Submitted report by the Assistant Chief Executive (Development and Promotion) on the Scottish Executive's draft National Planning Policy Guideline 17 (NPPG 17) Addendum: Transport and Planning Maximum Car Parking Standards.

NPPG 17 published in April 1999, sets out Government Policy on the integration of land use and transport planning. This included a policy change from minimum parking standards, as the norm, to a new system of maximum parking standards and further detailed guidance would be issued in due course.

The Scottish Executive has now issued an Addendum to NPPG 17 which sets out a limited range of significant travel generating land uses and proposes that local authorities should prepare in consultation with stakeholders their own set of maximum parking standards.

The application of maximum parking standards is only one proposal to constrain the rate of traffic growth. Whilst the imposition of maximum parking standards may be an effective way of restraining traffic growth in cities and larger towns, which have a choice of transport, this is less appropriate in the more rural areas and in smaller towns within North Ayrshire. Without a base level of appropriate parking standards there is concern that potential developers will bring forward development proposals with inadequate parking facilities. A review of parking standards within North Ayrshire is therefore required which takes account of the accessibility of alternative modes of transport.

The Sub Committee agreed (a) to recognise the use of maximum car parking standards as one element in achieving the overall objective of containing the rate of growth in traffic; (b) to request the Executive to reconsider the proposed national standards to take specific account of the situation within smaller towns and more rural areas; and (c) to instruct the Assistant Chief Executive (Development and Promotion) and Head of Roads (Property Services) to undertake a review of existing parking standards on an Ayrshire wide basis.

The meeting ended at 3.55 p.m.
