Received: 20/04/2014

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

As I understand it there has been no independent assessment of the costs of repairing the listed buildings and as such the public and the council are not in a position to judge at what point, if ever, an enabling development should happen as 'a last resort'. We do not have (and aren't likely to have) the information to make an informed judgement on this. In any case to ascertain whether the current proposal for the old Convent site is an enabling development the guidance of English Heritage should be followed, which hasn't happened.
