Reasons

 

24.3     Assessing car and cycle parking provision for new residential development is one key aspect of assessing planning applications.  This guidance document has been developed based on the most up-to-date East Sussex specific car ownership ward data available to reflect the different characteristics that occur at district level.  The calculation tool has been designed to offer developers a user friendly method to ascertain the optimum car/cycle parking provision whilst not compromising road safety for all users.
