Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Not justified - if the Local Plan's aim is to enhance the skilled worker based within HDC, Magna Park is not necessarily going to achieve this based on the profile of logisitics workers alone. Less than 20% are managerial, and 74% are "essential / basic" jobs (National Skills Survey referenced in IDI Gazeley 15/01531/OUT ADDITIONAL INFO -UPDATE TO ES CH5 - SOCIO-ECONOMIC EFFECTS 731431). This does not align with the profile of employment in Leicestershire, with 53% of employment at managerial or professional level (LLEP SDSS 2016).
