Changes to Parking Standards SPD
The Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) adopted in June 2018, sets out the amount of parking expected to accompany developments of different land-uses for vehicles and bicycles, and minimum parking space dimensions.
Warwick District Council is now undertaking a public consultation on minor changes to the Parking Standards SPD and would like your comments. This consultation will run from Wednesday 23 April – Wednesday 11 June 2025.

The distance between crossovers should be measured in units of 6m. For example, if the distance between two crossovers or a crossover and another obstruction is 14m, then only 12m should be counted in the survey, and any space between crossovers measuring less than 5m 6m should be discounted from the calculation. For reasons of highway safety, the first 10m from a junction should also be omitted from the calculation.

Note that stress levels of over 100% stress (or 100% occupancy level) are possible. This is because small cars may need less space than 5m 6m to park, meaning that additional cars can be accommodated.
