On behalf of Nicole Wright, please find attached response form in relation to GNLP sites 3024 and 0132 with regards to the regulation 18 draft plan consultation.

SITE GNLP3024:
2018 Submission form amendments proposed (as attached)
• 4c - 20160106
• 9a - to 1-5 years
• 11a up to 5 years.

We currently have a thriving hub of local businesses
(planning application No. 20160106).

There are currently 38 employees on the site at any one
time during the day (it was 13, 4 years ago), and with the
increased proposed development we hope to dramatically increase the no. of jobs available on the site. We aim to employ local residents wherever possible.

We have very keen interest from the the following
established businesses to join or expand on the site as soon as possible. We have been in discussions with these operators for over 12 months.
• children's nursery
• Play barn operator
• Gym and fitness
• Dance
• Restaurant
• Cafe
• Gift
• Interior design
• Health and beauty
• Office based businesses.
• A selection of independent retailers.

White House Farm would like to take on the house building consortium's obligation (from the Phase 2 land) to provide a Local Centre at White House Farm. White House Farm is ideally placed to provide a brilliant central location for these local amenities and is in discussion with Persimmon on this matter.

White House Farm has a fantastic natural buffer from the
proposed Phase 2 housing in the form of established
woodland. It will be important to secure a strategic buffer
around the entire site in the masterplan proposals for
adjacent land.
