Minutes:
The Head of Development Management and his representative gave a presentation and summarised the report for this item, for the construction of a new public car park on the existing Little Paradise car park site.
The Planning Officer referred Members to the updates in the Amendment Sheet, relating to updates in relation to: comments on the application; updates on matters relating to design and landscape have been provided – relevant comments regarding issues as being resolved; update to conditions; and conditions added: relating to phasing; trees; archaeology- as well as amends and deletion of some conditions not considered necessary/applicable.
Since the Amendment Sheet was issued, the Tree Officer has reviewed the updated Arboricultural Assessment and has requested three further conditions to those listed in the Amendment Sheet for: Arboricultural Supervision; Tree Planting Pit Details; and Tree Planting Plan.
a) There are 110 public car parking spaces and 18 blue badges car parking spaces that will be consolidated into 90 public parking spaces as the Bedminster Green plots are developed and this application will consolidate lost parking into this site. It will include 18 blue badge spaces, 6 electric vehicle car club, 66 public parking spaces and electrical vehicle charging points, CCTV and lighting. As a council asset it will be maintained and managed by Bristol City Council Parking Services included in the development electronic real time notice board advising on available spaces in the area.
b) Officers looked to committee to grant the application.
