Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Derek Armitage

Representation Summary:

There is no clear requirement for the additional 28ha of employment land delivered by Option 2d due to the increase in home working and the already significant proposed employment provision with Option 2a - 2c.
Wholesale re-appraisal of employment land requirements needs to be undertaken in 2022-2023 when the quantum and regularity of people returning to office environments is properly understood.
