Clarity relating to the cars currently on site – are they part of the operation of adjacent units? Do they come and go? Are the cars in question parked there on a permanent basis? There are a number of cars and other paraphernalia located at the western boundary of the application site. The applicant is currently arranging for this area to be cleared of all cars and debris. This area requires to be assessed as part of the engineering and geotechnical processes. The current development site provides an area where cars associated with the industrial units operating within the motor trade can be stored. By developing this area the land will no longer be available and could result in issues with parking which may result in on street and pavement parking which would not be supported. A parking strategy for the wider site may be needed, with areas identified where the existing businesses can use to store vehicles that is not impacted by this development. 2. Details of bin storage and refuse collection arrangements. The applicant has liaised directly with both Renfrewshire Council Commercial Waste Services and Willian Tracey directly. We can confirm that subject to any condition or agreement, the applicant will implement a refuse and recycling regime for the new commercial units. An area has been set aside and is located on the northern boundary, adjacent to the existing units. This area is identified as the location where the new communal bins will be located and is shown on the revised plan SMM_OS_03 (03-24) Rev A which is enclosed for information. No swept path analysis has been submitted that demonstrates a refuse vehicle can enter and exit the site in a forward gear. The bin store location is isolated from unit closest to McKenzie Street and may not be used, resulting in these units having bins

fronting their property. 3. Details of cycle storage for staff and visitors. An area has been located immediately adjacent to the existing site access. This area has been identified as the location or a proposed Cycle Storage area for staff and visitors. This area can be increased is size as required by and agreement or condition. The area is shown on the revised plan SMM_OS_03 (03-24) Rev A which is enclosed for information. The location of the cycle parking is not central to the development and isolated from unit 6. Consideration should be given to providing a 2nd cycle parking facility at unit 6 that would cater for the units within the site and provide passive safety, ensuring staff and visitors feel comfortable to leave bicycles at this location. No details of the specification of the cycle storage have been provided and a condition should be included requesting that prior to works starting on site full details of the cycle storage shall be provided including the specification and location.
