Representation ID: 6667

Received: 14/09/2021

Respondent: Stevington Parish Council

Representation Summary:

SPC is generally supportive of the employment policies although it may well be sensible to consider the addition of a policy condition to the supply timeline similar to point 3.5 (Growth and spatial strategy options) that allows for employment site delivery to be linked to known housing demand as the two are intrinsically linked.
SPC would support particular attention being paid to attracting companies and employment opportunities which will support local efforts to decarbonise the economy (e.g., electrification of transport and homes)
and enhance the biodiversity of the borough (e.g., many more ecologists/ wild life /environmental specialists will be needed to enable the county to deliver a greener more biodiverse environment.
