Representation Summary:

ABP supports the identification of the Island Site as an opportunity area, and generally supports the points set out under 'Development Opportunities' and 'Development Principles'. However, ABP requests the removal of reference to "lower rise development" in the supporting text and to "generally low to medium rise development (3, 4 and 5 storeys)" to allow more flexibility in the development of a viable scheme capable of addressing the particular development costs on this site. ABP also requests the removal of "(max 50%)" against the residential reference, allowing a more flexible proportion of acceptable uses.

Representation Summary:

Support but require changes. This opportunity area is relatively coherent in terms of the sites it covers along the waterfront. References to the historic environment are good, including consideration of archaeology issues. We welcome statements such as maintaining the character of the conservation area and the retention of historic structures. The two diagrams show a number of non-listed buildings in bold outline. The key does not explain what these denote, but it appears to relate to retained buildings. This should be clarified.

Island Site (P56) - we are encouraged by the 'Enterprise Island' plans, particularly if an integrated transport improvement is included. The plans most recently revealed go further than the Development Plan suggests.
