10.12 Car Parking
Lambeth Transport would support a Car Free development in this location
bearing in mind its proximity to public transport services and the Council’s
aspiration to reduce traffic flows and reduce vehicle dominance on the adjacent
gyratory.
10.13 A total of 204 parking spaces are proposed in total with 131 spaces allocated for
the residential dwellings and the remaining 73 spaces for the commercial uses.
That equates to a ratio of 0.25 for the residential use which is lower than initially
proposed. Officers are willing to accept this level of parking on the basis that it is
considered to be in accordance with London Plan standards.
10.14 In terms of the student accommodation and the various commercial uses the
majority of the proposed parking for these uses is to be allocated for Blue Badge
holders or to be used as part of the operation of the business; for clarity general
staff parking is not considered as operational and instead would relate to the
short term parking of maintenance vehicles or similar. To ensure that the
allocation of the car parking spaces is retained in the approved format for the life
of the development a suitable condition or obligation within the S106 should be
used to address this with the ongoing management of all parking detailed within
a Car Parking Management Plan.
10.15 The applicant has undertaken to meet relevant London Plan standards on the
provision of active and passive Electric Vehicle Charging Points within the
development and this should be secured by condition, potentially as part of the
Car Park Management Plan. A total of 25 motorcycle spaces are also proposed
within the basement car park and this is acceptable and should be included
within the Car Parking Management Plan. In order to limit the impact to onstreet
parking levels and to promote sustainable transport modes the entire
development would be excluded from obtaining parking permits, Residential and
Business, via an obligation in the S106 Agreement.
10.16 Car Club
The applicant is proposing to fund the installation of two on-street car club bays
on Miles Street as part of the wider public realm works. The applicant should be
required to provide residents with free membership to an appropriate Car Club
for a minimum of two years. This would be secured through the Section 106
Agreement.
10.17 Cycling and Cycle Parking
The scheme should improve cycling routes and linkages where possible. The
changes to Miles Street and in particular New Lane are welcomed in this
respect but the final proposals will need to ensure that an appropriate balance
between cyclists and pedestrians are achieved within these spaces.
10.18 A total of 1058 cycle spaces are provided within the site for residents and users
of the commercial spaces with additional cycle parking being provided around
