Some parking permits should be off-limits to the residents of 303 new flats in High Wycombe, planners have said.

The condition relates to Dandara Living’s application for permission to redevelop the Chilterns Shopping Centre on Frogmoor, which it submitted last year and is being considered by Buckinghamshire Council.

Council highways officers confirmed this week they had no objection to the apartments, but did suggest adding conditions to make them acceptable, including relating to parking.

Officers said: “With the exception of registered disabled residents, no resident of the development shall obtain a residents’ parking permit within any controlled parking zone that may be in force within 0.5 miles of the site at any time.”

They explained this condition was ‘to protect residential parking in the area of the development’ and to ‘enforce the no car policy at the site’.

A total of 102 car parking spaces are planned in Dandara’s redevelopment of the Chilterns, which will see the shopping centre partially demolished.

Dandara said: “This is expected to provide ample provision given the nature of a build to rent scheme, as well as the town centre location of the site and the provision of car club vehicles.”

The ‘open ventilated’ car park would be spread over two levels, with access to it from the existing entry on Priory Road.

Dandara has proposed moving the car parking bays on Priory Road to the eastern side of the street.

It also plans storage space for 314 bicycles at the flats.
