The scheme featured 42 flats with commercial and restaurant space
Plans for 42 flats on Manchester's curry mile have been thrown out. The four-storey development in Rusholme, which features 5,500 sq ft of commercial and restaurant space on the ground floor, has been rejected.
But Manchester council officers refused planning permission for the scheme last week citing the lack of parking and increased traffic among their reasons. Views senior development manager Patrick Sheridan said the developer is 'disappointed' about the decision which it is currently considering appealing.
"We commissioned parking surveys of the local area and it was concluded up to 100 on street parking spaces will become available once the RPZ is implemented. In addition, as part of our planning application we proposed a car club bay adjacent to the site, two years free car club membership and £40 driving credit for each new resident, as well as restricting new residents from applying to the Council for an on-street parking permit.
Five reasons for refusal were listed in the decision notice published last week. Firstly, the proposed development would increase demand for on-street parking in an area already experiencing highly levels of demand, it said.
