Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I would like to make the point that the provision of car parking in all new developments is clearly way below the need. This has already shown up on the Clothal estate, Icknield Way East and Icknield Way.
The provisions detailed in Appendix 4 are woefully inadequate for current needs. More children are having to live at their parent's house beyond school age and need their own car to get to work. 4 spaces per family dwelling would be realistic. The elderly may not use their cars frequently; but find one essential on occasions. They also would expect to be able to receive visitors (hopefully often) who will need to park somewhere. Many people nowadays park their work van/lorry/trailer at their home overnight.
The preceding question is nonsense. I support the need for houses but object to the poor provision for parking, but you probably won't read this far and my efforts will score 1 on the object count.
