Representation Summary:

We have no in principle comment on the continued allocation of employment space at the West of Chichester SDL but the policy [E1]and supporting text should recognize the ever-evolving nature of the employment market and provide sufficient flexibility within the policy to allow for alternative uses to come forward should marketing of employment space generate no viable market interest.

Change suggested by respondent:

The reference to 22,000m2 of employment at West of Chichester [within E1] should also be expressed ideally as a land area (6Ha to be consistent with the allocation policy A6) or otherwise be expressed as an approximate quantum as detailed design and marketing considerations may mean a different quantum of employment floor space can actually be delivered
