Parking Standards Review - Initial Consultation
The City of Edinburgh Council has
recently commenced a review of its existing Parking Standards document, which
was published in 1999, with the intention of updating it. Halcrow Group Ltd is providing assistance to
the Council.
In order to help inform the review, the Council would like
an initial stage of consultation to be undertaken, which involves writing to
all Community Councils to request comments on the existing Parking Standards
document. At this time, the Council is
interested in finding out what your Community Council considers are the main issues
that the review should be assessing, with a particular emphasis on the following
questions:-
- Should
the levels of parking required for new developments be adjusted?
- Consideration
is being given to a system which relates the amount of parking required/permitted
for residential developments to the size of dwellings and their
accessibility to public transport and local services. Do you have any
initial views on this proposal?
- Do
you have any comments on the existing zone system?
- Do
you have any comments on the requirements for cycle parking, motorcycle
parking or parking for disabled people?
The Parking Standards document can be viewed on-line and
down-loaded from the Council’s website.

and the document is highlighted in the Transport Guidelines section. The Community Council will be very happy to hear your views and to have them to hand for our response.
