A representative of the Democratic Services Manager submitted a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration (copies of which had been circulated) detailing an application from the Council's Museums Service to host an open air theatre production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet In Bramhall Park on 29 June 2018.

It was commented that that notwithstanding the concern which this Area Committee had previously expressed in relation to the damage that was being caused by the use of the Archery Lawn for car parking for events being held at the park, applications continued to be submitted which proposed its use as a means of mitigating against parking problems on local streets.  It was stated that there needed to be a long term plan to make adequate, permanent parking provision for Bramall Hall and Park which did not compromise the integrity or quality of the environment of the park or the amenity of local residents.

RESOLVED – That the application be refused on the grounds that the proposal makes inadequate provision for car parking.
