REASON: The site is identified in the Development Plan for mixed use regeneration site and a lengthier use for storage and parking would hinder the realisation of this, adversely affecting the vitality of the city centre and the need for housing. Furthermore, the use of the site for storage and parking in the longer term would have a deleterious impact on the visual amenity of the area and impact on the ability to achieve a future flood defence for the city and the delivery of the West Quay Relief Road. As such, a period longer than 2 years for the use would not be acceptable.

3. West Quay Road Access Restriction (Performance Condition)

With the exception of access and egress by emergency service vehicles attending an emergency, the car park hereby approved shall not take access or egress directly onto or off-of West Quay Road at any time. Prior to the first use of the development hereby approved, secure boundary treatment must be erected between the car park and the vehicular access with West Quay Road, in accordance with details agreed pursuant with condition 5, below.

The approved scheme implemented shall be maintained for the lifetime of the development.

Any approved trees, shrubs, seeded or turfed areas which die, fail to establish, are removed or become damaged or diseased, during the lifetime of the use shall be replaced by the Developer in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species unless the Local Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation. The Developer shall be responsible for any replacements for the duration of the use of the site hereby approved.

Any approved trees which die, fail to establish, are removed or become damaged or diseased following their planting shall be replaced by the Developer (or their successor) in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species unless the Local Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation.

REASON: To improve the appearance of the site and enhance the character of the development in the interests of visual amenity, to ensure that the development makes a positive contribution to the local environment and, in accordance with the duty required of the Local Planning Authority by Section 197 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

11. Hours of work for Demolition / Clearance / Construction (Performance)
