This report set out the results of an Employment Land Review Consolidation Study, which had been commissioned to inform the Local Development Framework and would also be important in delivering the Council’s Economic Strategy. The Study followed guidance issued by Communities and Local Governement and asked how much employment floorspace would be required in the future and was it of the right type and in the right location.
The report set out the conclusions of the study including a new jobs target of 21,500 by 2026 and that, overall, no further land releases were required to meet the overall needs of the area.
