Mill Road Depot Draft Planning and Development Brief SPD
Representation ID: 31085
Received: 22/07/2016
Respondent: Dr Alexander Reid
It would be out of character with the Mill Rd area to have the main part of the site devoted entirely to housing. I suggest that it would be in the creative spirit of Mill Rd to preserve some or all of the coach houses as workspace - preferably for creative purposes including affordable artists studios operated by a charity such as Digswell Arts. The southern coach house (at the Mill Rd end) could become a café/gallery, providing a lively and inviting entrance to the site.
