Food LDO Europarc Phase 4
Food LDO-Outputs
• Provide key support to growth in one of North East Lincolnshire’s key industrial sectors which is of national importance.
• Reduce timescales for the planning and development process, thereby de-risking the site and increasing investor confidence and reduce development costs.
• Be an important additional marketing message and add value to the ‘Food Town Tool Box’.
• Increase the pace of investment and growth in the Food Cluster
• Support the creation of 3,500 jobs
Thoughts so far• Effectiveness too early to
say but part of positive planning toolkit
• Turning key in the right direction rather than unlocking sites
• Obvious resource demands v day job
• Don’t underestimate the inertia associated with doing something new!
• Importance of keeping land owner on your side
• Managing the public’s understanding ‘’no planning application!’’
• Expect concerns about loss of democratic control, delays and complication to be ill-founded
• But LDOs on wider sites may be problematic due to funding of technical studies
• Money and time constraints will reduce an LDO’s value
