Development Management Policies DPD
Representation ID: 17644
Received: 31/03/2010
Respondent: Hockley Residents Association
The proposals for Hockley Town Centre, Eldon way and Foundry Industrial estate are pre-empting the outcome of the Core Strategy; and the concurrent Allocations DPD (which asks residents to choose between a town and village). It also contradicts the council's own evidence base where the Retail and Leisure Study 2008 recommends reclassifying Hockley as a village and states it will not support further shops.
