The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This allocation covers Friarscroft car park, a multi-storey public car park in west Aylesbury town centre close to the train station, for an assumed 300 homes. Redevelopment must be a well-designed, high-density scheme making good use of this brownfield site, and should explore providing fewer car parking spaces. Proposals must show that the public parking is either underused or can be re-provided, managed or offset elsewhere, and demonstrate improved sustainable travel options. The scheme should complement neighbouring regeneration areas.

The site as shown on the Policies Map is allocated for an assumed 300 dwellings. New development will be supported where it:
a) delivers a well-designed high-density scheme that makes good use of a brownfield site. To deliver this, the proposal should explore lower provision of car parking spaces. is supported by proportionate evidence of existing and future public car parking demand, including utilisation levels and appropriate alternative provision. Proposals should demonstrate that public car parking is either underused or can be appropriately reprovided, managed or offset.
b) Proposals should also demonstrate how the development would utilise and improve sustainable travel options, taking account of the Council’s Parking Standards for New Development set out in Appendix I of the Local Plan.
6.297 Friarscroft car park is in the west of Aylesbury town centre and close to the train station. The site is currently a multi-storey public car park, and any redevelopment of the site will need to demonstrate that parking can be re-provided, managed or offset at other town centre car parks or that the site is underused. Redevelopment of the site would need to complement the surrounding regeneration areas as well as being comprehensively developed with the neighbouring site - 3467 Aylesbury Multi-Cultural centre.
