A2 Appendix Two - Parking Standards
   
A2.1 The Deposit Plan included parking standards based on those produced by Lancashire County Council in 1988. These standards were based on minimum provision based upon the characteristics of the development proposed. The plan did however identify that these standards were the subject of current review. In 1997 the County produced "Parking in Lancashire" which made the change from minimum standards to maximums. However, since then there have been further changes to national and regional policy. This was in the light of recommendations made in PPG3 and is now reflected in the requirements of Regional Planning Guidance.
A2.2 As a result the County Council produced draft Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) on 'Access and Parking' and 'Parking Standards' as part of their review of the Lancashire Structure Plan in July 2002. This was the subject of an Examination in Public in January 2004.
A2.3 Preston City Council adopted the parking standards within the draft SPG on an interim basis on the 12 February 2003. As a result the standards are not reproduced in this Appendix but reference should be made to the draft standards, or in due course the formally adopted standards.
