Consideration needs to be made for employment sites to the North of the city.
4.57 Makes no mention of employment site to the North of the city. This should be included in the plan to facilitate employment sites for those residents of CDC area outside of the local plan area that are likely to move to Chichester to become economically active. Only focusing on the other peripheral areas and in particular the South West means increased traffic journeys for staff or prospective staff to get to the workplace. Building employment space outside the SDNP but to the North of Chichester is essential to unlock access to employment opportunities from residents of the SDNP. Common sense business gravitas and business growth is achieved by collocation of grouped businesses. As a result the benefits of employment site development in the Goodwood Westhampnett area delivers a motor technical base and benefits all businesses in that sector. No mention is made of collocating like business that can have huge business benefit and the effects to the local economy for raised income and business profit.
