BS 9266:2013 pdf download – Design of accessible and adaptable general needs housing – Code of practice 5.2Dwellings without on-plot parking5.2.1 Provision of communal car parking Where parking is provided, designated accessible parking bays (see 5.2.2) forblocks of flats or individual houses without on-plot parking should be providedon the basis of at least one such bay in each parking location and/or lift coreassociated with that development,plus additional bays distributed across theavailable parking locations. The design should not preclude the possibility ofsome parking bays being increased in size to become accessible bays in thefuture. NOTE 1 The provision of car parking bays in a residential scheme is determined bythe local planning authority.Refer to the parking standards policy in the relevantlocal development plan (see Annex A for information on car park management).NOTE 2 lt is desirable to provide a charging point for electrically powered mobilityscooters (see also 13.7). NOTE 3 In basement car parking areas the constraints imposed by structuralcolumns might preclude the provision of larger bays at a later date unless heflexibility of layout is considered within the initial design. Where the parking location is a large basement served by a number of lift cores,at least one designated accessible parking bay should be located adjacent to each lift core. NOTE 4 ln this context, a parking location might be an enclosed car park (e.g. in a basement, undercroft or podium), an off-street parking court or an on-street bank ofparking, whether in a parallel, angled or right-angled formation. Guidance on car parking design and location is given in Car parking – What works where [6] andManual for streets [7]. where some dwellings in a development are designated as “wheelchair housing” , any specific parking provision for such dwellings should be in additionto the recommendations above. NOTE 5 A small proportion of wheelchair users have high-top conversion vehicles which can require a vertical clearance of at least 2.6 m from the carriageway.Furtherguidance on clearance heights is given in BS 8300:2009+A1,4.3 and 4.4.3.Guidance on barrier control systems,and the controls and vertical clearances of any vehicleheight barriers, is given in Bs 8300:2009+A1,4.4.2 and 4.4.3. NOTE 6 For access routes from car parking spaces, see 6.3. 5.2.2Designated accessible parking bays Designated accessible parking bays should be at least 3.6 m wide x 6.6 m longfor parallel on-street parking, and at least 3.6 m wide x 6.0 m long for enclosedcar parks, off-street parking courts and angled...
