Representation ID: 6852
Received: 16/11/2017
Respondent: Mr Scott Munton
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
Currently there are two outstanding planning applications for 700,oo0 square meters of warehousing on which your evidence is based indicating the proposal is not strategic but opportunist not focusing on meeting employment needs of the district. In addition creating 10,000 similar type jobs at MP would not achieve one of the Local Plan goals of reducing out-commuting, Currently over 60% of MP employees travel in from outside the district, I see no evidence this would change, There are very low levels of unemployment in Harb Dist less than 2% with MP suffering recruitment issues now -we don't need this here.
