ECC questions the inclusion of site 121 (Mellon House) in the calculations of existing allocated employment land given evidence which advises that this site has been sold to a residential developer. The site has Permitted Development approval for 70 flats and planning permission granted for an additional 5 penthouses.

ECC seeks clarification over the assumptions and considerations taken when determining the delivery forecast figures assigned to the employment sites, other than BEP.

ECC seek clarification on the balance to be achieved between providing residential development in the town centres, on sites currently providing car parking facilities, and the need to ensure local retail and leisure sector businesses continue to thrive and are provided with suitable facilities.
