Officer report

Residents’ views

Thirty-eight objections raised concerns about consultation, traffic, disturbance, parking, amenity, pollution, trees, refuse, the conservation area and construction management.

“No consultation with neighbouring residents. • Risk of creating precedent for future development of the car park. • Welfare facilities should be within the construction site to minimise disruption. • Previous approval required the car park to remain undeveloped for customer use. • Increased traffic, congestion, noise and construction disturbance. • Highway safety concerns and added parking stress. • Insufficient planning for construction‑phase traffic management.”

“Lack of clarity on managing car park and EV charging spaces during works. • Some welfare unit areas not step‑free. • Clean Air Neighbourhood camera should not be suspended. • No information on worker travel (e‑bikes) or nearby major event impacts. • Inadequate refuse and recycling proposals. • Portacabins would harm the Conservation Area’s character. • Loss of privacy and increased light pollution. • Dust and emissions likely to worsen air quality.”
