Planning Policy Guidance 13 (PPG13), which sets out the Government’s policy objectives for the integration of planning matters and transport at all levels, and for the promotion of sustainable transport choices, both for people and for freight transportation, has been updated (updating PPG 13 published on 20 April 2001). The update reflects changes to parking standards introduced by the Government (i.e. the levels of parking allowed in association with new development, now set out in Appendix D of PPG 13, and to be applied by planning authorities as a maximum throughout England) and changes in relation to parking charges (i.e. requiring appropriate levels of parking charges for parking vehicles in urban areas, which are aimed at not undermining the vitality of town centres).
