A new development has been built under Planning consent 20/01286/FUL which is a mixed-use development in the centre of Gloucester comprising new office space, a hotel, retail centre and a multi-storey car park called The Forum.
Gloucestershire County Council is proposing to introduce waiting, loading and stopping restrictions in the roads surrounding the new Forum development.
Several Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) have already been consulted on and a decision made to proceed. However, the taxi trade and Gloucester City Council Licensing Team have raised concerns about the loss of permanent taxi rank space compared to pre-development. Gloucestershire County Council officers have worked with the developer to come up with a solution suitable for all.
