The Draft Local Plan makes provision for 5,000 jobs over the plan period at an annual average rate of 250 by new allocations supported by existing employment sites. Clearly, as far as Childerditch Industrial Park is concerned, the new allocation of The Range will be an adjunct to the existing successful area, which can be easily supported by an extension of the existing infrastructure.

Emphasis the need to provide B2 and B8 Use Class Space. There are a limited number of locations in the Borough which could meet such requirements. Childerditch Industrial Park is an existing key employment location within the Borough and the allocation of The Range [Site Ref 112D] will further enhance the economic development potential of the area. The site will complement the Borough's intended employment site portfolio, providing a new employment site, which is available immediately for development to accommodate B2 and B8 uses.

The development of The Range [Site Ref 112D] has the ability to provide a large number of jobs in a variety of employers in a location accessible to the local urban population. The development could generate between 83 and 138 jobs based on a B2 use of the 3,000 sq.m to 5,000 sq.m of floor space indicated.

Proposed Policy 8.3 is supported on the basis that the proposed allocation for the Range will be able to fully meet the criteria set out.

In particular an extension of 2.34 hectares to the Childerditch Industrial Park would satisfy the Employment Development Criteria as follows:
a) The proposed extension by 1/10th is of a scale that would not have a significant visual or impact upon the locality as indicated by supporting documents.
b) Supporting documents confirm that the development on The Range North would not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding area.
c) The Childerditch Industrial Park is exceptionally well located on the road network as indicated in the AA.
