Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 4400

Received: 31/08/2021

Respondent: Mr Kulwinder Rai

Representation Summary:

There is a singular lack of originality with respect to the amount and distribution of employment development planned in the rural area. That, however, is not so surprising given that the BCC's vision for the countryside is that it be preserved in amber as it is. BCC should be encouraging the formation and development of knowledge-based employment opportunities in rural areas. This would bring, in tow, massive improvements in the the delivery of high speed broadband infrastructure, which would benefit rural communities more generally.
