What transport evidence an East Renfrewshire planning application needs, the parking standards that apply, and the policies an assessment should address.
Which document do you need?
In Scotland, NPF4 Policy 13 requires a transport assessment wherever a development will generate a significant increase in the number of person trips, undertaken in accordance with the relevant guidance.
Transport Statement
A shorter document for smaller schemes where transport issues are limited: access, parking, trips and sustainable travel.
Transport Assessment
A full assessment for larger schemes: trip generation, network impact, junction capacity and mitigation.
Parking standards
East Renfrewshire's Local Development Plan 2 sets no numeric parking standards. It asks for parking in line with the Council's Roads Development Guide, so agree provision with the Council early.
