Councillor Cummins noted that the report made no mention of permit free parking for a proposal that would result in 3 new flats within an area with parking problems and emphasised the need for such controls. Councillor Daley raised concerns regarding the loss of communal space in respect of the function room. In response, Rachel McConnell stated that the existing flats in the block were able to apply for parking permits and advised that there are genuine practical problems when issuing permits where it is proposed that only some units within a block will be permit free. Stephen Weeks, Head of Area Planning, added that the demand for additional parking that would result from the proposal would not be significant as to warrant imposing such a condition particularly taking into account its authorised use as a function room.
