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

Representation ID: 23123

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Town and Country Planning Solutions

Representation Summary:

This part of the Policy should not be prescriptive. If a site is demonstrated as being non-viable, then it is important that effective use is made of such brownfield land. It should be open to the market to determine a viable alternative use, which can then be judged against other policies in terms of potential impact. The wording should therefore, be amended to provide greater flexibility for suitable and alternative uses.
