Criteria

Two-tier criteria
First criteria met if the council has removed minimum parking requirements for new developments in a part of the council's area.

Second tier criteria met if there are no minimum parking requirements across the whole of the council's area.

Clarifications

Minimum parking requirements removed in a part of the council's geographic boundary means minimum parking requirements exist apart from in a designated area. In a rural council this could mean minimum parking requirements have been removed only for the main town or in an urban council they have been removed only for a central area.

Minimum parking requirements for disabled spaces will be exempt from this question - if the council's only minimum parking requirements refer to disabled spaces, this will be enough to get the point.

Guidance for parking requirements, including indicative parking standards, will also be exempt as this will only be deemed guidance
