Have your say on parking standards for new developments in Buckinghamshire

The draft standards set minimum bay sizes and design expectations for safe access and manoeuvring. They cover on‑street and off-street parking spaces including the preference for driveways/car ports over garages and ensuring that where garages are provided, they can be used for their primary purpose as parking spaces.

There are limits on tandem parking, and expectations around surveillance, lighting and integration to ensure parking is not disjointed and does not dominate streets. The intent is to ensure practical, safe layouts that work for residents, visitors and service vehicles accessing the development.

The proposals for parking design and layout requirements are outlined on pages 21-24, section 15 of the Draft Parking Standards for New Developments (PDF 1.10MB).
