COUNCILLORS will decide on the University of Chester's plans for a new laboratory building and engineering design suite amid concerns over parking issues. The proposed development at the Parkgate Road campus has been called in to next week's planning committee meeting by councillor Bob Rudd due to fears the resulting loss of more than 50 car parking spaces will lead to increased problems in the surrounding streets. The university wants to erect the three-storey laboratory building on an existing car park area, while the engineering design suite would be constructed on the existing overspill car park. Although 20 new car parking spaces would be created, the overall net loss as a result of the plans would be 55 spaces, according to a planning report.
