When it comes to Lambeth Methodology Parking Surveys, precision, clarity, and reliability are key. At Obtrada, we understand that no two projects are the same—each requires a tailored approach to ensure councils, planning authorities, and transport consultants receive the accurate data they need to make informed decisions.
Whether you need a Residential Development Parking Survey (covering a 200m) or a more extensive Commercial Development Survey (spanning 500m), Obtrada has the expertise, technology, and efficiency to deliver results you can trust.
When is a Lambeth Methodology Parking Survey Required?
Lambeth Methodology Parking Surveys are essential in a variety of planning and infrastructure scenarios, including:
1. Planning Applications & Approvals
Councils require parking surveys as part of the planning process to assess the impact of new developments on existing parking availability. This is crucial for ensuring sustainable urban development.
2. Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) Reviews
Local authorities use these surveys to evaluate parking stress before implementing or revising CPZs, helping determine whether permit schemes or restrictions are necessary.
3. Transport & Infrastructure Projects
Major roadworks, new transport links, and pedestrianisation schemes can impact local parking conditions. These surveys provide the data needed to predict and manage these effects.
4. Parking Policy & Strategy Development
Councils and transport consultants rely on parking data to develop policies that balance public parking demand with sustainable urban transport strategies.
5. Event Planning & Temporary Traffic Management
Large-scale events can significantly disrupt parking availability. A Lambeth Methodology Survey helps plan for additional restrictions, designated event parking, and public transport alternatives.
