Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 58852
Received: 13/12/2021
Respondent: Dobbies Garden Centres Ltd
Agent: Avison Young
We do not consider the scope of Policy S/DS Development Strategy to be wide enough to allow for potential development at Dobbies Royston Garden Centre (which is allocated within the Rural Area). This is because the proposed Local Plan states only ‘a very limited amount of development’ is proposed in the rest of the rural area. As such the list of permitted categories should be amended to include ‘horticulture and garden centres.' The rational for doing so is included at 'Rest of the rural area - General Comments.'
