Reasons for recommendations
Due to changes to other car
parks in the town centre there is considered to
be a need to increase the long stay provision.
 
Creating a new long stay car
park at Arley Street would provide an additional 47 long stay
spaces in the town centre
 
Arley Street car park is appropriate to be changed as it
is suitably proximate to the town centre to support workers.
Shoppers would also benefit from the 1-hour free parking as they do
on all car parks (except Flat Iron) so there is also an element of
extra short stay for the area.
 
Additional capacity for long
stay users, relieving pressure on other town centre long stay car
parks.
 
Supports economic development
by catering for staff, visitors, and shoppers requiring extended
parking and enhances overall parking strategy, supporting the
vitality of Chorley town centre.
 
Other
options considered and rejected
Not to implement an
Off Street Parking Order.  This was discounted due to the desire to increase
car parking capacity in the town.
