Parking Standards for Developments below the Threshold Size									
There will be a presumption that the above maximum standards apply to developments below the threshold size but each case will be on merit and the parking provision for each site will be considered in the light of its location and the need to reduce private vehicle mileage in line with PPG13 	
														
Notes														
														
Oxford City Council has localised parking standards which reflect the high public transport accessibility where developers are proposing levels of parking below the maximum levels they will be required to submit supporting information to show the likely impact on street and to public transport. This could include parking surveys to show the level of existing parking stress and an assessment of any road safety implications. It may also require a contribution to improving public transport and/or parking controls.	
														
Operational parking is the level of parking to accommodate those vehicles required for the essential operation of the land use under consideration.  The specific operational need of an applicant will not necessarily be the determinant of the parking provision.	
														
Travel Plans will be required to show how the use of private vehicle trips will be controlled or reduced Cycle Parking will be required in line with the County Council's cycle parking standards.  Parking provision for people with disabilies should be provided in line with BS 8300:2001.
