Summary
The applicant proposes using levels 5 and 6 of Brunel West Car Park for several purposes. These could include filming, indoor leisure, recreation, cultural events and community activities. The site is close to homes, shops and bus stops. Thirteen property fronts have a clear view of it, while surrounding buildings block most other views. Abe's Cakes is directly adjacent, and Farnsby Street bus stops are also directly adjacent. The effect could depend on opening hours, visitor numbers, music, lighting and event management. The application could also bring new activities to space in an existing town-centre car park.

Comments can be sent to Swindon Borough Council using reference S/26/0348. Explain specific concerns about noise, opening hours, lighting, traffic or parking. The council cannot consider possible changes to local property prices.
