Representation Summary:

An allocation of the size in Policy BE2 would lead to a vast number of employment opportunities. Uemployment in the area is very low, the majority of the workforce required for an allocation of this size would have to be recruited from outside the district. Key Issue 3 of the Local Plan highlights that there is a requirement for more opportunities for 'higher skilled residents' in the district. 74% of the opportunities are for essential/basic jobs, the people filling these roles will commute from areas where unemployment is higher and house prices are lower.
