Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 16190

Received: 02/11/2009

Respondent: Inner London Group

Agent: Christopher Wickham Associates

Representation Summary:

The approach of prioritising the re-use of previously developed land is sound and supported. The redevelopment of vacant industrial land at Stambridge Mills and at the former Star Lane Brickworks site (part of Star Lane Industrial Estate) will reduce the need to release Green Belt land, and will allow for the removal of contamination, the re-use of existing on-site materials, and the environmental and ecological enhancement of the sites and their surroundings. In respect of Stambridge Mills, the need to satisfy the PPS25 exceptions test follows the successful completion of the sequential test.
