LAST week I read about flats and offices being proposed for the old Saab garage site, under Councillor Pam Davey's canal developers' plan.
Garage workers used Vines, Hill End and Waterside for parking, often blocking residential streets and disabled homes access. Your paper reported resulting chaos and councillors' praise for Saab's relocation to ease matters.
Now we find Wychavon is hell bent on creating even worse problems for local homeowners. Planning rules require two parking spaces per flat, so where is the room for 110 cars?
The 14 offices on site also need ten spaces each, so we shall have 250 more vehicles spilling over into surrounding areas. Those in a hurry, such as van drivers and reps, will turn family streets into racetracks.
I urge the chair of Wychavon and her officers to think again, before policy of high -density building makes people prisoners in their own homes or costs a child's life.
