Q3. Do you agree with the spatial strategy we have set out? If not why not, and what alternative would you suggest?

Representation ID: 5311

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Jaguar Land Rover

Agent: Mr Neil Tiley

Representation Summary:

Brownfield-first approach in spatial strategy is contrary to NPPF; which supports the review of Green Belt where required to promote sustainable patterns of development.
Also contrary to Policy P7 which seeks to focus development in most accessible locations.
Limits necessary flexibility required to respond to business needs in most appropriate locations. Should delete this paragraph.
Guiding principles which support delivery of UK Central Masterplan, including JLR, are consistent with NPPF. However, ignores release of Green Belt to support businesses other than HS2.
Growth ambitions of JLR are supported in Policy P1 and need to be added to Paragraph 104.

Q5. Do you agree with the key objectives that development is expected to meet as identified in Policy P1 are appropriate? If not why not? Are there any others you think should be included?

Representation ID: 5313

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Jaguar Land Rover

Agent: Mr Neil Tiley

Representation Summary:

Welcome policy support provided by Policy P1. However, the objectives would be addressed at planning application stage; a number of which are insufficiently clear and/or appear onerous.
Clarify terms 'growth' and 'place-making'.
E.g. economic development proposals evidently support economic growth. Place-making usually refers to mixed use developments. Unclear how employment-led proposal would support strong, vibrant and healthy communities.
