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

Representation ID: 23024

Received: 03/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Barry Jones

Representation Summary:

The proposal is not objectionable, subject to above with provision of off-road car-parking ideally by internal, ground floor garage. I have no objection to 3-storeys on this site.

By building on this brown-field site Beckley is losing business-use land which means a green-field site must be allocated for local employment and 'infrastructure'. Environmental evangelists would throw a wobbly at the extra man-made emissions through commuting to Hastings to work! However, no one can be forced to run a business!
