Grotto Pub Site

Many of you will know of the Grotto Pub Site.  It was my local when I moved here over thirty years ago. On Monday next a planning application (2015/2042) will be presented for the demolition of the pub and the building of nine one-bedroom flats. There will be no provision for cars on the site because the site is adjacent to the town centre and therefore it is considered to be in a sustainable location.  What do you think the likelihood is that none of the new 9 to 18 occupants of this development would have a car?   Where would they park?  A local told be recently that if a development was not expected to be occupied by car-owners then that should be written into the lease of the occupancy - as it is in London.  Interesting idea - what do you think? The junction of Monument Hill and Baker Street is not, to say the least, optimal.  The sight lines are poor - the new wall might make it worse.  The curvature of the Baker Street entrance encourages speed.  The new development will reduce the width of the pavement - presently people walk over the front of the Grotto to pass each other.  These are not the fault of the proposal. The flats are entirely north facing - so the occupants could not be in their flats and overlook Hillcrest. I welcome your views on this prominent site.
