Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)

Representation ID: 2435

Received: 04/09/2024

Respondent: Mr Leslie Brown

Representation Summary:

The current and proposed parking standards provide information on garage sizes. There is no mention in the notes of
garage door widths. My research since 2019 re What car and Autocar details confirms the 95%ile width with wing mirrors is
2.2m. Hence garage doors should be 2.5m in width. St Mary's Island garages are all 2m. You cannot get an SUV or large car in.
Manual for Streets never had garage door widths, only car widths of 2m. Manual for Streets 3 is in the Government Long Grass since 2022. Reference to Car free development should also be inserted.
