Appendix A - Residential Parking survey methodology - Areas within a Residents Parking Zone (RPZ) and Areas within a RPZ

The figures given in the results tables (there are two of them - one under each heading) shown in the consultation response document are incorrect (they do not use a 6m length as set out in the preceeding text) and do not match those in the Parking Standards document. Also the parking stress figures for streets B and C for streets not in a RPZ in the Parking Standards Document are incorrect.

The tables in the consultation response document should be replaced by the the correct tables (see attachment)

The calculation of the number of PHB spaces (in RPZ) or the number of parking spaces (not in RPZ) is overstated as, in practice, any given street is rarely filled to true capacity due to vehicles coming and going, variations in gaps between parked cars and so on. These figure should be factored down to 90% in line with the methodology set out in the 2005 Arup study, which unerpinned the Decriminalisation of Parking Enforcement (DPE). Parking stress should then be calculated against these, lower, figures.

Appendix A - Residential Parking survey methodology - Required information

This section does not provide for the inclusion of future parking demand from residential developments approved, but not yet constructed and occupied. WCC keeps records of these and demand should be added to the total measured demand (from the parking survey) on the basis of the Parking Standards requirements.
