Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 21635

Received: 16/03/2020

Respondent: Our Place

Agent: Lanpro Services Ltd

Representation Summary:

Our Place support the allocation of St Mary’s works under draft policy GNLP3054 for mixed-use redevelopment. This reflects the site’s sustainable location and Our Place’s intentions as both landowner and potential developer to deliver the site within the Plan Period to 2038.

That said, the allocation as currently worded, does not contain the level of flexibility required, nor does the quantum of uses specified or the Section 106 obligations noted, appear to be effectively justified or supported by robust evidence.

Please see enclosed representations letter for full set of comments.
