| | The Committee welcomed the changes proposed in the new planning application which addressed most of the Parish Council’s earlier concerns. However some concerns remain viz:- - the relocation of the taxi rank is supported but the Committee is not convinced that the relatively small Avebury Boulevard roundabout will not become congested at peak times
- there remains a major potential, conflict between vehicles and pedestrians on the south west corner where additional single level parking is now proposed. This does not seem to be good design
- there is a similar potential conflict in the south west corner where pedestrians in the new public square may “meet” lorries delivering bio-mass fuel to the energy centre
- what is the nett effect of the changed car parking proposals in overall available parking spaces/
- is there to be dedicated parking for the hotel/
and finally the Committee reiterated the request that planning obligation (section 106) money be secured to address the problems of litter generated by Xscape business being dropped in neighbouring residential areas particularly Campbell Park. |
