Details
The government’s private parking code of practice sets national minimum standards for private parking operators across England, Scotland and Wales..
The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) gave a ‘green’ rating to the initial options assessment for the code of practice on 5 June 2025 and a ‘green’ rating to the impact assessment on 28 September 2026.
This means that we considered the assessments to be ’fit for purpose’ based on our scrutiny of the evidence and analysis supporting the case for why regulation is necessary.
The RPC’s opinions refer to the quality of the evidence and analysis presented in the assessments, not the merits of the policy itself.
