There was detailed discussion on the provision of parking spaces within the neighbourhood area and impact on existing residents in the vicinity of the site and concern was raised over the lack of communication in respect of the proposed development with the neighbouring properties.  However, members acknowledged the significant need for affordable housing which was to be provided by this development.

The Applicant is requested to share details of the Construction Management Plan with neighbouring properties of the site in advance of construction starting.
