Black Country Core Strategy Issue and Option Report

Representation ID: 276

Received: 07/09/2017

Respondent: D2 Planning Limited

Representation Summary:

LCP believe that Policy EMP1 should set a target for the total employment land stock. However, the figure should not be a definitive target or ceiling. They also believe that it is still appropriate to distinguish between different types of employment areas. However, they believe that consideration should be given within such policies to enabling ancillary uses to be introduced into industrial areas which would increase the attractiveness of these areas e.g. gyms, crèches etc.
