Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

RDC have not consulted on the very specific proposals to relocate the Eldon Way and Foundry Industrial Estates
ï‚· The previous CS Strategy stated "we will look at opportunities for more valuable and appropriate uses of the industrial land" with absolutely no consultation at all on concept of moving existing EW businesses entirely
ï‚· the Foundry Industrial Estate has never even been previously mentioned;
ï‚· The Urban Capacity study stated a "low probability" of housing and did not even mention the Foundry Estate

Thus the proposals are they are not founded on a robust and credible evidence base and are unsound.

RDC have not consulted on the very specific proposals to relocate the Eldon Way and Foundry Industrial Estates
ï‚· The previous CS Strategy stated "we will look at opportunities for more valuable and appropriate uses of the industrial land" with absolutely no consultation at all on concept of moving existing EW businesses entirely
ï‚· the Foundry Industrial Estate has never even been previously mentioned in any plan version; A recent amendment to the Core Strategy states this omission was due to a typing error!
ï‚· The Urban Capacity study stated a "low probability" of housing and did not even mention the Foundry Estate

Thus the proposals are they are not founded on a robust and credible evidence base and are unsound.
