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

QUESTION 6: Do you agree with the policy approach to the retention of sites of social or economic value and the proposed policy wording?

Representation ID: 22233

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: AmicusHorizon Ltd (Rother Homes)

Representation Summary:

Yes agree but perhaps reduce the timescales for marketing. There are plenty of schemes that are left abandoned for long periods of time that could be resolved if there was a more flexible approach on a scheme by scheme basis. Perhaps, LA contributions could be used to help local communities run buildings that are community hubs etc.
