Developer plans new parking spaces while taking over council-owned car park

A developer plans to provide alternative parking after requesting to use a council owned public car park as a construction compound. St David Project Omega Ltd previously gained planning permission to convert the empty Topping Mill into housing for people with mental health issues.

It was occupied by confectioners Scott & Rosse until the 1960s, and has been vacant for several years. A planning application lodged within the past week says the developer is seeking to take possession of a public car park to use during the conversion.

“The loss of the 12 car parking spaces at Topping Street car park, which are currently available to the public free of charge, would result in additional pressure on the available parking in the local streets.”
