Green light for new car park in Derby city centre

A new 150-space car and coach park is set to come to Derby city centre after planning permission was granted by the City Council.

Derby-based town planning consultancy Planning & Design Practice secured the green light for the facility in the North Riverside area of the city.

A statement from the firm said: “The new coach parking provides a facility for visitors to the city to enjoy the thriving cultural scene in Derby, with organised coach trips to theatre visits and other events.

“As part of the development a welfare/facilities building will be provided on the site for coach drivers, creating a more attractive and convenient offering at this cathedral quarter location.”

Spaces for 150 cars are shown on the plans, along with cicycle racks and eight electric vehicle charging points

The car park development will provide city centre parking largely on a permit holder basis for workers at several nearby city centre offices, but also with spare capacity for visitors.
