APPENDIX V: Press release and Poster

Rushmoor Reviews its Parking standards for new development

Parking standards on new development across Aldershot and Farnborough have been reviewed by Rushmoor Borough Council and comments on a new Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) to outline what will be expected of developers in the future are welcomed by the Council. The new standards reflect national guidance and apply them more flexibly to suit the particular needs of people who live and work in Rushmoor. Previous national guidance on parking standards, aimed to encourage reductions in car ownership by providing less parking in places with good accessibility to public transport and therefore placing less reliance on the car. A change in this national guidance means that the Council has been able to review this policy and make changes to better reflect the situation in Rushmoor. The review has shown that car ownership isn’t always affected or reduced when a development is in an accessible location close to community facilities and transport links. The review has also led the Council to look at ways to improve parking options in new developments by using better design and layout to maximise spaces and ensure that parking is safe and accessible. Councillor Roland Dibbs, Cabinet Member for Environment said: "Many of the existing parking problems in residential areas are linked to increasing levels of car ownership and this is something we will be considering as part of the review. The decision for car ownership is not always effected by the other transport options available locally and even with good transport links, many residents still choose to have a car.” Councillor Dibbs, added: “It is vital that sufficient car parking spaces are included in new developments. It is also just as important that parking layouts in our residential areas are accessible, of high quality and are safe and secure for the people of Rushmoor.” Public consultation on this Supplementary Planning Document (SPDs) on Parking standards as well as another which sets out the Council’s approach to implement Hampshire County Council’s Transport Contributions Policy for determining planning contributions for highway starts on Friday 22nd February and runs until 3rd April. Copies of the SPD can be seen at the Council Offices in Aldershot and Farnborough, Aldershot and Farnborough libraries and Online at www.rushmoor.gov.uk/spds
