Interwhile uses

Abstract: Interim and meanwhile uses become popular and almost fashionable during times of economic stress. There is, or should be, a strong case for doing something rather than nothing. Set-aside may be acceptable in the countryside, but is surely not in the middle of cities. The default position should be to allow any legally and socially acceptable use on vacant space. An interim or transitional use plan should be in place in parallel with the consideration of the complex large scheme. It is suggested that getting on with projects should be enabled by means of a standard set of occupation and use conditions to govern and enable the meanwhile activity. So why not get going and change the miserable miles of hoardings for life and economic activity.
