Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document
Representation ID: 19277

Respondent: Mrs Fiona Jury
The existing site is occupied by a multitude of established industrial businesses. It is an important local industrial area which provides premises for small businesses, which would be difficult to relocate. The land is likely to be heavily contaminated and would require extensive remediation to support new housing development subject to viability. The site is poorly located in relation to the railway station, Town Centre and the existing bus network. Furthermore, the existing highway already suffers from congestion, and very heavy traffic movement. Residential development is considered to be an unsuitable re-use of the site.
