Does this mean that planning will be supportive of creative solutions including within domestic design?
Only part of the waste picture. Difficult to run any domestic recycling or repair operation in this area as economic model struggles (rents too high). You have to go to St Ives or Newmarket or Saffron Walden to find really good second hand furniture shops - there's a tiny bit here and there.
Would be great to have a re-use economy here including library of things - would need top level support and spaces allocated. The economics don't seem to work. Needs more support.
