The Tiptree Jam Factory Plan focuses on the redevelopment of the Wilkin & Sons Jam Factory and future residential development on land adjacent.
The Local Plan Focused Review, incorporating the Inspector's Schedule of Main Modifications, was adopted by us on 16 July 2014.
The main change to the Focused Review document was the removal of all the employment and centres/retail policies.
The existing employment and centres policies are unchanged, and remain as they exist in the Core Strategy and Development Policies DPD.
We will continue to use the adopted Centres and Employment policies in the determination of planning applications.
