Additional phasing issue - the use of the ground floors of the higher residential buildings may lend themselves with time to other uses - retail, services or public. In order to enable such future flexibility it is proposed to condition the construction of taller floor to ceiling height for these spaces (say 3-3.5m).

Paragraph 4.7.4 We welcome the phased approach and planning for the longer term provision of housing addressing Hooper Street to replace the garages once their lease has expired.

Insufficient consideration seems to have been given to the adverse impact this will on the Ainsworth St / Hooper St / Sturton St area. Notice has not been taken of the parking problems we have consistently spoken about at the depot-development area end of Sturton Street including:

Hooper Street Garages - Concern that the existing garage block in Hooper Street will be demolished in favour of further housing to be accessed from Hooper Street when the leases expire adding to the already congested streets.

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.'
