Development Management DPD Preferred Policy Options Document

Representation ID: 28281

Received: 19/01/2012

Respondent: Ms Jean Townsend

Representation Summary:

Look carefully at Broad Parade in the Broadlands estate in Hockley. It is a huge eyesore in the neighbourhood and does not warrant retention. If you can legally enforce complete renovation of the property and its appalling surroundings, right up to the Greensward Lane pavement, it may be useful to keep this facility. If you cannot enforce the transformation of this slum site, then it would be better to replace it with some smart residential accommodation.
