Draft Local Plan

Representation ID: 13115

Received: 15/02/2016

Respondent: Mr Chris Hossack

Representation Summary:

Conversion of redundant or under utilised agricultural buildings should be permitted to minimise the requirement for new builds in the GB.
Ancillary buildings to facilitate the use of open space for sport and recreation should be permitted. ie. to play football one needs CHANGING FACILITIES and TOILET FACILITIES and a place to PARK. The council cannot provide football/Rugby/cricket fields without providing these vital ancillary buildings. By doing so the council will effectively be permitting unworkable facilities that are not fit for purpose.
