Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

The above policy is not sound because the policy fails to account for the £10M investment which has been made at BIE over the previous 10 years, including refurbishments to Hangar T2 by Volvo (supporting c.15 jobs), the development of Royal Enfield's Research and Development Centre (80 jobs), the erection of a commercial vehicle paintshop for BIAS (30 jobs) and the erection of a Pre-Delivery Inspection building for BIAS (70 jobs). These developments have been granted planning permission with allied landscaping improvements which are currently in the process of being constructed. The refurbishment or redevelopment of the balance of the Industrial Estate should not require an approved masterplan to include development proposals already undertaken.
