Decision details

Further to Minute No. 36, 16^th July 2014, the Director of City Development submitted a report which advised of the public consultation process, feedback and subsequent changes made to the Leeds Parking Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). Specifically, the report recommended the adoption of the re-drafted Leeds Parking SPD, which would formally replace a number of parking policies contained within the Unitary Development Plan.

Members discussed the proposed SPD and highlighted the need to strike the correct balance between ensuring adequate parking provision and the sustainability of other modes of transport, alongside the promotion of economic growth and regeneration.

In response to an enquiry, Members received an update regarding the possibility of future park and ride provision in the city.

RESOLVED –
