I went along to the display at the health centre this evening, and was amused to discover that the proposed 48 flats are to be sold as 'car-free' although there will be three (yes three) 'accessible on-street parking bays for the residential dwellings'. So I guess they will be for visitors then. I was also told that residents of the flats will not be allowed to apply for CPZ permits, although they had no answer on whether residents working locally would be allowed to apply for business permits! Some forum users will, I'm sure, be pleased to see that cycle parking will be catered for, but I'm guessing that there will be stiff competition from the doctors and staff for the proposed eight parking spaces that are proposed for them. Local residents already find themselves squeezed out of their CPZ by Business Permit holders, and this proposed scheme is not going to help. All this of course is on the basis that the plans as they are currently shown will go ahead. Whilst I was in the small space allocated to the exhibition, I overheard someone introduced as a local councillor telling the representatives of the scheme that a particularly influential councillor had said that the scheme was 'not viable'. I invite forum members to decide what would be 'viable'. Would it be 60 flats, would it be 100 flats? If so, then obviously three or four floors would not be enough - and quite literally, the sky's the limit. |
