This research, which was undertaken by WSP Ltd in association with Phil Jones
Associates, TRL and David Lock Associates, considers expected levels of car
ownership1 and the factors which have a significant influence on car ownership
and car parking demand, including:
• Dwelling size, type and tenure;
• Dwelling location;
• Availability of allocated and unallocated parking spaces;
• Availability of on-and off-street parking;
• Availability of visitor parking; and
• Availability of garage parking.
The Census is the most suitable source of car ownership data that is widely
available, and one way of presenting this data is set out in Appendix A
