Chief Executive’s Report on Draft Plan Consultation
Volume 2 – Summary of Submissions Received
Summary of Submission and Observation:
The submission makes the following specific points: • If there are more homes built in the city centre that means less traffic on the roads, more parking spaces as well as cleaner air and less dereliction in the city centre. • There is the lack of affordable housing in the city centre with many people forced to move to the suburbs to live. This results in severe traffic congestion especially at peak times and with the return of offices and also the number of new office developments either completed, under construction or in the planning stages this is going to mean more people working in the city centre in the years to come.
