirements4.5.2 MfS is a material consideration in determining planning applicationsand applicants should have regard to it in forming their proposals.Applicants will be expected to demonstrate in their Design and AccessStatement how they have used MfS.4.5.3 MfS should be used when considering scheme layout as detailed above.Developers should also follow the points detailed below in thefollowing paragraphs.4.5.4 The maximum number of dwellings that should be served from a singleaccess point is 300. Over 300 dwellings, a second dedicated emergencyaccess should be identified to cater for the emergency services.Extensive development off a single point of access can conflict with theneeds of emergency services as the access will be vulnerable to beingblocked. In order to minimise this risk new development which resultsin more than 150 dwellings being served by a single access is unlikelyto be acceptable.4.5.5 For developments in excess of 300 dwellings, two main access pointswould be required to cater for the adequacy of the roads serving thedevelopment and accessibility by emergency services and publictransport.4.5.6 Where new development is proposed, access will be required to theexisting highway network. The Highway Authority will wish to ensurethat such accesses are not detrimental to highway safety. Emergencyvehicles should be able to access all dwellings and travel distanceswithin estates should be minimised.4.5.7 Street dimensions are fundamental to achieving a successful balancebetween the needs of vehicles and all other street users. Designers ofnew streets, roads and changes to existing highways will need todemonstrate that they have taken into account all of the followingfactors:• The primary and secondary function of the street, road and/ orcarriageway• The volume of vehicular traffic and pedestrian activity• Parking strategy for the development• Traffic composition – vehicle type, frequency of larger vehiclemovements• Design speed for the street, road and/or carriageway, to be 20mphor less in residential areas• The demarcation between carriageway and footway (e.g. kerb, streetfurniture, trees, planting)• The curvature of the street (bends require greater width toaccommodate the swept path of larger vehicles)• Any intention to include one-way streets, or short sections of singlelane working in two way streets• The safety of all highway users.4.5.8 In parts of residential developments where there is a low probabilityof two opposing movements by two larger vehicles, it may beappropriate to have carriageway widths lower than the standard 5.5metres.4.5.9 Where there is a higher probability and higher frequency of opposinglarger vehicle movements such as on a busy public transport routedesigners should consider the need for higher carriageway widths.Local Development Plan 2006 - 2021 • 15
