Representation ID: 29936

Received: 02/02/2015

Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council

Representation Summary:

Car parking has a strong relationship to traffic generation and consideration will need to be given to balancing operational needs of the site, with encouraging high levels of access by non-car means and supporting sustainable transport access to the site, and thus ensuring that any residual impacts on the highway network are not severe. More detailed consideration of parking numbers, and the approach to parking provision, will be required including detailed assessment of non-car trip patterns, mode split targets, relationship to standards, potential for shared use of parking across different land uses, and impacts of vehicular traffic on networks
