This site is located in a highly sustainable location and would be suitable for a housing or mixed-use development.  There is significant potential to consider the development of the upper part of the car park including the library as part of a mixed-use scheme. The parking strategy identified the car park as being at maximum capacity for weekday parking. It will be necessary to maintain some level of parking on this site
