Concept statements and masterplans
|
The Adopted Replacement Local Plan 2016 allocates a number of development sites for various uses which, because of the size, location and neighbouring uses and the uses proposed on the site, require a masterplan. As part of this process the borough council will prepare a concept statement for each of the sites. The subsequent masterplans will need to be prepared by developers in consultation with stakeholders, agreed with the borough council and must be in line with the concept statement for the site.
Concept statements: A concept statement is a simple, clear expression of the kind of place that a new development should create. It sets out how the policies and objectives of the Local Plan will apply to a specific site in order to deliver the best possible economic, social and environmental benefits. It is prepared by the borough council and is the subject of consultation before it is approved. The following concept statements have been adopted: Vinefields Farm, East Close, Bury St Edmunds
Land east of Suffolk Business Park
North-west Haverhill
Station Hill and Tayfen Road
We are currently consulting on the Ixworth Concept Statement (PDF 365Kb). The document can be viewed from this page or at the Ixworth Library. To comment on the concept statement please fill in a response form (PDF 25Kb) and return it to the address at the bottom of the form. Response forms must arrive with the borough council no later than 4pm on 4 July 2008.
Masterplans: Developers are required to fund the preparation of a comprehensive masterplan that should seek to provide definition and meaning to the place which is to be created and to provide a framework for investment and implementation. Masterplans must also be sufficiently detailed so the main environmental effects can be identified. Masterplans are also subject to consultation by developers before being submitted to the council for approval as planning guidance. As identified in policy DS4 of the adopted Replacement Local Plan 2016, developers will be required to fund the preparation of a masterplan for the following sites: - Vinefields Farm, Bury St Edmunds BSE2
