There is a clear relationship between the delivery of employment land and the delivery of land for housing as existing employment land needs to be released for housing but the employment space needs to be reprovided. It is considered that the council has failed to address this in the draft allocations of employment sites. The Economic Futures Report (2014) suggests that the Council complete an employment trajectory to determine the availability and likely delivery of sites. The advice has not been followed by the Council and it's therefore unclear whether the proposed employment allocations will come forward in a period that reflects the need for housing on the employment sites that are to be redeveloped.
