1. Mix of historic environment with an adapting spatial strategy. 2. Military heritage of Abbey Fields area with the perfect mile and a half 3. Preservation of the Dutch Quarter

Holistic approach to housing; smaller scale development adjoining settlement boundaries rather than large strategic allocations which do not have the infrastructure or respond to the character and appearance of the area. Opportunity to obtain significant financial contributions secured by UU by genuinely CIL compliant requests. None of the requests I as a planning consultant have received from the Council have ever met the relevant criteria for its justification. More emphasis on rural economy; the black-and-white sequential test approach to rural enterprise is rarely relevant. Schemes can be restricted to pattern of scale and growth in that settlement yet generate massive local spending. Reduce the blanket restriction on new small-scale tourism development. As Britain's oldest recording town, with the award winning Colchester Zoo, staycations and tourist economy can not only generate local employment but has the opportunity to contribute to a vibrant town centre economy. Genuine mixed-use development of the old cinema on Crouch Street by actively working with the freeholder.
