Rejected petition Stop sale of Arundel Road council car park

Arundel Road council car park:
To my neighbours on the trading estate,

The council carpark behind MAK electricals on Arundel road is being sold for development.

Postcode: UB8 2RP

Freehold land registry title no. AGL199136

This would cause huge parking issues for the estate.

More details

The problems this will cause are:

Parking chaos for estate
More traffic from development
This area is a zone 2 flood risk. Clearing the land will increase risk of flood to businesses
Green belt land is eligible to be cleared and have temporary structures on it (cargo containers) - increasing flood risk further
Otters inhabit the Colne river. Destruction of habitat may change this
The UK has 98% of the chalk rivers in the world. The Colne river is one of them.
