The Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) 2026 introduces a more flexible approach to parking provision. This is in instances where this can be robustly justified and supported through the provision of sustainable transport options, such as:
- car clubs
- financial contributions toward off-site travel planning measures
Following adoption of the Bracknell Forest Local Plan, the Parking Standards SPD has been updated to supplement the following Local Plan policies:
- LP 25 transport principles
- LP 26 transport infrastructure provision
- LP 28 design principles
- LP 60 assessing transport impacts and requirements
- LP 61 travel plans
- LP 62 parking
The SPD was approved for adoption by the council on 23 June 2026. It is a material consideration in the determination of planning applications.
The Parking Standards SPD (2016) is now withdrawn. A copy is provided below for existing applications which have been considered under the 2016 SPD.
