I'm considering my response to a planning application whereby a

I'm hoping someone on here will know where to look up the general
guidelines councils apply e.g. on average, how many extra cars might you
expect from 34 bedrooms in the south east? Is there a formula?
I don't want to complain unreasonably (people have to live somewhere)
but, as it stands, it sounds like parking chaos.
Any pointers appreciated.

17 two bed flats = 34 cars, -11 spaces = 23 parked in nearby roads

And it could be worse than that - a double bed for Mum and Dad and a
stay at home son = 3 cars per flat! OK, that's the upper limit but
that gives added weight to the 2 cars per flat.

The upper limit could include the SaH son/daughter's boy/girl friend
round as well, plus any of the parents' friends too. One of my neighbours'
houses often has 5 cars outside.
