APPENDIX 1 –
HAMPSHIRE PARKING STANDARDS 2002 |
| |
|
| |
NOTES FOR APPLYING PARKING
STANDARDS |
| |
Havant Borough Council has adopted the
Hampshire Parking Standards 2002 subject to the following: |
| |
(a) |
That for the purposes of reducing car parking
provision in highly accessible locations, as outlined in Table A below,
only those areas within Havant and Waterlooville town centres, as
shown on drawing numbers HI33/002 and 003 respectively, be considered. |
| |
(b) |
That the provision of new public transport
services be monitored and new areas where reducing car parking provision
may be appropriate be brought forward. |
| |
(c) |
That a process of monitoring planning permissions
for residential developments be put in place to ascertain whether
the Government’s criterion of on average ensuring that no more than
1.5 off-street car parking spaces per dwelling is achieved Borough-wide.
|
| |
(d) |
If the monitoring identified in (c) above
demonstrates that the Government’s target is being exceeded the policies
and the standards and their interpretation are reviewed with regards
to residential development to ensure compliance with the target. |
| |
|
| |

The Parking Standards
2002 are detailed in the following tables: |

Car parking – How to calculate
the parking allocation for a development |
| |
The application of maximum parking standards
conforms to the requirements of PPG 3, para. 51 and 60; and PPG 13
para. 51.The main factor will be accessibility of the site, upon completion,
by non-car modes. An indication of current levels of accessibility
(before any development-related enhancement) is on the County Council
website. As a general rule, areas of high accessibility are served
by at least six buses an hour within 500 metres and good cycling and
pedestrian facilities. Developments in such accessible locations warrant
less car parking than is shown under the maximum parking limit. For
more guidance, please refer to your local planning authority. |
| |
Several local factors can also influence
the calculation of the parking allocation. For example: |
| |
1 |
Area of economic regeneration or constraint.
Reduced parking will apply in constraint areas while regeneration
areas may warrant a slight increase in parking. |
| |
2 |
Zone characteristics. Historic town centres,
other environmentally sensitive locations, or specific locations that
have particular Road Traffic Reduction Act targets will warrant reduced
parking allocations. |
| |
3 |
Self-containment. Reduced parking may be
justified in highly self-contained areas, while a reduction may be
inappropriate where it is less self-contained, eg a location competing
with a neighbouring area. |
| |
4 |
Cycle accessibility. Where there is high
cycle accessibility planned or in use, reduced parking will apply.
|
| |
Other parking in the locality must also
be considered. |
| |
The calculation of parking spaces to be
allocated for a development should take account of two further factors:
|
| |
|
1 |
Existing public parking stock with spare capacity within
walking distance of the development site should be included in the
overall maximum parking provision. |
| |
|
2 |
Additional development on a site will mean the entire
parking stock being brought into account. |
| |
3 |
Levels of adjustment
in the parking allocation |
| |
|
|
| |
The reduction in parking allocation varies
at different rates according to land use. |
| |

| Employment (inc. non-residential care staff) |
100% |
30% |
|
| |
|
| |
Where there is most accessibility (for
example, close to transport interchanges), zero parking will be encouraged
if local circumstances permit. |
| |
4 |
Parking for pedal cyclists
and motorcyclists |
| |
Minimum cycle parking standards are indicated
on the attached tables by land use. It is expected that at least the
specified level should be provided. For more details on cycle provision,
in particular short- and long-stay facilities, refer to 'Cycle Parking
Standards - Accompanying Advice' at the end of this document. Generally,
for motorcycles – except in residential land uses – one space is to
be provided for every 25 car parking spaces. |
| |
5 |
Parking for people with
disabilities |
| |
Suitable parking spaces should be provided
for people with disabilities. Generally, except for residential land
uses, disabled people's car parking spaces should be counted as 5%
of the total allocation. General advice is included in Parking for
Disabled People (Traffic Accident Leaflet 5/95) published by the DTLR
and Accessible Transport Infrastructure: A Guide to Good Practice,
by the DTLR. Hampshire County Council's Accessible Transport Strategy
and the ‘Movement, Access, Streets and Spaces’ document (July 2001)
should also be considered. |
| |
6 |
Heavy commercial vehicles:
parking standards |
| |
Where required, an operational number of
spaces for HCV parking will be considered on the basis of individual
application to the local planning authority. |
| |
7 |
Design |
| |
The layout and design of car parks should
take account of the 'Secured by Design' initiative to reduce crime
and maximise personal safety. |
| |
8 |
Thresholds for parking
standards, transport assessments and site travel plans |
| |
The parking standards apply to developments
of all sizes. However, for larger developments a transport assessment
and a company or site travel plan will be required. |
| |
Table B below, based on guidance contained
within PPG 13, indicates the thresholds above which a transport assessment
and a company or site travel plan is submitted. For further guidance
on travel plans, refer to PPG 13 paras. 87-91. |

Notes: |
| |
|
1 |
Clearly, residential parking is different in nature
to non-residential parking, being a trip origin for home-based trips.
However, local planning authorities will monitor planning permissions
and review the residential parking standards with a view to achieving
an average residential provision of no more than 1.5 spaces per dwelling
in accordance with Planning Policy Guidance Note 3 – Housing (PPG3)
paragraph 62. |
| |
|
• |
Where a garage is provided, each garage will be designated
as one car space plus one cycle space. Standard garage size should
allow enough space for a car and cycle (recommended at least 6m x
3m internal dimensions), although garages are not always used for
storing cars. |
| |
|
• |
On-street parking in association with residential development
should generally be discouraged through good design. However, parking
lay-bys may be designed into the road layout in accordance with current
local design guidance. |
| |
|
• |
The above standards take into account visitors’ parking.
|
| |
|
• |
If part spaces result from a development proposal,
these should be rounded up to the nearest whole number. |
| |
|
• |
If warden or staff spaces are identified, these apply
to full-time equivalent staff. |
| |
|
• |
In locations of prime accessibility (close to transport
interchanges), zero parking will be encouraged if local circumstances
permit. |

Proposed standards will take account of commercial
development in predominantly residential areas – where demonstrable
harm to local residents occurs, the provision of on-street parking
controls will be considered. |
| |
|
- |
This document does not provide guidance on commercial
vehicle parking standards, which will be considered by the local planning
authority on the basis of individual application. |
