Sandwell Local Plan - Reg 19 Publication
Purpose of this Statement
Representation ID: 1290
Received: 25/09/2024
Respondent: Holly Harrison
The phrasing ‘local sustainability factors may allow for a reduction in off-street parking requirements’ doesn’t sufficiently allow the local planning authority to approve lower car parking on sites that are accessible to public transport and take into account low car ownership, as per Chapter 12 of the NPPF. The wording should be changed to ‘local sustainability factors SHOULD allow for a reduction in off-street parking requirements’. Otherwise this isn’t in the spirit of the NPPF in promoting more dense and sustainable design (ie less car parking) in appropriate locations such as near train stations/bus stops/town centres.

Wording should be ‘The Council WILL consider reduced off street parking provision’ to give planning officers strong policy wording to justify lower parking for appropriate sites. Not strong enough wording and therefore is not in the spirit of the NPPF which promotes sustainable development.
