The recently adopted Local Plan therefore makes it clear that planning applications are capable of being submitted and granted planning permission in advance of the AAP being adopted.

Brookgate Land Limited are seeking to bring forward Phase 1b a residential-led, mixed use development providing 1000 PRS accommodation, a new specialist maths college and another office building. The intention is to submit a planning application by the end of 2019.

The approach in the recently adopted local plan in respect of early submissions should not be watered down through the AAP process. Through the AAP process the opportunity to bring Brookgate land forward early should be explicitly acknowledged as beneficial to the regeneration of the area.
