"The majority of the applicant's matchday and non-matchday parking is leased from surrounding landholders, which puts this parking at threat in the future should those landholders not agree lease renewals," they added."The likelihood of spaces being lost continues to rise, given the increasing demand for brownfield space within urban areas."

AC Milan close to agreement with Brighton for Pervis Estupinan
AC Milan are close to reaching an agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion for defender Pervis Estupinan after making a second offer for the Ecuadorian. Brighton want to recoup at least the £15million they paid Villarreal for Estupinan in August 2022 and, while a final fee is still to be agreed, there has been progress in discussions between the clubs. Advertisement Estupinan sat out Brighton's 2-0 win over Las Palmas in a behind-closed-doors friendly in Marbella on Monday night, as talks over his exit continued. Competition for Brighton's starting left-back position has increased this summer, with Maxim De Cuyper arriving from Club Brugge earlier this month for a fee of €20million (£17.3m) plus add-ons, according to sources speaking on the condition of anonymity. The Belgium international joins Estupinan and Ferdi Kadioglu — who spent the majority of the season sidelined with a toe injury — at the club, while Igor, Tariq Lamptey and Jack Hinshelwood all featured at left-back last season. Estupinan joined Brighton in August 2022 from Spanish side Villareal for just under £15m and has gone on to make 104 appearances for the club, scoring five goals and providing 14 assists. The 27-year-old enjoyed a fruitful first season on the south coast, appearing in 41 games and recording nine assists as Brighton achieved their best ever Premier League finish of sixth and qualified for the Europa League. His 2023-24 campaign was heavily disrupted by injuries as he was limited to 28 games in all competitions. Estupinan played 30 Premier League games in the 2024-25 campaign, starting 26, under head coach Fabian Hurzeler, who replaced Roberto de Zerbi last summer. Brighton have been active on the incomings front this transfer window. In addition to De Cuyper, centre-backs Olivier Boscagli and Diego Coppola have arrived from PSV Eindhoven and Hellas Verona respectively, while 18-year-old striker Charalampos Kostoulas joined from Olympiacos. Wingers Yun Do-young and Tommy Watson have also joined after the club agreed deals to sign both players, from Daejeon Hana Citizen and Sunderland respectively, earlier this year. On July 2, Brighton confirmed the departure of forward Joao Pedro to Chelsea, in a deal worth in excess of £50m. ()
