And develop tools to assess the parking for areas outside of the aforementioned. With almost 200,000 new homes due to be built between now and 2040 it is essential that we have the right policies and resources in place to ensure that new developments and garden communities are built in the most sustainable locations and designed from the outset to be sustainable, where active travel including travel by bus is maximised, and carbon emissions derived from transport associated with the development is factored into the planning assessment process. The scale of new settlements and larger scale developments mean that they can be designed to be self-reliant providing for the communities employment, health, education, leisure and day to day shopping need reducing the need to travel. With increased home working and to the door digital connectivity, the need to travel is reduced further. Therefore, achieving a lower level of car parking appears feasible. To undertake the necessary research and evidence base to support the production of phase 2 of the EPOA Parking Standards and a Parking Strategy with associated parking standards and design guidance for new garden communities, large scale developments, walkable neighbourhoods and general development (residential and non-residential) considering accessibility to key facilitates and sustainable transport.
