Representation Summary:

The draft plan is defective in that it does not address the future pattern of land use and development of the very prominent and strategically important lands at the town's main northern gateway. This is all that loop of land to the east of the Grand Union Canal , and west of the Leicester Road.
Clearly there is potential to coordinate a pattern of uses on these mainly Brownfield lands that enhance the entrance to the town and at the same time results in all the land being put to high value beneficial uses.
