Another Portsmouth pub has been gobbled up by the constant
desire to create housing in our already over-crowded city.
Documents on the Portsmouth City Council website show the
plans to turn the floors above what used to be The New Clarendon on Clarendon Road, Southsea into an eight
bedroom student abode with the ground floor remaining as a shop.
Once again developers have been allowed to
maximise profits from a small site without providing any provision for parking. Only a small cycle store will be erected at the back of
the property, with enough space to house eight bicycles.
In my mind, these token cycle store gestures are hints that
the council knows that parking is a great issue in Portsmouth and one that is
set to worsen with each new squeezed-in development.
Make your own mind up – here is the link to the plans http://idox.portsmouth.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=M4VW7MMO02T00.
This link will take you to the PublicAccess portal where you
can add your own comment directly to Portsmouth City Council.
