Access to the proposed development will be from the existing access road to the car park. The site access and exit arrangements will not change due to installation of an ANPR system.

The equipment used for the proposed development will be of a standard specification and be as environmentally sensitive as possible in terms of design.

The scheme has been located on an area of land that is already used for car parking and as such will not significantly impact upon visual or landscape receptors.

The company says the proposal will ensure that the existing car park is used more effectively and reduce the amount of abuse that currently occurs.
