- CPC VERDICT: Objection with Comment
1. CPC PC does not believe that the proposal complies with relevant spatial regulations, but accepts, of course, that the Case Officer will make his/her own judgement on this.
2. CPC PC does not accept the views expressed in Item 53 of the Officer’s Report on application 2023/1301 as regards parking stress, in particular “However, the parking surveys for previous applications ………….. concluded that there is capacity for further on-street parking and….. concluded that there would be no significant adverse effect on parking stress arising from the development.” – especially in the light of recent changes, namely:-
a. Claygate Station carpark is no longer free at weekends
b. Torrington Lodge carpark is likely to be developed in the not-too distant future, with a corresponding loss of carparking spaces. As a result, CPC PC requests that the question of parking stress in the area be wholly reconsidered.
3. In the event the proposal is approved, CPC PC requests that a condition be imposed preventing any fixed structure, or planting, being made within a distance to be determined by EBC from the retaining wall, in order to seek to guarantee its stability over time.
4. In the event the proposal is approved, CPC PC request that a Construction Traffic Management Plan be required which, inter alia, prevents deliveries to the site during normal rush hour periods in order to [1] ensure the safety of rail passengers and [2] avoid congestion in the Parade. NB: In addition, CPC Chair, Cllr Holt, made a representation of Objection at the East Area Planning Committee meeting, focussing on parking stress
