Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Representation Summary:
Object on the following grounds:
policy is precise about the amount and location of floorspace needed which conflicts with the background paper;
question about whether sites allocated for retail provision, LG19, LG20 and LG21 are viable and deliverable in the plan period;
need for the Town Centre Strategy for Letchworth to be reviewed;
uncertainty if the identified sites are solely required for retail purposes or main town centre uses due to the wording of the supporting text; and
the retail allocations are not necessary and may preclude investment for alternative proposals.
