HC Deb 29 March 2004 vol 419 c1258W
Mr. Chope

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister when the research on car parking in sustainable environments will be published: and if he will make a statement. [164273]

Yvette Cooper

This research is due to be completed by the end of April. Officials in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister will then make arrangements for making it publicly available. This report is intended to assist local authorities in setting appropriate standards that can deliver well-designed sustainable residential environments, in both rural and urban areas, as is required by PPG3.

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister also intends that key messages in this report will form part of the revised guidance on the design and layout of residential streets, which the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Department for Transport will jointly produce.
