Representation Summary:
Strategic objectives of the Plan include to maintain high and stable levels of economic growth; and economic development is one of the overarching priorities.
It should also be recognised that housing development has intrinsic economic benefits. This includes employment relating directly to the construction of the development, and jobs relating to the supply chain. Housing development also engenders local economic benefits relating to additional local expenditure. It is important that the economic growth aspirations of the Local Plan and the housing growth policy support, rather than contradict, one another.
