Residential parking standards

This supplementary planning guidance sets standards for the provision of parking space, for bikes, motorcycles and cars, in association with residential development throughout the island, to assist with the interpretation and application of bridging Island Plan Policy TT4: Provision of off-street parking.

The planning system can influence travel choice and the extent to which land is used efficiently, through the application of these standards for the provision of parking space. It can help ensure that people with reduced mobility and access needs have the parking that they need. It can also influence the type of bikes and vehicles that might be used through the provision of electric charging infrastructure.

These standards have been developed to contribute to the delivery of these objectives. They accord with and support the delivery of the bridging Island Plan, the Sustainable Transport Policy and the Carbon Neutral Roadmap.

This guidance supersedes any previous guidance issued in relation to residential parking standards.
