Town-centre car park set to stay -- all the latest Mansfield planning applications

The temporary car park, which has 100 spaces, was created on a plot of land off Belvedere Street, next to Mansfield bus station and close to Quaker Way and Queen Street.

The site, spanning just over an acre, is owned by real-estate company Aldergate Properties Ltd, which is based in Arnold and has been hoping to sell it for shops and other uses.

However, the firm has not yet been successful, so it has submitted a planning application to Mansfield District Council for the site’s continued use as a temporary car park “for a period of five years unless extended by agreement with the council”.

A letter sent to the council by Aldergate’s agents, the Derbyshire-based consultancy, Green 4 Planning, says: “The applicant continues to market the site for retail and other uses.

"The car park is hard-surfaced and has existing light columns and ticketing machines etc. As part of previous consents, it is agreed that there is no unacceptable risk to highway safety.”

The council’s planning officers are currently mulling over the proposal and hope to make a decision or recommendation by their deadline date of Thursday, August 13,
