Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: H. J. Molton Settlement

Agent: Cheffins

Representation Summary:

What support will be available for developers in seeking to meet the high standards proposed? Will the potential impact on viability be taken into consideration? Regardless of the chosen approach, it would be useful to include further guidance/information in a supplementary planning document (SPD).
