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

Representation ID: 22686

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Miss Judith Rogers

Representation Summary:

Do not agree. I thought that I read somewhere that the site would need to be marketed and empty for 18 months before other uses would be considered - where is this wording as part of this policy?
Our Neighbourhood plan is suggesting 2 year for our village given that space is in such short supply to get new business sites if existing sites are lost. Perhaps a longer time scale is needed for rural areas?
