Representations on BMSDC Joint Local Plan Consultation Document (Interactive) - Option OC1
SUPPORT South Suffolk Constituency Labour Party (Ms Emma Bishton)
Summary:
We share the council's preference that out-of centre development should be restricted, therefore support option OC1.
OBJECT Mr Chris Marshall
Summary:
Restricting all retail growth to town centres may be too restrictive as some growth may need to be accommodated away from town centres where sites become available.
COMMENT Mr Peter Powell
Summary:
* This may be too restrictive as some growth may need to be accommodated where sites become available.
* The suggestion appears to be to force all retail back into town centres, however as a rural community this is impractical unless it is supported by sufficient parking or an efficient transport network. Space needs to be allocated for parking.
SUPPORT Mx Miles Row
Summary:
This is essential as town centres are most accessible to disadvataged people and those who do not drive so helps with sticking to related policies.
COMMENT mrs Netty Verkroost
Summary:
Support for independent retailers is a high priority to give diversity and choice
OBJECT Neil Fuller
Summary:
* Restricting all retail growth to town centres may be too restrictive as some growth may need to be accommodated away from town centres where sites become available.
SUPPORT Mr Carroll Reeve
Summary:
Preference is to follow Option OC1, TC1, PS1 and RIA 2.
OBJECT Mr Graham Moxon
Summary:
This approach will only make town centre traffic congestion worse.
COMMENT Pinewood Parish Council (Mrs Sandra Peartree)
Summary:
Restricted to car show rooms, DIY, electrical or large retailers
COMMENT Mrs Louise Baldry
Summary:
Restricting all retail growth to town centres may be too restrictive as some growth may need to be accommodated away from town centres where sites become available
OBJECT Mr John Bellwood
Summary:
The suggestion appears to be to force all retail back into town centres, however as a rural community this is impractical unless it is supported by sufficient parking or an efficient transport network. Space needs to be allocated for parking.
Retail should be dispersed to where the population live not focussed on a town centre approach - given growth of internet town centres will not be shopping centres - perhaps IBC should be looking to convert space to residential use, as population drifts back to the centre for the outskirts.
OBJECT Mr Vic Durrant
Summary:
* Restricting all retail growth to town centres may be too restrictive as some growth may need to be accommodated away from town centres where sites become available
SUPPORT Sudbury Town Council (Mrs Jacqueline Howells)
Summary:
Sudbury Town Council supports OC1 as it protects the viability of the town centre of the main market town in the district.
OBJECT Mrs June Durrant
Summary:
* Restricting all retail growth to town centres may be too restrictive as some growth may need to be accommodated away from town centres where sites become available
COMMENT Mr Richard Howard
Summary:
option to protect retail facilities in smaller towns / villages which would appear to be an appropriate policy.
OBJECT Battisford Parish Council (Mr Chris Knock)
Summary:
Restrict out of town developments
SUPPORT Mr. Gerald Battye
Summary:
Market town centres need support and boosting. Retail parks are needed but already the provision is nearing saturation. Retail parks should provide sustainability to the town itself.
OBJECT Mr Simon Barrett
Summary:
Don't like any of these policies, not flexible for current market conditions.
SUPPORT Mr D C Warren
Summary:
Better to have retail near town centre rather than on out of centre
