Nottingham only requires 1 to 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling due to the exceptional public transport system in the city. Developers often prefer offering more parking spaces for 3-5 bedroom homes in out of town locations, therefore, a maximum of two spaces per dwelling for large homes could be acceptable upon liaison with the case officer.
The DQF makes it clear that car-dominated streets are not acceptable and when necessary, applicants will be strongly advised to change their designs or face significant delays and very possibly planning refusal.
COURTYARDS
Parking in court yards is strongly discouraged and will only be considered acceptable to serve flats (one car per dwelling) and when the parking area is not adjacent or visible from the street scene.
ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Nottingham City Council requires at least one electric vehicle charging point for every parking on plot or curtilage.
