Car sharing – aim and principles - KBCN1510

Aim The aim of this measure is that the asset’s management establishes, promotes and administers a process which encourages building users to share private car journeys to and from work, reducing the number of cars used for this purpose. Principles A car sharing group will, generally:

• Be available to all building users who normally travel to work by private car.

A car sharing group is not:

• A vehicle hire/loan scheme.
• Intended to offset journeys which would otherwise have been made by public transport or active travel modes (e.g. walking or cycling).

The criteria do not prescribe what terms and conditions should be implemented and, whilst the above principles should generally be followed, specific arrangements may vary. Evidence and justification must always be provided to demonstrate that the above aim is met.

Car sharing – location of priority parking - KBCN0796

Priority spaces for car sharers need to be located in the nearest available parking area to the main building entrance or to an entrance regularly used by the car sharers. For refurbishment projects, this applies regardless of whether external works or changes to car parking areas are within the scope of works. Assigning and clearly marking out the location of priority parking spaces is a measure that can be taken by any project regardless of scope, provided there are suitable external parking areas.

21-Jul-2026 - Scheme applicability updated. Wording expanded to clarify how KBCN applies to refurbishment projects. Title updated for consistency.
22-Sep-2022 - Applied to UK NC 2018.

Car sharing – speculative projects - KBCN0878

Setting up a car sharing group requires two parties:

• The developer must develop the physical infrastructure (assigning, segregating and signposting the spaces).
• The asset management or end user must set up the scheme.

On this basis this measure will generally be unavailable to speculative projects, however: Green fit-out agreement If there is evidence of a legally binding agreement for a future tenant to set up a scheme, this can also be considered as meeting the intent of this transport measure.

22-Jul-2026 - Scheme applicability updated. Title updated for clarity. New text added on green fit out agreements.

Car sharing – calculation of priority spaces - KBCN0282

The calculation of priority spaces for car sharers should account only for the car parking capacity that is dedicated to the staff working in the building, without considering spaces for customers or visitors. Car sharing spaces should be clearly segregated from customer / visitor parking areas.

21-Jul-2026 - Scheme applicability updated.
06-Sep-2023 - Title updated to align with naming protocol.
23-Mar-2017 - Note added clarifying requirement for segregation.
