None of the preferred strategy options allocate any growth in the north, including for employment purposes. Our client raises an objection on the basis that the plan is not giving proper consideration to supporting existing employment areas in the north of the Borough, not considering opportunities to support the expansion of those existing businesses. Our client’s site at Thurleigh could expand onto land (Site 715) adjacent to his existing employment site at Keysoe Road. As a large business and local employer, it was hope dthat the sites identification might come through either an allocation, or an altered policy framework setting out support for the growth of existing businesses.
