Proposed Submission Core Strategy

Representation ID: 20807

Received: 26/09/2011

Respondent: John Jempson and Son Ltd

Agent: Mr Christopher Atkinson

Representation Summary:

This section of the Core Strategy rightly identifies the need to secure sustainable economic growth as an essential function of the Strategy, and this is translated into policy via policies EC1, 2 and 3. Policy EC3 in particular focuses on existing employment sites and seeks to retain and enhance them, allowing intensification and redevelopment of such sites where appropriate.

Therefore, stronger justification and clarification is needed or alternatively, this element of the policy should be deleted..
