Representation ID: 57231

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Mr Roger Cowell

Agent: Phillips Planning Services Limited

Representation Summary:

We would also draw attention to the potential for mixed-use development at Site URN 676. It should be recognised that there are existing dwellings on the site, and that the location is quite sustainable, being within a short walk or cycle of Bar Hill. The site offers potential for some small scale residential development, or the potential for live-work development to add to the mix of housing typologies. Our client wishes to take this opportunity to alert the Council to the potential of the site to make a positive contribution towards housing delivery, coupled with the commercial development.
