As discussed in response to Policy DEL1, it is important that policies within the BCP do not compromise the viability and deliverability of new developments, particularly in respect of the need for and delivery of onsite infrastructure. To ensure HW1 takes a consistent approach to viability with other policies in the plan, part j. of the policy would benefit from cross referencing draft policy DEL1 which sets out the tests for viability.

In terms of providing employment for all skill sets and abilities, it is estimated that during construction the proposed development will support 45 gross direct FTE jobs per annum for circa 7 years, and 40 net additional direct FTE jobs and 20 indirect / induced FTE jobs in the wider region. Once complete it will likely provide homes for 78- people of employment age, and 60 jobs in retail and leisure businesses annually.
