Respondent: Cllr Richard Robertson

There was not consensus on the retention of the garage block off Hooper St. The draft SPD assumes these would be replaced by housing at some future point but this will not be easy to achieve. This facility is valuable to residents in and around Hooper St so some replacement should be provided. The point was made in the consultations that the opportunity should be taken to relocate this parking and an underground facility was suggested. The SPD should make clear that 'the garage block should be removed and replaced with enough alternative secure car parking (possibly underground) to meet demand from the existing garage users.'
