The forthcoming SPG on Housing will include a table setting out a matrix of
residential parking standards that reflect PTAL levels.
6A.3 The provision of bays should be regularly monitored and reviewed to ensure
the level is adequate and that enforcement is effective. Spaces designated for
use by disabled people should be located on firm level ground and as close as
feasible to the accessible entrance to the building. Further details on parking
for disabled people will be provided in the updated supplementary guidance
on achieving an inclusive environment.
Parking for retail development

trips. If on-site parking is justified there should be a presumption that it will be
publicly available. Boroughs should take a coordinated approach with
neighbouring authorities, including those outside London if appropriate, to
prevent competition between centres based on parking availability and
charges.
Parking for commercial development
6A.5 Parking for commercial vehicles should be provided at a maximum standard
of one space per 500 sq. m of gross B2 or B8 floorspace.
6A.6 An appropriate proportion of car parking spaces in commercial developments

standards although a degree of flexibility maybe required to reflect different
