Representation Summary:
Borough has unmet employment need, partly due to new homes requiring new jobs. The Economic Futures report (2014) sets out three scenarios, the highest (including replacement of existing employment land losses) requires 37.35 and 41.65 hectares of new employment land. This should be higher if more existing employment sites are re-allocated. The report sets out that majority of job growth is expected to be office-based.
Strategy should focus employment development in and around primary urban areas; more sustainable and accessible with reduced trip lengths, in accordance with NPPF.
