Turnstone agrees that appropriate levels of car parking must be planned for as part of the CNFE development. However, parking associated with the railway station must not, under any circumstances, interfere with the need to create a proper entrance/arrival point to CNFE, and therefore parking should not be delivered for cars at the expense of high quality provision for bicycles, bus interchange and public realm.

In general terms, and subject to detailed designs, Turnstone would tend to support the view that a more efficient use of land can be made if a multi-storey car park is provided, although this should not visually dominate the station area.
