Station Approach: business and parking impact

How Station Approach parking changes could affect commuters, visitors and nearby businesses.

Proposed parking changes

The Station Approach project removes the Cattle Market and Gladstone Street car parks.

  • Cattle Market loss: 360 spaces (Northern Quarter).
  • Gladstone Street loss: 105 spaces (Station Quarter).

Previous forecasts model around 309 daily vehicles shifting towards Tower Street if the proposed losses happen.

What this could mean

Cattle Market’s 360 commuter spaces face displacement; City Science forecasts push demand into Tower Street and Worthy Lane.

Around 360 commuter spaces could be affected at Cattle Market. Tower Street is already heavily used at peak times.

If you rely on city-centre parking, compare Park & Ride and other alternatives before busy periods.

Alternatives

With Cattle Market (-360) and Gladstone (-105) removed, commuters should review the Winchester Parking Guide for Tower Street capacity and Park & Ride alternatives.
