Representation ID: 59051

Received: 13/12/2021

Respondent: Railpen

Agent: Bidwells

Representation Summary:

S/OA/NR and S/OA/BC

Railpen, as landowner of both Newmarket Road Retail Park and Beehive Centre, support the Local Plan ‘First Proposals’ to include for two new Opportunity areas as S/OA/NR and S/OA/BC to cover each site, respectively. The policy direction recognises the current sites do not make efficient use of the land in what is a highly sustainable location and could be reimagined to bring about a multitude of social, economic and environmental benefits.

Railpen support the policy approach and look forward to working with stakeholders to determine what the optimum, long-term and beneficial reimagining of the sites could be.
