Respondent: Cardinal Lofts (Mill) Ltd

Support the identification of Site IP035, but object to the indicative capacity and lack of express reference to the need to provide parking for both the development itself and adjacent sites (IP206 and IP211).

The scanned representation provides additional information on this, including the associated abnormal costs of developing the site.

The Company supports the intentions underlying Policy SP3 and in particular, the identification of Sites IP206 and IP211. The Company considers, however, that the capacity figures are on the conservative side (and should be increased by up to 50%), with specific reference being made to the need to provide parking on an adjacent suitable site (such as IP035).

Respondent: Cardinal Lofts (Mill) Ltd

The Company supports the general thrust of the Policy, including the proposals to improve pedestrian links between the Central Shopping Area and the Waterfront. However, there are serious concerns about how these proposals impact upon the development of Site IP035 (see representations relating to the Merchants Quarter).

Respondent: Cardinal Lofts (Mill) Ltd

The Company controls three of the most important sites (IP035, IP206 and IP211) in the Merchants Quarter and is concerned that the Development Options plan, together with the Development Principles will render development unviable and frustrate proposals to bring forward sites. Whilst the Company does not take issue with the objectives for the Merchants Quarter, it is of the view that:
- North-South linkages through IP035 are wrongly located;
- Proposed for a new 'urban focal space' on IP035 are oversized and over ambitious; and
- IP035 is capable of accommodating greater than five storeys without adversely impacting heritage assets.
