Representation ID: 57208

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Mr Roger Cowell

Agent: Phillips Planning Services Limited

Representation Summary:

In protecting the business space and creating further employment land, the proposal will allow for an increase in local employment opportunities, helping to develop a more inclusive economy.

Furthermore, the development would have the potential to further support the sustainability and extension of this small business park, providing supporting services such as hotels, multui-functional conference and meeting space, as well as welfare services. These would help to make the existing business park be more sustainable, reducing the need to travel further afield to use similar services and supporting sustainable growth at an existing employment location.
