  • Precinct Comments
    Precinct Comments - As a (very!) local resident my primary concerns are the impact - noise, access., traffic during the development construction - That the development has realistic amounts of parking (not run by a private parking company) - to minimise the effect of 100+ extra residents in centre of chorlton + increased number of shoppers. - It is essential to my support that a plan is made to guarantee that the local businesses in the precinct - especially Frosts, Elliots + the Art Market are to survive the process and continue to operate in a site they are happy with. Chorlton is already a very busy town and having housing in the centre will cause unnecessary congestion & carparking issues, alongside increased pressures on schools and doctors surgeries. - - It’s very important that the current tenants in the precinct are able to remain at sensible business rates and aren’t replaced by chains. There will be a huge loss of car parking. There is little car parking in chorlton aside from precinct car park. This level of car parking should be retained in any development plans. - We don't need more flats and certainly don't need housing in the centre. I think starter homes, affordable and family homes should be prioritised off ryebank road. I am in favour of outward facing shops/mixed use onto Manchester Road as well as the pedestrianised inner precinct that can double for market space but car park provision is very important. I can't lug bags of stuff to the charity shops by hand, there are no other spaces to park for school drop off/collection and the car park is always nearly full which shows just how much provision.
