There's not much parking in many new developments these days. For
example the most expensive new flats in Cambridge specifically had less
than one space (which cost extra) per apartment.

In a lot of places it seems to be a condition of planning to allocate 1
space per property.

In congested places, a *maximum* of one.

I do not know why we don't do what the Chinese do - new block of flats
(even if 3 storeys) gets underground car parking.

Because councillors are convinced that providing parking encourages
traffic, and they've got more of the latter than they can cope with,
already.
