The Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan Submission Draft in its policies HA4 and BE1 allocates the Uppingham Gate site for mixed-use development, to include not only B class employment uses, but also significant retail and assisted living housing development. The wider range of uses is not only meeting local demand for the type of development proposed but also market demand necessary to ensure a fully viable development.
We therefore OBJECT to policy E1 which allocates the Uppingham Gate site solely for employment uses and instead it should be redesignated as a mixed-use site.

In order to ensure the viability of the development of the site which has remained undeveloped for a number of years the site will be allocated for mixed use development (residential and commercial) in the emerging Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan which is likely to be made early in 2024 well ahead of the adoption of the Local Plan. The proposed allocation for employment by the draft Local Plan is clearly in conflict with this and should be amended to reflect the allocation in the Neighbourhood Plan

This site has been allocated for mixed employment and housing use in the Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan which now carries some legal weight. This decision has the support of all leading community groups in the town and the Town Council.
