Representations on BMSDC Joint Local Plan Consultation Document (Interactive) - Q34
SUPPORT Old Newton Parish Council (Mrs Karen Price)
Summary:
Agree to continue to protect existing employment areas.
COMMENT Strutt & Parker Farm Ltd. represented by Strutt & Parker (Ms Laura Dudley-Smith)
Summary:
Whilst we appreciate District-wide objectives for regional scale economic growth and development, it is suggested that the emerging Local Plan has higher regard for the maintenance of growth of the rural business and small business sectors than is had at present. There are examples of small scale sites across the District that accommodate local business and services that serve the surrounding settlements and reduce their reliance and need to travel into the main urban service centres. We consider that these are vital resources in providing a level of sustainability for local villages and small settlements, as well as supporting a valuable rural economy, and should therefore be identified and protected through allocation within the new Local Plan.
OBJECT Mr & Mrs Heather & Michael Earey
Summary:
*Commercial brownfield sites should be considered in preference to greenfield for all types of development.
COMMENT Lady Valerie Hart
Summary:
Areas which do not have constraints on development or which, if developed, would not have adverse impacts on the environment and/or heritage assets.
COMMENT Mr C. Voetmann represented by Savills (Rachael Morey)
Summary:
The logic of such an approach within the existing development plans is sound and should be taken forward in any new joint plan covering both areas. Such an approach recognises the importance of the contribution that existing employment areas can make to the local area and consequently such well established employment areas (such as Mendlesham Industrial Estate) should be the focus for new additional employment allocations given the importance that such sites can make to the local economy.

Summary:
So much is likely to change in industrial practices in the next 20 years it is quite possible that we will be looking at an entirely different commercial landscape, with entirely different needs. With so much excess sites coming forward there is little point in protecting them.
COMMENT Mrs Rhona Jermyn
Summary:
Protection of existing employment areas and land - currently oversupply by 187 Hectares; need is 12.3. Mostly brownfield. Only strategic sites to be kept for 20 year supply, remainder ideal for new housing thus protecting use of greenfield. Wider use of employment sites should be permitted to fit changing commercial market.

Summary:
It will come as no surprise to MSDC that the Parish Council felt that core, hinterland and hamlet communities should be protected from additional employment development unless there were existing brown field sites providing a limited number of dwellings proportionate to the community population size. Clearly the views expressed throughout this response document from the Parish Council encourages any Local Plan to concentrate developments around urban communities to reduce travelling and ease of transport, benefiting from existing mature infrastructure and allowing sustainability.
