Royal Sussex Brighton hospital bosses drop extra parking plans
Hospital bosses drop plans for extra parking
The reverse move came to light in a planning application
Hospital bosses have proposed dropping plans to build hundreds of parking spaces to cater for extra staff, patients and visitors at the Royal Sussex.
The move was revealed in an application to amend already granted planning permission for the new Sussex Cancer Centre building in Eastern Road, Brighton.
The scheme was granted consent with a two-floor basement car park, but the revised proposal - which goes before council planners later - would have almost 300 fewer parking spaces, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS).
The original plans were approved in March 2012, and the extra parking reflected the Royal Sussex becoming an increasingly wider regional centre for medical care.
