Respondent: Mr Pieter Montyn

Representation Summary:

Para 4.56 quotes the 2035 HEDNA requirement in Policy S8 for 231,835 sq.m or 23.2 hectares of new employment space;
Para 4.57 shows this is to be achieved through combination of additional space at AL 1 (6 ha), AL 2 (4 ha), and AL15 (2.4 ha), this leaves 11 ha at AL6-not 33 ha as quoted in AL6 Section. AL 5 will also have 0.9 ha of employment space.
11 ha can be accommodated spread over other sites with better connections and not requiring a costly environmentally damaging link road; AL 6 should be disregarded for employment space.
