RCP Parking Ltd support the allocation of their site in principle for residential purposes but the decision of when to develop/dispose should be part of their commercial strategy rather than the council is planning authority or a third party. The draft allocation indicates that has a short term delivery timescale but the company has not been consulted on its own business plans. Had it been so consulted it would have reaffirmed the need for flexibility and the certainty of interim beneficial uses such as shortstay car parking in a continuing difficult economic climate.
