Minimise transfer distance by aligning delivery doors with destination doors wherever possible. Minimise proximity to delivery point to minimise lorry dwell time. Can be provided in a wide range of circumstances including residential streets, commercial and industrial streets. Reserved for Blue Badge holders. Should be located adjacent to local amenities. Always consult a local representative group for people with mobility impairments when considering a Blue Badge bay. Minimum bay dimensions No minimum length for standard vehicles but should be related to vehicle demand and manoeuvring requirements. Please refer to Kerbside loading guidance, Appendix 2 for detailed information on loading bay dimensions. No minimum length for standard vehicles but should be related to vehicle demand and manoeuvring requirements. Absolute minimum width: 1,800mm. Absolute minimum: 6,600mm Preferred width: 2,700- 3,600mm Types of parking and loading bays On-carriageway parking/loading bays Parking should not be permitted within bus or mandatory cycle lanes during the hours in which the lanes operate. Loading may be permitted in certain circumstances, but must be carefully enforced to ensure that the facility is not compromised. On-carriageway parking bay On-carriageway loading bay Inset bay – flush with carriageway Designers must consider how permitting a vehicle to stop on the carriageway will affect the sightlines of pedestrian and motorists. Designers must allow for good access to the footway from the bay, especially when introducing loading or Blue Badge parking bays. The installation of a dropped kerb next to the bay should be provided, particularly where the delivery of wheeled goods or waste is expected. Disabled parking combined with loading bays shall generally not be permitted. Inset parking/loading bays Inset bays are on-carriageway facilities, fully recessed into the footway, offering additional protection for parked vehicles by being positioned out of the general flow of traffic. Only in exceptional circumstances should the introduction of inset bays be considered. Such situations should already have a wide footway and a clear demand for loading. Where designers are considering reducing footway space through the installation of loading bays, either inset or on-footway, we must be consulted and an agreement made.

On-footway bays enable flexibility in the use of the footway and can be designed to remain clear during peak pedestrian periods. On-footway bays should be considered as part of any scheme that involves Half-on, footway half-off widening, where loading, parking or servicing requirements need to be retained and traffic lanes kept unobstructed. Half-on, half-off Half-on, half-off loading bays Some loading facilities are designed to allow vehicles to park with the nearside wheels on the raised footway and the offside wheels on the carriageway. Such facilities should use the same placement principles as inset bays regarding vehicle flows, pavement strength and remaining footway width. Due to the restrictions this type of arrangement has on movement, this approach will only be considered as a last resort. On Footway – chamfered kerb On-footway loading should never be at the expense of pedestrian safety or amenity. Pedestrian Comfort Level assessments should be based on the non-loading part of the footway to ensure it still meets minimum standards when a vehicle is present. Where there are heavy periods of peak pedestrian use it may be appropriate to restrict loading times outside of pedestrian peak flow hours. As width on-footway loading, half-on, half-off facilities are suitable in some circumstances but are not appropriate where pedestrians would be impeded or damage to infrastructure might result. On-footway – dropped kerb Due regard should be given to the construction and material choice to ensure that the footway can support vehicular movement. Designers should ensure that any change in elevation is clearly delineated with a kerb edge detail, and trip hazards are minimised by providing a flush bay treatment where practicable.
