Parking standards - a comment.
It is very important that sufficient car parking spaces are provided in any new developments. Providing fewer parking spaces does not prevent people using cars it just prevents emergency services vehicles from accessing homes due to cars parked inappropriately. It is important to provide sustainable forms of transport for new developments and option 2b with a smaller new settlement at Little Barford would be able to provide this.

Respondent: Great Denham Parish Council
The Council would ask that the learning from the developments at Great Denham and Land West of Kempston are included in an updated Parking Standards for Sustainable Communities SPD2104. The impact of behind-housing courtyard parking on both on-street parking congestion, anti-social behaviour and crime has been felt in Great Denham due to the current design of parking arrangements.

Respondent: Central Bedfordshire Council
Paragraph 7.15 lists a number of supplementary guidance documents, some of which appear to be quite dated. It may be beneficial if these documents were reviewed as part of the forthcoming design guide. The preparation of a new design guide is supported by Central Bedfordshire Council, and we would welcome being consulted on the scope and content of this document in due course.
Central Bedfordshire Council also support the requirement for residential space standards in line with Nationally Described Space Standards. As drafted, the policy requires all residential developments to conform to the standards ‘as a minimum’. This implies that there may be cases where higher space standards may be sought. If this is the case, the scenario/type of development to which higher standards may be sought should be set out in the policy. Also, it would be worth noting whether this policy requirement has been viability tested.
