11.230 Travel Plans may be required for new developments: the thresholds and sub-thresholds for Travel Plans are listed in Table 11.12 below. However these are for guidance purposes only. There may be devel- opments below the threshold scale which could benefit from a Workplace Travel Plan and shall be determined by Cork City Council at pre-planning stage. 11.231 The National Transport Authority (NTA) have produced a ‘Toolkit for School Travel’ which provides guidance on school travel plans.

Car Parking

11.232 The City Council area is divided into four zones for the purposes of car parking control, based on each area’s accessibility to mass transit, cycling and walking. Car parking standards for both residential and non-residential developments are set out in Table 11.13. These standards are maximums in order to constrain car trip generation and promote patronage of active travel and public transport.
