Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53094

Received: 17/07/2013

Respondent: Boston Fieldgate Property Consultants

Representation Summary:

In my opinion at least 10ha should be allocated at Thickthorn net of any land for such uses as Fire Station relocation. Uses need to be broader than B1 offices and need to cover all of B1 plus B2 & B8 - the later perhaps subject to a 5,000sqm cap with ancillary uses such as Hotel - Pub / restaurant and car showrooms being considered subject to compatibility with proposed residential. Flexibility is key.
Thought needs to be given to relocation of employment uses from Common Lane Estate who may need financial support to relocate to better quality premises
