| Providing parking for new developments was a big no,no, as the powers that be always thought this was a 'greener' way to go. I can remember being quite incredulous the first time a planning officer and a traffic engineer explained to me how it was thought that if no parking was provided it would make people use public transport! I made the point that it would do no such thing, it would merely make people park outisde someone elses home. Whether or not this is still policy I do not know, I have always thought that the people who dream up these things thinking just because the 'rules' say something people would abide by them was madness, human beings are almost programmed to be awkward, especially when driving comes into the equation. |
