The supermarket is currently undertaking essential repairs to its own car park. The proposed arrangement aims to allow Waitrose to continue operating with minimal disruption by providing its existing customers with alternative parking while the repairs are carried out.
The current planning condition prevents public parking at Causeway, a measure introduced after the opening of the Northgate End multi-storey car park. This proposal is intended to temporarily replace parking unavailable at Waitrose, rather than increase the total parking capacity in the area. The arrangement would be in place only for the duration of the repairs.
An application to vary the condition on Causeway Car Park has been submitted and will be reviewed by the council’s planning team. If approved, further details regarding the parking arrangements, specific dates, and the expected duration of the repairs will be communicated.
