Arun Parking Standards Update 2022

The Parking Standards SPD relates to the amount of parking, cycle and electric vehicle charging points expected to be provided within development of differing sizes.

Although not specified in the SPD, parking demand calculations are based on gross internal floor area (GIA) when dealing with planning applications. This is consistent with the West Sussex County Council approach (and nationally described space standards) on which the Arun standard is derived, and which should be adopted when applying the Arun Parking SPD to any relevant development.

Please note that the Building Regulations have been updated (for example recently with respect to electric vehicles). Current and future Building Regulations will take precedence over elements of the Arun Parking Standards where appropriate.
