Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 17767

Received: 06/04/2010

Respondent: Mr Terry Waine

Representation Summary:

Eldon Way is becoming the leisure centre of Hockley district (CJ's, Cullys', Monkey Bizziness and the new Youth Centre) and this trend should be expanded. The leisure part of Eldon Way should be allocated for 'Leisure Use'. There are large businesses e.g. Ironmongery Direct, Belmar Engineering etc. and compensating them for relocation costs (including loss of profits) will be expensive. It is understood that CPO's will not be used. Why were the flat developments not continued into the Factory Industrial Estate? Instead an unrented part completed office block was built.
