Parking for motorcycles

Motorcycles and mopeds can provide an alternative to the private car for certain trips and can also provide environmental benefits over single-occupancy cars. 

The minimum parking standard for motorcycles and mopeds at developments with off-street car parks is:

  • One space, plus an additional space for every 10 car parking spaces.

Parking spaces should normally be:

  • 2.5m x 1.5m with a 1m space between each bike.

The design of the parking area must allow motorcycles and other powered two wheelers to be secured to the ground while parked.

Parking provision should be considered in relation to any travel plan associated with a development proposal.
