Prior to the commencement of the temporary classroom use, the loss of 14 parking spaces shall be fully mitigated in accordance with the approved Staff Parking Management Plan and the formal agreement with Sainsbury’s Supermarket, including the allocation and use of staff parking spaces. The approved parking management arrangements shall be strictly implemented and maintained for the entire duration of the temporary classroom use. Any deviation from the approved arrangements shall not occur unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure adequate parking provision on and off-site and to safeguard highway safety in accordance with SWDPR 06 (Transport) and the NPPF.
