Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22474

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Miss Judith Rogers

Representation Summary:

I agree in principle, but feel that 18 months is too short a timescale, our Neighbourhood Plan is promoting 2 years. which would seem to be a more reasonable minimum time.

ii) needs to be strengthened to state the financial viability of the site discusses all alternative uses of the site, and not just the current use. It is easy for an owner to make a place appear unviable i.e increases costs etc., when the financial rewards for residential development are so much greater. Parish Councils should have a stronger say in what is best for their village/area.
