New Local Plan

Representation ID: 3533

Received: 31/03/2019

Respondent: mrs angela baldock

Representation Summary:

All commercial/retail buildings that have lain empty for more than 2 years should be reclassified for housing. There are some buildings on the corner of London rd/Hamlet crt rd that have been empty for many years that are clearly not viable retail, so should be converted to assist with the housing demand.

Measures should be put in place to fill all the retail units in the shopping centres at Victoria and the Royals before more retail units should be built.
