IP047 Land at Commercial Road should continue to be identified as a commitment under Policy SP3 and should not be allocated under Policies SP2, SP5 and SP6. It benefits from planning permission for a mixed-use scheme that has been implemented. Re-identifying the site as an allocation is inconsistent with its treatment in previous versions of the Site Allocations DPD. In the event the Council disagrees, full consideration must be given to allocating the site for a mix of uses, including substantial new retail floorspace. Otherwise the allocation will fail to meet development needs and the Council's own retail objectives.

Respondent: Anglian Water

It is noted that it is proposed to include additional employment allocation sites in Policy SP5 which formerly had the benefit of planning permission. All of the proposed sites are expected to require improvements to the existing water supply and foul sewerage networks to enable development.

Anglian Water has no objection to the principle of development on the proposed additional allocation sites.
