Omitting a car park to replace with housing will make the area congested. Limit vulnerable and older residents getting into town. Surrounding houses are likely to be affected by light, congestion and rubbish.
Reduce number of homes planned for the site or leave car park as is. This will make local plan more sound and justified.
Unsound - It will still bring heavy traffic to the town centre. Omitting a car park to replace with housing will make the area congested. Limit vulnerable and older residents getting into town.
The area will also be densely populated going against the spacial environment set out in the plans.
Surrounding houses are likely to be affected by light, congestion and rubbish.
Reduce number of homes planned for the site or leave car park as is. There will be a reduction in footfall to town centre which will have a negative impact on retail given the high street as a whole in the UK is in national decline. This will make local plan more sound and justified.
