Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 21683

Received: 28/04/2010

Respondent: Aber Ltd

Agent: Colliers International

Representation Summary:

To meet the number of new jobs required in the RSS, if sites are de-allocated, then additional employment sites will be required. As the supply of employment land within the District is limited, any new sites will require the release of Green Belt land. As these sites will be outside of the existing urban areas, it is unlikely that these sites will be in as sustainable locations as the existing employment sites.

This site has very good accessibility, with links to the road network and close to the train station.

Instead of developing the whole site for residential; it would be more appropriate to redevelop the site for a mixed use scheme, including an element of new purpose built commercial space to meet current employment demands, in accordance with the provisions of PPS1 and PPS4.
