Despite their seeming simplicity, the design of a car park on multiple levels – whether above ground or below – involves the consideration of a number of significant requirements. These range from efficient circulation to structural matters, crime prevention and health & safety aspects. The various subject areas are discussed in more detail below. Planning and layout The first consideration for the layout of a car park is the number of vehicles to be accommodated, compared with the space available.

Cost constraints for excavation in the case of underground car parks, for example, need to be factored in. Vehicle flow rates will need to be factored in to calculations for the number of spaces to be provided to meet demand at peak times in, for example, a shopping centre or hospital.

Multi storey car parks generally fall in to one of a number of basic layout types: • Flat deck • Split level • Sloping deck (or ‘ramped floor’) Vehicle access to parking areas can be via: • External ramps • Internal ramps • End or centre ramps, or a combination • vehicle lifts Similarly, vehicle circulation can be organized by: • Combined or separate entry/exit • One-way or two-way traffic Having established these basic parameters, the primary generator of the layout of a car park is the size and constraints of the vehicles that will use it. Whilst in the main this will typically be cars (and to some extent motor cycles), larger vehicles such as fire appliances or ambulances will also need to be considered. Geometrical requirements include turning circles, swept paths and ramp gradients. Notable requirements under the Building Regulations include fire resistance and means of escape (Part B), accessibility (Part K and Part M) and guardings (Part K).

Common vehicle space standards and dimensions can be found in the New Metric Handbook, in addition to Local Authority highway design guides and the Institution of Structural Engineers publication, Design recommendations for multi-storey and underground car parks.

Usage matters that affect the design include payment methods (pay machines on parking decks or in stair lobbies, or pay-by-phone) and grace periods allowed after payment, prior to vehicle exit (if pay-on-exit is selected). Safety and security Crime-related issues are well covered by the Safer Parking Scheme publication, Park Mark Safer Parking Scheme – New Build Car Park Guidelines for car park designers, operators and owners: Design principles • Owners and operators obligations under the Health & Safety at Work Act, as amended by S I N o. 2174/2002 concerning the ‘stability and solidity’ of employment premises. • Occupiers Liability Act 1957 covers the safety of persons entering the premises – lawfully of otherwise.
