Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21241

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: GP Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

The promoters of HNF2 strongly SUPPORTS the Council’s stance that this is an unreasonable site for general employment uses. The site has extant planning permission for aviation uses. The site is a strategic site within the airport area and should be retained for such airport related uses.

Changes in the aviation sector assume greater use of regional airports and the demand for airport related uses is likely to increase concurrently. A change to general employment is not supported as that would place additional pressure on other sites allocated for general employment.

The promoters of HNF2 strongly SUPPORTS the Council’s stance that this is an unreasonable site for general employment uses. The site has recent and extant planning permission for aviation uses and there is no reasoned justification for a departure from that. The site is a strategic site within the airport area and should be retained for such airport related uses.

Changes in the aviation sector assume greater use of regional airports and the demand for airport related uses is likely to increase concurrently. A change to general employment is not supported as that would place additional pressure on other sites allocated for general employment.
