Details

The original Car Parking What Works Where (CPWWW) was published by Homes England’s predecessor organisation, English Partnerships in 2006.

This document builds upon the first edition of CPWWW that set out simple rules for car parking (including cycle storage and EV charging).

It introduces alternative strategies to manage parking on residential schemes and presents updated case studies to demonstrate best practice, showing how parking can be successfully integrated into new developments.

This document is part of the Homes England sustainable placemaking guidance series.
