Policy BE2 conflicts with the statement 'the district will have a diverse and thriving economy', by allowing such a large expansion in one sector which is low paid and low skilled the opposite effect will be achieved. In the District, there are approximately 45,000 working people, the creation of c.10,000 new jobs would represent a gross over-supply. If the vision is to achieve a more diverse economy why is HDC not following the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP) strategy which aims to encourage a broad range of business development, HDC have signed up to this strategy.
