Representation Summary:

As is consistent with other objections to the focused review of the core strategy and to this DPD submitted by Applekirk Properties Ltd, the company considers that the land use policies for the waterfront (as proposed) are inadequate for the waterfront's regeneration needs. In particular the policy needs more flexibility and to recognise that interim uses can make a contribution. Acceptable land uses in planning terms for this area need to include retail for it to stand any chance rekindling its regeneration.
