Representation Summary:
Policy 5.3 states that providing 5,000 new jobs will require 32.8 hectares of employment land, however, it is unclear how this land requirement is derived from the job growth. In comparison, the Economic Futures Report (2014) identifies that the overall employment land requirement is for up to 41.65 hectares.
It is very unclear where the 32.8 hectares is derived from as the paragraph 5.61 sets out the calculation which ends with a requirement of 36.74 hectares
We consider that the employment land allocation needs to increase to reflect a higher job growth requirement across the Borough.
