Final decision reached by council.

I can announce that on 27th March 2007, the council officially approved the latest plans for the development of the Petros car park.

On 15th February the planning committee were 'minded to approve' subject to further negotiaitons. West did modify the plans to reduce the impact on the facade that borders Regency House by a token 3 metres (yes that is not a typo, three metres) on the corner joining Whitworth Street, resulting in the height of the tallest part of the building increasing.

Work has begun today clearing trees, and the car park will close for ever at the end of the week.

Regards,
Chris G

(Update 31st March: trees are down, but closing the car park has been delayed)
