Respondent: Mr Joseph Busuttil

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

I agree with the principles of the policies outlined in SP4. I would however strongly recommend incorporating the provision of A4 business facilities into the proposed plans for the new local centres being created. Public houses serve as focal points for the local community. The precedent from recent community developments such as Cambourne, Cambridgeshire suggests that inadequate provision of public houses undermines and slow the establishment of a new community. I therefore object on the basis that the proposals do not currently make allowance for A4 businesses.
