The allocation is contrary to Objective 2 (p17) and Policy BE2.2.c as it will not 'create new jobs that meet local employment needs' or 'increase employment opportunities for local residents'. This is because in the whole of Harborough District there were only 1200 people registered unemployment from April 2016 - March 2017 (https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/lmp/la/1946157143/report.aspx#tabempunemp) a rate of 2.6%, well below 4.2% for the East Midlands and 4.7% nationally.
